Can Animoog record x/y pad gestures into external sequencers

[starving moogist]

now that the midi update is out I've installed it but I can't find a way to record x/y pad gestures into my sequencer, does the x/y pad send out midi information?

does anybody have an midi cc chart for animoog??????????????????

I'll see about making a chart. The simple answer is that it receives and sends MIDI notes, velocity, aftertouch, poly pressure, pitch bend, and Mod Wheel... and all other mappable controls can be user-assigned to any CC number.

So, to get Animoog to send x/y gestures as MIDI, you must map the x,y coordinates to a pair of CC numbers:

- Go to Setup page, tap "Map CCs" and you will see each mappable control surrounded by a red box.
- go to X/Y Pad; you will see a red box for X-axis and one for Y-axis. Double-tap to set a CC number for each.
- Go back to Setup page and choose Save Configuration if you want your mapping to persist.
- Tap "Map CCs" again to disable mapping mode.

If you are only recording the MIDI data to play it back to Animoog, then it doesn't matter what CC numbers you assign to the controls, more or less (CC1 is the Mod Wheel CC). Once an Animoog control is mapped to a MIDI CC, moving the on-screen control will send out MIDI CC data, and if Animoog receives those CC messages the mapped controls will respond.

Hello Amos,

A MIDI chart would be very helpful.

Is it true that the mapping is empty by default? If I hit the Map CC#s button without any MIDI input selected then all the red boxes have '--'s in them.

Second, are MIDI mappings included in a .preset file?

I'm asking because while I'm fine with manually doing MIDI CC# learn on every control with my keyboard, I am planning to write a class in ChucK to drive Animoog over network MIDI, and it would be nice to either rely on the default mapping, if one is present, or provide a .preset file with the same mappings used by the ChucK class.

This is my first stab at a ChucK class that drives Animoog over MIDI

In addition to the default mapping question above, I could also use some documentation on where the CC value cutoffs are for parameters like filter type, path mode and thick unison. I'm guessing 64 for binary (e.g. path sync off/on) and 127/n for n>2 (or perhaps that should be 121/n?).

Thanks in advance for your help.
