Hi, Im fairly new to TD and been stuck at this one step in my development that i can’t seem to grasp.
I have a midi controller to use as a switch between 20+ COMP Base that will have effects in them.
So, press button1 and i have Base_1 displayed… press button2 and get the Base_2 displayed etc.
There will be about 60 COMP Base to switch between.
Mapping the controller itself is done as per this tutorial [TouchDesigner | Working with Midi 1/4 - YouTube] (TouchDesigner | Working with Midi) by Matthew which was very helpful. And it means i can successfully map the midi button1 to “b1”
How can i get “b1” to select Base_1 and “b2” to select Base_2 and so on?
it very much depends on what you mean by “switching between Bases”, and on how your network is set up.
I have attached below a quick example on how to select different TOPs or Bases. Have a look and let me know if it helps.
The first two examples use a Switch TOP, the third one uses an Op Viewer COMP.
I don’t have a MIDI controller with me at the moment so I have created in my network three Buttons and renamed them b1 b2 and b3, hopefully to mimic your scenario. Click on those to select a different TOP.
I hope this helps to get you untangled.
If it doesn’t perhaps the next step could be for you to upload a simplified version of your network (say with 3 bases only).
Generally speaking, whichever solution you go for, it should be scalable, aka it should work with 3 bases, or 60, or 300.
