well, i got some initial success using Miditrix and Mdi yoke, i say initial, since i could upload Pot values without error, but the new button values dont update... need to investigate thanks TK.

thanks, TK, im definitely using the 18f version of Serge's editor, but i will try the Miditrix app to see if it improves sysex handling.

made some progress - decided to start from scratch and reload MIOS - found that the MIDI in port cable was dodgey - so corrected it successfully uploaded MIOS ver.9f to core successfully uploaded Midibox64 app - ver 2.4 all pots, buttons, faders etc work, LCD displays all correctly and tested MIDI out with Ableton and it works fine - now back to Serge's MIDI editor - try to upload new bank via sysex and get this reply "MIDI time out! Whats up???". serge editor displays problem/error messages when uploading searched and found a similar problem here - http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,10877.msg94380.html#msg94380 was hoping to find the answer - but it seems that Foona manged to overcome the problem by switching to a new computer and MIDI interface - which is odd as he could upload MIOS/Midibox64 app etc without problem but got the time out error using serge - any ideas besides switching to a new computer and Midi interface? i am using M-Audio UNO midi interface after a short rest, i gave it another go with the same Midi interface etc, strangely the upload from serge to core worked a bit - i say a bit because the dump was registered on the core as successful, and the pots i re-labeled in serge worked, but the buttons didnt, not sure why. anyhow after a few more attempts, it stopped working altogether and went back to the 'midi time out' messages i have tried adjusting the 'delay between sysex blocks' time but that doesn't help.... i will try again tomorrow.

sorry if it wasnt clear - but i have uploaded the midibox application :) all the pots and buttons work, the lcd shows the values etc and when it boots up - so yes MB64 app is installed, and midi monitor app on the computer shows it is sending the correct midi messages i just dont know the procedure for uploading a bank/patch to the unit with serge's editor, and i cant manually edit the box through hardware because the buttons arent programmed with the menu functions (they are all midi note messages)

Hi everyone i'm trying to upload/send a new Midibox64 bank/preset using Serge's Midibox64 editor, i've made the patch with all the desired button/pot commands, and saved the sysex file for future reference, now the problem is - how to upload to my midibox? i've tried using the 'send sysex' button and the dialogue box says its sending, but my midibox does not acknowledge the incoming data. does the midibox need to be in a special mode to recieve the dump? if so my problem is that none of the buttons are currently progrmmed to navigate the menu structure. for troubleshooting info - im using MIOS 1.9 i have the midi in/out device set properly - tested and checked using Midi OX and also by way of learn commands so i dont think thats the issue i dont have a bankstick attached yet are there any detailed tutorials for uploading banks? i tried using the search terms 'serge / midibox64 editor / upload bank etc and not found one yet.

stryd - you are stuck on repeat! stryd - you are stuck on repeat! stryd - you are stuck on repeat! ;0)

Styrd - im sure you mean well, because you have helped loads of other people on this forum, but no - i dont think you have the exact answer im looking for, i think you would have told me by now, anyhow - there are lots of others on this forum who might be able to help me solve it with a bit of trial and error

Hi stryd - if you are refering to this post - http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,13207.msg113303.html#msg113303 then yes - its mentioned in your answer, but you didn't point me to the specific part of the code to be modified, and thats what im looking for - the fastest route to the exact solution, the point is - if someone has actually done what im trying to do, and succeeded - i would like to hear from them, exactly how to do it - thats the ideal situation - dont you think? anyhow - i have been searching, and that piece of code seems like the most likely suspect, so im looking for confirmation - can you confirm that is exactly whay i need to modify and incorporate into the application?

ive been checking out the Mios C page and found this - http://www.ucapps.de/mios_c_send_range.html Send CC Events on pot movements within specific range (Scaling) looks like that might be what im looking for, if im not mistaken, it can specify which AIN input is to be scaled - with defined input and output amounts - am i ont he right track here?

Hi Guys, here's the story so far - boards are done, components have been amassed, core tested and working, metal work is done, and getting ready to do the soldering this week. this one is going to be loaded with everything from pots and faders to joysticks and touch strips. there's a space on the upper left for pitch bend and mod wheels, im using a pair i hacked off an alesis photon, and have been puzzling over the midibox software for the correct way to scale the analogue inputs to work at full range - if anyone can anyone point me to the correct part of the code to modify, i should be able to do the maths to set the exact amounts needed. i have a friend who can program and assemble, but he asked me to see if anyone has done this before to avoid the trial and error process. more pix coming soon...... :D

Hi, i posted a question about Pitch and Mod wheels in the parts section, and have been nudged towards the software side in search of solutions - the problem goes like this - i have pitch and modwheels mounted in housing that can only turn the pots the usual 90 degrees - but the pots themselves are capable of 270 degree rotation - the pitch wheel pot is 5k and moves 45 degrees either side of the central axis - which rests at the 180 degree point the mod wheel pot is 10k and moves 90 degrees from 0-90 i am guessing that the MIDIBox ASM file can be modified to interpret the limited turning range of the pots, and map them onto the full resolution of MIDI paramaters, has anyone had a similar experience and found a working solution through software? or if its not possible through software how about a hardware solution? cheers Digi

Hi Stryd, do you mean that i can modify the Midibox ASM code to work with the limited range of the pots as they are? cheers

I managed to get hold of a pitch bend and mod wheel set from Alesis, they are the ones found in the Photon midi keyboard. i got the housing/mounting frame as well which is going to make it much easier to fit into mu Midibox project. the thing is - the Mod wheel pot is 10k, and the pitch bend wheel is 5k. The thing is - they both have limited mechanical rotation due to the design of the housing, but the pots are capable of a full 270 degree turn, like standard pots. does anyone know if i can use these with the Midibox64 software and get the full range of use - i.e. Pots with limited mechanical turn producing full 0-127 Midi CC values - or do i have to make some changes to the hardware or software? cheers Digispunk

;D thats a very sexy midi object - congratulations

I will tripple check the soldering and report back, anyone got any ideas about the Sharp LCD pinouts? ???
