Menu button as SHIFT button when Main screen is displayed.

MIDIbox SID
1

well, here i am.

i’ve not absolutely programming skill but i’m studying.

my sid have a control surface step A like the V1 had. 5select b, 1edit b, 1 rotary; 2 rotary for CS and 1 button layer. (i must program this last one too).

since i want to ‘shift’ between lead and bassline engine, i can do that only with a shift button. but i haven’t.

so it would be usefull if the edit button, during Main screen, instead ‘no function’ will have ‘shift function’, not?

i don’t know if it’s hard to program, for now i can’t realize, i will try..  8)

That sounds like it would be a good mod, and I can’t think of any reason why it shoudn’t be possible… just find the code for that button press, and check if you are in the correct menu, and call the shift function?

3

It is possible :slight_smile: And it’s not even all that hard.

Some pointers:

  * read my HowTos on the WIKI they cover most of the stuff you’ll need to do

  * cs_menu_buttons.inc is the file you’ll need to edit

thankyou for input, i’m trying to do this and understanding how can i do a toggle button to toggle my 3 new windows, but for me, i must say, it’s not so simple.

i had thought to do all by myself but i think a little help it’s necessary..  :stuck_out_tongue:

i will paste my work at this point, to have some help :slight_smile:

tnx in advice.

p.s. nILS i’ve read all your wiki obviously. all my code born from that ones!

pp.ss. i think i must start from here and here

well i think that i must modify CS_MENU_BUTTON_Exec inserting the code of CS_MENU_BUTTON_Shift or just recall the Shift function right?

i must control that i am in the main menu first, something like

btfsc    CS_MENU, CS_MENU_MAIN

goto    CS_MENU_BUTTON_Shift

and i must use an #if #endif.

don’t kill me for that horrible, i know there is something wrong about last significant bit

-edit-

ok

;; new: shif function activated on MENU button if MAIN MENU dispayed
#if 2
	movf	CS_MENU_MAIN, W
	btfss	CS_MENU, W
	goto	CS_MENU_BUTTON_Shift
#endif

in this way the screen remain in SHIFT mode..  :-\

	movlw	CS_MENU_T_ENTRY_EXEC_OFFSET
	call	CS_MENU_GetMenuTablesPtr
	goto	MIOS_HLP_IndirectJump

different code but same problem. don’t return to main menu on button depressed. i think because of this in CS_MENU_BUTTON_Exec

;; do nothing if button has been depressed
	btfsc	MIOS_PARAMETER2, 0
	return

this is not the right way. too many crossed problems through functions. encoder speed is setting in slow after 1 push.

i think i can wrote a new exec function under cs_menu_exec.inc..

wtf i’m so stupid  ;D

done.

-edit-

this way slow encoder movement don’t work on shift (menu) pressed  :-\

ive been watching this thread.. im gonna try this same thing but with ‘play’ on the menu button as opposed to ‘shift’ ..ill let you know how it goes.

9

i think you can just replace the function. as i can see play have not particular operations that make conflict with menu button.

now, the problem is this:

slow function for encoders work only if shift it’s pressed during main menu and than you turn the CS encoder. slow function remain set ON since you come back to main menu with menu button. otherwise if you push menu button meanwhile you turn an encoder, the speed don’t change.
