Hi. I want to convert a pad bank over to knobs on my MIDI Fighter
The bank is Stems+FX,and I want to do pads 5 to 8
Obviously, the knobs can be used to adjust FX parameters, rather than an 'On' 'Off' pad, but I can't figure out how to do it.

The pad FX are:
padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:vocal"
padfx "Reverb" 80% "stemfx:vocal"
padfx "Beat Grid" "stemfx:MeloRhythm"
padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:MeloRhythm"

This is probably simple to do, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I can't fathom what you mean from that post.

I apologize if I wasn't clear. The MIDI Fighter is a knob controller I use that sends MIDI. I want to assign some controls to the MIDI Fighter knob controller from a pad bank I downloaded called Stems+fx. Using knob encoders gives control over stem volume and FX balance, rather than pushing an on/off pad button.

For example, from the pad button: "padfx "Reverb" 80% "stemfx:vocal" "
I'd like to map this to a knob encoder and have the encoder increase the reverb amount on just the vocals as I turn it.
Another example: "padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:vocal""
I'd like to map this to an encoder so the vocal stem echoes out, but have the encoder increase the beat of the echo as I turn in.
Make sense?
Thus far, I have not been able to figure out how to make this work. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong.
 
Try this:
param_bigger 50% ? padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:vocal" on : padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:vocal" off
If the knobs are linear (go from 0 to 100%) the code above should work and the padfx would toggle at the middle position.

However, if the knobs are actually encoders (send +/-1) then you should use this instead:
param_bigger 0 ? padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:vocal" on : padfx "echo out" 80% 1bt "stemfx:vocal" off where turning clockwise would turn the fx on, and turning counter clockwise would turn it off
 
I read that a bit different

For the push button part of the encoder I'd do this
padfx 'reverb' 'stemfx:vocal'

then the dial part being
effect_slider vocals 'reverb' 1

press the button part of the dial to turn on/off
use the dial to control the strength,

echo out
button
padfx 'echo out' 1bt 'stemfx:vocal'
dial
effect_slider vocals 'echo out' 1
 
Very helpful! Thank you!

Two questions:
I'm using the button on an encoder to engage the beatgrid on the 'meloRhythm' stem. Can I turn the encoder to cycle through different beatgrids?

Also, for some reason,
"effect_slider vocals 'echo out' 1" works to adjust the strength of the echo, but "effect_slider MeloRhythm 'echo out' 1" does not. Any ideas on that?

Thanks!
 
2 in place of 'MeloRhythm' use 'instrumental'
effect_slider instrumental 'echo out' 1

@devs should an alias be sorted out for this?

1, presets are slider 1 position, if encoder do this, if 0.0-1.0 dial just control the dial
param_bigger 0 ? effect_slider instrumental 'beat grid' 1 1.0 ? effect_slider instrumental 'beat grid' 1 0.0 : effect_slider instrumental 'beat grid' 1 +0.143 : effect_slider instrumental 'beat grid' 1 0.0 ? effect_slider instrumental 'beat grid' 1 1.0 : effect_slider instrumental 'beat grid' 1 -0.143

*Edit, got my params in the wrong order *fixed
