Increase macro controls to...64 ? At least... :)
Hi,
Ok, Macro controls are massive, but it seems too limited for my needs I'm afraid...
As far as I've understood, if you want to map let's say Ruismaker to a midi controller, you have to select an AUx parameter between the 16 that BM3 can handle (fine for me) , then you assign it to a macro control, then you map the macro to your midi controller. Right ?
I wonder because selecting instruments directly is not a problem, it's assigned with the notes on the midi controller.
But the CC's are not. Right ??
I kind of expected that even with a fix CC into Ruismaker related to BM3, I would have been able to control it directly as the midi controller is well connected as he's sending notes to the instruments...
Am I missing something ?
If it's the normal workflow of BM3, 16 macros are really too few...
I could "live" with 64 macros in that case, but to have some spare, I'd love to have 128...or maybe 96...
Thanks for your comments

A workaround : just use the IAA versions.
I don't need/want multiple instances of the same AUx, it's really about fully controlling them real time...And 16 macro controls is too few to control more than 2 synths properly...
But I'm not sure I can record automation in that case...Well, should be...
Ok it works fine !![:) :)](https://intua.net/forums/resources/emoji/smile.png)

Just something weird, if you record automation, it's recorded but not seen anywhere ! It "stick" to the instrument...
If you define the controller into BM3, then you can draw it...
But as there's an undo button, you can manage...
support midi learn for any parameter
+1 again.

Yep
I personally don't mind using macro controls.
If it's stable, and works fine with 16, why not not making a full midi learn stuff that could be a pain to maintain/develop/debug , and "simply" increase number of macros ?
Seems to me it "just" requires a panel a bit better organized in settings (128 macro controls with all other midi assignable parameters, that's a very long list...so just tabs to check them) ad a scroll on the AU knob settings, and increase the number of macro's...
I guess it should impact the weight of automation on patterns (listening to 128 macro's everywhere ?) but is it not as CPU consuming as a full midi learn support ?
That would make the job exactly as we (or at least I) want.
@mathieugarcia ?
Because global MIDI learn is vastly superior and also the standard way to do things, if i want 129 MIDI assignments, 128 macros doesn't help then, never mind 300 assignments etc etc.![;) ;)](https://intua.net/forums/resources/emoji/wink.png)
Also nobody except the developers know what is easier to design/maintain/debug or if indeed anything uses more CPU
That being said, yes more macros please, personally i think they should be added as needed by the user in pages of eight ala Maschine, rather than having a maximum number.
But one feature (macros) does not replace another (global MIDI assign) and never should.
Couldn’t agree more with @5pinlink’s opinions here.

@5pinlink just giving my thoughts as a "noob" angle, might help opening discussion or rethink about something that has been forgotten at some point.![:) :)](https://intua.net/forums/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Also just to let know to the devs we respect their work and we want also trying to help our way...
Nothing has been forgotten, trust me, @mathieugarcia is a cool calculated code assasin, everything will get done, i have zero doubt of that![;) ;)](https://intua.net/forums/resources/emoji/wink.png)
