MIDI pitch bend and mod wheel?

[Ryan Shea]

It doesn't seem that there's any way to map these.

This would also be really nice by allowing us to map the Push 2 touch strip, which sends pitch bend.

Hi,

You're right. These midi messages aren't supported yet. I'm adding this on the todo list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi everyone. I am in the process of "automating my light show" and was hoping to have the Lightjams Music Player run as minimised under Windows. Lightjams has this as an option but i cannot find a way to do it for the Music Player. I have created a Windows shortcut and tried to run it as minimised but no luck. I have even used some of the Windows .bat options but again no luck. Has anyone done this successfully? Thanks Howard

Hi,

You may want to create a new thread next time ;)

I have poked around with this in the past and have not succeeded using --minimize or batch file options. I did manage to make it work in Windows 10 using a simple powershell script. It's not elegant, but it works every time for me. You will most likely have to enable PowerShell Execution Policy for it to work. Link on how-to.

Add this to a text file and rename it to name.ps1

start "C:\Program Files\LJ\Lightjams Music Player\Espera.exe"
$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.AppActivate('*Espera')
Sleep 5
$wshell.SendKeys('(%(" "(n)))')

You must change the path to match your setup, and you can tweak the sleep value. Basically it starts the Music Player, then uses SendKeys to send ALT+Space then 'n' key, which is the keyboard shortcut to minimize a program.

The last step is to create a .bat file that will execute the script with:

start "" powershell.exe "C:\Users\path to file\name.ps1"

and place the .bat file in your startup folder.

Hope this helps

In the meantime, for those that come across this, I'm using MIDI Monster to map the pitch bend to a CC message. I also use loopMIDI to create a virtual port to bridge MM to LJ.

Here's my config (for an AKAI MPK249). I'm only mapping channels 0-2, but you can change that to your needs.

[winmidi mpk]

read = MPK249

[winmidi mpk_out]

write = MM_MPK249

[map]

; MPK249

; 1:1 all notes

mpk.ch{0..2}.note{0..127} > mpk_out.ch{0..2}.note{0..127}

mpk.ch{0..2}.pressure{0..127} > mpk_out.ch{0..2}.pressure{0..127}

mpk.ch{0..2}.aftertouch > mpk_out.ch{0..2}.aftertouch

; 1:1 all CC except last

mpk.ch{0..2}.cc{0..126} > mpk_out.ch{0..2}.cc{0..126}

; Pitchbend to cc127 on all channels

mpk.ch0.pitch > mpk_out.ch{0..2}.cc127
