Nat Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Ok, I want to clarify this, if I understand well, with the LTC module, I can install a midi in, a midi out AND the COM port at the same time. I can also connect a midi out to the core, but not a midi in.In that situation, the octocoupler has to be removedIs that right ?Thanks,Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 You can either install MIDI or COM. Not both at a time. This is because of the two different baudrates (MIDI is slightly slower than COM).But this should all be stated clearly on the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted July 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Is it still possible to use the midi out directly on the core ?Let's say I want to use the com port for my computer, but I also want to use midi for a synth(not at the same time), it's not possible ?

pay_c Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 *Either* MIDI *or* COM.... the baudrate is changed! So no synthi attached to the MIDI out would understand what the MB wants to say. ... or kinda like that ...No MIDI and COM at once at the moment.

Sephult Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Hey I already started this posting!!!! :)Well I was just wondering for the possibilites to change the baudrate in the software. Then if you can just bypass the optocoupler, you could have switchable interfacing. I am aware however that both baudrates are different, it would be cool however to have both com and midi, but definitely seems like a *8*8' n shitload of work.I bet Thorsten could pull it out nowhere on us.:)Sephult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Yeah, thats true.Also the changing of the baudrate shouldn´t be THE problem anyhow. Just changing the timer.*Also* I dont know how the buffer will handle this... TK? Perhaps some idea for MIOS 1.5 or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 The baudrate can be changed with MIOS_MIDI_InterfaceSet. With MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferFlush the MIDI out buffer can be emptied before switching to another interface.A pin could be used to switch between two interfaces (just use two AND gates and an inverter to multiplex the signal), but this would be an application specific feature.Best Regards, Thorsten.
