Re: [bigastaire] direct link to a midi controller knob

I'm not sure if you mean a have Isadora listen to a MIDI Controller, or if you mean to have one of Isadora's Controllers in the Control Panel listen to the knob. Here's an explanation of both.
1) To receive information from a MIDI knob, you would use a Control Watcher from toolbox number 3. Let's say that the knob is broadcasting controller 63 on MIDI channel 2, you could set the Control Watcher Inputs like this:
channel = 2
controller = 63
value = 0-127
Now, any time a MIDI control change message from controller 63 on MIDI channel 2 is received, the value will be sent to the value output.
2) If you are attempting to link a "Dial" control in the control panel to the MIDI value, you can link from an actor output to the Dial itself. To do this:
a) Assuming you have a Control Watcher from the example above, choose "Show Controls" from the Controls menu, and then also choose "Show Actor/Control Split" from the Controls menu.
b) add a Dial Control to the Control Panel. Take note of it's Control ID, which you will see in the top right corner if the Control Panel is in Edit Mode.
c) On any Isadora Value output, click the title of the parameter. (E.g., the 'value' output of the Control Watcher actor) to get the property inspector. In the field to the right of "Ctl ID Link" enter the Control ID mentioned in step (b).
d) Now, when the Control Watcher receives a value, and the 'value' output changes, the Dial will move to show the new value.
Hopefully this answers your question.
Best Wishes,
Mark
