  1. That would a rather practical and easy workaround I guess? Does a group have to be 16 encoders? Or could you say: 16 encoder + 8 buttons = a group of 20 encoders which would be shifted back and forth? It was suggested as a workaround in my midibox thread. I think Thorsten gave me the idea. Is there processing time for bank switching?
  2. As you can see in that topic, I'm kinda searching for the same thing too. I would like to have the buttons on the encoders grouped together with the encoders. I don't know how to make a workaround yet.. But is it possible to shift the midi channel af a selected range of buttons using a bank shift command? so in this bank ald your dedicated control ( pots and faders) are all on channel 1 for instance and the other control on a different channel?
  3. @ Cimo: Well, as stated in the startpost it will be a 64E. there are 6 channels, and 16 encoders with push button on the right. I plan to have the bottom button on each channel to be a bank select button. This way the 16 encoders are dedicated per channel. That's a lot of tweaking in my opinion;). The pots on the channels will be used for 2 filters and LFO. Probably I won't use send-return because I generally stack all the effects directly in the channels to get some more radical effects. I have: - 42 pots (with 6 faders) - 46 + 16 push buttons ( 6 per channel tot trigger clips and effects) 10 for navigation and menu - 16 encoders - Touchpad (Adesso easycat) I don't know if I'm gonna use all the 6 channels at all time, but this way I could use channels 5 & 6 as effect returns if I feel the need for it. @ Matrigs: Those are Ecler knobs. I got them from Ecler, via a large music store in The Netherlands. At first they couldn't really understand why someone would be needing 70 spare knobs, but eventually they delivered at fair prices (€ ,80 each). Now I am in need of 2 more buttons since my initial design was rather different. Getting those seems to be a lot more difficult... Mayby a small tip for people using the Front panel designer from Schaffer AG: When incorporating artwork such as I've done in my design, take a close look at the drill selection. At standard a ,xx mm engraving tool is used. Since my artwork is 1 mm thick, I've selected the 1 mm drill bit. This brought down the costs for roughly 30%-40% for the artwork.
  4. Well, I'm happy! Frontplate from schaeffer arrived today. Put a few components on there to view the result: Give me your thougts;)
  5. Well, I'm using the higly buttons too. What problems did you encounter?
  6. That's lookin' really slick! I am really curious about daytime pictures too ;) And I would like to know how you've programmed or are going to program the shift routine to switch between the clip registers.
  7. I have studied your pictures and really like your design, my compliments! I can see why some people think you've got little space around the pots. I do agree a litlle with them. But I guess, you will get used to it in no time. The intuitive layout makes working with this controller really efficient. The knobs I'm using are 20 mm in diameter and have a clearance of + 20 mm. So you can imagine I would strike it as a bit narrow ;) I am really interested in the progress of your project!
  8. Heb mijn frontplaat zojuist toch bij schaeffer-ag.de besteld. Omdat het naderhand spuiten van een frontplaat me te duur werd. Dus ik ben voor een zwart geanodiseerde frontplaat gegaan..
  9. I've made some progress.. I've complete designed my case, ordered the last components. Incorporated a touchpad (found the idea on a traktor controller midibox :)). The plan: wait for everything to arrive, take final measurements for the frontplate.
  10. Waar heb je deze knoppen besteld als ik vragen mag? Ik ben zelf namelijk op zoek naar kaap 1S11-16.0, maar het wil me nog niet goed lukken een adres hiervoor in NL te vinden, of bij een buitenlandse webshop die ook naar NL verstuurt.. Als iemand anders eventueel een tip heeft, graag!
  11. Ik laat komende week een offerte maken bij een Nederlands bedrijf, mocht die prijs meevallen, dan laat ik wel even welk bedrijf dat geweest is ;D.
  12. That's a real nice box you made there! Where did you buy the buttons? Do you have a brand/type for me?
  13. I'm using Ableton, haven't found a bank option yet. Feel free to correct me on that one :)
  14. Well, I don't have any programming skills. Offcourse I would like to make a contribution, but I wouldn't know where to start.. Will my original idea be possible, when using buttonless encoders? Or is it possible to program one 1 button, which will assign specific encoders & button to an other midi channel? For now, I'm keen on design my frontpanel, so it can be ordered, and gettin all my components.
  15. Thanks! But how does it work then? Is it possible to define that only the needed encoders and buttons change MIDI channel? Or does the global midi channel change? I really want the 12 encoders and buttons tot change channel or group..
  16. Hi! Originally I intended to make a Midibox 64. But after giving this quite some thought (1 year) I decided to go with an Midibox 64E. I already finished al the pcb's for an MB64, 1 core 2 x din, 2 x dout, 2 x ain. I guess I'm gonna 1 or 2 Din's extra to complete this project. Basically this is my design: 6 channels, consisting of buttons and pots, and an effect section constisting of rotary encoders with push button functionality. The idea is when the bottom button on a channel is pushed the group encoders "beat repeater & effects" are dedicated for this channel. This way I can stack identical effects on each channel en use them once the button of that channel is pushed. After reading the tutorial, I assume this is a normal feature for a MB64E (group selection), or is my already poor english letting me down here? Please give me a little advice about this one. I really hope I'm taking the right path here. Is possible to place the buttons within the encoders in the same group as the encoder. So they both will shifted when an other group is selected? controller.GIF
  17. You can also use one encoder to select an entire row of clips, then you can use 1 play button per channel. That's the way I'm using it. This way I can easily start a clip for one track and navigate to another row an select/play a clip on another track.
  18. A very nice result! I thought about doing this for my push buttons, mayby I still will do, this is looking real slick! About the knobs: I spent about 60 euro's on roughly 70 spare knobs for my project. Since I am attaching my controller to my DJ mixer I wanted the same ones. The deal was 1,20 per knobs, the bill I received, was 0,80 per knobs. Allways a pleasure ;) A litlle discount for high numbers? ::)
  19. I am using the frontplatt designer from Schaeffer-AG.de The initial design I made in a CAD program.
  20. So, this is the ableton controller I'm currentjly working on. I've received all of the components, and 'the deckplates wille be ordered this week. As you probably can see, I am using the xone 3d ieda, only the basis of this project my Ecler NUO4 mixer. All the fader caps and potmeters I am using are original Ecler parts, so the unit will have a nica an finished look!
  21. Klopt, Ik had voor de zekerheid nog even gebeld met conrad voordat ik m'n bestelling plaatste. de NO variant is 't geworden....
  22. Hallo idereen, Ik ben nieuw hier, en met een midiprojectje bezig, als het geheel af is, gaat 't er ongeveer zo uit zien. Zijn feitelijk 2 extension boards op m'n huidige DJ mixer, een Ecler Nuo 4: Nu ben ik op jacht naar drukknoppen, en wil er een aantal bij conrad bestellen. Nu maakt Conrad gebruik van een codering om de werking van de knoppen te onderscheiden, die mij niet bekend is. Ik kan kiezen uit een NC of een NO variant. Mijn redenering is NC = neutral - closed en NO = neutral - open Dan zou ik vervolgens de nc variant kiezen, omdat ik een puls wil geven als ik de knoppen indruk... Hopelijk kan iemand hier me vertellen of ik op 't goede spoor zit....
