welcome
the ScreenKeys look great
perfect for vision switchers and routers
situations where the mode of operation can change substantialy and the key's operations can change
cost and difficulty to program the screens may make it a little over the top for a simple midi controller
but
once past those hurdles, I can see that a seq and a controller, all in one could make good use of a large matrix of these things
individual cost ?
nVision have some good gear and one of your enineers came out to Australia and gave some training sessions on digital signals
I have a couple of versions of ... " The Book "

It's OK Evan
people love to hate Protools
yes I use word
and I use Protools
and I also like to take a swipe at Digidesign whenever possible
... Alsihad and MOA (mother of alsihad) ... a derogatory term invented by Fletcher and his mate over at PSW ... I think
It is our job as Digidesign buyers and users to keep them honest and on track.
As said above
... buy a kit from SmashTV or Mike and just try to make it work out. If you look at the price... it's not really expensive (1 core and 1 DOUT which you can build on stripboard).and start experimenting.
perhaps we can find the right combination and help
Digidesign haven't made a decent controller yet and their price is ridiculous so you can't blame Roger for taking a swipe.

!!!! :o
sorry
I missed that fact
... not like me to miss things like that
perhaps you have time for a little processor/application stuff

Wilba !!
cool
you are in Melbourne

me too
perhaps you can write an app for me ?

Does pressing the Rescan Devices button pick it up again?
my beta is a little different to what I see in the Help File
... with the rescan on a second page.
I haven't got it in front of me right now so this is from memory.
The Midi Device Routing Page has something else in the bottom left hand corner.
I don't remember how (right click perhaps)
but there is a second page.
The rescan does nothing ... no change ... zip

Does pressing the Rescan Devices button pick it up again?
That'd be me, ...
ahh
::)
so I didn't see all the commands and test all the bits
it was late
I'll check and get back to you
and
Thanks Adam ... and thanks to Wilba

It can send LCD messages to help ...
... it won't currently remember your MIDI port connections when you exit, ...
yep
I noticed that and
that's why I'll order the LCD kit as soon as the Core Kits arrive safely
and yep
I've sus'd the port connections.
I launch it a couple of times as I was checking the compatability of my USB midi port.
I also need the USB Midi connected before launching MIOS Studio.
and
if the USB disconnects I have to re-launch MIOS Studio.
even so
It is all so very, very COOL ... who wrote it ? ... job well done.
-
I think it's great
this and the SmashTV Core Card with the Midi Ports is what prompted me to finally order and get started.
... and I have been whatching all this from the very earliest days way back when, I think there was an old, old site.
Some may think that loading things into the PIC is easy ... BUT only if you already know you have a end to end working system.
I have just spent the best part of a week getting The SUN Java runtime and a NON corrupted MIOS Studio.
I also had a Faulty USB Midi port ... straight out of the box.
Unless you have other working parts to check things against and know you have a faulty unit,
it can all be a nigtmare for the first time DIY'er as you just don't know what you are supposed to see or which part is going wrong.
It's all good.
Anything that can help people to get to a complete and working first project is a good thing.
-
didn't need to
... once I got complete and valid files, it all just worked as it should.
seems I have trouble with both the SUN site and the midibox.org for some reason.
I have now worked out a way that I can get the midibox.org stuff ... MIOS and PDFs etc
even the PDFs for LCD wiring were incomplete and corrupt.
Using the download manager has solved the resuming issues that were the problem.
I can't get the SUN stuff at home and in the future I will have to use the work system.
So
all is good with the MIOS Studio and I spent some time last night routing and checking the operations on most of the windows have confirmed comunications through my MT4 midi port.
... and spent some time with the help.
I know nothing about programming but the application looks and feels fine.
In fact it great and I'm impressed.
Years ago, I said that you guys were doing a great job.
When I set up Group DIY I had hoped I could get things heading in this direction.
... but it didn't happen that way.
I have not yet checked out Serge's Sysex stuff but now that I have my downloads worked out I'm sure it will work.
All I have to do now is wait for my Core Card Kits to arrive from SmashTV.
When they do arrive successfully I'll order an LCD kit and a DIN kit and a DOUT kit.
My needs are very simple compared to some of your massive projects
but
I'm sure I'll be back for some more advice.
THANKS AGAIN
;D ;D ;D

no luck yet
opening MIOS 7_4 beta.jar in wordpad is just a jumble
there is a structure but I can't read it
the files size might be the key
I only have 221KB and 224KB
I do have Java 2 Platform s
and
Executable Jar File
for me in programs
I have
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\bin\javaw.exe
check the 1.5.0_9
... that could just mean I downloaded it more recently.
I'm thinking my JAR file is not right or got changed on the way in.
I'll try again tomorrow from my work place with a better OS and net access.
I'll be back
thanks
[EDIT]
I have just downloaded a replacement for MIOS 7_4 beta.jar using a different download method
and now I have
MIOSStudio_beta7_4.jar @ 1576KB in size
I feel more confident this time
-
please also refer to
MIOS Studio beta7_4
http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7238.0
currently it is a Sticky and rather than clog it up with my newbie problem I think it is better to bring it here
Just to ReCap
I think I have successfully
downloaded the JRE runtine offline setup file
downloaded the MIOS 7_4 beta.jar (.zip)
run the set file JRE
changed the MIOS 7_4 beta.jar.zip to MIOS 7_4 beta.jar
double click MIOS 7_4 beta.jar
???
nothing but the windows bump sound
I have searched and read ... and read and searched
I am stuck
-
I tried removing the dot zip after it had landed but still no luck
I have launched the JRE installer and as far as I know it completed successfully.
... the dot JAR file doesn't launch.
I don't know what I'm supposed to see or what to do next.
[EDIT]
this is all fixed now
see

:-[
I now seem to be having trouble with the MIOS Studio download and unzip
I have the file from
http://www.midibox.org/mios_studio/MIOSStudio_beta7_4.jar
which lands as
MIOSStudio_beta7_4.jar.zip
but WinZip doesn't want to work with it and gives an error
" Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive
If you downloaded the file, try downloading the file again "
I've done this a few times with the same result
??

hi kiira
;)
why doesn't your avatar work ?
-
thanks ... I may hold you to that offer
in the mean time,
I changed venue and OS and net access.
... in other words I tried a download from work on a office network machine with different OS to mine and with near lightspeed. No way could I have got 15meg+ at home.
Click Download and it all went instantly passed the trouble page and found the OffLine installer. I have that on a MemStick and will try it all out this week end on one of my test computers.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
-
big thanks for the reply and the info
I'm still a NO GO but at least I know there is an underlying reason.
Is there any chance of a single file download from an alternate site ?
... A link I can cut paste into GetRight and just let go. ... ::)
-
thanks
BUT
as I said above
the DOWNLOAD button gives me nothing
" The page cannot be displayed "
is it possible to just get an http//.... location so I can right click and download
or
cut and paste the location into a downloads manager ?
the above link just FAILS for me
is there any chance of a mirror ??

To run MIOS Studio you will need the Java Runtime, at least version 1.5 installed. If you do not have it, you will need to go to the Sun site http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp first, download the JRE 5.0 setup file and install it according to your platform's instructions.
I have tried and tried
searched and searched
read and read
the Sun site is very hard to navigate and the background colour verses font colour is almost impossible read.
I've been going in circles and used up my net time for twos days running.
where is this binary file to download ?
the closest thing I can find is
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications.
and I've read the associated txt files
installation notes, readme, release notes and licences
but the DOWNLOAD button produces a typical " The page cannot be displayed "
I'm obviously having trouble
help ???
[EDIT - reason]
edited the title and added " + MIOS Studio "

Hello to all.
..... this is my first post here.
The web site is impressive and so to is the forum. Â 8)
I know nothing about PIC's or their programming and this will be my first PIC project.
I will sit back and read as much as I can. When things begin to make sense I'm sure I will have a question or two.

HELP!

Posted
I also had trouble with my MIOS Studio download
and Java Run Time
go to the
