  3. Problem with MIOS Studio and osx 10.3.9

    in MIDIbox Tools & MIOS Studio

    Posted

    hi

    thanks for the info

    not sure if MIDI over Network and virtual Soundcards by chaining real devices were also part of the 10.4. upgrade...

    what what ?? do you mean there is a way to have multiple soundcards enviroment on Core Audio?? let me know let me know

    Anyway, there's always the option of using SysExLibrarian from snoize: http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ to upload the .syx files... IMHO still better than invoking VPC Undecided

    see my message that s the only solution for the moment

    ...and you know that you can use gpasm instead of mplab?

    well i tried to install it .. but i can t understand is it only a command prompt application?

    ...and you know that you can use Xcode for MIOS-C-programs?

    I've written a tutorial and step-by-step-instructions in the Wiki (->appDevelopment)

    yes but i have knowledge zero about C although i promised myself i will dig into C soon since it seems to be the next step !! i will have a look at your wiki txxx

    uh, I just saw that this topic is a bit older;

    have you actually tried to install the referenced Version (link above)?

    Is the installer denying the install?

    yes i tried release1 and 3 but of course the installer will deny it i was wondering how ChrisHipGrave managed to do it

    Got it. It's all working fine now. Thank you for your help.

    best

  8. mapping buttons to change MIDI channel

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    hi all

    ok so far i ve added that meta event 00 to mb64e_meta.inc as described

    i have tried

    1 to create a .ini file with a few buttons assigned to F0 01 (02,03, etc) 7F (is this correct? i tried also 00) on/off (is this correct?)

    2 to use vmidibox to change the buttons as Meta Event with Meta ID = 1, byte 0 = 240, Nr. = 1 (2,3 etc), i tried all the different modes

    apparently the buttons send a syx so they have been configured but there is no channel change

    where is the bug??

    thanks

  11. ¿hardware failure?

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    hi all

    hi had a custom MB64e with 12 encoders 10 pots 12 backlit buttons 8 buttons

    all worked great but today while using it 11 of the 12 encoders stopped working

    i ve uploaded the same software again but they still don t work only one of the encoders is working.

    That seems to be quite funny for i can t really figure out what happened: my only idea is hardware failure but before opening the case and check it out i d like to know if anybody had a similar situation and if there is another possible solution.

    thanks

  14. linking leds to buttons

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    FIAT LUX !!!!

    .. that was it, thanks Thorsten i only need to resolder a few connections in order to link the proper leds to the buttons but it s all working now ..

    ... i am using those famous RJS backlit buttons and they are very nice buttons indeed but they are not good for triggering samples since they can easily double trigger or not trigger at all.I know there is a parameter for low quality buttons i will try with that but i can t consider low quality buttons something i paid about 4 euros !!!

    They are great for activating effects, solo, mute etc

    Thanks again to George and Thorsten for the support

  15. linking leds to buttons

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    as you can imagine i compiled and uploaded the same thing 100000 times and i am uploading the main.hex file and i compile it before and there are no errors .. i was wondering if there is any change in mb64e_leds.ini (i only changed the number of connected pins) i have to do .. i am just lost and i am sure i am lost in a glass of water (free translation from Italian) :-)

    cheers

  19. Power over Midi cable

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    hi rune

    running voltage on MIDI cables has its own protocol and it is 7 pins MIDI plugs where the power supply is connected to pin 6 and 7

    i advice you to stick to this for future use with other hardware (you may have a look at the DSP "Eclipse" from Eventide) and also because as mentioned some hardware (yes not really commonly) uses pins 4 and 5 and you don t want to burn that kind of hardware !!

    good luck

  20. linking leds to buttons

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    hi

    thanks for the help out there

    but maybe i didn t make it clear enough that i am stuck at a earlier point: i can t make those leds light up with my customised MB64e application

    i see some flickering while i move pots and that means that ledrings are still enabled: but i have disabled them in main.asm

    i have encoders on the first 3 DIN

    buttons on DIN 4 5 6 7

    leds on DOUT 1 2 (they are backlit buttons on DIN 4 and 5)

    and 12 pots

    everything just works fine but i can t link those leds to the buttons (i am sure 100% there is no hardware/connection problem)

    i was thinking about moving to a mbhp_lc since i am going to use it with Ableton Live5 but i want to learn how to setup the leds on MB64e

    i also "decided2 today to upload a corrupted application and now the PIC has just gone crazy i can t even upload MIOS anymore hop i can reburn and reset the poor thing, it s time to make my own burner

    anyway here a little extract from the main.asm

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_CATHODES_1 0 ; first shift register with cathodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_CATHODES_2 0 ; second shift register with cathodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_ANODES_1 0 ; first shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_ANODES_2 0 ; second shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC17_32_CATHODES_1 0 ; first shift register with cathodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC17_32_CATHODES_2 0 ; second shift register with cathodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC17_32_ANODES_1 0 ; first shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC17_32_ANODES_2 0 ; second shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC33_48_CATHODES_1 0 ; first shift register with cathodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC33_48_ANODES_2 0 ; second shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    ;

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC49_64_CATHODES_1 0 ; first shift register with cathodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC49_64_ANODES_1 0 ; first shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define LEDRINGS_SR_ENC49_64_ANODES_2 0 ; second shift register with anodes of the first 16 LED rings

    #define DEFAULT_DIN_SR_PIN_01_08 4

    #define DEFAULT_DIN_SR_PIN_09_16 5

    #define DEFAULT_DIN_SR_PIN_17_24 6

    #define DEFAULT_DIN_SR_PIN_25_32 7

    #define DEFAULT_DOUT_SR_PIN_01_08 1

    #define DEFAULT_DOUT_SR_PIN_09_16 2

    hey Paul i have to admit i don t have an idea of  how those pistons look like and i just imagine your organ like a huge machine with a big smoking chimeney on top.;-)

    anyway good luck with your project !!

  22. Anybody in spain can burn my pics? corrupted MIOS and bootstrap loader

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    hallo

    i have uploaded a corrupted application to my pic and it stopped working properly:

    no MIDI events ca be seen by MIOSStudio or MIDIOx

    the MIDI/usb interface leds give continuos outgoing signal

    i can t upload any application

    i can t upload MIOS either

    i guess a new burn-straploader process will be necessary

    if anybody has another idea please let me know

    i am moving back to Spain in a few days and i don t know if i can find the components to build a burner myself, i will try but if anybody can burn the PIC for me please write me asap cimo75@gmail.com

    thanks any help is appreciated

  23. linking leds to buttons

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    hi all

    i ve got a midibox with

    12 encoders

    32 buttons (12 backlit)

    4 faders

    4 pots

    1 joystick (analog)

    no lcd no menu

    everything works wonderfully with a slightly modified mb64e but there is no way i can thoseleds light up

    i used the test example to check that the dout2 and the leds are ok and they are

    i tried everything i could imagine but with no result

    obviously i am missing something: where should i modify the code to link the leds to the buttons?

    somewhere in the main.asm it says that the first 4 dout are reserved to the ledrings by default but i have no ledrings enabled

    any help is appreciated

    thanks

    simone
