V01.0 is up and Running >>> [160117_TM4BLM_V01.0.zip](< base_url >/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=12524)
old versions:
BLM-Scalar-Communication: BLM-UI @ skelleton level… no Midiprocessing @ all but some basic Matrix-Userinterface Code (for programmers only…stripped down a bit…)>>> 160110_blm_scalar_communication.zip
first a view vocables:
TM short for TriggerMatrix? >
BLM16x16x short for ButtonLedMatrix? >
Usage? >
The Trigger Matrix is the Midi-Center in my Live-Music-Equipment, it interconnect follwing Device-groups:
I will remote my Triggermatrix-Project via the BLM16x16x, they are comunicating together via Midi:
Programming-Equipment:
BLM Layout 4 the Perform-Mode, the 2nd Mode is the EDIT-Mode, where i can change the Trigger-Routing (not displayed here)
Melody Retrigger, take the incoming Melody Notes from the Keyboard and trigger it with the Incoming DrumTriggers
Drum-Trigs are simple Trigger-Routes
The 4 Pots on the BLM are not used (since i removed them)
2x 2x40LCD + 17 Encoders + 2 Buttons are the UI 4 the TM, the rest is controlled via BLM
thx to TK and his BLM-Driver… it works simple and fast as hell now… also code is reduced much…factor 50 or more…
work in process
UI-Updates on the TriggerMatrix-Side:
from a bulk-order i have more then enough 2x40? LCDs…good point to make something with it
use this crimp-able Connectors:
1st Display (up), Deep edit things - like give the track a name, or change the ProgramChange-Bank, or load tracks, or LiveSets (in Future)
2nd Display (down), Fast Access -Performance, like Random-Kill, Decay-Time, Velocity Offset - there are 2x4 Encoder because, i split the whole output-Matrix in 2 Parts:
Line0: Melody Retrigger-Parts (Bass, Lead, Space Synths, Samplers)
Line1: Mono Retrigger-Parts (for Drums, Filters usw)
i want to perform them separately, with much space for my fingers…a 2x4 LED-Bar-Encoder Board would be nice instead!
since i had a MB-SEQ-CS-PCB many years now - unused, without any case or frontpanel…
i decidet to hold it and use it
i programm now a TriggerMatrix version for a more generic UI… so other people can “reUse” it, i skip my prototype UI.
BLM16x16+x ( )
MB-SEQ-CS ( )
MB-LRE8x2CS ( )
To adapt my code i had to find out the pin-out of the new UI… here is the result:

programming setup:
a jam session with the old UI:
Triggermatrix as DrumSequencer, Trigger-Router, Melody-Retrigger > Soundengine: Nord3(efx), NordDrum2, KorgER2
2x Boss RC300 as Loopstation for Melody Loops (Subouts are routed to my filterdistortionADR-Drumtriggered-device…)
LiveGituar on a Gutiarsynth RC20 (that makes them etnical sounds, no not the drums they are typical NordDrum2 yesss)
Looks like a really nice setup! Also good work on the BLM reimagination.
