Ron said:I'm not convinced this is achievable. For example, let's consider the conversion of MIDI volume controller to GMPI. MIDI volume doesn't have a standard mapping from 0-127 to gain values. So how does this value get converted within GMPI? How the does the converted value survive the round trip through a processor that does: MIDI -> GMPI - > [Event Processing] -> GMPI -> MIDI.
All 7 bit controllers get converted like so....
float gmpi_value = (float) midi_cc / 127.0;
.. and converted back like so...
int midi_cc = (int) (gmpi_value * 127.0 + 0.5);
( as usual, i've probley made some terrible coding error, like forgot a semicolon, or rounded down instead of up, but I hope you get the gist)
Don't assume the conversion to GMPI is some over-complicated thing, we're not going to convert everything to Angstroms or anything. It's just a converion to floating point.
The intention isn't to reinvent the whole thing, only to give controllers more resolution by converting to floating point.
