SLP Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi folks,Is there a way to syncronize a (human) drummer to a (not finished) clockbox?I'm thinking of using to DOUTs connected to two of them to trigger two different "click-types" which will then be given to the drummers monitoring system.I'm pretty shure that this can be realized with midibox, so the only question is: Do you have different (better) ideas to realize something like this? (...and: no. I don't want to get answers like "Have you heard of the MB-808" ;D) regardsmatthias/edit: typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryd_one Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Step 1 - Mod clockbox to send midi pulses. C3 every 1/4 note, C4 every whole note. **Step 2 - find the shittiest cheapest midi enabled sound device you can. That's your new metronome.Step 3 - get/make a crappy cheap 2*stereo channel mixer for your drummer's cans (no need to waste a mixer channel and rob him of the ability to control it's volume himself)**Find this in mclock.c: if( ++mclock_ctr_beats == 4 ) { mclock_ctr_beats = 0; ++mclock_ctr_measures; } } // send clocks MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xf8); Do this: // send high metronome and set MTC counters if (++mclock_ctr_beats == 4 ) { mclock_ctr_beats = 0; ++mclock_ctr_measures; MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x90); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3C); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3F); } // send low metronome if (mclock_ctr_beats) { MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x90); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x48; MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3F); } } // send clocks MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xf8); and find this: MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xfa) and replace it with this: // send start message and high metronome MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xfa) MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x90); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x48); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3f); You could use an extra DIN (seeing as it's not done yet) as a switch to set a variable and turn it on and off.You could replace the midi messages with DOUT pulsesYou could put menus and stuff in, and dividers.Go crazy :)Check this code, I wrote it off the top, and into the forum, it's not tested ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
