Sorry for entry in this thread , just for ask if is possible place a meterled aside each fader on the midibox hui ng (for show the volume level of the DAW ch-track) and how many leds are possible to include on each meterled thanks in advance.

really thanks for the link !!!! a very well done commands encoding !!! just a question about when a plug in is open the parameters are automatically assigned ? (from the first to the last also with "bank layers" if the plug in have more than 8 parameter ? as the rotary encoders on the mackie hui are 8 and the display can show 8 parameters at a time , unless the custom midibox ng/hui is not equipped with more than 1 display like 2 or 3 or 4 as for the Mackie C4 model that have 4 display each with 8 encoders (total 32 encoders good for virtual synths..) but unfortunately it do not work with pro tools … , because Avid "marketing" policy .. ) more thanks

please it is possible apply this "option" on a midibox hui for a meterled to place aside the motorized fader for show the volume parameter of the DAW rack channel (pro tools , logic , cubase , Live…) ? thanks

hi , link seem no work , any chance for working one ? thanks

Hi , it include also some option (patch) to "drive" virtual instruments ? cheers

A nice bit complex "brain" set in progress ... and a good "C" code little guide thread…. … hoping that it will be extended to what is needed for MB-NG cheers

MidiBox 20 years Birthday what a run : ) Happy Birthday !

W O W Will be showed to the next Namm and Muzik Messe ? the software sequencer is custom made ? cheers ps: are you from Zürich ?

Thanks for post eptheca , ( your "sunglasses" are so cool ) Novation ? No ! do not have nothing similar to that required , i checked all most knowed manufacturers unfortunately no one have a device as required , (otherwise I would not be here to talk about , but to doing / making music with that device) Have also to say that Mpc "high" series models apart , the rest are all low cost plastic and parts ….so not pro range devices …, so No thanks !!! Cirklon not so bad tool as concept and device , well built ! But in my humble opinion need a good development / evolution , because the layers concept of parameters block type can be good for save money for data entry parts like potentiometers , buttons , displays , surface panel , and related, but is a big "Handicap" for fast access to specific parameters edit , that is essential for live performances , in a home or studio situation there is all the time to stop , -> go to parameters block page , -> search the parameter , -> edit it and back to play . in a Live performance : NOT ! And why an hardware sequencer in studio ? To spend lot of more time than a software sequencer computer based for do the same things ? ( or less ) For me and so many many many other musicians do not have any sense !!! Apart save as midi file and put it in the hardware sequencer , So Sorry !!

Leggi Modifica Modifica wikitesto Cronologia Ricercait was perhaps a student or teacher/method problem ?we would not have lost one of the genes of our times , if he had not met the right mentor ? i agree : it can be a shame .. but world change continuously ( evolution? , and in way of communication too ) and it will change again , better or worse, who can say? only the story ! (in spite of ourselves) diversity is power , or are you for a clones world ? (in point oh views intended , in this thread , .. in the universe for the rest ...) i wrote (and i'm irremovably convinced ! ) that : there is not bad students but only bad teachers !!! the difference ? only and only and only... : The Method !!! since you are on the side of the books (me too , but partially , new "media" greatly reduce learning time , ..like : an image show what millions of words can not) have you ever read the true story of Mr Electromagnetism ? (a.k.a. Michael Faraday ) it was perhaps a student or teacher/method problem ? we would not have lost one of the genes of our times , if he had not met the right mentor ? and how many others we have lost (and we will lose it again) thanks to "unsuitable" methods ? returning a bit on the topic , want to recall the fact that the very big part of musician that uses electronic devices/instruments for make music , want spend the available time to make music , and a part of them agree to put a part of that time to make (or try to) a device that ( unfortunately still ) is not available on the market . PS: probably the cooler side of …. ; )

….. and is what seemed pretty obvious as far as it can be learned from available documentation (about the non profit) not the same for the "C" software part ( ….for "debutantes" intended , sorry) .

more thanks for post , …ops … , are u saying that there are "things/sides" of midi box that cannot be showed by video tutorials for copyright reason and related ?

hello , and thanks for reply ! ( I extremely envy your logo) i posted the link only as well , about that i tried to say in what posted , considered the age of this place , a New arrival that visit for first time this nice place would expect some video tutorial , at least for "standard" settings , as showed in that video tutorial , moreover made by a guy that seem to do not have any economic interest about (banners apart).

That i mean "video tutorial" (beginner-proof) https://youtu.be/NmxoBdEJG28

Hello FantomXR, there is also available a single pcb with 8 rotary encoders each with leds ring and 1 , 2 or 3 switches "place" as well + cascade connection option for get a single or more lines with 8,16,24,32…. rotary encoders connected in cascade mode ? thanks

So Thanks "Latigid On" ! ( I'm trying to work on it ) Thanks for post "Antichambre" ! Happy to know all that you wrote in the post…, and happy for you too (…it seem something like that "unknown paradise secret planet ", … also tax havens ? ) but "Jokes" aside , I seem to have mentioned only about electronics talent and talented guys ( dna ) . the rest is out of the topic , ---------------------------------------- Yess so true ! i'm so happy to have found this place !!! So endlessly Thanks "TK" to have created it !!! And I would be even happier if it became a bit more "usable" as well for beginners (not electronics experts/talented/tutor assisted…) before internet , youtube , and all other kind of today available free medias , all of this was impossible (i.m.h.o.) is it not true that a video or a picture say what millions of words cannot ? ----------- Ps: The same "information" can be given in an easy way , understandable to all , and in a "complex/messy/wry/twisted" … and related ways …, understandable only for "some" , or also nobody (…… politicians typical style ) …."someone" said that there are no bad students but only bad teachers...

Thanks for post Bruno ! part of reply is on the previous post…. and it is not a "challenge" factor , any day is a challenge (in these times...) ...in "summary" no possible make simple as possible for not experts the software part ? more thanks !

Thanks for post Smithy ! Roland ? Elektron ? no thanks ! ! ! (they do not have what me and many others are here for ..) Ok : want a MidiBox ? Read all documentation about ! (...it had never been done…. by many... ) as wrote above (if you have read it) , the problem is not about hardware solder - assembly and related , but is about the software , please it is really a "crime" ask for a more "easy" to understand "way / media" ? (in the age video tutorials) And saying : "if you can't follow the instructions that are already there then maybe this community isn't for you." (Thing that me and so many others are still doing from years / months ) can only confirm the title-topic o the thread , no possible any "evolution" of "basic" instructions documentation for help the many not "experts" ? re-confirm (again) the "topic" , friendly much thanks the same for your post ! ps : …. and about this ?

Many Thanks Peter ! …I'm re-checking the lot of docs about NG , cause as wrote synth programmer is always the n. 1 device i need to have (a.s.a.p.) the SEQ for live performances is n.2 of the "list" as i like the "unconventional" cool options it have , but due to some limitations of the same , i have to keep using my Akai mpc 4k and 5k (Tanks….. , Mpc X still under "stress test") "Programma V2" (the evolution) ? Nice news ! so interesting ! Great work about Oled displays !!!

…ops no reply ??? Anyway seem : Yes it can "Learn" (unfortunately as for so many other more option no sufficient info for the not "Experts" ) ps: "untested"

More thanks Zam !!! (i write about at the end of this post) Thanks for post Antichambre ! sorry , but no ! i (still) don't think so it is possible complete a MidiBox by someone without electronics natural talent self taught or school preparation (public or private) or tutor assisted (father, brother, friend … and why not girlfriend too as well ) i write about at the end of this post . thanks for post Phatline! i write about at the end of post. Thanks for post Elektruck ! and so much compliments for your "Truck" it is simply so : A M A Z I N G (all that you do with… included) about your post it simply mean you are talented for electronics (i.m.h.o.) thanks for post Tago ! "Typical" situation (me included) of the most potential musicians (and not) MidiBox users (less electronic "expert" tutor/assistant), that are looking for one or more "serious" device that "help/support" in making music, willing to build it because not in the market, and are in the situation where hardware parts , soldering and put the hardware together , is not a big problem (also if with lot of time and patience , various "try & error" ….. and redo too) and for some also the firmware install is not a "mission impossible" , but be sure that a C-code handle (more or less) will be necessary , for get a 100% working device , and the fact who finish a working Midibox is the confirm about it is able in handle the code or have assistant/tutor about (i.m.h.o.). I hold to "point out" that many of MidiBox potential "owners"/users/beginners builders not C-code "experts" ("tutorless") are serious adult people with music passion , not "time wasters" kids , and similar , so please "joke" a little is "welcome" , but we are not some kind of "stupids"…… , Back to "topic" : >) "friendly" : It's true that very lot of information are on the ucapps pages , unfortunately not all are understandable , and i.m.h.o not sufficient for a musician not "expert" about , …* : for example (only one of many cases) checking MBNG docs about how many lcd display can be connected to a core cpu, itì's indicated that more than 2 lcd require handle the code, for address position of "info". Some well made ("official") video tutorial that show the various possible configurations between core cpu , digital-analog in-out modules ,pots - encoders-buttons , lcd display , etc… , and about how to install the firmware with first power up of unit , with also some specific example of code handle like start the software for code handle, how access to code , basic "function" about how edit-assign-modify , etc… , would not be a big help (...and so much "friendly" appreciated ) ? (…giving further "positivity" to the device .., ... getting also some buck for each view … )

Thanks for the "lesson" Peter !!! (i'll keep it always in mind) as you know (that i wrote in the MB only for experts) First device i still really looking for and need is a synth programmer with much rotary encoders as possible (32 but 48 would better) +lcd displays (need to see to what is assigned to the rotary encoders for fast direct edit "action"), theB SEQuencer is also a cool device , and the v4 more .. , in the list as project 2 , the MBHui was for a various years period in the Wish list , at the end aborted because too many issues with moving faders and no pro tools option, at the end got an online chance Avid Command 8 for 250 bucks saving lot of build hours placed to make music but not much happy with Command 8 , too few rotary encoders for edit synths and a good part of fxs plug ins too (: - (( I have also been "tempted" frequently to start a Sid , another very cool "toy" , but the fact to not be 100% sure to finish it , keep me to still use "quadrasid" vst (really not the same of MBSid but much near for that i need) unfortunately after all still to the "start" point (: - (( but never say never... and "Re-start".... checked the start info page of MBNG http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=mbhp_core.html and seem it support 128 rotary encoders and 2048 leds (cool...or i'm wrong?) , then 32 - 48 rotary encoders x 16 leds each = 512 - 768 About lcd display however seem still only 2 screens (or i'm wrong .... , again ? ) http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=mbhp_core.html more thanks !

Thanks !!! please correct me if i'm wrong : in the related image are showed only 4 slots for "cc" , also all the other "slots" can be set as "cc"on that page ? (to use it as synth programmer , where each midi track and related assigned midi channel is a pre-configured synth controls layout template , ready to be used , and also copied to another track for control a similar synth or another sound patch inside a " multi or combi " of the same synth ) and it is possible "insert" a second raw of 16 rotary encoders with lcd display , buttons etc.. for have direct control on more parameters ? ps: after a bit Depth look to that page , have to say that the Seq v4 have very lot of cool functions but a single lcd display i.m.h.o. is not much a sufficient "interface" , no chance for a bit more large screen ?

..... or the MidiBox SEQ Already includes dedicated "page" for synths (cc) parameters control inside any midi track ? reachable, with the "next page" "scroll" function , by the up-down-left-right switches or dial ,
