Nat Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 In box config, could someone explain me what are the following options :Auto SnapshotSend PC on bankchangeReceive PC on bankchangeAlso, If I want to control Mutes/Solos in Cubase with the midibox16E, will this work like I think : will the led light up if I toggle mute with the mouse ? Will it light off if I toggle it off with the mouse ? Now if I press the button, will it turn on and turn of also ?Thanks,Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi Nat,this is no "Virtual MIDIbox" related question, as the virtual box doesn't support the features (so far as I remember). Btw.: it also doesn't support the encoder type settings like "relative" controllers.An explanation for the switches can be found underhttp://www.ucapps.de/midibox/mk_syx.zipsee the samples/midibox16e*.ini filesBest Regardsm, Thorsten.

TK. Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hi Nat,yes, I know them... the description of these functions can be found in the example files of the mk_syx archive ################################################################################ # Snapshot at PowerOn: if enabled, the box will send all current pot settings # when the power is switched on # Allowed Keywords: "enabled" and "disabled" ################################################################################ [SNAPSHOT_AT_POWERON] disabled ################################################################################ # Auto Snapshot: only usefull if BankStick available. # If enabled, and a bank is changed via Program Change or within the Bank # Submenu, MIDIbox will automagically restore the last-saved settings of the # new bank after the bankchange # Note: you should enable this flag in all banks in order to get it # running properly! # Allowed Keywords: "enabled" and "disabled" ################################################################################ [AUTO_SNAPSHOT] enabled ################################################################################ # MIDI Merger: enable the merger in order to forward the incoming MIDI # events to the MIDI Out. A must if you would like to plug a keyboard # on the MIDI In, or if you want to cascade MIDIboxes # Allowed Keywords: # disabled don't use merger at all # enabled merges all external with internal events # mblink_fp MIDIbox Link Forwarding Point: like a common MIDI merger, # but internal events will be framed so that a MIDIbox Link # End Point can distinguish between a event which has been # sent by a common MIDI device and events which have been # generated by a MIDIbox # mblink_ep MIDIbox Link End Point: merges only external events # from a MBLink FP (Forwarding Point) ################################################################################ [MIDI_MERGER] disabled ################################################################################ # If enabled, the 16 LEDs (32 with the LED extension) reacts on the # same MIDI events which are assigned to the corresponding buttons. # Example: if MIDI Trigger Button #1 is assigned to the controller B0 07, # the LED will turn on if the box *receives* a event B0 07 xx (xx != 0), # and will turn off if the box *receives* B0 07 00 # Note that with the BankStick, this feature consumes about 4 ms on every incoming # MIDI event, therefore it is only optional if you can accept this latency # Allowed Keywords: "enabled" and "disabled" ################################################################################ [MIDI_LEDS] disabled ################################################################################ # Send PC on Bankchange - if enabled, the MIDIbox sends a Program Change # Event on MIDI Channel F (CF <bank>) on every bank change # Very usefull if you would like to change the settings in your MIDI # application on Bank Changes (supported by Logic, Cubase, MIDI-OX Mapper) # Allowed Keywords: "enabled" and "disabled" ################################################################################ [SEND_PC_ON_BANKCHANGE] disabled ################################################################################ # Receive PC for Bankchange -
