Make a button appear by MIDI command

📁 Original board: Chameleon › Troubleshooting, tips and tricks

I have a requirement to have a 'RECORDING' label appear on screen when a certain MIDI CC is received. Is there any way to modify the behaviour or appearance of a Chameleon button to make this possible?

So I mean that the button is invisible until the MIDI IN CC is received, when it then appears.

Right now a feature like this not is available, anyway, I can add a feature as a option any object dissapear when recieve MIDI value 0, CC or Note.
Any value over 0 object be visible. This works for you and your plans?
This will be available for objects capable of send MIDI, not for obejcts wont support MIDI. Ok?
Maybe text can be a exception....

Hi, thanks for getting back so quickly.

You idea is good. Please think about the implementation so that:

State 1

Button is not visible

State 2

Button is visible

So it must be possible to switch between State 1 and State 2 using incoming MIDI value.

So perhaps:

MIDI value 127, button is visible

MIDI value 0, button is not visible

Yes it is fine for me that only objects capable of send/receive MIDI commands can work this way.

OFF will be defined by MIDI IN midi off, as usual.

Is this correct?

MIDI IN

'On' set to value 0 means button is on but not visible

'On' set to any other value 1-127 means button is on and visible

'Off' set to value 0 means button is off but not visible

'Off' set to any other value 1-127 means button is off and visible

PabloMartin

In simple words, any value is ON will be on any value off will be off if enable hide when off.

Okay that works for me!
