Getting Console 1 Fader to work with Soundflow/PT
Hi there!
I own a Console 1 + Console 1 Fader, and I've been thinking about running Console 1 + Fader in a mixing setup in PT (the way it's integrated in say Studio One, which is to say, nigh on completely).
I have the HUI set up in PT, BUT the Fader doesn't send MIDI CC info (for some godforsaken reason; I'm guessing Softube doesn't want it to be used as a generic controller).
I'm presently going down a Midi Converting rabbit hole, and through Midi Monitor I found out that Console 1 Fader exclusively sends Sysex messages.
I know it's not the main focus of this forum, but does anybody know of a way to Convert MIDI Sysex -> MIDI CC ?
Bome MIDI Translator Pro seems to be able to do it, but if at all possible (and in theory it seems to be) I'd rather not spend 70 bucks on what seems to be a relatively basic (if highly specialized) code requirement. (Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about coding myself.) Currently trying out the free MidiPipe, not having any luck yet.
If anyone's figured this out, you'd be an absolute hero to let us know!
Cheers!
Stijn
PS: I'm running PT2019.6 on Mojave on a tricked-out Mac Pro 5.1 (yes, an old cheesegrater).
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-12-01 08:58:55.682ZTry adding a MIDI trigger to a script (with your fader selected as the source) and add this code:
log(event.trigger.midiBytes);This will tell you if a SF script can receive the sysex messages that are sent from the device.
If it does receive it, then the next step would be to figure out the format and parse those messages.
If it does not receive it, SF wouldn't be able to help.So figuring this out would be the first step.

@Stijn_van_Rijsbergen, did you ever figure anything out? I've got a Console 1 Fader that I'd love to use but it just doesn't integrate with PT well enough to make it worth the extra trouble right now. Wondering if there's some work around with SF.
