Eclipse: External MIDI controllers are at 99.21% when CC value =64

[semientendre]

Hi,

I am trying to use external MIDI CCs to control parameters on my Eclipse. But the Eclipse only reacts to values 0 to 64, not 0 to 127. 64 results in a mod value of 99,21%. Sending a value over 64 doesn’t change anything – also, the mod value never goes to a full 100% (so no luck in setting eg the range of a pitch shifter to  an octave). And of course, this also means that the (already coarse) CC range of 0-127 is even more coarse. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed to set this scaling? 

Thanks a lot for any pointers.

More information would be good – what controllers, how are your driving them, what are you controlling, etc.

It sounds like you are trying to use a "trigger" (essentially a switch) as a controller.

Hi Nick, thanks for your answer. I am sending a series of CC events from 0 to 127, I tried both from a Midi controller and from a synth and from my step sequencer. So I can confirm that this is happening in the Eclipse and not to do with what I am sending. I tried to map ext1 to ext16 to Midi CCs.

If you don’t have any suggestions I’ll try to reinstall the OS and see if it fixes it.

Sorry – still not much information. It ould be helpful if you would give a single example with actual numbers for all relevant settings.

Not sure that re-installing the software will help, but re-initializing the unit (8 key) would be worth trying.

Re-initializing solved it! Thanks for the suggestion!
