MIDI Panic Message

Hello, i’m wondering if there is a way via CC message to trigger the MIDI Hub “Button Hold” MIDI panic/reset all controllers?

Its hard during a show to access the button, so i’m wondering if theres a clean way to do it via CC. Thank you!

hey @choponster01

if you hook up your MH to itself as a test, you’'l see the send controller reset messages option just does this


(note the 1ms gap between the messages)

So it’s a matter of

  1. deciding what trigger message you’re going to send in from, say, a foot pedal,
  2. designing a method to create the Ch.X CC#121 messages from that message
  3. routing to the desired out-ports

There are several ways to do part two;

  • using Transform you likely know;

  • CC Table is the neatest, but

  • One-Shot Depth 8 Saw LFO, (rescaled to give values 0, 8, 16, …) then Transform {Set Channel to = Value}

  • or 1ms Note Delay (Pitch Shift = +8) then Transform
    would also work

I’ve not used any of these, but I might be tempted by one of the last two cos I expect the panic button controller reset via button was deliberately designed to not send all 16 messages in the same instant.


PS.
The LFO method looks like this

(this demo is buried at the bottom of a long preset I’m working on so I haven’t uploaded it: lemme know if you get stuck)

It’s fine to produce all the CCs at once.

CC 121 is the “Reset All Controllers” message. CC 123 may be of interest too - it’s the All Notes Off message.
