have you tried:
audio unit hey midi controller X to Y set

where:
X = CC
Y= value

Some more ideas (and time invested not doing scales...lazing)

A talker by itself can't send neither notes nor MIDI CC's, but can handle the light switching. (later on this)

Using one wire for each percussion key (this have you done right? :input filter: (connections details) this will "isolate" each key of the percussion keygroup (enter 121, 122, 123 and so on) If using a rig, filter once; either outside or inside the rig.

Maybe use yaw to map each parameter/CC - then MIDI learn on the B4.

Let me know if this helps...

@carvingCode
Belcanto using a player works great inside a talker!!
That is how the Arranger works, sort of....
(ex. Modartt - Pianoteq accepts note on to load presets - a talker can this way control Preset change)

Hey guys,

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

OK, so I have already tried cabling the 'key output' or 'yaw output' from the percussion keygroup to a parameter in the AU. filtered for 73 because i'm a tau user. :)

I find 'key output' is more useful because with yaw you have to hit it just right so it doesn't return to the original value.

my problem now is that I can only get it to go one way. I can start at zero and nudge it up 1 or 2 at a time, but once its at the top, it stays there unless I hit the invert button in the configure window. I'm not too sure at this stage if I would rather that the counting goes 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 or 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 but if you have a suggestion for either, I'm all ears.

See the bottom of this page, just set up a talker that sends that Belcanto:

Setting up different states based on yaw nudging is not really going to work since it will snap back to the central state when you release the key. What you can do though is to cycle through different values while you press on a key: first press triggers a first talker, deactivates it, activates next talker, second press triggers second talker, deactivates it, activates next talker, ... and so on. Each talker can return a different colour.

Maybe that will be closer to what you're trying to do.

Thanks a bunch guys,

I'm finding that the "audio unit hey midi controller X to Y set " works fine but the only extra thing i need it to do is toggle between values.

I've tried setting up different actions on one key of the talker:
audio unit hey midi controller X to Y set
audio unit hey midi controller X to Z set

But I asume that these are both being performed at the same time.

So I think i need some kind of toggle. I know how to use toggle with metronome start, but it there a way to set the two things that are being toggled?

so hypothetically:
audio unit hey midi controller X to Y or Z toggle set

No need to use different outputs for that, you can basically have different keys in the same talkers. Since you can have multiple belcanto phrases through multiple actions, you can execute your functionality in the first action and then use other actions to change the actual key coordinates that the talker key is listening to.

For instance:

talker 1

key -> key 1
action 1 : midi converter 1 hey midi controller 1 to 127 set
action 2 : talker 1 hey key 1 key row to 0 set
action 3 : talker 1 hey key 2 key row to 1 set
default colour : 2
key column : 3
key row : 1

key -> key 2
action 1 : midi converter 1 hey midi controller 1 to 0 set
action 2 : talker 1 hey key 1 key row to 1 set
action 3 : talker 1 hey key 2 key row to 0 set
default colour : 1
key column : 3
key row : 0


So as you press on key 1, it'll set the MIDI controller value to 127, change its own row coordinate to 0 (which can't be used on the current instruments through the keyboard) and change key 2's row coordinate to 1. This effectively hides key 1 and makes key 2 active. The colour of talker key 2 will then be shown and the next time you press the same physical keyboard key on coordinate 3,1, it will set the MIDI controller value to 0 and switch the rows around the other way.
