Than you again for the video! All of this was very useful!

[@6beatz]

Loving these videos! Could we get an example of using a boolean? If hold button is on (true), send local message to fader from a grid of 4 static values. If hold button is off (false), the grid sends the midi message but not the local message to the fader. The fader locks to 1 of 4 values from the 4 button grid, if the hold button is turned on. Kind of like making your own choice of toggle or momentary with a button. Easy way I thought is to make the appropriate one "visible" or not depending if the hold button is on/off. One is linked to the faders with local message and one isn't.

Is there a possibility to make the label red when at 0 and green at 127 ? So far I managed to make it go violet with different borders when superior to 0 ... Thx

[@TimCorpus]

I think you just have to fiddle with the color scheme for what you're working with (for example adding blue to red gets purple). Also you can change your scale from 1 to 0 or vice versa.

Great stuff! Is It possible to use different layouts on different devices/monitors simultaneously?

[@TimCorpus]

Not sure exactly what you mean, but if you wanted to send messages to two different computers, yes you can do that. You can specify message connections in the right-side panel.

[@guido8113]

@@TimCorpus I own two touchscreen monitors, both connected to same computer (with Cubase). I would like to use two different documents (layouts), one for each monitor, for example to control the mixer console and a VST simultaneously. :)

[@TimCorpus]

@@guido8113 ah I see. As far as I know, no that's not possible unless maybe you were to make one really long template that stretched across multiple screens.
