as i had/have a little bit problems understanding the powerfull software/firmware structure of the midibox i thought that we could start a new thread as a little guide (not too technicaly detailed) for a better understanding what’s going on in your box.
the was influenced as i didn’t really understand how to work with the bankstick. so i just made a image about the software structure on the pic. would be nice if you could tell me if i’m right with my view of the things
so what i really would like to know is following: i want to make different configurations with the midibox64.ini in the mk_syx package. that’s no problem for me. i can also upload it via midiox. but how do i upload them to a specific bank. for now it’s only transfered to the general bank of the pic.
special function buttons - but they are part of the SysEx dump, and therefore not available so long you haven’t defined it in the midibox64.ini file
a Program Change command via MIDI Channel 16 (can be sent with MIDI-Ox)
a SysEx command via MIDI-Ox (F0 00 00 7E 43 08 <bank-number> F7 — the first bank number is 00)
A sysex dump will always be loaded into the current bank. So, to make it easy for you: just use the SysEx command for bank switching, and upload the .syx file into the bank thereafter.
ok… now i have corrected everything. had connected it wrong. but it doesn’t work at all. i started a new thread about this in testing/troubleshooting section.
when i send the bank change string i only get back a list of single events from every controller
