Re: [Denemo-devel] Midi shortcuts

[Richard Shann]

No, it's just me - Nils understood you and told me on irc #denemo
There are no commands yet to construct MIDI shortcuts (still less
built-in methods), so you have to write a bit of scheme to do it.
The hook for this is in denemo.scm and that was where I placed my bit of
scheme this morning.
This is the sort of thing you can see in denemo.scm

(define Pitchbend::commandUp "(d-CursorRight)")

If you redefined Pitchbend::commandUp to be some other string that would
be executed on the getting the Pitchbend up message from MIDI-in. Only a
few of these control messages have been named in denemo.scm so far.

This itself is a layer over the primitive response to MIDI in's control
messages.
The primitive level is that when a control message is received the
procedure MIDI-shortcut::controller is executed and if the value it
returns is the name of a denemo action this is action is performed.
(Well, I have just trawled through the code to find this out. It needed
writing down somewhere!)
