Dear Nic!
I'm using SByter for realize this task
B = A (x)
C = A (y)
A (x , y) = D
with this messages
N0 02 = XX 00 XX +C
N0 01 = XX XX 01 +C
N0 00 01 = XX 04
but it can't work. May be my SB sript can't get N0 00 01 message
I want make something like SHIFT key for optimizing of workspace on my MIDI controller and doubling function of it keys.
Scenes seems useful feature for my task but I want make it simplier.
Can you help me with this plz?

Hi karramba,
Unfortunately the Stream Byter isn't smart enough to merge those two cloned note events (00 and 01) into the one note which is I think what you want. I have been trying to think of a way that you could achieve a shift key with just rules and I just cannot. Doing it with scenes is the only way and it is probably less complicated. Here is what you do step by step to use the lowest C note as a SHIFT key:
1. In Preferences>Option set Scene Channel to 16. I have assumed your controller is set for channel 1.
2. Use the Stream Byter on your controller input, add this rule and press 'Install Rules'
# switch to shift scene when C-2 held
90 00 01-7F = CF 01 +C
3. Go to the Scene Manager and save to Scene 000, call it 'Normal'
4. Go back to the Stream Byter and change the rules to this:
# switch back to normal scene when C-2 released
90 00 00 = CF 00 +C
80 00 = CF 00 +C
# add your mappings or whatever here that you want when
# shift is active
5. Go to Scene Manager and save to Scene 001, call it 'Shift'
Now, when you press low C and hold it down, the scene switches to the 'Shift' scene and any other events will be mapped in the shifted version of the Stream Byter. When you release the C key, the scene switches back to the 'Normal' one. If you don't want the C key just change the rules or you could use a controller also to shift if you prefer.
Hope that helps.
Regards, Nic.

muuuuuuuuch thanx for your attention Nic !
by the way, what mean "90" and "80" in the start of rule strings?
Is it "note on" and "note off" messages on MIDI channel 1 ?
What bytes I must write for channel 2 or 3 or etc ?
Cant understand this from SB manual

90 means note on, midi channel 1
80 means note off, midi channel 1
The first byte is the event type, 9 = note on, 8 = note off, B = controller, C = program change
The second byte is the midi channel (in hex 0 to F), so
91 means note on, midi channel 2
82 means note off, midi channel 3
And to confuse things a little:
9F 00 means note off, channel 16 (because note on, velocity 0 means note off)
8F also means note off, channel 16
Regards, Nic.
