MIDI Control Change Toggle

[cchimi1]

I am using an Apogee GIO pedal to send MIDI Control Changes to QLab for various purposes.  Seems to work fine, mostly.

I need to have a single button on the GIO trigger a MIDI cue to send a CC to a TC-Helicon VoiceLive 3 Extreme (VL3X), for two different purposes.

The first is to toggle the vocal harmonies on and off. That requires a simple CC 110, but ON needs a value of 127 and OFF needs 0 (really the split point is above 64, but I'm simplifying it here).  I create the MIDI cue, and set the value to 127, and that works.  But I don't see a way to toggle the value.  is there a way?  I suspect this will require a script of some kind, but although I have some programming background, and can describe what I want to have happen, I don't understand scripting in QLab well enough to write this script.

The second is similar, but involves not just an on/off toggle, but three possibilities.  The VL3X allows each patch to have "steps", which allow for changes to happen at different parts of a song, for example.  I use it to get different guitar sounds.  So far, I've never used more than three steps.  I need one button on the GIO to send CC115 value 0 for Step 1, CC115 value 1 for Step 2, and CC 115 value 2 for Step 3, as I press the button sequentially.  The next press after Step 3 should take me back to Step 1.

Are these thing possible?  Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl

Make a separate cue lst for each of the 2 sequences and use your gio to trigger each cuelist, one button formeach list cuelist.
After the last cue in each list autocontinue to a goto that goes to the top of the list.

It looks like this. (Change the Midi Trigger for the cue lists to whatever your GIO is sending

Well, that was about a thousand times easier than I feared it would be!  A simple and elegant solution, and it works!  And, it points out to me the way I had boxed my thinking in to believing it could only be done by a script.

Thanks a lot, micpool. You saved me on this one.  And freed up three more buttons on the GIO for other things worth doing.
