Part 1
Because of this that I saw in the mb64e.ini file:
# Additional 4 Buttons in the menu section - assigned to special functions
17 = FF 08 41 @OnOff # SFB: select bank/group
18 = FF 08 40 @OnOff # SFB: Select Parameter with encoder when hold
19 = FF 08 11 @OnOff # SFB: Encoder in fast mode when hold
20 = FF 08 21 @OnOff # SFB: Encoder in slow mode when hold
# Navigation buttons, only available as MIDI triggers when they
# have been disabled in main.asm
21 = 90 7C 7F @OnOff
22 = 90 7D 7F @OnOff
23 = 90 7E 7F @OnOff
24 = 90 7F 7F @OnOff
Below is my Main.asm code that I am using to hopefully eliminate the LCD menu options, since I need those DINs and This box is specially designed for Ableton - there are no shifted options whatsoever; every knob, button, or encoder has just one function, and really the LCD is just there to look cool and display the title of the knob I am turning at the time.
; DIN pin numbers of menu buttons
#if DEFAULT_ENC_DATAWHEEL == 0
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_EXEC 0 ; menu exec button assigned to DIN pin #7
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_RIGHT 0 ; menu right button assigned to DIN pin #6
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_LEFT 0 ; menu left button assigned to DIN pin #5
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_SNAPSHOT 0 ; menu snapshot button assigned to DIN pin #4
#else
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_EXEC 0 ; menu exec button assigned to DIN pin #7
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_SNAPSHOT 0 ; menu snapshot button assigned to DIN pin #4
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_RIGHT 0 ; NOT USED - overlayed by datawheel
#define DEFAULT_DIN_MENU_LEFT 0 ; NOT USED - overlayed by datawheel
#endif
As well as setting these to 0:
; Some menus are providing the possibility to use 16 "general purpose" buttons
; for selecting a parameter - e.g. the Bank Select menu allows to directly change the
; Bank with these buttons. So long as you stay in this menu, the normal function of
; these buttons (triggering MIDI or SFB events) is disabled
; Define the two shift registers which are assigned to this function here:
; 0 disables the GP buttons (not recommented!)
#define DEFAULT_GP_DIN_SR0 0 ; first GP DIN shift register assigned to SR#2
#define DEFAULT_GP_DIN_SR1 0 ; second GP DIN shift register assigned to SR#3
; above these buttons LEDs should be mounted to visualize the selected parameter
; (e.g. to visualize the bank which corresponds with the buttons below)
; Define the two shift registers which are assigned to this function here:
; 0 disables the GP LEDs (not recommented!)
#define DEFAULT_GP_DOUT_SR0 0 ; first GP DOUT shift register assigned to SR#5
#define DEFAULT_GP_DOUT_SR1 0 ; second GP DOUT shift register assigned to SR#6
As well as setting this option to 0, since I KNOW I will have both pots and encs:
; The morphing function uses addresses within the MIOS address range which are
; reserved for the AIN handler.
; NOTE: morphing is automatically disabled if analog pots/faders are connected
#define DEFAULT_MORPH_FUNCTION_ENABLED 0
And Finally these settings for AIN and Mux Support:
; Although MIDIbox64E has been designed for rotary encoders, it can also handle with
; up to 64 pots/faders or up to 8 motorfaders.
; Pots and faders are mapped to the "encoder" entries 64-128.
; Example: if group width is 16, and group 1 is selected, encoders are using
; entry 1-16, and pots are using entry 64-70
; NOTE: morphing is automatically disabled if analog pots/faders are connected
#define DEFAULT_NUMBER_AIN 8
;
; you could enable the multiplexers here to test this application
; with a MIDIbox64 based hardware
; if 0: no multiplexers (a *must* when MF module connected)
; if 1: use multiplexers
#define DEFAULT_ENABLE_AIN_MUX 1
Do the settings above make any sense?
PArt 2:
The funny thing is that when you DL the complete MB64 Application, I don’t see the ini file in there at all, nor do I see any Sysex setup for it either. I think that what I might have to do is:
1.Take my customized MB64E.ini and create a new sysex file using Perl
-
Rename this Sysex file to “main.syx” and replace main.syx in the install folder
-
Convert my custom main.asm into main.hex using MPASM
-
Upload the Application
Does that sound right?
