Great job Thorsten ! I can’t wait to make my midibox work !
I have a small question concerning the Midibox 64E. I know there were some limitations when using banksticks over internal memory with the old PIC design (I can’t recall what they were though)
a good question! The limitation of the PIC16F based firmware was, that the MIDI receiver only captured incoming button events from the internal bank.
With the MIOS version this is no issue anymore, but now the LEDring patterns are only taken from the internal bank. However, since 4 different patterns can be defined, this should be acceptable.
Now, you are limited to 4 configurable patterns which are stored in the flash memory (internal bank). However, this isn’t really a limitation, the Logic Control also supports only 4 different patterns for example.
Can I use the new midio128 for that keyboard controller I mentioned a in a thread a while back?
Basically, I have converted this old keyboard so that the key’s act as switches on 2 bus bars (NO and NC). I was thinking I could connect the key switches to DIN inputs which would trigger the NOTE msgs, and then also have the bus bars contacts connected to 2 DIN inputs with perhaps a timer function implemented in mios (sumhow) so the velocity amount could also be calculated…does this make sense?
Can this be done? Even a basic keyboard without the velocity sensitivity would do
…but I cannot present you the source code within 5 minutes…
10 should be enough surley! Great to hear that it’s possible - are u saying the timer thing i mentioned for the velocity sensitivity is also acheivable?
With a few pointers mebbe I can make this work from my side, be a good one for other diy’ers…
So, we are going to see velocity sensitive keyboard scanning code, but is this going to be MIDIO128 specific?
Something like MB64 with 2 octave keyboard could be great DIY replacement for numerios different small controller keyboards out there…
I also thought about “drum programming MB” - with rubber pads (and piezo) like Akai MPC-series. A lots nicer method than keyboard and no need for special motoric skills like on electric drum pads.. Maybe Admir Salahovics eDrum code could be backported to MIOS form?!
i have started a trigger to midi converter for mios. the code should be able to be pasted into the mb64 code to change some of the pots to trigger inputs.More on this later.
