Yes I am reading some tutorials now. I am testing notes from midi keyboard on MIOS Studio. Till now only with velocity I managed to trigger led's. I ask a question; My final project is to build a 12 core system all with different addresses (electronic pyro firing system), so that I can use/write a software that will send specified notes from a cue list so that I turn on for ex: led 13 on core address 6; at least that's what I intend to do. Do you think midi is the way, or is there a more reliable protocol? Thanks

My DOUT is wired to core J8, correct? tried evnt0, evnt1, evnt2 but all i can get is velocity to trigger led's This code turns ON led 0 and OFF // a note event provides 128 different note values (0..127) // in this simple example, each note sets an individual pin // for DOUT pin numbers, see also this documentation: // http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_pin_list.txt if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt0 == 0x90 ) { // 90 xx 00 is the same like a note off event! // (-> http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm) if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt2 == 0x00 ) { // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet0(evnt0); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet1(evnt0); } } } and this turns ON but never OFF the corresponding led with velocity... // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet0(evnt2); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet1(evnt2);

THANKS stryd_one... I got something working at last!!!!! Now the led's are following the velocity setting. Now I need to set them to turn off and not stay ON. I will do as you're suggesting and read more in detail. Somehow my final project is to connect 12 cores with 128leds each at a distance between them so that I could fire a show. You think that's possible? THANKS, thanks

When trying to code this ' Controlling 128 LEDs VIA midi ' example ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // This function is called by MIOS after startup to initialize the // application ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void Init(void) __wparam { // set shift register update frequency MIOS_SRIO_UpdateFrqSet(1); // ms // only one DOUTX4 module is connected // the maximum value is 16 (-> 128 digital outputs) MIOS_SRIO_NumberSet(16); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // This function is called by MIOS when a complete MIDI event has been received ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void MPROC_NotifyReceivedEvnt( unsigned char evnt0, unsigned char evnt1, unsigned char evnt2) __wparam { // a note event provides 128 different note values (0..127) // in this simple example, each note sets an individual pin // for DOUT pin numbers, see also this documentation: // http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_pin_list.txt if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt0 == 0x90 ) { // 90 xx 00 is the same like a note off event! // (-> http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm) if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt2 == 0x00 ) { // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 0); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 1); } } } I get main.c:83: error 20: Undefined identifier 'pin' main.c:83: error 20: Undefined identifier 'pin' main.c:88: error 20: Undefined identifier 'pin' main.c:88: error 20: Undefined identifier 'pin' Thanks

When I program this line MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 0); exactly as in the programming example it gives an error when compiling. Is the programming example incomplete? or am I missing something? I will try to modify ain64_din128_dout128 as someone posted in this thread [tt]http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=5034.15[/tt] Will let you know Thanks

sorry about posting.. i deleted it. Yes I already tried hardcoding before like this // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(2, 0); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(2, 1); It works when I send a midi note, turns on led 3 and off straightaway. I am sending midi notes from the keyboard on MIOS studio, that's ok to test?

not working............ now no led's light if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt0 == 0x90 ) { // 90 xx 00 is the same like a note off event! // (-> http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm) if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt2 == 0x00 ) { // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(evnt1, 0); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(evnt1, 1); No idea how or what's happening :-(

most probably i need to write code for each led to correspond to each note. Still got no idea haw to do it, but will try. Thanks

thanks, working nearly as i want it but.... I wrote the following; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // This function is called by MIOS after startup to initialize the // application ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void Init(void) __wparam { // set shift register update frequency MIOS_SRIO_UpdateFrqSet(1); // ms // only one DOUTX4 module is connected // the maximum value is 16 (-> 128 digital outputs) MIOS_SRIO_NumberSet(16); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // This function is called by MIOS when a complete MIDI event has been received ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void MPROC_NotifyReceivedEvnt( unsigned char evnt0, unsigned char evnt1, unsigned char evnt2, unsigned char pin, unsigned char value) __wparam { // a note event provides 128 different note values (0..127) // in this simple example, each note sets an individual pin // for DOUT pin numbers, see also this documentation: // http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_pin_list.txt if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt0 == 0x90 ) { // 90 xx 00 is the same like a note off event! // (-> http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm) if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt2 == 0x00 ) { // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 0); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 1); } } } and every note I send I get the same first led to light only. Can I modify the code so that each led corresponds to a different note? Thanks

How should i program the leds so that for each different midi note coming from the pc a different led lights? I have 128 leds connected to core. I tested ain64_din128_dout128 and works fine, so I would like to do the same from the pc now Basically i want to build a software ( hope that I find one free :-) ), to trigger an led according to outputs selected, from 0-127 Thanks a lot

So, that's great. I assume that the modules needs to be preprogrammed and cannot be done from lcd, right? Also is there a way that I can monitor the outputs if shorted to ground from the pc? Which software is ideal to address and output? thankx

Can I connect 12 cores with a different address each. I am under the impression that the max is 8 cores. Am i right? What about the coregraphy software? Thanks

I am working on something slightly different from what a midibox is supposed to do. I am building a firing system that will be able to trigger several outputs at different times all operated from a PC over a long distance. This will trigger a max of 1000+ outputs in 12 different locations. (12 cores daisy chained, max 128 o/p each core) I would like to know what is the max distance possible between one core and another, or if it can be converted to rs485. I am also looking for a software that will be able to program firing cues and output midi notes at programmed times to trigger outputs. A long time ago I met something similar on the net, with the only difference that it was a musical fountain. Thanks a lot

Thanks

seems that all is working fine... even with ableton. Another question; Can I connect 64 knobs/faders, 64 buttons and 28 leds on 1 core??? Thanks

Ok will test and let you know. Thanks

Built core, wired lcd, burnt and flashed, uploaded midi64, wired some buttons all seem working great. Now i'd like to test with ableton live 6, what should I select as a controller?? I tried mackie but nothing happened. Is there any file I should upload to the core, or any settings I should do... pls help Thanks

yes, that works perfectly. I am now trying to use rs232 ltc module. I installed roland driver. But mios not showing anything. Any settings?

Is there anyway I can use the LTC module with rs232 of PC in MIOS studio? My gameport is either not working, or giving big probs.

No I don't have the cable for the audigy. I tried using midi out only of midi core but never received an upload request alone.

I will test a midi cable soon as I said in my last post. Any idea from where I can buy the AUD_EXT cable/adaptor for audigy? Thanks

I tried on batt, AC psu, DC 12V, DC 18V... same probs. I also tried shorter cable and thicker. My prob is not power, I think it's either the midi cable or the PC!!!. Cause I tried 2 soundcards Audigy and MPU 401. Exactly same probs. I am wiring midi out directly through a 220R into midi in and vice versa. I am ordered a new midi in - midi out cable hopefully receiving it by end of this week. I will post results.

I never tried anything else with this gameport. Can it be cable length? I am using 1mtr 4 core shielded. I am using a separate PSU, I checked voltage and it is exactly 5Vdc.

I wired core 1:1 to gameport using an already programmed PIC 18f452. I set up sound card ( midi port shows as MPU 401 ).
