    Posted · Edited by slo

    @Hawkeye I have never seen those tutorials before! don't know how I missed that, there is a wealth of info there. Following the tutorial the transpose works, under the scheme laid out in the tutorial. I will try the Root method next and report back. Thanks!

    Can someone please confirm that the transpose function is actually working, I'm having a fight getting it working properly. Using G1T1 Root with static notes and Chord parameters into BUS 1, mode on normal, G1T2 track (bassline) mode on Transpose, Note set to First. Settings in Midi/T&A seem to be correct. The output is just octaves of C. I did have this working quite awhile ago, but I cannot get it going now.

  3. Trying to display past value.

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    Noob here trying to come up with a scheme to display past values alongside current active values from an encoder.
    The code below demonstrates the problem I'm having. Setting encoder 1 in bank 2 and then switching back between banks produces the desired result, but in bank 1 it looks like the past value is getting over written so encoder 1 bank 1 is not displayed. Using a SSD 1306 display. Below is the .ngc ,ngr .ngl
    I need a better scheme or hints to the path forward. Thanks.

  4. Correct way to switch off LED_MATRIX

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted · Edited by slo
    typo

    I have started a small project with a LRE8x2 and I have run into a problem where LED rings stay on after bank switching.

    I am using this .NGR code to deactivate all encoders then only activate the ones I want to use. Can someone confirm this is the correct usage of this line? It seems to work. 

    set_active (id)ENC:1..16 0

     Problem is when switching from say bank 3 to bank 1 and bank 1 uses fewer encoders, the LED matrix stays on for the inactivate encoders with its last value from the previous bank. Ideally, I'd like to switch off all LED rings and then only the ones I need will be activated from the .NGC script. Could a similar line of code could do it in the .NGR?

  7. Adressing devices with USB OTG

    Thanks. what I got is that you just used a different cable?

    What worked for me was because I’m using a powered hub to power the seq I had to remove the data pins from the port that powers the seq. I’m suspecting the hub was generating some interference on these lines and corrupting the OTG input.

    Hope that helps

  11. Bug when changing layer assignment in drum track?

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    I notice if you set LayB to Ctrl while you are setting up the track and then INIT, LayB reverts back to Roll. 

    This is from the changelog:

    Quote
    • New parameter layer "Ctrl" allows to change track parameters as documented in the doc/mbseqv4_cc_implementation.txt table (previously this was only possible from a dedicated loopback track).

    It seems like it is buggy, I got the same result as OP but I usually set up a drum track and never touch it again, changing the number of parameters/steps will result in loosing the track because it needs to be INIT again to be setup for the new values resulting in all input being lost.

  13. New editor for MB SEQ V4+ under development

    I tried running this and got this error. I know nothing about Python but thought it would be interesting to give it a try. On a Win10 computer I installed Python then PyCharm and then installed the required ttkthenmes from PyCharm. The program ran and the window opens all tabs etc. It works but it will not open a sdcard, I just get this error. Should it run from this setup or should I try on a Linux dist?

  15. MBSEQV4L Live recording issue

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    Looks like it should work, all leds are behaving correctly. Did you try to reflash the firmware? And maybe look at the monitor windows in MIOS for incoming and outgoing notes. The messages about remote access might be a clue, but I don’t know if the V4L has remote access like the SeqV4+ has.

    This is my staring point. It works but the type=NoteOn parameter in the EVENT_SENDER line needs replacing with something to allow all midi events to pass. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here

    This one is especially useful in conjunction with EVENT_RECEIVER for converting or just 1:1 forwarding incoming MIDI event values.

    I'm trying to code a simple switcher in NG and find myself stuck. 4 buttons just select a synth on a channel, but I can't find the Event_Sender setting that will allow all midi events to pass through as stated in the .NGC document. 

  22. Troubleshooting midiphy SEQ v4+

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    Hi Andy
    Here's the controllers I'm testing with. Oxygen 8 V2, Samson Graphite M25, Keystation 61es. The first 2 worked in my V4 setup, I installed a switch that put the core into host mode by grounding the sense pin on the core micro USB, and I could flash the core with updates switching from host to slave through the same USB port.
    Seeing and selecting a controller in MIOS could be normal. Things are still the same with the computer out of the picture though, the problem remains that the V4+ does not go into host mode.

  23. Troubleshooting midiphy SEQ v4+

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    I'm trying to understand why my SeqV4+ OTG does not work. There is no activity on USB1 in the midi monitor
    With the switch is in the up position I can flash the core.  With the controller plugged into USB A port and the switch down, no midi activity
    The jumper (J8) is in place and my controller is powered
    The seq settings are correct and if I plug the controller into the midi port IN1 it's working and recording from the controller

    I'm powering the Seq from a powered USB hub connected to the USB B port and a computer and interestingly the midi data is being passed from the USB A port (controller) to USB B (hub) and you can view the controller midi data in MIOS Studio.

    I have tried 3 different controllers, no midi activity on USB.
