Remote Control Sporadically Works, and Other Questions

[raemike]

I am running Remote Control on an Intel Mac with Sonoma 14.5. Remote Control will send MIDI output about 1 out of 10 times I launch the stand alone. I have never gotten the plugin to work with StudioOne. The standalone started sending MIDI output after the software crashed, as it does daily, and even worked for a few days without error.

I am pretty experienced with MIDI as an operator and I can say this software ain't working. I have too many midi devices working just fine. I Contacted support but only receive sporadic responses and there have been no updates to the software for a few years. I was very hopeful to have finally found a solution to control guitar pedals at my desk that would save me programming time and sad to see this fail.

Assuming there is some magic to make the software work, some pedals I want to control only use midi CC values of 0-10 or 0-100, Remote Control seems to always wants values 0-127 for CC value. Is it possible to limit the upper range of a CC value? I've tried to use the %max but that crashes the software most of the time, though it does work occasionally after the crash.

Any updates are appreciated for the $50.

As already replied in the help desk, "the only way to limit the range is to modify the skin (it is not possible via MIDI). You can do that by adding a zoom attribute to the control (in your case you probably want zoom=12.7)."

Regarding the issue that it may sometimes not send MIDI CC to your external devices, have you made sure that they are all connected and running before launching the app? MIDI devices are scanned upon load, so they should be ready to receive MIDI before launching the Remote Control app.

If you want to send MIDI in Studio One, I believe you need to use the VST2 version (if I remember well Studio One does not support MIDI out from Audio Units, and probably not from VST3 either, unless they have updated their implementation recently). When used as a plug-in, the Remote Control sends MIDI events to the host, so you have to create an extra MIDI track to send the output of the plug-in to external MIDI devices.

Thanks for the pointers, they have been helpful. While I can’t stop crashing, I have figured out how to stabilize and now I’m diving into customizing the skin. Love the ‘zoom’ pointer! When I search the KUIML docs I don’t see where this option is documented, along with options for knobs, buttons or sliders. I’ve copied some skins to get most of what I need, but would like to see all available options for a knob, slider or button. Where did I miss this in the docs?

All parameter control widgets are listed here in the KUIML doc:

If you click on any of them you will see a list of attributes (many are common to all of them, so you may want to follow the " Attributes Common to Param Controls" links.

I hope this helps.
