Perfect!

Hello all, I want control 2x CEMs Cutoff and Resonance in 12/4 Resolution. So I have build up 2 AOUT_LC for that case, which are connected to one of my PIC18F452. At least I want write a simple code to control CV1 and CV2 (Cutoff/Reso), but I don't find an little MIOS8 C example to get in. 1. Which source/driver can i use for that pic? 2. How can I initialise the AOUT-Driver, so that it work in AOUT_LC mode? Thx for any help. Greets, rio

Hey communty, I need a tip, how i can adjust a track to fade in or out in an easy way. Is it possible, so that the track starts at 0..127 (e.g. 100%) and as long as it repeats, it should not fade again? (Fade out idea could also be needful.) thanks for any adwise. Greets, rio

thank you for all that information, that was very helpful :) EDIT: last thing, not sure, if it is a bit out of focus: From an electrotechnical view: Is it allowed to feeding an external MIDI-Device with J12 MIDI-OUT PORT from core1, while core1 is also linked to core2 with J11 or could that setup surge core1? Or do I need an extra LTC-Module for that purpose? have nice holidays, greets rio

That is correct. Maybe i don't formulate the question correct: You say it is allowed to stuff the first core with an optocoupler. So, will the first core send data forward to the midi-out port and also to the linked second core (J11) at the same time? So that it works like a router to the linked core, but that i can also get data out of the first core's midi-out? greets, rio

Hi, I have read all about chaining multiple MIDIboxes (via J11) and how I should configure the modules as MIDIbox Link Forwarding and Endpoint. Everything is well documentated here ;). I want connect 2 PIC18F452 together, because the second core needs also some MIDI Messages, which are generated from the first core. Some things should be a little bit clearer for me: Is it allowed to stuff the linked core also with his own optocoupler, so that the linked core can also receive messages from his own MIDI-IN port? Is the first core able to send data through its own MIDI-OUT out as well (so that it routes all events to his own midi-out and to the linked core2 the same time)? I'm afraid, because somewhere in a documents/schematics I have found a note: "Optocoupler NOT stuffed!" for thatt linked core. Thanks and greets, rio

hi, Ah ok, no problem and that shall not give you a lot of trouble ;) My thoughts went more in the direction to have an easier/comfortable alternative for getting FLASH, EEPROM, BANK1..8 (e.g. with a simple click on a button or combobox) instead of input/load special request command in the send-field sysex tool. But the result would be the same. greets, rio

hi peter, yes ok ;). Thanks, e.g. Schaeffer can produce me one of that. greets, rio

hi hawkeye, thanks for info, but i am searching a control surface (frontpanel) not the PCB ;) greets, rio

Hi tk, Very very nice work. Please would you add also a raw "custom sysex library", where i can simple read out from PIC18F452, PIC18F4620, PIC18F4685?: - FLASH (send, receive, load, save) - EEPROM (send, receive, load, save) - BANK 1..8 (32k/64k) (send, receive, load, save) - RAW Receive (receive, save) I know that I can do it all via Request-Commands in SysEx Tool, but that could be a way simpler and it can used for every 8/16bit PIC type. Greets greets, rio

Hello, I feel a bit unsatisfied with my handmade-control surface of my MB-SID. So is there a place/a way where a preprinted control surface can be ordered for the MBSID (with ship-opportunity to germany)? Greets, rio

hi, i tried to change a patch of my synthesizer in another bank with the internal mixermap of my SEQ. In general, changing a bank is easy by sending 2 commands #CC00 (MSB) and #CC32 (LSB) (or in simple way: #CC32 only) with a following #PC command. And here i got a problem. The Mixermap allows program change, but not bank selection. So at time i have to do following workaround: i setup the first bar of the mixermap with the 2 assignable CC1 and CC2 to #CC0 and #CC32 and a following second bar with the program change for same parameters (Port, Channel..). That works fine, but - sadly - it would stole me 8 bars of the 16-bar-mixermap (if i want change all at one time) :pinch:. Is there a better way to setup bank selection for a bar in mixermap? Maybe i could code to send CC2 before PrgChg. greets, rio

To that topic (because i want use C64keyboard and LED outs at one core): is it possible to use also a DOUTX4 in combination of C64Keyboard matrix, so that the first 74HC595 of DOUTX4 will be used of Scan Matrix Driver and all the other digital output shift registers can used for LED outputs? Should be ok, or? greets,rio EDIT: Yes it works, i have not tried that before.

Hello all, is there an example written in C, where i can control LEDs with J5 like the example in http://www.ucapps.de/mios/j5_dout_v1e.zip ? Thank you very much. Greets, rio Edit: ok i found useful informations here: PS: oh wrong topic...that should be in "Mios Programming ( C )"

Hi all, i have read of following MIDI CC implementation: --------+-----------+---------+------------------------------------------------ 0x40/ 64| 0x00-0x7f | 0x00 | sets the step of the track which should | | | be played on next step increment. Especially | | | useful in conjunction with Loopback function! | | | (one CC track controls the steps of another track) | | | Value 0 will be ignored | | | Value 1-32 changes the step | | | Value 33-127 are mirrored to 1-32 (don't use..) --------+-----------+---------+------------------------------------------------ .. and in my setup it could be useful to reset all playing patterns at once. So is there an easier way to set all tracks/all patterns to step 1 maybe via 1 CC instead of 16x NRPN CC? PS: thats only a question, maybe i have overseen something like this in the manual... Thanks for any suggestion, how i can get it somehow to work :). Best greets, rio

Hey thorsten, very nice!! I can test the new version today in the evening :) yes that CC will 100% help me. Thx thx thx. greets, rio

hi thorsten, i would be lucky for that feature ;) so that i can choose and dump one of the mixermaps via cc. thanks for your effort. greets rio.

hi thorsten, that are good news. Thx. I have played around a bit with the mixermap and i have noticed that the SyncPatChg option does not wait for the mixermap in phrase/song mode. The mixermap will change immediately before the next pattern will be played. Would it be possible to fix that too or would that to complicated (I know that the MBSEQV3 is outdated)? Is there also another easy way to switch between different mixermaps without using song/phrase mode? (Maybe via MIDI control)? Most time i am playing around in pattern screen and there it would be nice to switch a mixermap within switching the pattern. Thanks for all your advices. Best regards, rio

so i have swapped the IIC IDs of the IIC modules: Module:ID (--> changed to ID) 1:IIC1 (0x10) --> 1:IIC4 (0x16) --> this module does not work in mixermap (sends f3 f3 / f2 f2 f2 for volume/ nothing for prog.change) 2:IIC2 (0x12) --> 2:IIC3 (0x14) --> this module does not work in mixermap (sends f3 f3 / f2 f2 f2 for volume/ nothing for prog.change) 3:IIC3 (0x14) --> 3:IIC2 (0x12) --> this module works (sends "c1 xx" values for prog.change / LTC-Module are connected & sends this out too!) 4:IIC4 (0x16) --> 4:IIC1 (0x10) --> this module works (sends "c3 xx" values for prog.change / LTC-Module are connected & sends this out too!) I have tested all with diconnected LTC-Modules too, but therefor i got the same results like described above. So now i have swapped all back to default configuration. Then I have swapped the ICs (e.g. from IIC3-Module to IIC2-Module), but i got the same result - IIC3 (0x14) is not working in mixermap by default configuration. The result is wired. What could be the reason?, Could it be a software bug for IIC ID3 and ID4 or what could that results mean. Additional info: SEQ gets the power from a commodore power supply unit, so it should get enough power for all the boards. greets,rio

;) ok i will check that all tonight and can give report tomorrow. greets rio.

hi torsten, oh i discovered that it works for IIC1 and IIC2 Port correctly. For both Ports IIC3 and IIC4 are additional LTC-Moduls connected. Both IIC3 and IIC4 Ports don't work with the mixer, but everything else works fine with them. Strange. Do you have an idea what i can test/do so that it will all work, also with LTC? EDIT: so now i have disconnected the both LTC-Moduls from IIC3 and IIC4, but nothing has changed (IIC3 and IIC4 Ports are not working with mixermap like described) So i'm not really sure, whats wrong with Port IIC3 and IIC4 for mixermap. Very strange that in Edit-Mode of a track, i can setup CCs for that ports, which are working correct. Best regards, rio

hi torsten, it uses the last application 3.4f and Mios v1.9g. So it is not modified. I have just downloaded the last version and uploaded to the box(setup_mbseq_v3.hex) Nothing changed, that looks strange... what could be wrong? Greets rio.

hi, i have now monitored the events in mixermap: if i rotate the Page [3] Prog.Change: nothing happends. if i rotate the Page [4] Volume / [5] Panorama / [6] CC1 # 91 a.s.o : i get only the same values: 00000BFA 1 -- F3 F3 -- -- --- Song Select 00000C39 1 -- F3 F3 -- -- --- Song Select 00000D62 1 -- F3 F3 -- -- --- Song Select ... ..same happends in song/phrase mode (if i set up a mixermap there): 00014A2D 1 -- 93 30 00 4 C 3 Note Off 00014A37 1 -- 93 30 7F 4 C 3 Note On 00014BDA 1 -- 93 30 00 4 C 3 Note Off 00014BE4 1 -- 93 30 7F 4 C 3 Note On 00014E55 1 -- F3 F3 -- -- --- Song Select 00014E56 1 -- F3 F3 -- -- --- Song Select 00014E57 1 -- F3 F3 -- -- --- Song Select 00014E69 1 -- 93 30 00 4 C 3 Note Off 00014E6A 1 -- 93 30 00 4 C 3 Note Off ... i don't know, what is going wrong there. Did i have forgot something in configuration? thanks for any help. Best regards, rio

hi torsten, yes, i can give more report at evening. Short question: Will SEQ send out the MIDI events like 'program change' instantly after rotating the encoder on that mixer page [Prog.Chg]? Because I only can see flashing MIDI-OUT LEDs while rolling the encoder at Volume/Pan-Pages etc.. But they will not recognized at synth-side. (I am a bit confused, because on the other hand (against the mixermap) the volume/pan ccs are send and received 100% correct, when I defined that CCs as events with CC values in a track). greets, rio

Hello everybody, i use a seq V3 and please can anybody give me an advice, how i could setup the mixermap for a program-change etc.? I don't get it to work. I tried to setup a Prog.Change value for a special Port and Channel, but it doesn't changed a patch on my synth, same issues is with Volume or Pan (but on the other hand - if i set #CC7 in a track, volume values will be recognized and changed). i tried also to add the special mixermap into phrases/song mode like descriped on changelog of mbseq, but it doesn't work.. Thank you very much for hints, help.. greets, rio
