Extended Routing

MIDIbox NG
, , ,

Hi everybody,

 

finally I found the time to start a project on my new LPC17 core. I want to replace my current MIDI router (PIC-based) with the MIDIbox NG application. I have MIDI devices connected to both IN/OUT ports and a computer via USB. All MIDI channels are used and need to be routed/duplicated to different ports.

 

Here’s my problem: MIDIbox NG offers only 16 router nodes, but I need at least 32 to route my channels properly. Is it somehow possible to increase the number of nodes? A different solution would be to offer a range of filtered source channels instead of single ones. E.g. could we somehow group these 5 nodes into a single one (without using “All”)?

 

ROUTER n= 1   src_port=IN1  src_chn=5   dst_port=OUT2  dst_chn=17

ROUTER n= 2   src_port=IN1  src_chn=6   dst_port=OUT2  dst_chn=17

ROUTER n= 3   src_port=IN1  src_chn=7   dst_port=OUT2  dst_chn=17

ROUTER n= 4   src_port=IN1  src_chn=8   dst_port=OUT2  dst_chn=17

ROUTER n= 5   src_port=IN1  src_chn=9   dst_port=OUT2  dst_chn=17

 

That would help me a lot…

 

Best,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

 

filter ranges will be more time consuming than processing more than 16 MIDI router nodes.

 

The number could be increased in the mios32_config.h file, e.g.:

#define MIDI_ROUTER_NUM_NODES 32

this requires to recompile the application.

 

Do you know how to do this?

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Thorsten,

 

thanks, that sounds like an easy solution. Recompiling shouldn’t be a problem, I’ll try it tomorrow.

 

Best,

Sebastian
