hi,

Is it possible to use a midi controller to select a specific image file

let me explain :
i have a folder with images.  From this folder i want to select a specific file using a midi controller.  I have programmed a knob on the controller to output CC messages with a value between 1 and 20 depending on the position of the knob.
I would like to translate this value to a specific file name so that i can feed this to the 'image' input of the video:still component

Using the core:iterator component i can jump to the next file in the list, but this is not exactly what i need  :-(

All ideas are welcome!

Grtz
Thijs

Hi,

Check out the array-map custom component - should be under the core custom section if you've installed custom components. It does close to what you need, although takes a value between 0 and 1 across an array of any size. 

I should rewrite it - could be achieved in a third of that code in v4.

Hope that helps. 

Best wishes, 

Neil
