Output current parameter value over MIDI

[vc027708]

I'm relatively new to the Midi game for controlling my HX Stomp. I've run in to a issue I can't seem to quite figure out. I'm using a WIDI Master and MIDI Designer on my iPad to do some basic control. What I'd like to do is use a slider on MIDI Designer to control the Output Level of a given snapshot. However, controlling the output isn't my problem. What I want to do is send the current output level value over midi to my iPad when I change the snapshot so that I don't have a drastic change when I first touch the slider. For example, if my Output Level is set to 0dB on my snapshot and the value on my slider is already at 120, as soon as I touch the slider, the output level will jump to whatever dB corresponds to a midi value of 120. I know I can send a specific value to my iPad using an Instant command. I just can't figure out how to "Read" the current value into the midi command before sending it. Hopefully this makes sense. 

 

I don't have an expression pedal so I can't control it that way. I'm open to other ideas on how to control this as well.

If MIDI Designer can receive MIDI and assign an incoming CC/Value to that specific slider, then you need to determine the MIDI CC and Value that results in 0db on the slider, then assign an IC to send that CC/Value.

 

EX: Slider CC = X; CC Value Y = 0db; IC1 MIDI CC = X with Value Y

 

EDIT: You might still get a momentary volume spike because MIDI transmission is subject to a small amount of latency. Only way to know is to try it.

Don't use Output Level in the patch. Manipulate it exclusively via MIDI. Done.
