Happy holidays and new year to all!
I'm completely new to midi and am trying to get the blueboard foot controller to control basic functions in auria. I successfully followed instructions on another thread to toggle mute, but really need some simple commands to record/play/stop/re-record, so that I can punch in parts and overdub, etc using the foot controller exclusively.
I've given a shot at trying to figure this out, but I clearly have a long way to go. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jon

Hi jro, From memory, Auria will respond to MIDI start/stop commands, so assuming the BlueBoard is setup in controller mode with the buttons mapped to controllers 0 to 3 (the default I think), these rules in the Stream Byter would do it: (button A = start, button B = continue and button C = stop) # BB to start/cont/stop B1-F = XX +B B0 00 7F = FA B0 01 7F = FB B0 02 7F = FC The record button would be HUI controllable, so you have to use similar rules to the mute technique you have already found. I don't know the HUI incantation for that. I'd need to hookup up a HUI and reverse engineer it like I did for mute/solo. I can do this some time over the next few days and update this thread. In the meantime, try out the rules above and see if they work at all and let me know. If they don't I can kill two birds with one stone and figure those out also when I embark on the reverse engineering task. Regards, Nic. |

Thanks so much for the prompt response Nic. I'll try the rules and let you know if I have any issue asap. Thanks again! Jon

Hi Nic:
Unfortunately, no luck with these rules. I repeated the process with the toggle mute rules to make sure I did everything else correctly, and that still worked perfectly.
Thanks! Jon

I will look into it for you. You need to also have correct setup in Auria. Leave it with me and I will get back to you on both counts. Will be a few days until I can do it though.
Regards, Nic.

I just purchased midi bridge to use with BlueBoardauri and auria. Any tricks there would be a real help. Also, will there be a more comprehensive guide to scripting with stream byter?

Hi freddytwonotes, There is on online guide to the Stream Byter here which would get you started. The built-in guide in the app is the definitive definition of the Stream Byter capabilities+syntax. Loads of posts on the board here with tips 'n' tricks and if there is something specific you would like to do, please feel free to create a thread here for it. Regards, Nic. |

Hi jro, OK, I managed to setup to monitor the HUI stuff for the transport buttons. Here is how to map the switches to Auria functions. You use the same technique/setup that you have already employed for mute. I am going to number the transport buttons (these numbers are used in the rules) in Auria as follows: 1. << 2. >> 3. stop 4. play 5. rec The blueboard only has 4 buttons so I am going to live without '>>' and map button 1 to <<, 2 to play, 4 to stop and 4 to record. Here are the rules: # BlueBoard>Auria Transport
X1-F = XX +B
B0 = 90 00 7F +C # ping
B0 00-03 7F = XX 0F 0E +C +D50 # preamble
B0 00 7F = XX 2F 41 +C +D50 # b1 = << dn
B0 00 00 = XX 2F 01 +C +D70 # b1 = << up
B0 01 7F = XX 2F 44 +C +D50 # b2 = play dn
B0 01 00 = XX 2F 04 +C +D70 # b2 = play up
B0 02 7F = XX 2F 43 +C +D50 # b2 = stop dn
B0 02 00 = XX 2F 03 +C +D70 # b2 = stop up
B0 03 7F = XX 2F 45 +C +D50 # b2 = rec dn
B0 03 00 = XX 2F 05 +C +D70 # b2 = rec up
B0 00-0E = XX +B # block BlueBoardThe numbers in bold/red correspond to that first list of commands, so if you prefer a different order or set then those are the ones you modify. You need a pair of rules (button down and button up) for each button. NB the rules above are not compatible with the mute rules. If you want to use the mute rules and transport rules in one scene let me know how you want the BlueBoard buttons mapped and I will produce a combined (non conflicting) set. Regards, Nic. |

Thank you Nic - happy new year! One question: I'm recording through a Scarlett interface. Will that change where the green line goes (ie Scarlett to Midibridge) when I'm tracking? Thanks again! Jro's

Hi jro, No need since the BlueBoard shows up as a separate virtual port so you would see both the BlueBoard and Scarlett in MidiBridge. You are probably best leaving the green line between BlueBoard and MidiBridge and selecting MidiBridge as the 'Remote' MIDI input in Auria. Regards, Nic. |

Hi Nick,
Great stuff!
I would like to create a flexible setup. Is it possible to control the subgroup faders and mute switches in Auria from BlueBoard?
Thanks,
Fred

Hi freddytwonotes, Unfortunately the subgroups in Auria are located differently depending upon the number of audio tracks, so it is next to impossible with simple event tranformations like the Stream Byter which has no concept of state. More info hereRegards, Nic. |

Hi NIc,
Thank you again for the transport script, however, I was not able to get the bb buttons to work on unlatch, so the command sends when depressed and the bb button lights but when the button is pressed a second time, the command is not sent. The mute script works useing both latch and unlatch to on/off the mute. What is stopping this from functioning.
I wanted to alter your script to use the play button for both start and stop. Also, This config would be best served by utilizing the four cue points in Auria and useing two buttons for last and next cue point if this is possible.
(a=prev cue, b=next cue, c=(on=play, off=stop), c=rec)
Workflow could be much improved with this.
Also, do you plan to add conditional statements to this module.
Kind regards,
Fred

Hi freddytwonotes, Let me pull out my BlueBoard to look at latching issue and also I'll see if it is possible to control Auria cue points. I will try and do this tomorrow and get back to you. Regards, Nic. |
