hello,
i’ve just ordered kits in order to build a midibox.
i’d like to have 96 inputs instead of 64…
so i’ve ordered 3 modules AINX4…
will it be possible to chain these 3 modules with only
one core module ?
thanks in advance :!!!
j.
Sorry, but I’m pretty sure the max is 64 for each core…
Justin
The core will support the 96 inputs but your application may not.
you will need 2 cores and 4 ains… i ran up against this with my MoogModular controller.
Thanks for these answers.
Is it possible to connect :
2*AINX ( = 64 inputs) and 1*DINX ( = 32 inputs ) on only one CORE module ?
j.
yes
hey jeb, no need to double-post 
(although I enjoyed training my french)
hello,
maybe you could help me… i’ve posted a message in french
about what do we call a button ?
does AIN command
* push-button ? like a key of a keyboard ?
* switches :
(http://www.gotronic.fr/catalog/commut/inverseur1.htm)
* both ?
does DIN command
* push-button ? like a key of a keyboard ?
* switches :

* both ?
thanks in advance,

AIN measures Analogue Voltage Ranges (typ. 0V to 5V), e.g. if you have 2.5V on AIN/Pin0, is is likely a Midi Message with the value 64 or 65 will be sent (depending on the application, of course). You typically connect a potentiometer (10k, linear, either round pot or fader) to an AIN.
DIN checks the logical level of digital input line, that means: 5V OR 0V (logic HIGH and LOW). You can connect all kinds of switches, buttons, knobs or encoders.
So: AIN is Analoge Range, DIN is Digital Input.
A piano keyboard normally involves Digital Input (key down, key up), sometimes also AIN (aftertouch amount -> pressure range!).
There are multistate switches like the one in your link (-> for more than one pole you need multiple pins), buttons to toggle, snap; radio-button groups… that’s too much to tell. Take a look in an electronic store or see the parts FAQ in the Wiki.
Best,
Michael
hello,
thanks for your answer. imagine I use a switch ON/OFF
(http://www.gotronic.fr/commut-opt/07000-opt.jpg) with DINX.
when I switch the button, will midibox send just a message of :
* position-change (the box doesn’t know if it’s ON or OFF, but
there is a change of state)
* the box sends ON/OFF if I switch to ON/OFF ?
do you understand what I mean ?
I want to command a ON/OFF switch for Minimoog plugin with
my switch (http://www.gotronic.fr/commut-opt/07000-opt.jpg).
If the box just sends a position-change message, it will
depend on the position the switch had at the beginning
(like an encoder…).
To sum up, my question is : I don’t want my switch ON/OFF to
depend on the state at the beginning. When I switch to OFF,
I want my plugin switch to be OFF.

well, I think you really should read the basic docs like:
http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=what_is_a_midibox
http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=introduction_to_ucapps.de
(normally this is done before ordering )
and maybe you should look out for a beginner’s electronic book. There are plenty of them.
To come back to your question: A switch is just ON or OFF, but your Midibox does nothing without a program (application). As there are dozens of different applications and the possibility to code custom apps, there is no unique answer.
Look into the C-Skeleton, if you want to code your application by yourself (See http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=application_development). You get notified by a toggle ([tt]DIN_NotifyChange()[/tt]), the value is submitted, too.
Also, you can check the state of any pin at any given time.
