Parts Questions

HI,

Has anybody used dented encoders on a midibox 64e with any succes?

I’m building a midibox to control ableton live for use for djing.

I want to use non dented encoders for nudging and dented encoders for loop start and end points etc.

Where is the problem with detented encoders? You can change the encoder type in mios_tables.inc.

Yep, no prob.

i’ve decided to use non-dedented encoders in a midibox 64e.

my next problem is i am planning to use pots with this to.  how do i connect both a din module running encoders and a ain module with pots to the core module? they both connect to j6.

… ?

Why don’t connect the DIN to J9?

can i use encoders on j9? i thought it was just for buttons.

Just to make it clear i want use 1 ain module for pots, 1 din module for encoders, 1 din module for buttons and 1 dout module for led’s. can any body please tell me exactly how i would connect these to the core module?i think i’ve got the buttons and led’s sorted but as i understand it both the ain and din with the encoders connect to j9.  i want to use the midibox 64e as this is my first project and i am a bit confused by midio128.

thank you for any help.

This picture will show you where to connect the modules:

(It’s from the MB64 but MB64e connects the same way)

j9 is for din, and since both buttons and encoders use din, both are fine

http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_midibox64e.gif found at http://www.ucapps.de/midibox16e.html should explain how to connect the din and dout and it seems like you already know where to connect the ain
