Automatic action after delay?

MIDI Control
1

I created an Undo action for CB Blooper, triggered by a Double Tap.

At the same time I’d like to see an “Undo” message for one second or whatever, so I let the Double Tap also set the Shift state, label the Shift position with “Undo”… add a Delay Message… and after that I’d like to Unshift, but that doesn’t work.

The Unshift action should happen automatically after the set Delay, but there’s no “Automatic” action type?

Hi,

use the action type you want the message to be triggered by.

For example:

Press/pc 1

Press/delay

Press/Cc

If you perform a press action the MC sends a pc and after the specified delay time the cc message.

Hi,

thanks, that’s what I do, but it doesn’t work.

  • Action: Double Tap → Set Toggle: Shift
  • Action: Double Tap → Delay 1000ms
  • Action: Double Tap → Set Toggle: Unshift (or Dis-Engage)

It always stays in the Shift state (until the next button press), so the message after the Delay is not executed.

Ok,

maybe it helps if you set the position of msg 2 and 3 to shift?

I think changeing the position might be the issue.

If it doesn’t work, consider to use ‘rename preset’ instead of shift.

Thanks. I tried that already. It doesn’t make a difference. So is this a bug?

I’ll take a look at “rename preset”…

No, Preset Rename doesn’t solve the problem either. It works, but only the first time, not resetting the name after a Delay, so I think the Delay is the main problem here.

Okay, I solved it. You have to separate renaming and reverting to the original name in separate cycles:

  • Double Tap: Preset Rename (temporary name)
  • Double Tap Release: Delay
  • Double Tap Release: Preset Rename (revert to original name)
