midi channel

[Guest 123]

The midi boxes can transmit midi on any midi channel,right?Can you set up each knob to transmit on a different channel?The reason I ask is because maybe I am a bit confused about the midi device ID that is burned in bootstrap loader.I am not sure if midi device ID is the same as midi transmit channel.Oh,and by the way,yes I am new to this stuff.Lately I always do a forum search before asking a question,but I do not have enough time to keep searching for over  a half hour every time I have a question.I really do appreciate the people who have been helping me,thanx!

Hey there

Yep you can do that. Have a look in the tables.inc in MIOS.

Should look a bit like this in the encoder function list :

MIOS_MPROC_EVENT_TABLE

MT_ENTRY   0xb0,   0x0a  (example from my setup)

Where b = control, 0 = channel 1  

and a = pan

If it read      0xb0,   0x07 then you would be sending control 7 (volume) from that encoder on channel 1

This is the first entry in the list so therefore it controls enc 1.

Best idea is to get yoself a midi implementation chart and off you go.

Someone may have another way of doin this but it works for me .

Hope this helps ;)

BTW  I have only just got this sorted in my head too !

I found the best way was to take like the 64 encoder example and edit it to my own needs. I found anything else too hard  :-/ :-/

Midi Device ID and Midi Transmit Channel is not the same. There is only one midi device id for every device, but there is a possibility for every device (that's capable ofcourse) of transmitting and recieving over 16 different channels or combinations of two or more when you configure things properly.

And yes, it's possible to assign midi channels to buttons, but that has been explained already. ;D
