Hello!

My project that I am doing is the LC, I am not using all of the functions of it though just a selected few.  I saw the file lc_io_table in the LC V1.6 folder and noticed that each button was assigned its on number, obviously!  As I am not using all of the functions can I change what each button is assigned to for example:

#define ID_REC_RDY_CHN1 0x00 ;  o  o

#define ID_REC_RDY_CHN2 0x01 ;  o  o

#define ID_REC_RDY_CHN3 0x02 ;  o  o

As you can see there is a lot less functions on it!

As I am only using 7 shift registers I will need to tell the main.hex file that won’t I also?

Can I disable functions in the main.hex file that control the LCD screen as well?  I will not be using one thats all.

Thanks for your time!

Sorry and one other thing, I have ommited:

#define ID_SELECT_CHN1 0x18 ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN2 0x19 ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN3 0x1a ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN4 0x1b ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN5 0x1c ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN6 0x1d ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN7 0x1e ;  o  o

#define ID_SELECT_CHN8 0x1f ;  o  o

Are these essential for what I need the LC for?

Thanks

No, thats not the way to do it.

You can change the ID_names in the first table … but please NEVER change the Adresses!

For example:

You can change ID_OPTION to ID_WHATEVER but you cannot change the hex number behind this function.

Read carefully the comments !!

; ==========================================================================

;  command IDs which are provided by the LC protocol

;  don’t change the numbers here!

;  use the definitions in the IO table to assign functions to buttons and LEDs

; ==========================================================================

If you want to assign the functions to your button /Leds go a little further down the file:

Under LC_IO_TABLE_LAYER0 you can assign the functions to your shift registers.

If you don’want to use a function or if you don’t have the Shift register connected write: ID_IGNORE, ID_IGNORE

The table must consist of 128 entries:

Read here:

; IMPORTANT: this table MUST consist of 128 entries!!!

; unused lines have to be filled with “db ID_IGNORE, ID_IGNORE”

; =========================================================================

As I am only using 7 shift registers I will need to tell the main.hex file that won’t I also?

Yes. you’ll have to do it here:

#define NUMBER_SHIFTREGISTERS 16 ; length of shift register chain (max value: 16 == 128 DIN/DOUT pins)

Can I disable functions in the main.hex file that control the LCD screen as well?  I will not be using one thats all.

You only can change the main.asm file and the compile it to main.hex … you don’t have to cahnge anything if you don’t use a display. This doesn’t matter.

Your second post:

The ID_SELECT_CHNx is important. It is the “Select” knob for each channel strip. Every time you control a value depending on a channel strip you’ll need this button.

Hello,

Thanks DOC for your help it makes so much more sense!

The sections in the main.asm file for the rotary encoders and v-pots etc can all just be ignored then I take it?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry forgot to write everything in the last reply, the select buttons were are they on the picture of the LC?

Are they the buttons at the top of channel strips?

When you say control a value does this include mute/solo/record arm/fader position? or just the assignable V pots for EQ, pan etc?

Thanks

If you don’t use them - yes.

Are they the buttons at the top of channel strips?

This is the box of TK. He has not marked them. I think he placed them under the encoders.

When you say control a value does this include mute/solo/record arm/fader position? or just the assignable V pots for EQ, pan etc?

The function depends a little bit on your host application. I work with Cubase. In Cubase you press the select button to select the current channel you want to work with. It is then also the button which selects the EQ for the desired channel.

I don’t know what “arm/fader position” mean.

mute/solo/rec are seperate buttons above the select button.

I don’t know what “arm/fader position” mean.

… just guessing: I think these are those Mackie shift-functions, where “arm” means “arm/write automation” and “fader position” means “snapshot to zero-/unity gain-position” of the fader.
