Thanks for that. In the meantime I had my first live-gig with this box and it worked fine! ;D ;D ;D ;D hope this box works a long time... cannot imagine working without it on ableton live anymore.

I did the case-design my own. The frontpanel (where the knobs/faders/buttons are mounted) and the backpanel (where the pcbs are mounted) i designed with frontplattendesigner and ordered from schaeffer-ag. The sidepanels are milled out of standard alumina-profiles such as sold by maytec or bosch rexroth. The panels are mounted together with brackets i made myself (simply alumina plates which are bent). You can see them mounted to the side-panel in the picture above. This work is well done with a AutoCAD Mechanical Desktop, which I use at work for constructions. 8)

yes. ;D 8) last weekend i did a jam session with my friend. The performance with this midibox is fine. Here is an additional picture of the inside of my midibox: Indeed there are more cables i expected. But i just managed it that there is no wasted space inside ;) Greettz, LIDE

thanx. tried it and seems to be cool now. 8) i´m a happy midibox owner now... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

When i store a sysex-dump with vmidibox, change the code and upload it, and then upload the sysex stored before, will this overwrite the changed debounce settings?

so when i change the debounce counter value it won´t be overwritten from the new syx upload?

And an additional question: Now that i have configured all my pot and button modes, is it possible to change the change the code, upload the new syx file without losing that configuration?

Hi out there! Here you finally can get a picture of my new live-controller! Works fine so far. So I want to thand all guys helping me to get along with this! THX!!! There is one Problem left with my MB: sometimes i press a button and LIVE does not respond on it and i have to push a second or maybe more times. It seems to be irregular. Could this be because i set the debounce counter to 0? Greetz, LIDE

Ok ;D After testing several connections of the DIN and changing some app-code I got my encoders work now. Thanx a thousand times for helping!!! Next I will do is mount all modules in my midibox and link them together. So I´m waiting for my front- and backpanel... 8)

Hi, I´m sorry. Maybe a few words about my complete Midibox-Setup are helpful for further discussions: I want to have a MB64(ID00)+MB64E(ID01) linked together in one box with 71 buttons (64 of them with leds), 44 pots, 9 faders and 2 encoders for controling ableton live. The pots and faders (=2xAINX4), the 64 buttons with the leds (=2xDINX4 & 2xDOUT) and the LCD should be connected to the MB64-core (ID00) . This core is the Midibox Link EP. The other 7 buttons (including the menu buttons) and the 2 encoders are connected to one DINX4 which is connected to MB64E-core (ID01) as Midibox Link FP. But since i don´t have my front- and backpanel yet (DHL sucks :( ) I wanted to test the pots/enc on the supposed cores before connecting&linking all together. The pots seem to work now on MB64-core - after having some grounding problems. Enc still does not work properly on the MB64E-core (see above). So will it work if i connect the DINX4 to J9@MB64E-core and connecting the 7 buttons to J3 & J4 @DINX4 and the encoders to J5 @DINX4 without changing the MB64E-app-code OR what will I have to change if it does not? Sorry for my wack skillz in coding and electronics... Thanks again.

Thanks for the hint. Although I´m a little bit confused right now. In the mios_tables.inc I changed the mode to detend encoders. But at the core-page i read that the DIN with encoders has to be connected to core´s J6 when using MB16e. Is this also right for MB64e? Maybe then my former configuration was wrong, because I connected the DIN module with encoders to J9 of the core-module. However, I changed it and connected the DIN with encoders to J6 of the core and now i cannot get any midi signal out of core... ???

hi, you mean i only have to connect the encoder and it got to work without configurations in the mb64e-app? no parameters to set? i found that picture about the different encoder modes (http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_encoder_modes.gif). they work without telling the software which type is connected? and how does the app "know" if there´s a button or an encoder connected? or is this not necessary? greetz, lide

thanx! i tried several times and it worked after uploading mios with mios-studio. then i uploaded the change_id-app and it worked! after that i tried to upload the mb64/mb64e-apps to the cores. it didn´t work with the vmidibox-editors, but with sysexbox. :D

hi all, today i tested my mb64e-core module with a connected din, which has a alps ec11b 20 detend encoder connected. i want to use this to scroll up and down the scenes in ableton live. for this i need two different midi-notes: one note at a click when i turn the encoder to left and another when i turn the encoder to right. i tried it with my configuration but the midi monitor showed, that there are sent 0 and 127 both on two channels (think it was 8 and 9) by one click. does the logical algorithm not work with these encoders? can i use them at all? i think this could be fixed by changing some parameters, but after searching in the mb64e-app-code, i´m really frustrated, because i couldn´t find anything where i see which encoder type has to be selected or what i can change to make this thing work. :'( so anyone who has more skillz in programming and electronic, who can show me the way into the light? thanx&greetz, lide

hi, it seems to be grounding problem. i asked a friend of me to look at it and with the scope he measured peaks on ground signal. so i had to much crossings from board to board. he said the most important is to make circuits always starlike and as short as possible. since i don´t have my front and back panels yet, i connot go on further. this was only for testing if the software works properly. it seems to. i think on thursday i´ll get my front- and backpanel, so i can mount the stuff together as it should be and then have a second look on it. i´ll post here again then if it´s better than work i´ve done before :-[ so far i thank you all again very much for assistance. greetz, lide.
