Machine.add & variables

[jirko]

I want to use machine.add to add a file where I have mapped my midi controller. So I have a main script and I call the midi_mapping_file with machine.add, but how can I use the variables that are in the midi_mapping_file inside my main script?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Yo,
I think you may want to wrap your midi mapping code in a public class and perhaps use static functions/variables inside said class? Then you can add the mapping function only once at the begging of you chuck session and access its functions/variables in any shred. See here for a start:

I think that is what you are going for, I may have misinterpreted your post.

Hi kurtk,

thanks a lot for this link. I've got the class working now!
Static variables
