  4. split Dout Matrix digits/"normal" leds

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    unfortunately I can't support this. A SR which is serviced by the matrix code will always be fully allocated, otherwise very time consuming read-modify-write operations on the DOUT array would be required (32 times due to the dim feature!), which affects the overall performance of the application dramatically.

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

  8. AVR-Synthesizer "WAVE 1"

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    Sehr schoener Chip!

     

    Hast Du schonmal daran gedacht, das analoge Filter in den Feedback-Pfad einzubauen? Wenn Du dann auch noch die CutOff-Frequenz modulierst, ergeben sich mit wenig Aufwand sehr interessante (pseudo-polyphone) Klangtexturen.

     

    Gruss, Thorsten.

  11. MF_NG Modul "No Response from Core"

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    Hallo Stephan,

     

    sendet der PIC eigentlich einen Upload Request, wenn Du die Spannung anlegst?

    Du solltest diesen Request (f0 00 00 7e 40 00 01 f7) im MIDI IN Monitor von MIOS Studio sehen.

     

    Falls Du den nicht erhaelst, liegt das Problem entweder an der Spannungsversorgung, oder am Quarz.

    Wenn das nicht weiterhilft, mach' doch mal Fotos von der Platine und stelle sie hier rein - vielleicht sieht dann jemand den (Loet)fehler.

     

    Gruss, Thorsten.

  12. SEQ gates on DOUT?

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    The hardware config file for the SEQ lists SR outputs for gates, so is there a possibility of avoiding J5A/B etc. and just sending the balanced DOUT SRIO chain instead? 

     

    It isn't possible yet to forward the J5 based gates to a DOUT SR, but I'm planning this for the future.

    Because I've the same interest, I want to use my breakout board on a MBCV and MBSEQ

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

  13. MIDIbox CV V2 Concept

    in MIDIfication

    Posted

    I added some new features today:

     

    - the Lemur panel has been overworked, so that global parameters (outside the CV groups) are now accessible with the "G" button at the right side.

     

    - added "Force To Scale", which can either be activated at the end of the CV output data streams, or "in between" by using the modulation matrix.

    The Force To Scale works like a Quantiser which allows to select the note values which should be played - all other notes are forced to the neighbored selected note:

    mbcv_mockup1_6.png

     

    In this example: only D# will be played, all other notes are forced to D#

     

    In order to use Force-to-Scale, either push the "Force Scale" button in the Main panel, or select the "FTS" operator in the modulation matrix.

     

    - support for analog inputs: STM32F4 all 8 inputs at J5A and J5B, and LPC17 currently only J5B.A4 and J5B.A5 (since J5A is used for OLEDs) - later it will be possible to use J5A as well for people who don't use the OLEDs on a LPC17 core

    (again: there is no limitation for the STM32F4 core)

     

    AIN inputs can be selected as source in the modulation matrix.

     

    In addition, AIN inputs can be used as external gates, e.g. to trigger the LFOs and Envelopes.

    In order to activate this function, change to the main page and increase the "Ext. Gate Threshold" value at the left side, which defines the level at which the gate will be triggered.

    mbcv_mockup1_1.png

     

    - the envelopes got new curves (Exp1, Exp1Inv, Exp2, Exp2Inv), and it's possible to select different curves for rising and falling ramps:

    mbcv_mockup1_3.png

     
    (inspired from the Andromeda synth as demonstrated by Hawkeye! :smile:
     

    - the modulation matrix got an offset parameter to increase/decrease the modulation path output:

    mbcv_mockup1_4.png

     
     
    Unfortunately these changes lead to incompatible patches.
    Since there aren't so many users yet, I haven't worked on a translator -> your old patches will be corrupted (in the ENV and MOD sections).
    If you don't mind, just delete the old banks with the MIOS Filebrowser (remove MBCV_B1.V2 ... MBCV_B4.V2)
    Thereafter enter "reset" in the MIOS Terminal so that new banks are created.
     
    Please also note, that the updated Lemur panel has to be used as well with the new firmware, otherwise the parameters are not correctly mapped.
     
    Best Regards, Thorsten.

    You wanted to say "What a pity" ;)

     

    I haven't fully understood what you want to achieve. A MIDI Controller with multiple OLEDs and Encoders+LED Rings can already be created with MIDIbox NG regardless of the core.

     

    MIDIbox CV is not a MIDI controller, and the OLEDs are used for a different purpose. They don't show messages (like MIDIbox NG would do), but show oscilloscopes for the internally generated waveforms.

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

    MBCV supports only 4 OLEDs because the scopes consume a lot of CPU time. Adding more scopes would increase the latency for display updates so that they are not usable anymore.

     

    Another reason is, that the OLEDs are connected differently compared to the normal approach.

    E.g. on the STM32F4 based core, they are connected at J10B which has only 8 data lines, which are fully allocated (CS/SCLK/DATA/RESET/CS1..4)

     

    In general, MBCV is not comparable to a MBNG based MIDI controller, therefore the design constraints might confuse you ;-)

  16. Massive improvements to MIDI & OSC monitoring

    in MIDIbox Tools & MIOS Studio

    Posted

    I know your use case, and I know how to implement this - but working on MIOS Studio is just currently not on my Agenda (I'm currently working on other projects), and for myself I don't see a big benefit (I'm not saying, that the enhancements would have no benefit at your side...)

     

    When I'm working with the monitors, I need the full report with history and timestamps, e.g. to check if all MIDI data has been transmitted with expected timings. If something fails in the firmware, I need this information to trace back the reason.

    You need some kind of dashboard which shows the last transfered values of the message types + some filtering - something what would be useless at my side.

     

    Therefore please understand that such extensions don't have a high priority at my side (and as you notice, other users don't see to be interested as well, otherwise you would have got more feedback on the proposals)

     

    However, programming with Juce is fun because the library is well documented, and you could also use it for other purposes in future.

    So, definitely worth to learn this and no wasted time at your side.

    You've concrete ideas how to implement this, so why not giving it a try?

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

  19. faders, swell pedal and pistons

    in MIDIfication

    Posted

    Hi Robert,

     

     

    The ainser64 faders are on channel 1 by default: can I change this?

     

    yes: currently you are using 0xB0 for each input, which means: send CC over MIDI channel #1

    In order to send over MIDI Channel #2, just change this to 0xB1

     

     

    The volume goes in the opposite way: low volume is high and vice versa. Shall I "re-soldier" the 5V and 0V of the faders or is there a software solution?

     

    Please re-solder, it's more consistent

     

     

    Is there a way to define e.g. 1200 = minimum volume and 3500 = maximum volume?

     

    Scaling analog values isn't provided by the MIDIO128 applications.

    If this is required, go for MIDIbox NG!

    (and btw.: MIDIbox NG allows you to swap min/max without re-soldering the pots)

     

     

    Maybe I missed a documentation, but I cannot find it...

     

    MIDIO128 is a primitive application for beginners: you get what you read in the documentation. ;-)

    MIDIbox NG is much more flexible, but also requires that you read more documentation...

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

  20. Massive improvements to MIDI & OSC monitoring

    in MIDIbox Tools & MIOS Studio

    Posted

    I think these 3 things would be the single biggest possible improvement to MIOS Studio and would make it a dream job to work with debugging OSC and MIDI data.

     

    Funny wording - sounds like MIOS Studio is currently grap, but with your proposed enhancements (ideas stolen from other tools) we could make some $$$ with this tool that I developed during my sparetime? ;-)

     

    Anyhow, contributions to MIOS Studio from other programmers are very welcomed!

    The source code can be found under: http://svnmios.midibox.org/listing.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftools%2Fmios_studio%2F

    In order to build the application under Windows/MacOS or Linux you've to unpack the "unpack_me.zip" file under http://svnmios.midibox.org/listing.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftools%2Fjuce%2F as well

     

    The respository can be downloaded with a common SVN client, URL: svn://svnmios.midibox.org/mios32

     

    Just send me your enhancements, and I will bring them into the official release.

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

  23. Probleme

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    Fuer mich klingt das plausibel: wenn keine Bank definiert wurde, gibt es auch nichts zu inkrementieren.

     

    Wenn Du nun bspw. ein Event mit bank=1, und ein anderes mit bank=2 definieren wuerdest, sollte IncBank von 1 nach 2 umschalten - richtig?

     

    Gruss, Thorsten.

  25. LED Digits Problem

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    Du hast also die richtige Konfiguration fuer die LED Digits gefunden.

    Der naechste Schritt ist nun, diese in das logictrl.ngc template zu uebertragen, sowie die shift register nummern (sr_dout_r1 und sr_dout_sel1) an Deine Hardware anzupassen.

     

    Danach kannst Du nochmal den SysEx-Befehl senden, um sicherzustellen, dass die Anpassung richtig war.

     

    Und dann sollte es auch mit Cubase funktionieren.

     

    Gruss, Thorsten.
