This can be done with LATCH mode: Try this (untested):

Code

PushButtonAction({
    "callback": BinaryParameterCallback(
        mapping = KemperMappings.TAP_TEMPO(),
        text = "Scanner",
        color = (255, 255, 255)
    ),
    "mode": PushButtonAction.LATCH,
    "useSwitchLeds": True,
    "display": YOUR_DISPLAY_LABEL    
})

The default KemperActionDefinitions.TAP_TEMPO uses momentary mode because this reflects the standard Kemper button behaviour, but if you like it differently, no proplem, just copy its code into your switches.py and alter it like you need in this case just the mode is changed to LATCH, which sends a 1 for enabling and a 0 to disable on the next press and so on. MOMENTARY would send a 1 at push, and a 0 at release.

Works! I do not need to send a second message, works with one message sending value 1, second press disables the beat scanner.

Many Thanks !

Hi, i do not know any MIDI commands to request the type for the Effect Buttons as it can be done for the slots... did not ask the support but it seems this is not exposed by the Kemper.

However you can color them with fixed colors if that helps (see the color parameter to BinaryParameterCallback)

My Fault .... it was a coincidence that the color corresponds to the assigned slot effect color, sorry.

I will try a fixed color, I think that helps

Thanks!

And another question ... I want to change the PushButtonAction for EFFECT_BUTTON to momentary

    # Switch 3
    {
        "assignment": Hardware.PA_MIDICAPTAIN_MINI_SWITCH_3,
        "actions": [
            PushButtonAction(
                {
                    "callback": BinaryParameterCallback(
                        mapping=KemperMappings.EFFECT_BUTTON(2)
                    ),
                    "mode": PushButtonAction.MOMENTARY,
                }
            )
        ],
    },

This works except the color do not represents the color of the EFFECT. Is this possible ?

Thanks!

i just installed PySwitch 2.2.0 and the customizes switches as I like. I still need to lern how to configure the display for my needs ...

Many thanks to tunetown for this greate work !!!

Maybe someone have a tipp how I can get the following:

With the first press of a switch I want to activate the Beast Scanner with CC 30 and value 1

With the second press (or a long press) I want to deactivate the Beat Scanner. It would be great for a short example how this can be achieved

Cheers

I have the HOTONE AMPERO Switch which is a momentary normally open one. I checked this with a multimeter!

When I select Mode "Profiler Switch" in RM, then the switch works as expected (I set it to Bank Up Down)

But when I select Mode "Dual Switch" the Banks are wrapping around.

So for me it looks like "Profiler Switch" expects an normally open switch and "Dual Switch" a normally closed?. Are my assumptions correct? Or what is the reason for this behavior.

Oh yes please….

I don't think we will create dedicated light shows for each of the hundreds of functions you could control at a Player via MIDI .... Morphing, Looper, up to eight effect modules, Action&Freeze... Way too confusing. Either you are using a MIDI footcontroller and its buttons have their own LEDs, that you could leverage to provide orientation. Perhaps you need to reconsider which functions to control with the three built-in foot switches and which others via MIDI. Or you are using software to run your show and rely on it anyhow.

Yes you are right .....

I have the impression that on the Stage the brightness difference of the morph / not morphed switch LEDs is greater than on the player. Maybe you can change this a little bit. Or maybe add such a settings to the RM ?

In general, because the player relies extensive on LED colors, maybe in the future we can have an additionaöl system settings page for LED color and brightness adaption? Only an idea which came just in my mind ......

Quote from JohnnyBee

I would prefer different colors more than one bright one darker.

OH yes, like in RM from red to blue?

Many thanks for the info! You do not use the AIRSTEP Bluetooth MIDI directl. Did you try this!

With the cables USB C to B I had no luck until now …. And I tried some of them..

Quote from Arek77

No. Read my comment.

In my experience:
1. Player works with Airstep using USB B to USB C cable.
2. Player does not work with Airstep using Roland UM-one.
3. Player does not work with Airstep using USB A to USB C cable.
4. Player works with Airstep using wireless USB A transmitter paired with wireless MIDI receiver.
5. Player does not work with BOSS FC-50 when connected using Roland UM-One.

Hopefully my comments helps someone troubleshooting their MIDI connection.

—————————-

What was the goal of your comment?

Hi Arek77 I cannot get case 1. working. Do I need a special USB C (Airstep) to USB A (Player) cable? I had already suggestions from you. Just want to know if you have in the meantime new insight connecting the Airstep to the player, becaus I still cannot get it working

For case 4., which MIDI receiver do you use?

Thanks

Quote from G String

Gentlemen, can we close this one now ?

Quote from timo

The CCs you are using are the equivalent to buttons. You need to send 1 for "pressed" and 0 for "released".

So send always pairs of 1 and 0. It is all stated in the manual.

I do this With the M-Vave Chocolate, but not with PySwitch and Midi Captain.

tunetown Is it possible to send pairs with PySwitch?

Big thanks to @tunetown & @gstrotmann for this great work.

Good evening,

today i got my MIDI Captain MINI 6, installed PySwitch and in customization progress

I am able to activate the Beat Scanner an keep it running. For deactivate I need to press the KPP TAP/Tempo button (assigned to KPP FS3). Thanks to tunetown for the sample code above. When I again send a cc 30 0, the Beast scanner is deactivated, but I cannot again activate it with a cc 30 0 until I press the KPP TAP/TEMPO button.

I can select all my rigs in the current bank. When I again press the rig select button of the active rig, the rig is morphed because I have "Rig Button Morph" activated in the KPP settings. Is it possible to send a CC 50-54 with value 0 when he same rig select button is pressed again? Or is it possible to set a dedicated button to activate morph with the first press and deactivate it with the second press?

Is it anyhow possible to get the actual bank color and show it in the display or color the button LEDs?

Is it possible to color the button LED only for the button of the selected rig? e.g. When button 1 selects rig 1 and the rig one of the blue bank is active. The the button 1 LED should be blue. the other buttons in any other default color. When I then press button 2 for rig to, thkis button LED should become blue and the button 1 LED in a default color. The idea is that the rig select button is anyhow highlighted when it's rig is active.

Many Thanks

Stefan

Quote from Burkhard

.........

The left/lower LED represents the Base Sound, the right/upper LED represents the Morph Sound.

.......

This only works when one of the Player FS is used for morphing, but not when morphing is triggered by MIDI, right?

So my wish would be a blinking Rick Switch or Rick LED or a brighter Rick LED.

When Morphing is triggered by MIDI switch, then the bank button and/or bank LED should blink

Thanks I tend to use Visual Studio Code a lot in the last year or so. Eclipse is also good however, Eclipse has a steeper learning curve....VS Code is pretty simple....

Hi tunetown , many thanks for your attention….. but until now I have not ordered a mini 6, I am still in the decision and evaluation state 🤭

Maybe I find a special deal during the black week …..

In the meantime I downloaded PySwitch and had first look at the code. It looks well structured and organized! Do you have a recommendation for a IDE for macOS?

Quote from tunetown

Hi Stefan D that constellation is no problem. The only thing missing is the Morph Button, which is on my list for next release. The Beat Scanner is automatically activated when tap tempo is pushed. If thats sufficient, just use that - or do you also need to disable it again? There is a MIDI command also for this, however the mapping is not predefined. You can make it work nevertheless by manually specifying the ParameterAction (there is a new section in the README about that in the next version, too).

tunetown That sounds good ! I will get your Firmware and will have a look If I understand the configurations or if I need to learn a little bit Python. Should be possible because I did some programming in the past before retirement.

Currently I have Tap Tempo / Tuner set on KPP FS-3. Actually I sent a "CC 30 1" with M-Vave Chocolate (long press:-) ) which enables the beat scanner and keep it active (I asked Kemper if a permanantly running beat scanner may be a performance problem and the are saying NO) When Beat Scanner is active and I Press KPP FS-3, the beat scanner is disabled, which is totally OK for me.

Many Thanks for your answer!
Stefan

PS: I see you are located in Germany .... maybe we can talk per mail in german?

tunetown Hi, I am in progress getting a MIDI Captain MINI 6.

I llready asked in another thread, but got no info about it. Is the following switch settings possible either with the delivered KPP firmware or with an adapted one e.g. this one you programmed?

FS 1-SP: Rig 1 in actual Bank

FS 2-SP: Rig 2 in actual Bank

FS 3-SP: Rig 3 in actual Bank

FS A-SP: Rig 4 in actual Bank

FS B-SP: Rig 5 in actual Bank

FS C-SP: Morphing Activate / Deactivate

FS C-LP: Activate Beat Scanner

SP=Short Press; LP = Long Press

Many thanks

Stefan

Quote from Stefan D

To the MIDI captain specialists: Now where the MIDI Captain mini 6 is again available on amazon, I have a last question before ordering. With the latest software for bidirectional communication (3.6) is the following setup possible with only changes in the settings file and without additional programming? An example would be greate!

FS 1-SP: Rig 1 in actual Bank

FS 2-SP: Rig 2 in actual Bank

FS 3-SP: Rig 3 in actual Bank

FS A-SP: Rig 4 in actual Bank

FS B-SP: Rig 5 in actual Bank

FS C-SP: Morphing Activate / Deactivate

FS C-LP: Activate Beat Scanner

SP=Short Press; LP = Long Press

Thanks

Stefan
