14-bit potentiometer

Grid
1

Hello,
After two days of research and testing, I haven’t managed to get a 14-bit potentiometer to work in “Minimalist mode” in Grid Editor (1.6.2) for a PBF4 plugged in Pure Data. The goal: high-resolution control for frequency variation.
For the PD side, I’ve found a small patch that seems to work, according to its creator. (I also have all my possible MIDI “inputs” open so I don’t miss a move anywhere.)

For the Grid Editor part, I tested the following settings:

  • Potmeter / PC / Bit depth = 7/10
  • Potmeter / PC / Min = 0
  • Potmeter / PC / Max = 14-bit MIDI (16383) / 1024
  • MIDI / 14-bit MIDI / Channel = 0 (1)
  • MIDI / 14-bit MIDI / CC number = 32 / 64 / CC#0
  • MIDI / 14-bit MIDI / Controller Value = -1 / val / 16383

I also tested it in MIDI / RPN-NRPN mode.
I’ve also tried the following tutorial: Intech Studio Grid: 14-bit MIDI CC

But none of these settings allow me to receive a stream of values in PD.
Or on Grid Editor MIDI Monitor.

Is there something I’ve missed?
Or do I have to use code in ‘setup’ mode?

I need help.
Thanks!

I have a profile that works for PO16 and can probably be adapted to PBF4. It logs 14-bit in the grid editor and tested it in my own software. I have an old max patch somewhere that could probably be helpful for the Pd bit. I am aiming to get this PO16, PBF4, and VSN1 set up for a performance this weekend, so I will be in this a bunch. I haven’t shared any scripts/profiles on here, but let me know if this works?

I should mention that the PO16 one is only for a couple of pots right now. If you just copy/paste the exact same scripts to the rest of the pots, it will scale automatically for all of them.

I have never been able to get the 14-bit res working with the MIDI action. It looks like hi res should be built into that, but it seems something is missing or I don’t get it. I used the scripts instead and it looks to be pretty solid and well behaved for hi res from hardware! Anyway, hope that helps!
