Hi, I am using Cantabile Performer. It is working great and I love the extensive mapping. No matter how many options you give us though we always want more!
I just acquired a Cicada PageFlip bluetooth pedal for turning music pages in my notation software (Music Reader).I was wondering if I could use this for another purpose. It would be a great switch to control the Rotary Speed in my VB3 Hammond Organ VST.
It can send to the computer arrow up/down, arrow left/right, page up/down, left/right mouse click and a couple of other common keyboard type commands.
If I could map these to either CC commands or notes via Cantabile it would be a wonderful thing.
Is this possible?? If not please consider it for a future wishlist. It could also be used as a damper pedal for piano etc.
Thanks,
LooseBruce

Hi,
to start with the bad news: I don't really have a solution for your problem. I did some experiments on this and what I got managed was to map some of the keys of the computer keyboard to the rotary speed of the VB3:
For this I took the onboard-keyboard as source in a MIDI routing dialog for a MIDI-filter of the type "Note To Controller Assignment". Here I selected the keyrange from C3 to D3 and mapped it to CC01. Then I added a "Suppress Events" filter after it and deleted note events. The output was mapped to the rack my VB3 was placed.
The result is I'm able to select the speed controller by 3 keys: y=slow, s=stop, x=fast.
Also it is not a solution for your problem it could probably help if the hardware controller you use has a possibility to map buttons to keys.
kind regards, humphrey

Thank you Humphrey for your investigation. It is very helpful to me.I've had to take a break from figuring this out but I will certainly try to duplicate what you have done as a starting point.I appreciate your input very much.My footswitch has no other mapping except that it can send the PC keys that I mentioned before. In fact you have to select one pair of characters.
Thanks again,
