So.. anyone? :-\ -Joel

Oh. Sorry, was not in the best frame of mind when I read that. -Joel

Was that post intended to confuse me or what?! :-\ Obviously LC doesn't support pots, therefore I'll need a couple of MB64 cores in there, right? What was it my Mum used to say.. oh yeah; "If you got nothing good to say, keep your trap shut" :P -Joel

Thanks for that, good news at last :) Upon further digging I'vbe discovered that I'll need three indepentent cores on three midi in/out ports to have my pots too (needs 102 pots, 15 sliders, 56 buttons and 56 leds not including meters), is that right? Hang on.. just thought, if I'm having 102 pots and 15 sliders.. will I need 4 core modules?? Yikes.. If that's right, I just need to know if I can bump up the number of LEDs on my meters to 20 from 16. If they run on a voltage comparason I guess it is with modification to the code.. wow, I'm starting to look at what I've written and not know what I mean! Man being a musician in the 21st century is hard work! Thanks again! -Joel

Hey all, Since Reason 3.0 now supports Mackie Control I've decided it's time to kick the midibox LC project into gear. I'm going to attempt to recreate the reMIX in hardware to make life a little easier (I hope) but I have a couple of issues already. Firstly I'm not sure if Reason 3.0 uses the "meter" function of Mackie Control, I will check on this, but I read in another thread that if I have more than 8 meters I can't use pots, buttons or motor faders.. is that right? Also, can I do without touch sensors or disable them? I've no need for them and don't want it to interfere with the rest of the code. When it comes to the code I'll probably struggle to get my head round it all but I guess a little trial and error is key here ;) Any help on this is very much appriciated! EDIT: After checking out another post, I'm now wondering.. can I have more than 11 LEDs in my meter arrays? I'm looking at about 20 :-\ -Joel

That's great news, especially when looking at this: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=6105.0 Looks like that's one part of my query wrapped up ;) It'd be great though if also the MB64 could utilise also motorfaders LED digits and LCDs, though I think looking at the way Reason sends midi these things would not be possable :'( Anyone can feel free to correct me on this though ;D Thanks Therezin! -Joel

Hi all, I'm new to the whole MIDIbox concept but very excited and whilst muddling through the descriptions of how everything works I'm left wondering the limit to which Reason 3.0 can be interfaced with the MIDIbox since it's really all I use and can't even begin to imagine how useful it'd be to use a semi-real subractor! I guess the main thing that's puzzling me is how many controllers I can assign and the limits therein. I'd ideally like to have a physical 14:2 mixer or subtractor I can control in real hardware by clicking on one of these devices in Reason and use every aspect in real life. Can I use the LED display readouts in real life or does anyone know how many of the knobs/buttons of said devices I can control in hardware? I've tried to follow the descriptions as best I can but I'm afraid since I'm new to fiddling with the guts of MIDI I'm finding it hard to understand just how much control I can have on the hardware. Also, I see some MIDIboxes have motorised faders, is this possable in any way on the MIDIbox64 design, and does 64 mean I can only use 64 knobs/faders/buttons etc or 64 buttons and 64 faders etc? I hate to make my first post here a question (or pleathora of), apologies in advance! Thank you and I hope to share my completed project with you all in the coming months! -Joel
