How to.............

MIDIbox Tools & MIOS Studio

Is it my imagination or did I see somewhere that we can name our bank positions ?

That is so a name is displayed for each bank chosen on the lcd of a mb64.

All this stuff about using the ini etc…what does this mean

TIA

Ian,

I’m not sure if I understand your question.

What do you mean by bank positions ?

The INI file stuff is all intended for the VIRTUAL midibox64. With this you can configure a custom

virtual midibox layout.

Sorry Serge

How’s this…there are 16 bankstick storage positions available.

Can I name them once I have saved setups to them.

So that when I choose a setup from the bankstick I have a name rather than a number from 1 - 16

Hope that’s a bit clearer

Cheers

Ian

Ian,

here’s how you can do this :

first create a sysex file with vmidibox that uses 16

buttons to select each of the banks.

(code is : (see presetlist))

FF 02 0n | Switch to BankStick Bank n (n = 0..F)

You can test this first in connection with your real mb64.

If this is OK, modify the matching button code in vcustombox.vmb

for example for button 1 change the following code :

[button_136]

Type=Button

Caption=1

Tag=1001

Height=25

Width=25

Left=38

Top=380

You can see that the tag value is ‘1001’ : this links the button to the matching action 01 and should not be changed. Also the type should stay ‘Button’

The other properties may be changed as you wish :

The value for caption should contain the name if the bank.

You can easily delete all redundant button and fader code, but keep the form and LCD display data !.

Good luck,

Serge
