New option in MegaDrum firmware and MDM

[dmitri]

I added a new configuration option in the latest MegaDrum firmware version (20120911) called TriggeredInCC and added support for it in MDM. When set to Yes and you hit a pad, MegaDrum will send a special MIDI CC message telling exactly which input was triggered. This is used in MDM to quickly switch between inputs configs. I wonder if it's clear enough what this option does?

Welcome back Dmitri
Seems like a good idea. So the cc message is separate from the note on/off?

[dmitri]

Yes, when enabled it sends "0xb0 0x13 0xnn" right after a 'Note On' message where 'nn' is an input's number (or third zone's number if greater than 0x40).

I'm a bit lost with this. Any more info?

[dmitri]

I don't know how to explain it another way. It's really a "MegaDrum->MDM" (and soon "MegaDrum->MDCommander") configuration convenience feature to easily and quickly switch between inputs when in MDM.

My mistake - I thought this was conig change without having to dedicate a pad.
