Thanks for responding to such an arguably off topic question. After a bit of tinkering around I have managed to figure things out, mostly.
I am trying to use Rosegarden to control SooperLooper in order to automate a variety of tasks, thereby freeing my hands from the mouse and putting them back on my guitar where they belong. So far I have managed to assign midi binding to the more basic commands. Pretty straight forward, really. Just go to SL's session->properties dialog and select the MIDI Bindings tab. Assign events to notes and then make an RG file containing these notes. However, I am a bit stymied trying to set up a pitch_shift binding. When I try to create such a binding in the midi binding tab of the preferences dialog, I see the target range showing -12 to +12 as I would expect, but I'm kind of confused by data range options. Obviously 128 doesn't divide evenly by 25, so I'm guessing I should limit the range to something that does - say from 88 to 112. When I do this I get the following line in my .slb file: 0 n 74 set pitch_shift 0 -12 12 norm 88 112 But then where does the data come from? These control events show up in RG as plain old notes. So the only "data" they're packing is the velocity. So I set up and RG file where the are a bunch of note 74 type events and I give them velocities somewhere in the range of 88 to 112. (Fortunately for me, 100 is the default velocity for a new note in RG, which corresponds to a pitch_shift of 0). Much to my surprise this almost works as expected. The only problem is that as soon as the notes end, the pitch_shift reverts to the unhelpful default of -12. This is easily corrected by changing the event type from "note" to "note on" in the midi event panel at the bottom right of the midi bindings tab. Why it defaults to -12 is a bit puzzling though. One minor glitch is that pitch shifting the loop to which SL is synching will cause other loops to fail to trigger, so don't do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
