Mir war bislang gar nicht bewusst, dass es MIDI Dateien auch in diversen unterschiedlichen Formaten gibt. Worauf sollte ich hinsichtlich des Formats achten, wenn ich einen Midifile kaufe möchte? So wie ich es verstehe, repräsentieren die unterschiedlichen Formate unterschiedlich zugeordnete Sounds / Intrumente, soweit kann ich das bereits hören, wenn ich diese Dateien auf meinem Mac PC über den VLC Medienplayer wiedergebe. Auch in Garage Band ist gut zu erkennen dass sich die Instrumentenzuordnung unterscheidet. Zumindest bei dem unten - beispielhaft aufgeführten Anbieter - ist der je Midi-File definierte Inhalt gleich, also identisch viele Spuren und Instrumente. Wozu brauche ich Midi Files oder wie möchte ich Sie nutzen? Ich möchte meinen Yamaha SY55 Synthesizer aktivieren, bin Mac Nutzer und würde mich über Midi Files gerne wieder in die Klang- und Notenwelt einfinden. Ich danke für Eure weiterführenden Antworten und Empfehlungen. Vielen lieben Dank! Beispielsweise bietet ein Onlineshop hier bereits folgende Formate: Midifile GM (Hage) Midifile XG (Hage) Midifile XF (Hage) Midifile GM (Midiland) Midifile XG/XF (Midiland) Midifile Tyros2 (Midiland) Midifile Tyros3 (Midiland) Midifile Tyros4 (Midiland) Midifile Tyros5 (Midiland) Midifile Genos (Midiland) Midifile Pa3X-M (Midiland) Midifile Pa4X-M (Midiland) Midifile GM (Hibit)

Hello, I've got a question! I was about to buy a small interface box for two of my effects. but when I saw the price I thought that there was probably not much in it and that I could have everything I needed to tinker with one. Someone has already opened one of these boxes? I suspect they have just put an optocoupler and distribute the logic level on the Jack outputs? And Empress call their one, midibox Thank you Bruno

Hi! A long time ago I baught some Livid instrument "Elements" units to creat a midi controller. (4 untis of 16 button + 2 untis of 16 knobs + 2 units of 4 faders /see pictures/) I check the download section of the livid site to get the software (Brain V2 / Jr. Configure v1.07) but "Error 404" ....... Impossible to download the software, so impossible to configure the controller, so impossible to play with... So how can I do? Is there another board I can use to connect all the units? Is there a software I can use instade the livid program? Other ideas? Thank you!

In case you are looking for an inexpensive and an easy-to-build MIDI THRU solution, Andy has built a new PCB for this job! :) It is good for low-latency MIDI distribution, supports normal and TRS MIDI connectors and offers a visual MIDI traffic indication using a superflux LED. Also, it is multi-chainable to 8x MIDI DIN and 6x TRS MIDI or even more outputs. Using these boards, you can extend your SEQ MIDI OUTs to drive a lot of MIDI synthesizers with minimal latency! :-). The USB port is intended for easy portable jamming setups, or you can alternatively power it via a pinheader. We've also included a build photo tutorial. https://www.midiphy.com/en/shop-details/0/35/ Enjoy and many greets! Peter

Hi all, my MIDI electronics experiments started long long time ago, with a PIC based MIDIBox... I sometimes peek at the midibox site (I am mostly on vogons forum these days), but now it is really time to post again ... :-) I proudly announce my latest project, a successor for X1 : X2 !! - Small form factor midi PCB : 65mm x 38mm size - Waveblaster compatible connector for use on sound cards and DIY projects. - Dream 5000 series synth chip with 81 voices polyphony - Super low latency <1ms - 64mbyte flash for soundbank data - USB MIDI in (Class compliant midi device, works on Windows XP without drivers) - stereo line out using a high quality 24 bit DAC (3.5mm stereo connector) - Preloaded with a high quality 16 megabyte Dream General MIDI soundbank (http://dream.fr/pdf/Serie5000/Soundbanks/GMBK5X128.pdf) Running very well already with old games, still working on the software to add some features allowing to tweak more. I expect to have a batch of these ready by december :-) I should make some recordings soon. What do you think ?

Hi all, Having browsed the forums regarding RTPMidi, etc I've finally decided to look at giving it a go on my end. My current setup consists of 6 Digidesign midi i/os (giving me 60 MIDI in/out split across two computers) and a Motu midi 128 (giving me 8 in/8 out). Currently, I have custom built MIDI multicore cables connecting my PC rack with the Digidesign and Motu i/o to my synth and effects rack. As I understand it, the RTPMidi board supports 16 virtual cables which I'm guessing equates to 8 in and 8 out or does it mean 16 in and 16 out? Ideally what I'd like to do is create a couple MIDI to RTPMidi boxes that I can put in my synth and effects racks so that I can connect all my MIDI gear to my PCs with just ethernet cables rather than my bulky multicore cables. What I want to know is the feasibility of this. I have very good manufacturing skills, but my design and programming skills are a little bit lacking so any help would be appreciated here. Many thanks Dan

I want to implement a stand-alone variant of http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=196 What I want to achieve: I want to select quantize grid, feed clock to the core and play live, but with getting quantised output. Has something like this been done? What's the best approach? I was thinking of using the NoteStack from MBSEQv4 and pushing/popping notes on the notestack based on midi clock.

Hello everyone :) i'm Leon from Germany and I want to design my own midi controller. It should look exactly like that: http://www.malighting.com/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_MA_onPC-fader-wing-web_04_d5a4263569.jpg I decided to build the LPC17 based Core and use 2 DIN, 2 DOUT (60 buttons - 60 LEDs) and two MFNG module, because I want to use 15 Motorfaders from Alps. Is this project possible with midi box? Where can I buy the PCBs in Germany? I would be very happy with some feedback :) All the best

I want to convert Midi-In-Core (not USB-midi)> DMX-Out Core (MAX 485 Circuit) but in the DMX-Examples i read: // For now disable UART as we will be using DMX #define MIOS32_DONT_USE_UART suggest that i cant use Midi-Input then? What do i have to do to get it working?

Hi, I have a Line 6 FBV shortboard MK1 that wonder if I could use as a MIDI controller for the Möbius looper software. So far I have figured out that that the pedal needs 9v (through the rj45 connection) and sends/receives serial data. Any hint would be very much appreciated :) /Lars

Hi there! i have a keyboard with 8 sliders and 8 knobs, all midi cc assignable. What do u believe would be the optimal parameters setup (16 of them only) to control my midibox sid? Im working with two sids in a stereo config.

hi all , someone knows why my sammichSID dont start up / boot up when i have connected both midi cables ? (midi in and midi out connected) . When i only have connected one of them , then no problem , but if i have connected both , the sammich dont start. Thanks. In regard to check some failure, is There any way to know if midi input and output is working ? or how do a diagnostic ? thanks very much

Hi, I have modded my Peavey Vypyr 120 combo guitar amp, since it only has a dedicated 8-pin connection to the Sanpera pedal, which transports midi and voltage for the pedal. To be able to also use midi signals from a sequencer to control the amp, I split the 8-pin connection up to standard 5-pin and the other three pins separate, putting a midi merger in between. Everything is documented here: http://peavey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=42132&sid=fa2db4d5a14f0699d076a40acd46d0ea Everything works quite nicely, except the volume pedal of the Sanpera. It does more of an on/off switching and in general is very unpredictable. I captured Midi Data with MidiOX with and without merger (see attachment, part above sysex is without, below with merger, sysex comes from switching the amp on) and can't see any difference. What I'm trying to find out now, is if there is a generic problem when using a merger in conjunction with midi CCs from an expression pedal, or if only the merger I have sucks ;) I also found this discussion, no idea if that could be relevant: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=102792.0

Hi, my plug-on board dreamblaster X1 is finished now. Same pinout as the smaller S1 some use in their midibox, but much more features and larger soundbank. I sent one to Phil in Australia (3 weeks underway in post !), and now he finally made I nice review. Even though it is not a midibox, and closed source (requires NDA to buy their dev kit), I proudly want to show it to you here. I will be starting my next project for 2016, with a dream chip, ideas welcome !! Greetings, Serge

Hi, a while ago I bought a Nektar impact LX 61 keyboard, which has an USB connector only (see bottom of http://www.nektartech.com/Products/Impact-LX49 ). That worked fine (with some latency) connected to a PC and making music with a DAW. Now I'd like to connect it directly to other MIDI devices, like my e-drum, which accepts MIDI controllers for backing parts, through regular MIDI connectors. I'm sure there is a solution to this, but I'm not sure which one will work when searching the web. E.g. there are some USB/MIDI converters like the Prodipe MIDI USB 4i/4o (http://www.prodipe.com/en/products/interfaces/item/60-interface-midi-usb-4in/60-interface-midi-usb-4in), but USB seems to be dedicated to PC only. I'm not sure if USB/MIDI cables with integrated converter will do (e.g. http://www.thomann.de/gb/terrasoniq_midi_one.htm ). What I'd like to have is a stand-alone solution, which converts the LX's USB connector into a regular MIDI connector, so I can plug it directly into other MIDI devices. Power supply from the solution would be nice to have over USB, as that's the LX's normal mode - alternatively I could attach an extra power supply to the LX (right left to the USB port). [error: that's for a foot switch] I welcome your suggestions ; -) Thanks from Germany, Michael

que tal amigos, estoy a punto de comenzar con uno o varios midibox, mi pregunta es, es posible conectarlos en cascada? es decir, usar multiples midibox64 conectados entre si via midi in a midi out y el ultimo dispositivo conectado al PC? espero sus comentarios

Good (late) evening, I'd like to use my sammichSID to compliment my growing Eurorack setup and I was wondering if the MIDIBOX Sid V2 was capable of sending MIDI note data out of the MIDI Out port. The Eurorack MIDI interface I'm using (the Hex Inverter 'MIDI2CV') requires a Note-on to 'wake up' (including to begin outputting Clock) and while I seem to have the Sammich set to Clock Out, I can't seem to get the MIDI2CV to recognize any note data (thus, it will not 'wake up' and output clock pulses). I'm wondering if it is possible for the Drum sequencers to output note data, or any of the sequencers - really. Thanks, Erik

Hi there! I've got this idea spinning around in my head... It all started out with a bunch of Behringer's BCR-/BCF2000 which I considered to be the best controllers I could get (for the money) to control Propellerheads' Reason with. The only problem was that I just couldn't get all 4 of them running together, controlling what I wanted them to and giving me the feedback I was craving for... Then someone crossed my way and helped me build a codec (a file that tells Reason all it needs to know about the controller) which handles every 2 of them as one device, which got me the control I wanted, but still lacked proper feedback, since I wans't yet able to get access to the BCs' original functionality... Then I came up with the idea to create my very own MIDI controller, based of an improved BC-like design, and built on top of the MIDIbox platform! :D My latest spin on this idea is this: I think it would be a lot more affordable for me to build some smaller controller units one by one, than doing the whole big thing all at once! So... would it be possible to, let's say, make a controller that's just a MIDI brain with some basic/general controls, and then make some additional "modules" (e.g. one with lots of encoders, one with a bunch of faders, perhaps an additional one covered with buttons, etc...) and then connect them all to the one basic controller, which in turn provides data and power connections? I've already done some research, but although there are already some more or less modular controller platforms out there, there doesn't seem to be something like this... yet! :) I'll appreciate any kind of response, and, maybe some time, a little (more) help in development of such a system -- if only to see it it would be feasible... Thanks!

[sOLD] Looking to sell one spare gm5x5x5 board for reasonable price (not trying to make money on it, but also not hysteric about loosing on, you know) :smile: It is working and once soldered back in 201?, was stored in my DIY box. I ordered many of those and used only one. Please PM with offers.

Hey everybody I searched in the forum as well as the NG documentation but couldn't find anything about this topic. Is there a possibility to forward the midi clock pulse or a division of it to a DOUT pin (comming either from the internal generator or an external clock through midi in)? I would like to sync an LFO to the clock. Cheers Andy

Hi all, Please go easy on me, I am new to MIDI and Sammich! I have built a Sammich a few months ago now, and was having problems flashing it, Rowan kindly had a look at it and between him and TK it was fixed (bad optocoupler) Rowan flashed the MIOS and patches for me and I replaced the opto coupler, and bought 2 new SID's as the existing ones were both slightly faulty, now its up and running and the Sammich sounds great triggering the patches from the buttons on it's front panel. Now, here comes the problem: I have wanted to hook it up via MIDI so I can play the patches with a keyboard, which i think should be fairly straight forward based on other MIDI devices I have used. When I hook up the Sammich to my controller keyboard I set it to send on channel 1, I also make sure in the patch on the sammich, in the menu that it is set to also use channel 1, I play the keyboard and nothing happens, I cycle through patches and make sure they are on channel 1 also, but still nothing? I have also hooked the sammich up to fruityloops via a Umidi USB cable (as suggested by the whitelist) and set fruity to output on channel 1, now this does strange things, sometimes the patch will trigger or play randomly or sometimes it causes the sammich to cycle through patches randomly? I have midi out on the keyboard and or fruityloops to midi in on the sammich. I have taken it to a friend who is a bit more knowledgeable with MIDI than me, and he has had a play and thinks there may be an issue with the sammich not properly responding to the midi information, and possibly miss translating what it is receiving. Could this be me just not knowing enough about MIDI, or is there potentially another issue with the sammich that needs correcting, like with the faulty optocoupler? Any help appreciated, and if someone could confirm the best way to make sure it is receiving MIDI and translating it properly that would be great. Thanks, Kai.

Hello, I have finished building and hardware testing a sammich, but unfortunately I seem unable to flash it with any of my MIDI interfaces. Is there anyone in the UK that is able to help me by either lending me a known working MIDI interface, or doing the flash for me if I send them the sammich? I am unfortunately unable to source a nuesonic cable, and all 4 interfaces i've tried won't seem to do it. Please contact me and let me know if you can help. Many Thanks, Kai.
