This is the official help web page

however I personal think it's not that much help at all for any advanced stuff.
I think my Lithium mapping is a very clean mapping, the menu however is a bit more complex as I wanted to give the choice of where to map the controls i.e. most mappings are mapped to the "Ch Knobs" and I wanted to give people the option of mapping to either the knobs above the faders, the faders and the standard Knobs ("Ch Knobs").
I learned the mapping by trial and error, slow and frustrating at times as you think you understand something that works well and then something else just starts to break it !!!
Find a good editor to use, I know that some people use Excel which is good for the layout (funny really as I am an Excel wiz but I don't use it), I use an old program (it has been kept up to date) called vbsedit (
http://www.vbsedit.com/ ) and the main reason I use that is it has code snippets, so I can recall bits of code very quickly, i.e. I have one called "ch knobs" which will produce this in my editor etc
Code: Select all
Map Name Element 1 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 2 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 3 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 4 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 5 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 6 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 7 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Name Element 8 "" Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 1 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 2 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 3 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 4 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 5 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 6 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 7 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Map Ch Knob 8 Name Instrument ch_zabc zpage
Helps produce a skeleton structure quickly and keeps my code quite standard throughout to me.
If you are having issues post and ask questions here..
I know that you have sent me a PM about the "Megasaur Supersaw Snythesizer" however I don't own it and have already tried that so I won't be mapping it (however you could ask the developer of that RE to send me a copy for mapping purposes (they might even have a beta version that I could trial ))..
I know that you are having difficulty with page selection. something like this will work (change the zpageX to zoscX and the zabc to your ch_mode)
Code: Select all
Define Group zpage_vars zpage1 zpage2 zpage3
Map Page Name "OSC 1" Instrument zabc zpage1
Map Page Name "OSC 2" Instrument zabc zpage2
Map Page Name "OSC 3" Instrument zabc zpage3
Map X1_Labeli "<OSC 3" Instrument zabc zpage1
Map X1_Labeli "<OSC 1" Instrument zabc zpage2
Map X1_Labeli "<OSC 2" Instrument zabc zpage3
Map X2_Labeli "OSC 2>" Instrument zabc zpage1
Map X2_Labeli "OSC 3>" Instrument zabc zpage2
Map X2_Labeli "OSC 1>" Instrument zabc zpage3
Map X1 zpage_vars=zpage3 Instrument zabc zpage1
Map X1 zpage_vars=zpage1 Instrument zabc zpage2
Map X1 zpage_vars=zpage2 Instrument zabc zpage3
Map X2 zpage_vars=zpage2 Instrument zabc zpage1
Map X2 zpage_vars=zpage3 Instrument zabc zpage2
Map X2 zpage_vars=zpage1 Instrument zabc zpage3
