pacer-editor's Introduction

Pacer web editor

Configure your Nektar Pacer MIDI controller with your web browser.

Requirements

⚠️ This application requires a browser that support the Web MIDI API.

Currently, only Chrome and Opera support this standard. This app will therefore not work in Firefox, Safari, IE or Edge.

Limitations

The current version of this editor isn't able to edit the Global configuration of the Pacer.

This editor does not offer patches management either.

This app has mainly be tested with Chrome on a MacBook pro running OS X 10. Some tests have been done with success with Chrome under Linux Mint 17.1. The application has never been tested under Windows. Any Windows feedback is very welcome.

Still under active development. Feel free to log bugs/issues. This is a development I'm doing during my freetime.

pacer-editor's Issues

Sending patch to Pacer does not work for firmware v10112

Hello François,

I recently updated my Pacer to the latest firmware v10112 and the "send patch to pacer" functionality broke.

After sending the patch to the Pacer, the lower 3 dots in the LCD start to blink and the preset it not automatically stored. I can "force save" the patch by going to the save menu after receiving the patch, but even then only the buttons 1,2&3 are stored, the rest of the buttons retain their previous configuration.

This is the .syx path I'm trying to send: https://www.edmundofuentes.com/assets/posts/2020-06-05-boss-rc-202-nektar-pacer-midi-foot-controller/netkar-pacer-patch-rc202.2020-06-10-033223.syx

I believe that something is failing when updating the button 4 that is halting the update procedure. Still, I cannot see any error on the Editor nor in the Pacer.

I've already written to Netkar's Support to see if they changed their MIDI Sysex implementation in the new firmware. I'll let you know if they reply with anything useful.

Also, let me know if I can help in any way. I've written a couple of utilities for MIDI in various languages, but never using the WebMIDI API in JS. Still, I'm looking at the code and figuring things out.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers!

MIDI channel map incomplete

You are probably already aware that channel 16 is not available for any messages using this editor. I am finding it to be very useful, and if I can assist in any way, please do not hesitate to ask. I'm using channel 16 for lighting control, so it is very important for me to have this functionality. At first, I thought that perhaps the mapping started with channel 1 = channel 0 in the drop-down box. It took some experimentation to find this was an incorrect assumption.

Program Step entry writes incomplete/erroneous info

Steps to reproduce:

Add a step with the Program Step type.
You won't see an entry for the data bit (1/0) necessary to make it increment or decrement.
No matter what you enter in the start/stop fields when you go into the manual editor you see that the start is always the largest value and the stop is 0.

You can go in after the fact in manual mode and correct it, and once that's done the corrections aren't overwritten. So it's not the end of the world but it is kind of annoying.

Pacer web ab problem setting STEP inc/dec

Hi,
Nice web utility!! I only have one problem: I can not set the target when I select STEP inc/dec. It will always return to the default value that was set when selecting this function.
Best,
Rob

Saving to Pacer hardware not working (Chrome 71, macOS 10.14)

First off thank you for all of the hard work you put in to build this. When I found out the Pacer I just got didn't have an editor app, I was kind of bummed...until I found this. Amazing work.

With that said, I'm having an issue. Reading from the Pacer appears to be working in every way supported. However, writing to the unit does not seem to be working for me, though everything appears successful in the app.

I'm following these steps:

Click the Controls tab.
Select B1 preset.
Change the Name to ABCD
Click on Update Pacer button
After it re-reads the settings, they're unchanged.

I've also tried changing individual controls without luck as well.

I'm a fellow web developer and while I've never worked with WebMIDI, I'd be comfortable digging in a bit if there's any sort of guidance you can provide...
