Hi everybody,
i have some question about controlling these
“current instrument” parametes via NRPN:
How do i change which is the “current” one in different engines?
According to the manual:
"…the final destination depends on the selection on the control
surface, or on the MIDI channel…"
I tried different midi channels and also
all edit screens, but its allways controlling instrument 1
Thanks for help

Hi Marxon,
according to the way how you are asking I assume that you noticed that the current instrument selection isn’t working in Multi mode?
I looked into the source code - according to the comments I planned to add a special handling for Multi mode, but the code is missing (instead the L/R selection will be taken, but this makes only sense for Lead/Bassline/Drum engine).
Or did you notice something else?
The MIDI channel will only be considered during the SID selection.
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Hi TK,
thanks for your reply!

Ok i really have not described my problem very well. But i´ve forgotten your comments about multimode, too 
I like to control the drum engine instruments.
So i mapped the “current parameters” NRPN 32 - 40 on my midi controller but dont know
how to select different instruments.

I will fix this soon, because I would like to control the parameters from a controller (Lemur on iPad) as well! 
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Wow sounds great!
Thanks!

Hi again TK,
did you made some progress with the current instrument selection?
I know you work very much, so dont feel stressed
Best regards
Marxon
got the reminder!
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Hi again TK,
i dont want to get on your nerves 
but
is this “current instrument” thing still on your todo list?
Best regards
Marxon
I’m currently not so much into assembly programming… but thanks for the reminder - at least before new year I will clean up the open topics
Best Regards, Thorsten.

Two good news at once 
I also cant await the release of Midibox NG :frantics:

YAR - Yet another reminder
But once again:
dont feel stressed
noticed
Btw: the NRPN handling for Multi Patches is fixed in V2.043
Hallo wiedermals,
gleiches Anliegen anderer Lösungsansatz:
könnte man nicht einfach im Sequenzer (Midirouter) eine spezielle SidDrum Destination erstellen,
die alle empfangenen current Instrument Parameter der Drum Engine (Attack, Decay…)
zum aktiven, im Sequenzner ausgewählten Drum Instrument “umroutet”?
Aber ich vermute, dass ich mir das zu einfach vorstelle…

The NRPN issue is finally fixed in v2.043
For drums I’ve currently no solution - it needs some time to work this out so that it works properly for all usecases (not only your own usecase that you mentioned…)
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Hi TK,
you implemented a lot new CCs for the Bassline, Drum and Multi Engine.
Did you also find a solution for the current instrument thing?
Best regards
Marxon
no, but I take this as a reminder…
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Hi Thorsten!
no, but I take this as a reminder…
…the fourth one
But it´s Ok!
You work very much on your awesome MIDIbox project anyway!
Best regards
Marxon
…YAR for TK (yet another reminder)
Best regards
Marxon
It’s still on my TODO list, but with low prio because you are the only guy who requested this yet
Best Regards, Thorsten.
I just remember that I have (due your tip with the MidiRex) a unused LPC core.
Maybe i build a small MidiboxNG with:
-1 encoder to select the current instrument
-8 Encoders for the drum parameters
-some buttons to select the drum model
Or even better would be to use the Sid encoders itself.
I imagine something like this
What do you think about it?
Best regards
Marxon
EDIT:
Maybe it´s better to move this post to the MidiboxNG section.
