[fixed] Volume.

I have a related question that hopefully won't be a diversion from the original poster's intent...
No matter what combination of options I select, I can't seem to get an endless encoder to control track functions like volume or sends. The Remotify website says that an endless encoder, "works exactly the same as 'Knob' inputs types, the only difference is how it is displayed visually in the MIDI Controller Area." However, I find that a "Knob" or "Slider" work perfectly for volume and sends, while "Endless Encoders" are useless in this department. Can someone please provide detailed settings for how to do it?

Hi guys:

done84: yes you can control volume with a relative encoder. Just make sure that you are using the 'relative' control type and the left/right options are the values which your encoder send when turned. Note the 'step' option here as well, you can decide how many steps it takes to turn the volume all the way up and down.
Relative can be set for an input either in the controller manager or the script manager. Its best to set it correctly in the controller manager, you should only override this in the script manager/mapping if you need to do something funky for that specific mapping.

neil: this is correct, except for the visual display endless encoders should function exactly the same as knobs. I'm assuming you're setting the endless encoder exactly the same as a knob or slider, so its strange that it doesn't work for you.
Has anybody else experienced this issue recently with endless encoders?.

Hi John,
Your answer to done84 made me realize that I might be using the Script Manager (instead of the Controller Manager) to assign settings for my endless encoders. Maybe there are competing settings between the two "Managers" that are causing the problem. I'll check later today. In the meantime, can you shed a bit more light on the "correct" way to assign an endless encoder to something with a fixed range of values, like a volume or send? Relative or Absolute? Increment, On/Off, Steps, etc.? Thanks.

Hi John,
Tonight, I spent a lot more time trying to get the endless encoders to work but was ultimately unsuccessful. I'll probably try a different midi device tomorrow, but I think I'm missing something. The most response that I can get is that the parameter (volume or send) will make a really small movement around the 50% line. I've tried every combination of settings. Everything else works perfectly. Knobs, sliders, pads and buttons are all fine. It's just the endless encoders that aren't working. I'm getting midi signal, it's mapped properly. It must be a setting but I can't figure it out. At this point, any suggestion, even if it's a wild goose chase, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Neil,

Please post a screenshot of your volume mapping in script manager and the endless encoder setting in controller manager.
Which Controller are you using?

Hi John,
I'm using the Behringer LC-1. I won't be able to post a screenshot until later today. As I said though, I tried countless combinations of settings in the Controller Manager and the Script Manager. Accordingly, I'm not sure which one of those unsuccessful settings you want a screen cap of. Wouldn't it make more sense for you to show me a screen cap of the "correct" settings?
Neil

Attached are some screen caps of various options that don't work for me. I also tried all of the "takeover modes," different "step" quantities, both "snapping" options, etc.

John,
I was able to get the encoders working with the settings illustrated in the present attachment. The solution seems weird to me but at least they're working now. The LED feedback, however, is not working. Any ideas? Obviously, I already tried 0=off, 127=on. What you see in the attached screen caps are other variations that I tried without success.

Hi all,

We have fixed the issue with relative encoders. It seems that (as you stated) they wouldn't fire their attached functionality when turned. Installing scripts from now on should work fine for them so need to use increment/decrement.

Thanks
