Message Generators - reaper-csi/reaper_csurf_integrator GitHub Wiki
Message Generators allow you to define what MIDI messages the surface sends to CSI:
- Press - a simple generator that sends a single MIDI message on press, and optionally sends another message when released. Often, but not limited to, a button.
- AnyPress - a variation of Press needed for some devices.
- Fader7Bit - sends a MIDI message in a range specifying the current absolute value of the control.
- Fader14Bit - like Fader7Bit, but has a larger (or more fine grained) set of values.
- Encoders - unlike the Faders, an Encoder sends a relative value (increase/decrease)
- MFTEncoder - a special encoder only found on the Midi Fighter Twister controller
The general pattern here is to use the MIDI Monitor to observe what values are sent when your widget is manipulated. So for example, when I press one of the buttons on my controller I see this:
The first line showed up when I pressed, the second one when I let go, so a reasonable assumption is the MIDI Generator in my Widget should be:
Press 90 5d 7f 90 5d 00
That said, please read the section on Press for some guidance/recommendations.
