Midi-Expander for Transit

Open mosesve opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi Ben,

this is slightly related to issue #270 - but for Transit.

I am using Transit to save presets of multiple modules (say a complete subharmonicon via SlimeChilds Substation) to recall them later via Midi Program Change. In addition I would like to change mapped parameters via midi as well. Since dual mapping via X4 would need around 20 X4-Modules I thought that a Midi-Expander for Transit could be useful. I imagine essentially a Midi-CAT which has Midi-I/O and the mapped parameters of transit already listed which then could be assigned via Midi-Learn. In addition the Expander could receive Program Change from the same midi-device and switch Transits Presets (as an alternative option to the CV-Input on Transit).

Thanks for the latest update!

Are you still interested in this?
I'm not very convinced of the idea to have an actual expander with MIDI functionality (as already implemented in MIDI-CAT) but I can imagine a simple expander for exposing the parameters to MIDI-CAT: It would be a simple 1 or 2HP expander with no actual parameters on the panel but providing 128 parameters internally which can be mapped by MIDI-CAT using "Map module (left)".
