HOW TO convert Bento Box LFO output to MIDI CC data and verify it

Hello everyone,

I am coming to Reaktor 6 from a MAX / MSP background, and am trying to achieve the following:

Use the Bento Box LFO to output MIDI CC data to control a parameter of Monark. I would also like the LFO waveform to reset when a specific key on a MIDI controller is pressed.

I have read that multiplying the LFO by 0.5 and then adding 0.5 converts it's output to 0 - 127.

I would like to add an object at the output of the LFO to verify that the numerical output of the LFO has indeed converted to 0 - 127. I know in MAX / MSP you can add a number float to receive a visual representation.

Could anyone offer any advice on how I can achieve the abov

Sounds like you are just converting bipolar values to unipolar with the above process (from -1-1 to 0-1) - you'd need to multiply the result again by 127 to complete the process. Panel → Numeric Readout should provide visual feedback.

You should just be able to reset the LFO by feeding it whatever gate signal you like

It's not clear that for your purposes you need to convert to MIDI CC per se, though it could be helpful to have 0-127 depending on the parameter you want to control. Modules within Reaktor can be interfaced directly, so adding the extra conversion layer is probably only going to lower your resolution. The MIDI controller input is a separate issue that needs to be addressed pre-Blocks.

See if you can use this structure to reset the LFO with CC# 63, then either feed it out to #64 or whatever internal Reaktor module you like. You can set the LFO to unipolar so there's actually no need to convert the polarity, just multiply by whatever scale is needed.
