Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooooooo Good choice of question Thanks to Driftz for attempting to talk me thru the DOUT thing. Tough job, I still don't get it !!! Not his fault though :-[ But look at this with the 64 port I can do it with the editor. Now I'm impressed ;D 8) Good for you Serge Ian

Nice Work TK Can't wait to try out the 64 port in few minutes. I 'm sorry to be the one to ask BUT Will you be writing some code for that midi router project while back. I have all the parts for this and would like to make one but there's no way I could do the code for it. :-/ I don't mind to make it, test it out and do a report for the Midibox Portal. ;) Just a thought. Kind Regards and thanks for the toys Ian Hurlock

Thank you TK for your reply. The entry was in the right place as you pointed out. What bothered me was that I could not add my button parameters as the next entry in the list under the last encoder. I now realise that the total din inputs for the 24 encoders used adds up to 48 so the next entry had to be after that, so I counted down the list and put it at number 48 in the list. ;) Took me 3 days but I tell you what when you've sorted it out you give praise to MIOS and to TK for the wonderous toy he has made for all 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) Tip for others that may suffer as I have : I typed the numbers of the din inputs next to the list in the MIOS_MPROC_EVENT_TABLE from 0 to 127 and all my worries were over. Later Ian PS. And you thought only Steve C answered his own posts ;) ;)

I used to use band in a box on my old 486. Might still have it if your'e lucky. I'll have a look. Crusty prog but !! Ian

Ok thanks for the help with the last post TK That helped a bit. I ended by pasting the notify toggle goodies out of the 128 ain din etc example. ;) The buttons now work on individual pins straight after my last encoder. Now here's the RUB I have a button connected to din 48 , as shown on the lcd when the button is pushed. However the information it transmits to midi is found at MT_ ENTRY number 53. That is the 5th entry in the 0x30-0x3f sr range. I can edit this entry and the value is sent by midi as edited when the button is pushed. I don't know why the the button I push says 48 on lcd but is really 53. ??? Thnks again for your help Ian

Ok guys The encoder functions are going well but now I want to add the buttons. So instead of encoders I stuff a button to pull hi and lo on the next pin. Problem is that the next two pins ( which I have buttons connected to ) both show the same pin number. They seem to be using the same as an encoder does, you know like two pins for input per encoder. How do I change this to get the button to only function on a single pin. Cheers Ian

Hey there Yep you can do that. Have a look in the tables.inc in MIOS. Should look a bit like this in the encoder function list : MIOS_MPROC_EVENT_TABLE MT_ENTRY  0xb0,  0x0a  (example from my setup) Where b = control, 0 = channel 1  and a = pan If it read    0xb0,  0x07 then you would be sending control 7 (volume) from that encoder on channel 1 This is the first entry in the list so therefore it controls enc 1. Best idea is to get yoself a midi implementation chart and off you go. Someone may have another way of doin this but it works for me . Hope this helps ;) Ian BTW I have only just got this sorted in my head too ! I found the best way was to take like the 64 encoder example and edit it to my own needs. I found anything else too hard :-/ :-/

Thank you Sir 8) Ian

So when I want to change the encoder speed where do I do this. ? And what do I do ? Cheers ;D Ian

I have a suggestion. After you have continuously dumped edited .syx files into your PIC it gets confused. I stuffed a fresh mios into the thing and it started to react. Now I have channel 3 from 00xb2 ;D ;D Ian

Ok so I have filled the table for pan events from enc's on channel 1 and 2 by using  00xb0 and 00xb1 this works ok and the messages appear on the channel as expected. Ie channel 1 and then 2 . So i input 00xb2 so i can get messages out to channel 3 but it does'nt seem to work and gives channel 1. If I change it to 00xb3 iget messages on channel 4. I just can't get channel 3. Do I have the wrong hex for 2 ?? Any suggestions ? Ian

Good for you DA5ID :o

Hi Ian Did you see this further down the posts. Covers a bunch of assembly for PICS Re: Book recommendations for PIC programming? « Reply #1 on: 13.

They use the JDm etc too which helps. I have subbed to this site and it is hard to beat. Have a look at the pic course stuff, a lot is free and the sub is like only $20. http://www.talkingelectronics.com Ian

Aint got one gotta get one :o 8) 8) Superb Ian

Yay ;D Good for you using Ableton Live.....thought I was the only one. I am making a control surface for this too..........Nice job with yours ;) Ian

Trademe has these panels that may be of use to someone Ian http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_photo.asp?id=5775643&permanent=0&photoID=1757505&title=AUDIO+MIXER+PANELS+x8&mcat=0124%2D0126%2D

I have used some low profile xtals on my last couple of core's. I'm not sure what the number is but I got them from RS for bout $2. I have fitted them between the two side rails of the PIC socket straight into the hole provided on the board. This way the PIC can be stuffed into the socket on top of the xtal and it does not touch with no ill result or nasty xtal under the board. Ian

I have hooked up a couple of the 2 x 40 lcd's from www.pmb.co.nz and they work very nicely. They seem to have nice contrast and character definition. 8) Ian

Ok I did reply to these help outs but they seem to have dissapeared. Thanks they seem to assemble correctly now and i can change parameters for enc's etc. How, though, do I create note events ? Cheers Ian

Ok so I have tried to change the values for the encoders. (2 days ) That is change what they transmit in the way of midi when moved. Using enc example 2 I went in the Tables.inc and adjusted the value for the second encoder MT_ENTRY 0Xb0, 00x0a which I figured would give me some pan. Then did the assemble and convert thing but the transmitted value remained. The mpasm says there are 4 errors but completes 100% tasks so I figure that's ok ? A small hint here would really help Cheers Ian

Make me one :o :o ;)

Ok I was just going to throw one of these midi routers together and went to look for the Hex. Does the code for this thing exist ? Ian

That's cool TK , long as I know where I'm going. Does'nt take long to drop that MB64 into it anyway. No more comments but I'll bet that's a MB384 :o :o Cheers Ian
