  1. Audioengine Controller

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Posted · Edited by novski

    Hi

    I hope i get some answers because i can't manage this alone. (And i try to keep my posts together because i don't want to mess around in this forum...)

    I finally decided to work with the MM V2 Application. Unfortunately SAC uses many functions by increasing the Rotary Selector Rotary. (well thats hard to describe witch one i mean... please, see attachment photo. )

    So basically what i need to do is by pressing a Button i need a possibility to set the right Selection of Mode first.

    So for a Sample: if i want to activate my Compressor i need to Virtually turn the Selector Rotary first to the "Comp Mode" and then press the Button 5. (in Normal use of MMv2 thats the Select Chanel 5 Button)

    How can i do that in my Software? And is that Selector Rotary defined as "MM_VPOT" in the Application?

    Thanks a lot for any Help

    best regards

  3. Upcoming MBHP_MF_NG module

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Posted

    HI

    Im working on a almost equal Fadermodul for SAC from RML and there it is possible to chain a maximum of three CM MotorMix on one Midi port by exchanging the eeprom. This is a copy of the Help for MM:

    >>

    CMA MotorMix Control Surface (Top)

    The MotorMix LCD display is used to show parameter and channel labels in the various selection modes. Pan mode is used as the default mode to display channel numbers or labels for the current bank.

    Alternate midi controller templates are included to allow two MotorMix controllers to be used at the same time for 16 channels of control or three controllers for 24 channels. The MotorMix units must be upgraded with a new internal ROM chip available from MotorMix in order for this to work. When ganged together and turned ON, each controller will set itself to a different midi chan. (chan-1 and chan-2 etc).

    The surface can be made to chase SAC's Hot Chan by using one of the Mixer Menu Midi Hardware Controller Link options.

    If using a single controller make sure it is transmitting and receiving on MIDI channel 1 to ensure compatibility with this template.

    <<

    Did you know that?

    For my plans this would be a very interesting option...

    best regards

  4. Least clicky 6mm buttons for BLM

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    HI

    I just found your post from last year findbuddha.

    Can you tell me how this turned out?

    I'm building a application for a live sound venue and need quiet buttons. I ordered a sample of 3FTL6 from Reichelt but that makes ruffly 81dB-peak@1m and i can't find a way to order the announced quiet version.

  6. no connection to Core8

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    My Core8 has a strange behavior. I noticed that the connection suddenly didn't work during a test phase on a LC Project.

    now as soon as i start the Core8 with nothing connected accept the Display it shows MIOS v1.9g © 2009 T.Klose and seams to run normal. But MIOS Studio can't connect.

    And as soon as the Query process is done, the Core8 Display shows: Rebooting MIOS. (that doesn't happens if i change the ID number to a wrong one.)

    The display shows this after Booting:

    -------- xxxx

    ........

    whats going on with my lovely core?

    Thank you philetaylor for that explanation on the functions of the GUI.

    I now have a total different question.

    I realized that i will not be able to ad more Faders than 8+1 in my approach because the Midi functions are restricted in this Program i use (softwareaudioconsole). The only Midi Template that provides more than 8 Faders including the Canelstrip functions is MotorMix. (i can't assign Functions. Instead i select a fix Template file from the manufactory...)

    noooow. my shy question now is: is it possible to transfer the MM Protocol from the midibox_MM to the MF_NG? :-)

    Yes!

    I'm sorry for the delay of testing that.

    I now tested to contact the sensor T0 to fader number 1 and activated the "Like previous, but additionally no fader event as long as sensor not pressed" preset. And now it doesn't tremble anymore.

    Thats a solution to my question.

    can you declare me what those other parameters are for?

    1. PWM Steps

    2. AIN Deadband

    3. MF Deadband

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Pyjaman

    Thanks for that advice. I that about that. But Live Music Business is a Ruff thing, especially to gear.

    What if that wire falls off in the Truck that carries it to the Show Venue? I wanted to know "if" it is possible to flatten that a little bit IN the software to prevent of getting in trouble.

    Do you Program by your own? Maybe you can answer me that... (I'm not practiced in Software at al...)

  14. Core8 - DIN, Module Interconnection Test v2

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    HI

    I tried the Interconnectiontest of the DIN / DOUT Board, but can't understand it.

    By Measuring RC/SC on J8 & 9 on the Core (after restarting Core with App.) i measure 4.8V on al 4 Pins.

    SO and SI are 0V.

    VD=0

    VS=4.97

    MIOS Studio displays that:

    [243466.784] SRIO Interconnection Test

[243466.795] =========================

[243466.806] Please play a note on any MIDI channel.

[243466.822] Pin J8:*****DO*****set to 5V, J8:SC/J9:SC and J8:RC/J9:RC set to 0V. Pin J9:SI reads Logic-1 (ca. 5V).

    So, something seams wrong doesn't it?

    And my second question is, what does that "DO" (stars in Codesnipet) mean?

    The only DO i can find on the schematics is on J15...

    How can i test my Core with one DIN board correctly?

    Thanks!

    Then i thought that it might be, because i have the latest Xcode 4.xy installed and should have version 2. But Apple does not provide Xcode 2 anymore. Xcode 2.3 is the latest version they list in the Developer Center. Does Verion 2.3 work for MIOS Programingas well?

    Which version is best?

    Thanks

    Hi TK

    I checked my Fader and printed out the Data-sheet from Alps and found out that it is Linear. I measured it to go sure and measured at halfway 5k so it has to be fine...

    Then i checked on the input voltage. It is 11.74V by running NG module.

    Then i thought about your advice to not use cheap MIDI - USB Interfaces and that i installed the App before knowing that. So i installed the App again and now its gone! it works really smoot on fading.

    Then i recognised that touching the housing of the alps fader makes the module send midi. I see the LED on my Fireface blinking by touching the housing but not by touching the faderneck (metal T-peace). In fact it makes the virtual fader of my program jump between +/-0.25 and +/-0.75 dB. I figured out that it is possible to interrupt those jumps by grounding the housing of the Fader. But thats not so simple because there is no soldering point or so on the housing it self.

    Is there a way to flatten that trembling in the software?

    I have a problem i can't manage by my own.

    As soon as i connect to my SAC and move the fader to top, by reaching over Middle the fader starts to move from alone to the top and then by fading down over the middle it starts to go to bottom by its self. (after the Middle...)

    I can't figure out what those words/possibilities mean:

    MinDutyUp

    MaxDutyUp

    Fader witch should be traced

    AIN Deadband

    MF Deadband

    does anybody have a config file for a ALPS RSAON11M9? so i can compare...

    I use just one Fader and the other connections A1-7 are connected to ground.

    -And, :whistle: is it normal that i can't touch the Stab IC. LM317 / 7805 because of heat? I tried 8V and 5V on D2 the head does not change...

    Thanks

    Thanks! I'm glad that you got it working! :)

    Note that the error isn't really at Tim's side, it's a more a conversion or documentation problem.

    Probably you specified the device ID in hexadecimal format (0x12), which is 18 in decimal format (as selectable in MIOS Studio)

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

    Ufff. yes of course!

    thx

    TK i wold like to thank you for your help and that Project. I just got a fader running under SAC within some hours. Thats just unbelievable!

    There are several steps to go, to get the Remote i need. But I'm really happy right now.

    You are great!

    I would like to know if you've upload the MBHP_MF_NG firmware via MIOS Studio?

    (I assume that MIOS V1.9g is already installed, so that you can directly upload the app)

    If not, nothing will work, because no application is installed...

    Yes, unused analog inputs have to be connected to ground.

    The unused digital inputs (touch sensor inputs) can be left open.

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

    Hi TK!

    Yes, the sticker on top of my PIC lets me know that there is MIOS 1.9g installed. (i hope this is so...)

    I tried to connect to MIOS Studio but it doesn't get response from the module.

    I tried The CORE as well as the MF_NG.

    The Midi interface i have is from Conrad. A single USB to Midi IN/OUT cable and the out LED on top of the Interface list up when i press Query.

    Strange is that the Status LED does not light up. What is nessasary to make it light up? Just Firmware ore App as well?

    Thank you.

    I have a Problem with my brand new MF_NG V1. I Assembled it two days ago and can't get it running. All the Voltages on IC 1-9 are correct and i can't find any mistake on the Board. I got one of the first MF_NG Kits from SmashTV and Tim bruned my PIC to ID 12. Now when i connect my 12V current to J1 the fader (i just connected one...) flips down, but the status LED never lights up.

    I found a sheet that describes on a CORE to connect al Fader outputs to ground if there are not used connections. May i have to do that with the MF_NG module as well? If yes, what do i do with the open connections of the touch sensors?
