Here's an abstraction inspired by hamster's recent post (http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-4261-midi-learnable-mixer-channel).

It adds learned MIDI control to your patches. Learned MIDI settings may then be saved in a text file for loading later. You can create as many control objects as you need, and all settings will be saved to a single text file. Works with both control and note MIDI values.

(note, saved settings do not include current control values, just the learned channel and control/note numbers)

It's called bb_learn and can be downloaded here:

Good idea, thanks a lot! I tried to make settings saveable, but only by means of PD Vanilla (I'm a bit afraid of PD Extended yet )

I'm pretty sure that the only pd-extended object in [bb_learn] is [msgfile], in the [pd save] and [pd load] subpatches. It wouldn't be hard to replace this with [textfile] from Pd-Vanilla (I'm just used to using [msgfile] for its more convenient append and insert messages).

Update: bb_learn now works with Pd-Vanilla

Thx your this it will be of great use making a nice midi-controllable sequencer.

Great abstractions and webpage! Thanks, A
