Hi dear Touchdesigners!
I am having some troubles with my new MIDI controller AKAI Pro mpk LPD8 - I was dreaming about it for such a long time and now I can not use it.
It has 8 pad and a side button which activates changes in programs - so if you go with 1st program, all the pads work in one way, if you switch to another program, they work differently ans so on. My problem is that when I switch to different program, the values from the program I am switching from disactivate. All the set up of the pads from 1 program “on” and “off” values goes to “off”.The button to shiwch programs send the message “note off” to everything what is activated in the program I am switching from. How can I disable this function? I would love to switch between programs without disactivating all the set ups.
Then I look and MIDI mapper, the button to change programs sends the same message of “off” to the activated pads as the pads have in their own “off” messages.
The problem appears just when I program pads as toggles - then they are in momentary setting, the problem does not appear. Then I change them in touchdesigner via “count” chop to make the value stay. I would go with using them that way but the colours on pad do not change in momentary mode so I do not know if I turn on the specific parameter to which I connect the pad.
I am controlling visuals with the pad, probably that is why I am having those issues.
I would deeply appreciate your help!
