Can an expert tell me if there is anything essentially wrong with this script, to achieve midi-note output via roll. You may say, run it and try it; but i tried something similar and crashed glovepie.

var.note=MapRange(Wiimote.Roll, -90, 90, 0, 127)/127

if var.note=>100 then
midi.C3 = true
else midi.C3=false
endif

if var.note=MapRange>80 then
midi.C3=false
else midi.D3=false
endif

if var.note=MapRange>60 then
midi.E3=true
else midi.E3=false
endif
//etc etc

I'm guessing this is what you were trying to do?

[jjcomet]

No, i've tried many variations of that same idea, and what happens is multiple notes trigger all the time; i know for a fact there is otherwise nothing wrong with my current setup, as midi notes can be triggered via buttons, and midi cc#s can be sent via pitch/roll. aaaaaargh, it's so frustrating having software this powerful and flexible, that won't work because of my inexpert scripting syntax

thanks anyway

Oh damn, I can't believe I didn't see that. I haven't messed with any of the midi stuff so I guess I must've just looked around it. What about something like this?

[jjcomet]

Hi, and thanks again for the input
sadly this didn't work either;
my first attempt caused notes to trigger continuously, this last attempt (your suggestion) caused no midi-output? wtf?
Getting notes out via buttons is easy:
midi.C3=Wiimote.A
midi.D3=Wiimote.B
etc
What i'm looking for is a way to 'chop up' the vertical axis into, say, 12 zones, with each one triggering a single preset midi note. Can you tell me what you use glovepie/wiimote for and i might be able to tweak one of your scripts to do what i need'
thanks again, preeshiate it

Almost got it!!
all i need is the correct syntax to specify greater than AND less than, within one 'if' statement; this is what i've got:

var.note = MapRange (Wiimote.SmoothPitch -90, 90, 0, 100)

//I removed the 'divide by 127' outside the bracket,
//to create a range of 0-100, from pointing up to pointing down
//and created 4 'sectors' 0-25; 26-50; 51-75; 76-100

if var.note <=25 then
midi.C3=true
else midi.C3=false
endif
wait 500ms //this works fine

if var.note = //this is the problem; i want to specify >25 and <75
//at the same time; how do i type this? Also, what happens if you put
//wait inside an if statement; with wait outside the if statement, they're all gonna add up and slow things down..........

almost there
