TK. Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi, since the Logic Control Protocol requires individual MIDI ports for each set of 8 faders, and since the core module can only control 8 motorfaders anyhow: 24/8 = 3 Best Regards, Thorsten.

bwanatikh Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Much thanks Ok, now i get the vibe.this is how i figured it after your reply, CORE1 = 8 rotary encorders + rotary LEDs + 8 Moving faders CORE2 = 8 rotary encorders + rotary LEDs + 8 Moving faders CORE3 = 8 rotary encorders + rotary LEDs + 8 Moving faders + switches for FFD,REV,STOP,PLAY and other extended functions + 1 rotary encorder switch for JOG wheel. correct me if i am wrong.tell me the best way to interlink the cores so as to use only core3 as the midi in and out link to the PC.also is there a Midibox lc forum for newbies?

ilmenator Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 tell me the best way to interlink the cores so as to use only core3 as the midi in and out link to the PC. You want to look at MIDIbox Link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwanatikh Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 You want to look at MIDIbox Link. Thanks once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 MIDIbox Link won't work for the MBLC protocol. As already mentioned, the protocol requires individual MIDI IN and OUT ports. Thats predefined by all DAWs which support it... This means, that you have to use a MIDI Interface with at least 3 MIDI INs and OUTs (such as GM5x5x5, it gives you two free MIDI IOs in addition) is there a Midibox lc forum for newbies? When you are using the search function you will find a lot of threads around MIDIbox LC topics (sometimes the shortcut MBLC is used) Best Regards, Thorsten.

seppoman Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 i figured that out.so TK whats the alternative? TK already told you - use a multi-port MIDI interface like e.g. the GM5x5x5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
