Looking for Arturia and AKAI Mpk Mini 3 controller users to test something

[probonopd]

Looking for Arturia and AKAI Mpk Mini 3 controller users to test a new feature @soyersoyer has been working on - relative mode:

Arturia encoders can be set to Absolute, Relative 1, Relative 2, Relative 3 modes.

From the Minilab mkII's manual:
Relative 1: The knob will send values 61-63 when turned in a negative direction
and values 65-67 when turned in a positive direction. The turn speed determines
the parameter response.

The encoders of AKAI Mpk Mini 3 can also be set to Relative mode, which is the same as the Arturia Relative 1 mode.

If you have such a device and can test whether relative mode works as expected for you, it'd be great if you could go to

• add MIDI Button actions and dec/inc trigger modes #767

Scroll down all the way and test the latest "build for testing".

Thank you very much!

It should also work with the "Relative (offset)" mode of Native Instruments controllers.

Mode Menu Values for Knobs
For the type Control Change, a Mode menu allows you to select between three operating modes

...

Relative (Offset): This mode is similar to the Relative mode explained above, with the
difference that here the values sent for the “+1” and “-1” messages are 65 and 63, respectively
— in other terms, they are centered around 64 instead of 0. This is well suited for some
particular software implementations. As in Relative mode, a Step parameter defines the
increment to use, and a Resolution parameter adjusts the sensitivity of the control element to
your actions.

And also with M-Audio Pro controllers:

Encoder Turn
...
CC Relative “CC RELTV”: This is useful for controlling endless Encoders in software.
Select from Right 65, Left 63

Other AKAI products should work also:

Assignable Knobs
Type: The type of message that will be sent. The available settings are MIDI CC, Aftertouch
(Aft), Increment/Decrement 1 (Inc/Dec1), and Increment/Decrement 2 (Inc/Dec2)

To set the mode of a knob, click the text field just below the knob and select
Absolute or Relative. In Absolute mode, the CC value corresponds directly to
knob position on the MPK. In Relative mode, knob position corresponds to a
particular knob position in your DAW, meaning the CC value will be relative to
that setting

Or with iRig Keys 2

When working in Relative (REL) mode the knob will send custom values to the selected CC. This will allow the
host application to browse long lists of elements easily.
