display parameter of mbseq on an old notebook scre

MIDIbox SEQ
1

what is my project :to do a mbseq without lcd but using an old notebook (arche np102) with a intel 386 to display all the parameter. I plan to design an interface with synthedith and  make it to respond to the parameter changes of the seq , so you can see what you are doing.

i just want to know if it’s possible to send a sysex string or midi each time a button is pressed ,even with the gp or play and pause etc buttons?

i want to put the F1-F4 buttons just under the screen in order to label them on it ,something like menu navigation on mpc samplers.

And can i use the 1GB drive in the notebook to store data ,to avoid the use of bankstick?

… should be possible. I’m mostly only concerned with the MidiBox LC… so somebody else, more experienced possibly will answer you this question.

And can i use the 1GB drive in the notebook to store data ,to avoid the use of bankstick?

… you could upload the data from your drive with sysex… I think the bankstick is much quicker and the way to go.

And just a reminder: You better use a LCD anyway… for debuging.

screamin’ ,did you mean that is possible with the midibox LC?

Yes… that’s actually what it’s supposed to do  ;)

I think this should also work with the MBSEQ. You can write a PC application with a graphical interface window. Receiveing commands from your MidiBox for onscreen status display and with buttons to click with the mouse which will send commands back to the MidiBox.
