addon buttons with my mb808 seq

MIDIbox SEQ
1

i´m currently building a new seqboard for my mb808…on my testboard i added few more buttons on for copy/paste/clear track and copy/paste/clear steps…so it´s six more buttons…

in the setup_808_default.asm i call the functions with:

DIN_ENTRY CS_M_UTILS_CopyTrack, 2, 3

    DIN_ENTRY CS_M_UTILS_PasteTrack, 2, 4    

    DIN_ENTRY CS_M_UTILS_ClearTrack, 2, 1    

    DIN_ENTRY CS_M_UTILS_CopySteps, 1, 5

    DIN_ENTRY CS_M_UTILS_PasteSteps, 1, 6

    DIN_ENTRY CS_M_UTILS_ClearSteps, 1, 7

…so i does work somehow…although the copy/paste/clear steps is not working as i thought it would be…

copy/paste/clear track is working fine, while the machine runs i can copy tracks…but copy/paste/clear steps is only working when i stop the machine…is there another way to call the function so that it will also work when it´s running?

but better would be, instead of adding six buttons, to have only 3 buttons more with a shift function…so while holding

shift it copies steps and without shift it´s copying tracks…is that possible somehow?

it cannot work properly this way, dedicated button handling functions have to be created.

this would also allow to consider the shift button.

if the examples under seq_buttons.inc don’t help, you have to wait until i’m back from vagation.

best regards, thorsten.

so…what i did now is putting this code in the seq_buttons.inc …or its more a “copy some lines and paste them elsewhere” …cause its really hard for me to understand asm, as i didn´t do anything before like coding and such things…so its pretty a learning by trial an error… :wink:

so here is what i did:

SEQ_BUTTON_COPYTRACK

    call CS_M_HLP_GetSelectedTrk

    movff WREG, SEQ_EVNTT

    call CS_M_UTILS_CopyTrack

    rgoto SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont


SEQ_BUTTON_PASTETRACK

    call CS_M_HLP_GetSelectedTrk

    movff WREG, SEQ_EVNTT

    call CS_M_UTILS_PasteTrack

    rgoto SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont


SEQ_BUTTON_CLEARTRACK

    call CS_M_HLP_GetSelectedTrk

    movff WREG, SEQ_EVNTT

    call CS_M_UTILS_ClearTrack

    rgoto SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont


SEQ_BUTTON_COPYSTEPS

    call CS_M_UTILS_CopySteps

    rgoto SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont


SEQ_BUTTON_PASTESTEPS

    call CS_M_UTILS_PasteSteps

    rgoto SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont


SEQ_BUTTON_CLEARSTEPS

    call CS_M_UTILS_ClearSteps

    rgoto SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont


SEQ_BUTTON_CPC_Cont

    call CS_M_UTILS_UpdateGPLEDs

    bsf CS_STAT, CS_STAT_DISPLAY_UPDATE_REQ

    return


SEQ_BUTTON_F4

    SET_BSR SEQ_BASE


    BRA_IFSET SEQ_MODE1, SEQ_MODE1_SHIFT, BANKED, SEQ_BUTTON_COPYTRACK

    ;; do nothing when button has been released

    btfsc MIOS_PARAMETER2, 0

    return


    goto SEQ_BUTTON_COPYSTEPS


    return


SEQ_BUTTON_F5

    SET_BSR SEQ_BASE


    ;; if shift button pressed: start/stop record mode

    BRA_IFSET SEQ_MODE1, SEQ_MODE1_SHIFT, BANKED, SEQ_BUTTON_PASTETRACK

    ;; do nothing when button has been released

    btfsc MIOS_PARAMETER2, 0

    return


    goto SEQ_BUTTON_PASTESTEPS


    return


SEQ_BUTTON_F6


    SET_BSR SEQ_BASE


    ;; if shift button pressed: start/stop record mode

    BRA_IFSET SEQ_MODE1, SEQ_MODE1_SHIFT, BANKED, SEQ_BUTTON_CLEARTRACK

    ;; do nothing when button has been released

    btfsc MIOS_PARAMETER2, 0

    return


    goto SEQ_BUTTON_CLEARSTEPS


    return

for now its works while running also with the shift function…yippie…but the only limitation is, the stepcopy just works in one part like only A or only in B…but cannont copy steps from A to B as it seems to clear the buffer when changing to another part…puh…will be a next hard night fiddling around…but it starts to make fun somehow…hehe

otherwise i have to wait ´till you´re back from holiday and have some sparetime left. :wink:

anyway…wishing you a nice vacation, thorsten
