midi cha in GPC mode

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

Hey…

Is it possible to change the midi channel the GPC layer sends it CC’s via…? I’ve got round the way to include the GPC feature in logic whilst using it as a LC at the same time, however - when not on the GPC layer and turning the v-pots (in LC mode) i get CC 1 and 65 msgs still - i’ve filtered out everything except CC’s in midi-ox…

So all i need now is to setup GPC cc’s on it’s own midi channel and all will be good :slight_smile:

However, would it be possible to have the button that activates the GPC layer to send a midi msg of some sort at the same time when pressed? Then a switch could be made up in logic,  so a sep midi cha for gpc wudnt even be needed :slight_smile:

sorry Dan, I can’t answer that, but how do you get to use the GPC layer anyway??

Hi Dan,

the events which are used in GPC mode can be configured in mios_tables.inc, the strings in lc_gpc_lables.inc

Ok, and the new release of MIDIbox LC allows to send a MIDI event when entering/leaving this mode:

http://www.ucapps.de/tmp/mios_v1_3b4.syx.zip

This version provides also LED meters and a software controlled MIDI Tx/Rx LED.

LED digits are not supported yet, since I have to add some hardware to my box in order to test this feature (can take a while)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hey TK

Awesome work :slight_smile:

I dont think any further fiddling with midi-ox/midiyoke is even needed now. After trying out this new LC firmware, gpc mode seems to be working fine :smiley:

Steve, this from io_tables.inc:

#define ID_MBLC_SWITCH_GPC      0x95      ; switch to General Purpose Controller mode (like radiobutton)
#define ID_MBLC_TOGGLE_GPC      0x96      ; like a "caps lock" key
#define ID_MBLC_HOLD_GPC            0x97      ; like a common "shift" key

Then when u enter this mode, ur v-pots turn into regular CC controllers and the jogdial allows you to go up or down the CC chain to let u control all 127 cc’s from the 8 v-pots :slight_smile:
