pmpcontrol 0.0.1

A Python interface for interacting with the iCON Platform M+ MIDI control surface.

Platform M+ MIDI Controller

This Python package provides an interface for interacting with the iCON Platform M+ MIDI control surface.

Features

• Get and set fader positions
• Get and set button light states
• Add and remove event listeners for encoder, fader and button events
• Sync fader positions with user movement, preventing them from dropping

Installation

To install the package, use pip:

pip install pmpcontrol

Example Usage

from controller import PMPController, PMPEvent

# Initialize the controller
controller = PMPController(sync_faders=True)

# Connect to the device
try:
    controller.connect()
    print("Connected to Platform M+")
except OSError as error:
    print(error)

# Define event handler to flash buttons when pressed
def on_button_press(button_number, is_pressed, state):
    controller.set_button(button_number, not state)
    print(f"Button {button_number} {'pressed' if is_pressed else 'released'}")

# Add event listener
controller.add_event_listener(PMPEvent.BUTTON, on_button_press)

# Set a fader position
controller.set_fader(0, 0.5)  # Set fader 0 to 50%

# Keep the script running to handle events
try:
    print("Press Ctrl+C to exit.")
    while True:
        pass
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("Exiting...")
finally:
    # Disconnect when done
    controller.reset()
    controller.disconnect()

API Reference

PMPController

The main controller class:

• __init__(sync_faders: bool = False): Initialize the controller.
• connect() -> Tuple[int, int]: Connect to the Platform M+ device. (Raises OSError if Platform M+ device not found)
• disconnect(): Disconnect from the device.
• set_fader(fader_number: int, normalized_position: float): Set a fader position.
• get_fader(fader_number: int) -> float: Get a fader position.
• set_button(button_number: int, state: bool): Set a button state.
• get_button(button_number: int) -> bool: Get a button state.
• reset(): Reset all faders and buttons to their default states.
• set_fader_sync(sync_faders: bool): Enable or disable fader syncing.
• add_event_listener(event_type: PMPEvent, callback: Callable): Add an event listener callback.
• remove_event_listener(event_type: PMPEvent, callback: Callable): Remove an event listener callback.

PMPEvent

An enum representing different types of events:

• FADER
• BUTTON
• ENCODER

Event Listener Callbacks

• Fader: callback(fader_number: int, normalized_value: float)
• Button: callbacks(button_number: int, is_pressed: bool, button_state: bool)
• Encoder: callback(encoder_number: int, value: int)

The fader callback's normalized_value argument is a float between 0 and 1 representing position.
The encoder callback's value is a number from 1 to 7 when turned right, and 65 to 71 when turned left, with a higher value representing a faster speed.
