A little hep with basic MIDI XML ediing - Modifiers.

Hi. Wondering if there's any Pro's out there that could help me out.

I am following this Guide: djtechtools.com

I'm stuck at the first modifier example: Using a MIDI note for Play and another as a modifier to enable play-reversed. I am using Note 38 for the modifier and 37 for the Play button.

The Play button works as expected but the modifier doesn't do anything.


heres my code:

 1. <midi app=" 2.0.5.4558">
 2.   <control channel="1" event_type="Note On" control="38">
 3.     <userio event="click">
 4.       <modifier_1>
 5.         <translation action_on="any" behaviour="explicit"/>
 6.       </modifier_1>
 7.     </userio>
 8.   </control>
 9.   <control channel="1" event_type="Note On" control="37">
10.     <case>
11.       <condition>
12.         <modifier_1 operator="equal" cmp_value="off"/>
13.       </condition>
14.       <userio event="click">
15.         <play deck_set="Default" deck_id="0" slot_id="0">
16.           <translation action_on="press" behaviour="toggle"/>
17.         </play>
18.       </userio>
19.       <userio event="output">
20.         <play deck_set="Default" deck_id="0" slot_id="0">
21.           <translation action_on="any">
22.             <alias name="on" value="61"/>
23.             <alias name="off" value="67"/>
24.           </translation>
25.         </play>
26.       </userio>
27.     </case>
28.     <case>
29.       <condition>
30.         <modifier_1 operator="equal" cmp_value="on"/>
31.       </condition>
32.       <userio event="click">
33.         <reverse deck_set="Default" deck_id="0" slot_id="0">
34.           <translation action_on="press" behaviour="toggle"/>
35.         </reverse>
36.       </userio>
37.     </case>
38.   </control>
39. </midi>
40. 


Any ideia what I am doing wrong?

Why don't you just map a button to reverse it's simpler to do if possible just make it be a button close to the play button sk is near reach if not you can use shift+play to make it reverse.

What controller are you using?

My goal is not simply using reverse, it's generally using shift modifiers for things like deleting cue points for example without being forced to change the controller to a different mode, delete cue points then go back to the previous mode.
