I did as I usually do, took a run, did some work, came back to the ii.txi.help() command and truly looked closer.
Saw that I needed to formate the command in the following manner to get a print out:
ii.txi.get( ‘in’, 1) to get a printed readout. I will attempt to attach that to a number and eventually see what math I would need to do to convert this to a good midi CC range… Hmmm… And I guess I will need some sort of tool for accounting for negative range… Interesting stuff… Anyway, I’ll mark this as solved.
