Hello,

&nbsp;

I connected my brand new ainser module to the “mainboard” Midibox 128 v3 and did some testing: the jitter is 20.

&nbsp;

I suppose I have to inform the Midibox about the connect Ainser module by editing the default.mio.

&nbsp;

AINSER;3;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x13  
AINSER;4;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x14  
AINSER;5;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x15  
AINSER;6;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x16  
AINSER;7;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x17  
AINSER;8;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x18  
AINSER;9;1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0xB0;0x19

&nbsp;

Is that right? And how?

&nbsp;

The ainser64 faders are on channel 1 by default: can I change this?

The volume goes in the opposite way: low volume is high and vice versa. Shall I “re-soldier” the 5V and 0V of the faders or is there a software solution?

Is there a way to define e.g. 1200 = minimum volume and 3500 = maximum volume?

&nbsp;

Maybe I missed a documentation, but I cannot find it…

&nbsp;

Can I plug the pistons in the Diomatrix module? I know how to change the channel, but should I edit some more things in de default.mio or should I edit the pc software (eg pc organ / jorgan etc.)

&nbsp;

nice regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

> The ainser64 faders are on channel 1 by default: can I change this?

&nbsp;

yes: currently you are using 0xB0 for each input, which means: send CC over MIDI channel #1

In order to send over MIDI Channel #2, just change this to 0xB1

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

> The volume goes in the opposite way: low volume is high and vice versa. Shall I “re-soldier” the 5V and 0V of the faders or is there a software solution?

&nbsp;

Please re-solder, it’s more consistent

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

> Is there a way to define e.g. 1200 = minimum volume and 3500 = maximum volume?

&nbsp;

Scaling analog values isn’t provided by the MIDIO128 applications.

If this is required, go for MIDIbox NG!

(and btw.: MIDIbox NG allows you to swap min/max without re-soldering the pots)

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

> Maybe I missed a documentation, but I cannot find it…

&nbsp;

MIDIO128 is a primitive application for beginners: you get what you read in the documentation. 😉

MIDIbox NG is much more flexible, but also requires that you read more documentation…

&nbsp;

Best Regards, Thorsten.

&nbsp;

okay, got it.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I have done that. I was in doubt whether to wait for the new faders (the old faders are worn), but I re-soldered some and some others I placed some upside down (left / right turns that way). It works!

&nbsp;

I guess I am getting addicted to playing with midi-hardware stuff… I will try out the Midibox NG soon. First I am going to find out how Rosegarden, fluid-synthesizer work (some midi basics…) with the current config of the organ.
