Add MIDI input messages for the 4 main footswitches.
Current MIDI implementation has unique MIDI values for many many functions which is nice in many ways and super flexible… BUT I simply want a remote version of the footswitches. I’m using an AIRSTEP midi controller with 5 footswitches. There is no way to simply map the footswitches my controller to the 4 footswitches on the Aeros. I can map specific functions but the footswitch functions are very context dependent so doesn’t come close to replicating their functionality.
This would be nice, and I’ve seen it requested before a few times in comments. You’d need separate messages for short and long presses, because MIDI messages are ‘momentary’ or durationless. The Airstep could handle this though because it can send different messages depending on press duration.
Thanks, yes agreed! It could also be based on press and release messages. Set the midi controller to send value 127 when pressed and 0 when released. Aeros then can assume if it receives 127 and not 0 within X seconds, it’s a long press.
