Hello Midiboxers!
I’d like to display some text with my midibox hardware. Therefore i want to program an application on my computer, which sends some character strings via midi to the midibox. I think i can use the midibox LC application. Now my question: How does the LC (or MC, MM) Protocol transmit such a character string (e.g. channel names)? Is there a simpler way to do this (maybe assembler)?
Best regards, Stefan
Hi Stefan,
there is a very simple way to display a message - just use the “print message on LCD” SysEx command of MIOS (http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_sysex_implementation.txt)
It’s an internal MIOS feature which works also in a running application. If you want to prevent that the message vanishes after 2 seconds, you have to modifiy the USER_DISPLAY_Init hook (e.g. the small skeleton: add a “return” below USER_DISPLAY_Init")
Example for a message (use MIDI-Ox to send this command)
F0 00 00 7E 40 00 08 01 00 00 4d 79 20 66 69 72 73 74 20 4d 65 73 73 61 67 65 21 20 3a 2d 29 f7
Best Regards, Thorsten.
