Ender Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Was thinking about this..what would the minimal hardware-interface for a Midibox seq be?..i see you can control most functions with keys from a keyboard..and was thinking maybe you could make a Midibox that could be controlled mostly from an external device since most people already have some kind of a controller with a play,record back and forward button that could be on the controller....and maybe if you have a keyboard you could just step record with that instead of twiddling with knobs if you like the TB-303 style sequencing more?..

philetaylor Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Earlier in the year, I ported the MicroVGA (http://www.microvga.com/) driver to MIOS32 http://svnmios.midibox.org/listing.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fmodules%2Fmicrovga%2F As this also includes a PS/2 keyboard port, I did think that it might be quite nice to adapt SEQv4 to support this. Then you could use a VGA monitor for the display and a standard PC keyboard to operate it. Obviously none of the work has been done to support this but it would be quite nice IMHO... Maybe I will have a play! Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sounds like a really nice idea actually, was more thinking of using CCs and then maybe having a couple of buttons that are absolutely necessary for the Midibox to operate..almost like the Midibox sid minimal, more menues but nice with external controllers probably.

Echopraxia Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Last I checked, all of the functions at least for v3 were available using a midi keyboard's keys i.e the c2 key would be "select track 2". This was workable on v3 but not sure if it was ported over to v4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
