LO Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 'elloAny info on how I might do the following would be appreciated. In one box I have a MB64 & also a MB_SID but only room for one LCD, I would like to be able to switch between the modules (would be nice but does not need to be a "hot" swap) The MB64 is connected to the LCD and the "data" lines from the SID could be connected to the lcd but diconnected by a switch?Which wires going to the LCD from the modules do I need to have it switchable?Does this make sence? ???LO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 The LCD bus isn't multimaster capable, the only way would be to switch between all data and control lines (=11 signals) with a bidirectional switch (since the data bus goes to both directions) --- too difficult :-/But for the records: one of the next MIOS examples will demonstrate how to use the new "customized LCD" driver (app_lcd.inc) to send all messages which are normaly printed on a LCD via MIDI to another MIDIbox in order to share a LCD. The "app_lcd.inc" file can be linked into any MIOS application. Only the application which displays the messages must be prepared for this capability (like MIDIbox LC), it has to provide a function which switches between different display buffers.I know that this isn't the answer which you want to hear, but it's just an inspiration for a possible solution which works w/o problems.Best Regards, Thorsten.

LO Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hey thanks for the replyI'll try and hold out...... at the moment im opening the case up and unpluging/pluging the LCD every time I wish to switch!As far as the MB_link goes Im having some trouble with random data showing up in midi ox i.e when the boxes are connected seperately they are working well but when I connect via MB_link and turn a knob the data looks pretty good in midi-ox except for a random note or two showing up. ill try and do some screen dumps laterAlso TK did you ever have any luck getting V-midi-box to work with MB_link?TIALO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 So far as I know vmidibox doesn't provide the MB-Link protocol - or does it? Serge?Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
