Is there any way to not have to “cycle” through layers via Layer button, but e.g. keymap some Modifier-key + 1-8 num keys to directly switch to a Layer?

+1! I have also wished for this feature.
I haven’t got around to checking if this is similar to an existing feature request, and am full on with work atm, but it might be worth you submitting a new feature request to ensure that the suggestion is given some attention.

Good point, guys!
We could extend the current CUIA mechanism for implementing this, but as some of you probably knows, we are considering the implementation of a proper API in the near future. Anyway, you should open a ticket on our issue tracker, so we don’t forget this feature

Hi @zynthianers!
I just extended the CUIA system with 2 new calls:
- SCREEN_MAIN (it was missing!!!)
- LAYER_CONTROL %i
The second one allows to change the active layer and switch to control screen , but it’s not mapped to the keyboard yet. You can access it by:
- OSC
- MIDI
Check the updated documention:
Kind regards,

The wiki says that LAYER_CONTROL will be accessed via midi by note E7. But just say the key, how do I send the layer number, in the velocity value of the note? I’m trying to send the note E7 with the speed varying between 1 and 8 through channel 16, but the screen isn’t changing the layer.

I forgot to merge the commit that included the MIDI mapping to the new CUIA. Please, update and test again (testing branch, of course!).

I did the update, but the only layer command that showed change on screen and midi feedback was SWITCH_LAYER_SHORT.
Do I have to run some manual script to update the CUIA options?
