Quick Feature Question

MIDIbox SID
1

Is there a menu option to start and hold the 303 sequencer?  My motivation is I want to have my SID have the capability of being a standalone little box to edit sequences while sitting on the couch/etc.  I looked around on the bassline tutorial page and the main SID page and couldn’t unearth a feature such as this, but would like to ask before I delve into the code :).

edit: it looks like it’s accessible via a full control surface by pressing menu and.. whatever the top-left button is on the full CS (from the youtube sid demo).  I’m still wondering if it’s in the menu, though.

Thanks,

Tom

That otion in the menu will be great, but I don’t think is implemented.

It’s implemented: press and hold the SID1..4 button and press the menu button in addition

Sorry, I mean in non full interface. I built a Step A Control Surface

for single SID MBSID, so I don’t have SID buttons.

If anyone else is in my situation (no CS step C / one SID) you can make the following change to the code in order to get this functionality onboard:

in cs_menu_buttons.inc, change the lines:

CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel1
	;; select button #1, set cursor to 1st position
	movlw	0x00
	;; rgoto	CS_MENU_BUTTON_Select_Cont

To the lines:

CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel1
	; ugly hack by th0mas - Sel1 is now also the "SID1" button
	; to allow for play/stop the 303 seq for a step A CS.
	movlw	1 << 0
	call	CS_MENU_BUTTON_SID_Cont    
	;; select button #1, set cursor to 1st position
	movlw	0x00
	;; rgoto	CS_MENU_BUTTON_Select_Cont

Now, if you press Sel1 + Menu (in that order) the 303 seq will start!

This is ugly but as far as I can tell has no adverse affects for a CS Step A.

Thanks th0mas!!

I will try it.
