so, i can send 14bit with all controllers, but the real resolution of faders is 10bit, right? i have some other questions regarding lc application. i need the led lights to be controlled exclusively via midi in messages, is it a simle thing to modify in the code? i want to control the leds (not the led rings) with notes and their color with the velocity value. is it possible to enable rgb led handling? i think to a function that assciate a different colors to different velocity values... can i write it using c language? about rgb led colors... using them simply connected to 3 dout contscts the possible colors will be 8... is it possible to connect each pin to two dout contacts with different voltages? this solution could bring 27 possible colors! is there enough memory in the pic to add rgb handling and velocity pads to the lc application?

another question: is it possible to go under 1millisecond rate for the scaling on the velocity value?

http://www.happcontrols.com/interactive/accessories/95073301.htm is this switch usable for velocity application? i bought some happ ultimate pushbuttons for some of my projects... i really like happ products, i would like to use illuminated rectangle pushbuttons to buile a 4x3 row of sensitive pads.. do you think it's possible?

i know that the velocity sensitive implementation exists... but (this is what i understand) it needs special buttons. i want to know if it is possible to write an implementation\algorithm to use normal momentary pcb buttons as velocity sensitive. setting a fixed note duration (good to trigger drum samples) and calculating velocity on the time interval between on hold and release... can you give me a link or a picture of this rjs buttons??? and about the velocity application in the download section of ucapps... can you explain exactly how those spdt buttons work? i know that the normal keyboards calculate velocity values measuring the time interval of two contacts that are lightly distant each other... i searched on the web for spdt or push push buttons... and i see that all these switches have a single little button!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! :'( :'( please can you give me some links where i can read a king of datasheet of the button i have to buy???

there will be a software application that stores the datas of many pages of assignments. a joystick will send messages to the computer to switch between pages. everytime i select a new page an "update" will occur, so every led ring and motor fader will take his position. i want to use eight motor faders, eight endless knobs with lad rings and 24 illuminated buttons. i want to know if there is a way to send and update using non midi datas... to prevent from loosing precious milliseconds.. how much time is needed to send midimessages of an whole update of all positions for a midibox lc? my midi-box concept will work only in combination with his software, so the messages that the box sends are fixed. they don't need to be midi messages, formed of 3 bytes. it is possible to use non midi messages of 1 byte or 2? and about the midi feedback: i want to know if cubase and othes programs use midi messages or sysx messages to set a new position of a fader\led ring.

is the usb connection faster then midi? is it possible to allow a midibox to send and recive non midi datas. tis because i'm thinking to a special appication that runs exclusively on pc... i want to develop a software that will communicate with the hardaware box in the faster way possible. the handling of midi will be only software based. the project is based on midibox lc, with endless encoders and motorfaders. a lot of updates of the controller position will be often needed, because there will be a joystick to switch between "pages", each containing a set of assignments. the software that this midibox will be builded for is energy-xt. a baeutiful modular host. since the set of midiout(or sysxout) signals from the box is fixed, i want to know if there is a way to make updates data transfer as fast as possible. (an update is the list of the state of all controllers in the box) it makes sense to use usb? or midi is fast enough? where can i find more documentation about the midibox lc hardware? how the software sequencers like cubase send a feedback to the midibox? how dk2 and other midibox lc builders chained many midiboxes in a single unit? if i succeed in using a non midi communication protocol between the hardware and the pc-software, is it possible to have a higher resolution for the faders? of course i need a lot of help... i have many programming skilled friends that will help me, but the most important hel will come from this forum!! thanks

anyway... can someone give me some links to spdt switches usable in midibox projets... i would like to use happ illuminated pushbuttons to trigger spdt's

is it possible to use normal on\off buttons as velocity sensitive triggers? i think that measuring the delay between on and off we can calculate the velocity. obviously we will have a fixed note duration. and even if we hold the button pressed the note will play after the maximum time measurement (example 1,5 or 2 ms) i think that under 2ms of the result could be fine can someone make this kind of algorithm?

is it possible to load or convert sidstation patches???

hey s.m. did you try to add internal midi out?? is it possible to have the original sinthedit patch to make the vst compatible with energy xt?

is it possible to implemet rgb leds that will output different colors regarding the position of a knob or a slider or the pitch of a pressed note? i think that in combination with happ pushbuttons, the final effect would be beautiful!

seppoman, you talked about a slow response of your vfd display... will this delay affect even the sound of my sid? However, if you can send me your driver within an e-mail i'll try to connect all. but be patient, since i'm a newbie not so expert in electronixx, could you send me an interconnection diagram for the pinning? will i have to power my vfd separately of the core will send the power to it?

no, i found it on ebay from usa...

it's a noritake CU40026SCPB-T20A 2x40 VFD i'll have to look for compatibility...
