MIDI Fighter Instant Gratifcation mapping

[mistertuckshop]

I'm trying to copy one feature of the new midi fighter mapping onto my Akai MPK Mini - it's the super combo one in the video. I've got the beatmasher bit already, I just want the transpose function - I currently have my button mapped to do the following:

- Select effect Transpose Stretch
- Button>Direct - set value to 1.000
- Button>Dec - coarse, auto repeat
- Turn effect on - hold

However, there seems to be a delay between pressing the button and it starting to wind down the sound (decreasing the effect parameter). I'm guessing this is because I'm telling it to set the value to 1.000 and also telling it to decrease, but there doesn't seem to be the same delay in the video. Any ideas?

what's the default starting point on the transpose? is it all way up or down?

if all way up as default then maybe try replacing the 1.000 direct for amout to 'reset' and invert on. will reset the effect after you release the button and shouldn't have the same delay.

No, there's still a delay there. It seems to be a delay of one beat...

[BradCee]

it's the effect select function... you'll have to remove that and have it selected before launching

Nope, still a delay of 1 beat before it actually starts decreasing. This is odd.

any chance youd wanna upload what you got already so i could take a go at playing with it/trying to figure it out first hand rather than guessing what the problem might be?

my book has a working solution for this mapping
its called MIDI Mapping for Bums

anything else mapped to that button? or just those commands?

i guess its the "auto repeat", if a button has "auto repeat" and you'll press it, it decrease, wait a moment, and then decreasing...

i'm using an auto repeat for a a few things and don't get that much of a delay...

might be hardware specific rather than software and way buttons interact and internal firmwares work...
