Problem with bankstick bank-switching

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

I’ve got a little problem getting the bank stick bank-switching to work on my MidiBox 64.  I have a row of 16 buttons on my box which I want to assign as bank-switch buttons.  I also have two buttons which I want to assign increment/decrement bank feature.

So I edited my configuration file like this:

# bankstick bank 1-16 buttons
    9   =  FF 02 00  @OnOff
    10  =  FF 02 01  @OnOff
    11  =  FF 02 02  @OnOff
    12  =  FF 02 03  @OnOff
    13  =  FF 02 04  @OnOff
    ..etcetera...

and

# bankstick bank +/- buttons
    47  =  FF 02 10  @OnOnly  # Save, Decrement Bank without overflow, Restore
    48  =  FF 02 12  @OnOnly  # Save, Increment Bank without overflow, Restore

When I press one of the buttons, the display shows me

Robins bank

Act. Bank: 1

But the bank does not change!  :(

When I switch banks within the midibox menu, everything works perfectly… What’s wrong?

Hi Robin,

thanks for the input - I just found an error in the mb64_sfb.inc file (the same error exists in the MIDIbox64E and MIDIbox MF application).

Quickfix: open this file, search for MB64_SFB_Handler_02 (or go directly to line 86) and change:

     ;; branch to the end if no bankstick available
      IFSET      MB_STAT, MB_STAT_USE_BANKSTICK, rgoto MB64_SFB_Handler_02_Msg

to:

     ;; branch to the end if no bankstick available
      IFCLR      MB_STAT, MB_STAT_USE_BANKSTICK, rgoto MB64_SFB_Handler_02_Msg

hope that this helps!

Best Regards, Thorsten.
