ControlP5 Matrix question...

edited February 2014 in Library Questions

Hi all & Happy new year of the Hoss. I am hpoing one of the many, many excellent programmers out there might be able to help me. As part of my Android controlled arduino synth I am using the Controlp5 Matrix object as a sequencer. I have a function that sends MIDI note on messages and note pitches and velocities with every step change. A case statement is scanning the Y-axis of the matrix for the pitches. the code looks ike this:

//The <atrix function to update the ntoes played along the x axis. The y axis determines the note values
public int Sequencer(int theX, int theY) {
 println(theX);
  d[theX][theY].update();


int oct=1;
byte [] ident;
byte [] noteP;
byte [] noteV;
byte []  ident2;
 byte []  noteP2;
 byte []  noteV2;
  int note=theY;

  int next=theX;
  switch(note)
  {



    case 0:

     ident=intToByteArray(0x90);
    bt.broadcast(ident);
  noteP=intToByteArray(54);
   noteV=intToByteArray(0x7a);
  bt.broadcast(noteP);
  bt.broadcast(noteV); 

    break;
    case 1:

It works fine except I need to be able to send note off messages every time the matrix increments a step. The reason being that the second half of my synthesizer envelope is triggered with a note off message (0x80.) So I tried setting up a case statement to scan the X axis and trigger a note off with every step but it soesn't work. The Arduino synth either plays the sequence as one enveope cycle and fades out or crashes.. :( Would anyone know of a way in which I could send note off messages when the Matrix is stepping from one step to the next??

any help at all serious;y appreciated.,

Steve.

    Your fourth message to this forum, the second one about CP5 I have to move, and I still have to format your code, it is time to read the sticky post:

    To newcomers in this forum: read attentively these instructions

    :)

    Sorry I put it in the wrong place. I do normally format my code but for some reasonj, the C button doesn't work on my computer.. I was a bit torn on where to put it and i know i should have put it in contributed libraries folder. i'll REM next time. Cheers, Steve.

    The answer is in the custome matrix exemple where you can fint the cnt.

            `// extend the Matrix class since we need to override the Matrix's sequencer
        class CustomMatrix extends Matrix {

          Thread update;

          CustomMatrix(ControlP5 cp5, String theName) {
            super(cp5, theName);
            stop(); // stop the default sequencer and
            // create our custom sequencer thread. Here we 
            // check if the sequencer has reached the end and if so
            // we updated to the next preset.
            update = new Thread(theName) {
              public void run( ) {
                while ( true ) {
                  cnt++;  println(cnt);bpm();
                  cnt %= _myCellX;
                  if (cnt==0) {
                    // we reached the end and go back to start and 
                    // update the preset 
                   // println("rr");
                  }
                  trigger(cnt);
                  try {
                    sleep( _myInterval );
                  } 
                  catch ( InterruptedException e ) {
                  }
                }
              }
            };
            update.start();
          }



        }




        }
