Default Icon p1-m - show track colors

Hi Moss,

I have an icon p1-m. Do you know if there is a way for it to display track colors (like the behringer x-touch)?

Thanks for the great software btw 😊

Cheers
Matt

Thanks for reporting this! That actually helps me quite a lot since I am currently looking into their new V1-M and was wondering about this issue!
I fixed the behaviour of the clip flag. Their implementation is actually not correct and it seems we need an option for that...

That's a Reaper problem. The signalling of the Save state is not always correct.

Support for the V1-M is coming soon. I hope that it is the same for the smaller models but will confirm.

Glad I could assist in some small way :-)

I'm not sure I understand that, as moving the master fader with a mouse in the app always causes the 'save " button to illuminate -- but not when I physically move the master fader on the QCon surface..

Moss, is there no way at all to expand the plugin parameters assignment across MCU+ 1 or 2 Extender units? It would be amazing if I could use all 24 of my rotary encoders on one plugin; as it stands now 8 rotary controls is just about useless in terms of speedy 'analog' style workflow with a channelstrip or indeed, most single function plugins.

That's what I mean. Reaper does not always report the state correctly via the API.

There is always a way :-) It is on my TODO list to look into this but way down...

Thank you Moss for this incredible work. For the x-touch now is the just best way to use with Reaper.

I wonder if there is a way to change that the default mode is Panorama. The 90% use case for producing and mixing is related to volume adjustment. In another hand panorama is used less.
I've found myself a lot of times changing by mistake the panorama of tracks.

In any case, thanks again for your work!!

Sorry, don't get this. Why do you not use the faders to adjust the volume?

Every time that reapers start, the xtouch initializes in Panorama mode, so the faders adjust the pan instead of volume. To use faders to adjust volume you need to manually set Volume mode every time you open reaper.

¿You think It could be possible to make a startup action in reaper to send the "Volume mode" in every time reaper is launched?

I also want to try the last driver version but since yesterday I'm having problems to reach www.mossgrabers.de website

Sounds like you've got flip enabled (Is the [Flip] button lit above the main fader)?
That setting is what the v-pots are assigned to, not the faders.

Seems my DNS provider is down (they created a swimming pool in their computing centre).
For the time being you can reach the server directly: https://92.205.106.63 (you have to ignore the SSL warning).

thank you for the answer. It was somehow related.
Flip was activated by default always. I found that this behaviour was because of configuration of the driver. I've found this option: "Use faders like editing knobs". It was set to yes. Changing to no Flip is not activated anymore by default.

Even with the previous change, the x-touch keeps initializing in "Panorama mode", but at least touching the faders now adjusts volume instead of pan.

The only problem now that keeps doing the initialization in "panorama mode", is that the display shows by default the pan instead of dB volume.... but...well.. I can live with this.

Thank you! I just installed the last version using that IP address.

DrivenByMoss 23.2 is out!

Get it from https://mossgrabers.de (since my DNS provider is still down, you can reach the server directly: https://92.205.106.63 (you have to ignore the SSL warning)).
  • MCU
    • New: Added support for iCON V1-M (display RGB colors, 2nd display)
    • New: Send VU updates only if necessary.
    • Fixed: VU meters did not work anymore on iCON devices.



Enjoy!

Oh wow ! This looks awesome. Thinking about ditching all the big companies (Presonus, Softube, SSL) and switching over to Reaper and Icon.

Thanks Moss, I will keep hope alive!

Also, love your latest video reviewing the ICON V1-M. Question: how noisy/smooth are the faders compared to the rather clackety X-touch?

Thanks for this update. However, now my observation is that the full bank of LEDS on each channel flash on and off, depending on whether or not signal is present.. strange...

Default xtouch on reaper x86 on arm with rosetta.

hello. I've been using my x-touch with Reaper using the standard MCU protocol but missing some functionalities so I wanted to try drivenbymoss.

I'm on an arm m1 but the only download that worked for me was the x86 one since I'm using Reaper x86 via rosetta because of some old intel plugins i have.

I managed to access the configuration options and choose the x-touch profile (when selected, the option won't stay marked as selected, even though it does change the parameters bellow).
the jog well, transport buttons worked, (though without lights) and I am also able to move the faders which are reflected in Reaper, though my xtouch faders go back to zero after a couple of secs. no leds on the fader displays or on the xtouch display.
I have followed the manual, so no midi ports activated. my xtouch is configured as MCU - USB operational mode and has the latest firmware.

no idea what I am doing wrong. any ideas?

Sounds like you selected the wrong output port?!

I have two CoreMIDI4j x-touch INT options and another two called CoreMIDI4j x-touch EXT.
for midi input 1 I had to choose X-touch INT and for Midi Output 1 also X-touch INT. weird.
but now it works!

thank you. what a wonderful work this is!

I wonder if this is just me but I have problems with markers using drivenbymoss with my x-touch.

only the markers with names are recognized by the marker option, when I make a marker, a number id (wichout a name) is automatically assigned to my markers (which is the way I like it) however it won't appear in the x-touch display unless I put a name on it.
another strange behavior is that playing with the marker option I realized I could move from marker to marker (an option that I use alot in my keyboard) if I pressed the channel buttons, however this only works with two of my named markers, the other dozens are not recognized. no idea why.

a side comment, I miss using the x-touch wheel to scrub audio.

thanks!
