Mapping something (e.g. loop size/out) to jog wheel

I don't know the specific midi desgnation of the midi out signals, but otherwise yes, beat 1 will put the first toggle ON and the rest to OFF, etc.

Do you mind showing the link as text (leaving out https:)?

Well, it looks like it will be easiest if insert the relevant code for a separate beat counter into the D2 controller basic file instead of trying to extract the relevant beat number from the Moonbeam screen code (which tries to catch a variation of possible maximum numbers).

Either way i do it, both D2s are going to send the masterbeat count in parallel, but that should not cause any problems.

I'll start inserting the code and then send you the file as soon as i find the peace of mind to concentrate on not making syntax errors. :)

I can only write the beat counter into the qml files of an existing device, which must be connected and running. But i can place it into both files, D2 and S4MK3.

Only the device qml files and parts of the collection and settings are accessible. The rest is compiled machine code.

Parallel in this case is not a problem. Both D2's will monitor the (single) master deck beats and MIDI output the same signal at the same time.

I am not sure i understand. Are you saying the delay is exactly 1 beat? Either way, i already have a 10ms inverted delay in my code (MIDI signal will trigger 10ms before the actual beat). I will plug in a variable that you can manually adjust to whatever you want the delay value to be.

All right, here is my solution. Try it out and tell me if you have any trouble:

Installation:

Replace the following two files in your Moonbeam mod.

• ...\Resources64\qml\CSI\D2\D2.qml
• ...\Resources64\qml\CSI\S4MK3\S4MK3.qml

There are two example mapping files you can import in Preferences➔Controller Manager:

• D2 MIDI TEST.tsi: This D2 mapping file will pick up the MIDIButton signals and lets the 8 pads of your D2 light up; just for testing. You don't need this file at all. If you use it for testing, deactivate the original D2 mapping file and don't run both at the same time.
• generic MIDI BEATS.tsi: This is a generic MIDI mapping file containing the 8 MIDIButtons. You have to set the OUT port and assign your custom channel and CC values yourself. This is what your lightshow will need.

More details; This is what i added to both D2 (line 534) and S4MK3 (line 75) files:

This is the line in the code where you can change the delay value. Change it in both files to the same value:

// enter a custom delay value in ms; can be negative
readonly property real beatDelay: 10

I hope this is going to be helpful to you. If it's to your liking, consider buying me a coffee. If there is anything you would like to have changed with this mod (fewer beats, half beats, etc.), let me know. 🦋

Edit: Updated button assignments in the code.
