Double MB64E configuration

Ok .. i’m back in the MIOS …

My project is  that :

for controlling reason …

So i have :

  • 8 menus buttons

  • 4*15 encoders

  • 15 analog faders

  • 3 *15 buttons

As 1 Core module is not enough for all this, i must use 2 cores with MB64E config  …

I’m not sure how i can use the 2 cores …

My idea was

  • Core “master” = 8 menu buttons + 3*15 buttons + 15 faders

  • Core “slave”  = 4*15 encoders

Is this the good solution ?

other thing …

i connected the master to the front panel like that :

  • menu -> first DIN J3

  • Button 1 to 4 -> first DIN J4

  • Button 5 to 8 -> first DIN J7

  • Button 9 to 12 -> first DIN J6

  • Button 13 to 15 -> first DIN J5

When i startup the core, the 5th note on the screen is always ON …

I push the 5th button and release it : the 5th note disapear … but i push on button 1, 2, 3 or  4, the 5th note comes ON again and stays like that … ???

I also notice that the buttons 1 to 4 and 9 to 15 gives a C2 note on the screen but the buttons 5 to 8 gives a C5 note …???

… where are the 5 to 8 C2 notes ???

ok .. i found where are the C2 note on 1-2-3-4 … on J3 but used by the menus buttons …

but doesn’t explain the strange behaviour of note ON 5 which stay lighted when i push Note on 1-2-3 or 4 …and lights off when i push note ON 5 … ???

nobody for me ??

Must be an electrical problem (bad soldering, missing pull-up resistor, bad button), but why did you wrote about this at the programming board?

first : problem solved … it was a multiplexer which was crazy .. i changed it … it works fine now !

second : TK : because i have another problem concerning the config and the soft …

i just want to know first if i choosed the right dispatching of different faders, boutons and encoders regarding the 2 core …

My way to work with Propellerhead Reason is :

i make a song with one 14 channels mixer  and the next song in my set with another mixer … And i want to pass from one mixer to the next one just by changing the bank …

I know that i have to use the banks to switch and the SFB to send  (from the master core: id0) the Bank change to the slave core (id1) …

So i just need to know if i am right in my config …

thanks

PS : TK: how is your new flat ? :smiley:

here is the result … :

here is the result … :

concerning the “How to connect 2 cores” …with Midibox Link …

If i just connect my two core like:

(without the center core …)

the bank changes on core 1 are transmitted to the sec. core ?

Or do i have to change some code lines ?

I mean : i understand what is in the control messages generated by the

menu navigation … (Display, bank changes … ) but do i have to

change something in the code of the receiver cores ?

if you’ve enabled “Send Program Change on Bank Changes”, yes

At the receiver site “Receive Program Change for Bank Change” should be enabled.

Or do i have to change some code lines ?

no, you can do this change in your .ini file, or with Serge’s Editor

the diagram above shows a concept which can be used by other programmers if they want to control multiple midiboxes from a single control surface. This is not implemented in MIDIbox64. If you need this, then you have to program this by yourself.

ok !

If i understand well ..

Only the Bank changes are transmitted … with the current MIOS applications …

This is not implemented in MIDIbox64. If you need this, then you have to program this by yourself.

Did you allready write some code for other applications ?

May be another midiboxer ?   ;D

thanx

yes, but totally unsupported, since it’s unfinished and I don’t plan to add more into this direction since the implementation is very hardware specific (in other words: I don’t want to program individual solutions for you guys which I would never use by myself…)

Check the MIDIbox64 SysEx Implementation doc, search for MIDI remote, and think about the possibility to send these sysex commands via meta events…
