Well, hello everyone, I am Milton from Argentina, I am actually making my own customized midibox. I have looked threw all the forum, but i could not find the answers.
Question 1: I would like to know if there are any posibilities to put a MIDI vumeter or leds next to one slide pot so the leds turn on when I move them up and turn off when I move down; like this video.
Question 2: I will use this midi controller to perform live sets with Ableton Live, I also use turntables with TCVĂ´s (Time Coded Vinyls), so the second question is: Can I synchronize my midibox and ableton with vinyls? Is there any way to create a MIDI Synchronizer? I looked threw the internet, and other expensive posibility is to buy a SOUNBITE MICRO by Red Sound.
I am sorry if I bother anyone with this stupid questions, canĂ´t wait to finish my MB64.

Yes for sure its quite easy to program this in C for MIOS I can help you for this if u need

Great IdeaâŚsome friends of me thinked about this also for Traktor-DJ-StudioâŚcause maybe i need this idea to getting finished the Scratch-function for the Traktorizer
Stay tunedâŚwe are on itâŚbut no time in the momentâŚtoo many midiboxed to finish ;D

P.S.: If u need my contact,I can PM you my ICQ-Nr.
1- If you click on the left side there is a button that says MIDI CHANNEL SELECTION, what is this button used for in ableton live? Can I also apply that button for my midi box?
2- Also on the right there is a tempo control and a push/pull sprin, how does it work?
hmmm, when using an ain (with audio input) and programming the code to detect the peaks you could calculate the bpm and send it via midi. but i donât know if the pic has enough power to do. Would be a good idea (unfortunatly a lot of programming?).
Whats that button for? its to change the outgoing midichannel of the xone. Nothing more
dj3nk whatâs up with the advertising in your sig?
For BPM detection nothing beats the Red Sound V2 engineâŚ
Simply detecting peaks wonât work because beats and peaks donât always match. If you want to do beat detection consider 3+ frequency bands and a separate detection on each band and an engine to analyse the correspondence in peaks in the individual bands. Definitely too much for our humble PIC
I have found the way to synchronize ableton with your decks!!!
It is so easy that i still canĂ´t beilive it!!! :o :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The tool name is push/pull , it only uses 4 buttons from your midi controller (you can also asign keyboard), one button for + pitch bend , one for - pitch bend, another for + tempo adjust, the last one for - tempo adjust.
Here is a text with the full specifications (it is in spanish) and a video configuration in english.
wellâŚthis push and pull program looks cool. can anyone familiar with live confirm that this is the best solution for synching live with turntables. i would prefer to work from within live without any 3rd party software but this seems like a good solution.
well, i just installed it and my first go i mixed live over my vinyl with no problems at all!!!
this thing looks like its awesome, easy to link up to midi controller aswell. i wonder if its possible to use a pot instead of just pushing and holding a button down to âpush and pullâ the music.
I SUPPOSE THAT YOU CAN USE AN ENCODER FOR THE PITCH BEND, I AM PLANNING TO ADD A SILICONE JOG WHEEL WITH BLUE ULTRA BRIGHT LEDS TO CONTROL THE ENCODER. AND ANOTHER ONE FOR PROJECT TEMPO CONTROL.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? OF THIS IDEA? I THINK IT SHOULD WORK
I have another question, what is the purpouse of the bank stick? can i use it to change the midi channels and work with the same pots and slides for different channels?, do I have to buy another module besides the core 1 din 1 dout & 1 ain that my MB64 needs??
Is it difficult to configure it? i have 4 channels, and I would like them to change when I press any of the 3 buttons I will use for the bank stick
No need for apologies, especially to me! It was merely a hint on the etiquette round here.
Canât help you on the bankstick Iâm afraid - never built oneâŚ
What I do know is that it connects to J4 on the core and youâll need to build a bankstick module - i.e. the actual bank stick and wire up a 9 Pin Sub D female connector on your boxâŚ
