MIDI Out on sammichSID?

MIDIbox SID

Hi,

I‘m troubleshooting my MIDI setup and I’d like to know whether sammichSID is passing incoming MIDI to its MIDI Out (like a MIDI Thru basically). If not: what MIDI data is being send out of the MIDI Out and is there any way to turn the MIDI Out into a MIDI Thru?

Thanks!

Hi,

no, sammichSID (and MIDIbox SID V2) doesn’t provide a “MIDI Thru” function. The reason is, that the CPU is already quite busy controlling the sounds.

Forwarding MIDI messages wouldn’t be possible without random delays in mS range. Sounds are also not controlled so tight anymore, depending how many messages have to be forwarded.

MIDI Out is used to communicate via SysEx with external editors such as Ctrlr: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_ed.html

And the original MIDIbox SID V2 uses it to optionally send CC messages on parameter changes to record and later replay

Best Regards, Thorsten.
