Thanks for looking into this. So far i've only tested with MIOS studio and was a little irritated by this. I'm looking forward to testing it in a real world setup.

Hi, i get note values instead of numbers when i press aftertouch. [397400.935] d0 64 Chn# 1 Aftertouch E-6 [397400.937] d0 63 Chn# 1 Aftertouch D#6 [397400.938] d0 61 Chn# 1 Aftertouch C#6 [397400.939] d0 60 Chn# 1 Aftertouch C-6 [397400.940] d0 5e Chn# 1 Aftertouch A#5 [397400.942] d0 5c Chn# 1 Aftertouch G#5 [397400.943] d0 59 Chn# 1 Aftertouch F-5 [397400.944] d0 42 Chn# 1 Aftertouch F#3 [397400.945] d0 16 Chn# 1 Aftertouch a#1 [397400.946] d0 14 Chn# 1 Aftertouch g#1 [397400.947] d0 00 Chn# 1 Aftertouch c-2 Here my NGC config EVENT_AINSER id=6 type=Aftertouch chn= 1 range=0:127 offset=0 ports=1000100000001000 lcd_pos=1:1:1 label="^std_aser" Shouldn't it look like this? (note the numbers after Aftertouch) [397400.943] d0 59 Chn# 1 Aftertouch 21 [397400.944] d0 42 Chn# 1 Aftertouch 34 [397400.945] d0 16 Chn# 1 Aftertouch 57 [397400.946] d0 14 Chn# 1 Aftertouch 29 [397400.947] d0 00 Chn# 1 Aftertouch 16 Thanks in advance!

Very nice, thanks again. Will give it a try.

Works too, thanks. I've a question regarding the range of kb_transpose. I'm planning to have a transposition range of +/- 2 octaves. I assume kb_transpose stepping is laid out in half tones, so it would look like -24, -12, 0, 12, 24. But this will not work as negative values seem to be forbidden. Any idea how to achieve this?

Thank you Thorsten! May i ask how i can call another section from inside a section. if ^section == 1 RunSection:2 endif if ^section == 2 endif Edit: Sorry, just found it myself. exec_meta does the trick

Hi. I want to implement octave up/down buttons as found on many midi keyboards. I've read the NGR documentation and can't find a way to either read the value of kb_transpose or declare a global custom variable instead. The custom var would be used to store the current transpose value and in if-else statements inside the NGR script. Do i have to setup a dummy element and use its value as my custom variable? If yes, how do i do this? Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thank you very much @FantomXR Are 8 SRs in use because the DIO module is configured as a matrix for keyboard scanning? I don't properly understand what these parameters mean: KEYBOARD n=1 rows=8 dout_sr1=1 dout_sr2=2 din_sr1=1 din_sr2=2 Looks like there are 4 SRs (2 in / 2 out) in use or is it only two? What does dout_sr1=1 mean? Is 1 an unique identifier?

Thank you very much @TK. I'll give it a try later. I'm a little baffled how the SRs and IDs relate to each other and would like to understand how you determined that emu_din_sr/emu_dout_sr must be 9 (and the IDs continue at 65). Does the KEYBOARD config occupy 64 IDs somehow? Is there something to read in the docs about that?

Here is my simplified NGC. (NGR posted above) I removed everything not related to the remaining problem (enabled and dimmed LEDs). If upload this config both LEDs are lit and dimmed. But when i uncomment KEYBOARD n=1 ... all J5A related scripts work as expected. Could there be a conflict regarding the shift registers? # Reset to default RESET_HW # KEYBOARD hardware KEYBOARD n=1 rows=8 dout_sr1=1 dout_sr2=2 din_sr1=1 din_sr2=2 din_inverted=1 break_inverted=0 din_key_offset=32 \ scan_velocity=1 scan_optimized=0 note_offset=36 \ delay_fastest=5 delay_fastest_black_keys=0 delay_slowest=100 EVENT_KB id=1 type=NoteOn chn=1 key=any use_key_number=1 range=0:127 lcd_pos=1:1:1 label="Note %n" # J5A PORT SETUP # J5.A0 -> octave up switch # J5.A1 -> octave up LED # J5.A2 -> octave down switch # J5.A3 -> octave down LED # now enable DIOs (0 = input / 1 = output) DIO port=J5AB emu_din_sr=1 emu_dout_sr=1 output_mask=01010000 # button events (DIN SR1 pins are assigned to hw_id=1/3) EVENT_BUTTON id=1 hw_id=1 type=CC chn=1 cc=16 range=0:127 fwd_id=LED:2 EVENT_BUTTON id=2 hw_id=3 type=CC chn=1 cc=17 range=0:127 fwd_id=LED:4 #EVENT_BUTTON id=1 hw_id=1 type=Meta meta=RunSection:1 button_mode=OnOnly #EVENT_BUTTON id=2 hw_id=3 type=Meta meta=RunSection:2 button_mode=OnOnly # LED events (DOUT SR1 pins are assigned to hw_id=2/4) EVENT_LED id=3 hw_id=2 type=CC chn=1 cc=16 range=0:127 EVENT_LED id=4 hw_id=4 type=CC chn=1 cc=17 range=0:127

Ok, i got it working. I just quit MIOS Studio, disconnected the core and than restarted everything. There is some strange stuff going when i edit and save NGC/NGR scripts in MIOS Studio. It looks like sometimes the core is not restarted/refreshed correctly. I've no idea what the problem is.

I removed all other configs and tried to link the buttons to NGR scripts for testing purposes, which was not successful. NGC EVENT_BUTTON id=1 hw_id=1 type=Meta meta=RunSection:1 button_mode=OnOnly EVENT_BUTTON id=2 hw_id=3 type=Meta meta=RunSection:2 button_mode=OnOnly NGR if ^section == 0 LOG "NGR script running..." endif if ^section == 1 LOG "NGR section 1" endif if ^section == 2 LOG "NGR section 2" endif The RunSections are not triggered.

Since i already have configurations for DIO Matrix (keyboard) and AINSER8 modules (these modules are currently not connected to the core), could it be that there are conflicts related to emu_din_sr/emu_dout_sr? When i press the buttons connected to J5A note on/off events are triggered. Edit: uncommenting EVENT_KB stops those random note triggers.. really strange

Thanks Thorsten. When i uncomment all events, the LEDs are still lit. It's strange.

I'm afraid pressing one of the switches to test them. I fear something will short and the core explodes. Can that happen or is it save?

Just tried it. Both LEDs are lit up and look dimmed. Does the dimming occure due to emulated SR? Otherwise i think the LEDs should be off and only light up when a button is pressed with my config. Maybe i'm wrong. Here is my config # J5A PORT SETUP # J5.A0 -> octave up switch # J5.A1 -> octave up LED # J5.A2 -> octave down switch # J5.A3 -> octave down LED # now enable DIOs (0 = input / 1 = output) DIO port=J5AB emu_din_sr=1 emu_dout_sr=1 output_mask=01010000 # button events (DIN SR1 pins are assigned to hw_id=1/3) EVENT_BUTTON id=1 hw_id=1 type=CC chn=1 cc=16 range=0:127 fwd_id=LED:3 EVENT_BUTTON id=2 hw_id=3 type=CC chn=1 cc=17 range=0:127 fwd_id=LED:4 # LED events (DOUT SR1 pins are assigned to hw_id=2/4) EVENT_LED id=3 hw_id=2 type=CC chn=1 cc=16 range=0:127 EVENT_LED id=4 hw_id=4 type=CC chn=1 cc=17 range=0:127

Awesome! Thank you very much @TK. I'll give it a try.

I very much appreciate your help @TK. It would be very nice of you if you would add these new options. I mean, it can't get any more complicated ;) Will i be able to change kb_transpose and enable/disable indicator LEDs reflecting the current value of kb_transpose if you are ready? It looks like If-else statements are supported in NGR.

That's true. I omitted that part in my example. But i already got the two LEDs working following the 008_j5_outputs tutorial. But this was only to test if its working at all. If there is no better solution i suppose i have to use two different strategies at the same time. One for the switches using NGR scripts and another for the LEDs using custom code. The LED handler would only read (get) kb_transpose, not alter it. But yeah, sounds like some dirty hack in the end. If you could add digital IO support that would be very nice. I assume others would like that addition too. Do you think you could do it?

Thanks @TK. i already made a board that connects to a single J5 port. It has two LEDs and two tact switches on it. If i understand correctly the LEDs can't be controlled via NGR. So i need to do that via custom code? Maybe using the 006_rtos_tasks tutorial as implementation guide. I've already written some pseudo code here: If this is the correct way of doing it, i'd need to know how to the get kb_transpose value.

As i use tact switches: will this also work for tact switches or toggle switches only? Does the ain_fsr.gc example take care of the tact switch issue using " filter delay of 20 mS " ? Sorry, i'm a little overwhelmed by all of this. Edit: i also need to enable/disable two status LEDs connected to J5a/b.

Hi Thorsten, thank you for your reply. I want to trigger transpose changes via hardware switches connected to J5a/b core ports. As i understand it, it is not possible to assign these switches in ngr/ngc scripts. Or is this still possible? Here is my original post about it:

Hi, i'm too dump to understand how the NG apps works internally. I want to change the keyboard transpose parameter within the NG app, but can't figure out how to do it. There seems to be an event system where the kb_transpose parameter is used, but i've no idea where its value comes from and how i can change that value. It looks like this parameter can be changed via .ngr script (set_kb_transpose) though. But that doesn't help me i suppose. I'm simply lost. Thanks in advance Edit. i've already posted about it here:

It looks like kb_transpose is stored in mbng_event as Where are the "event items" generated?

Hi. i'd appreciate some help understanding how the NG app works. I want to transpose (octave up/down) a keyboard, but don't understand where the respective variable is stored and how i can change its value. In MBNG_KB_NotifyToggle (mbng_kb.c) line 173 i found this: s8 kb_transpose = (s8)item.custom_flags.KB.kb_transpose; This appears to be the place where the transpose value is added to the actual note pressed. Is this correct? How can i change kb_transpose myself? Thank you very much

The 006_rtos_tasks tutorial should help me to understand where to put my custom code, right?
