I need help with my midibox64.
I want to make a dedicated controller for a software synth.
I built a prototype midibox64 with 32 potentiometers for controlling the software synth and everything works.
The problem is that whenever I turn off the controller and power back up, the midibox64 resets all values ​​to zero. (sends all controller value of 0)
I wish at the power-on, midibox64 automatically send the actual values ​​marked by the position of the potentiometer.
I tried SNAPSHOT_AT_POWERON - enabled without success.
Is there a way for read all the position of pots at startup of midibox64 ad send the exact cc value to software synth without save current snapshot before turn off the midibox64.
what is the solution?
Thank you for your help.

Same problems to me . Even when I put a 24LC512 memory bank and I send the config to the bank the snapshot it wasn't work.
After restart the knob will be initiating to zero to be wake up. PIC18F452 CORE + 4AIN + 4 DIN + USB MIDI , (powered from USB I=34mA)

I find a solution in c programming forum
this is the link
http://midibox.org/f...out-at-startup/
unfortunately i'm not a programmer.
can someone help me in coding.
maybe a new main.c file with the solution for my midibox64.

If you are using the MIDIbox64 firmware, you only need to enable the SNAPSHOT_AT_POWERON option.
No programming required!

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[dinama]

thanks for your answer, but my problem is always here.
this is my .ini file
as you can see the snapshot at power on option is enabled.

maybe this is the problem?
how can i set the flag for snapshot at power on for compile a new hex file?
thanks for answer

[TK.]

maybe this is the problem?
how can i set the flag for snapshot at power on for compile a new hex file?

There is no problem - you can safely ignore these warnings.

The script has generated a .syx file (not a .hex file).
E.g. if you named your .ini file 'dinama.ini', you should now have a 'dinama.syx'

Just upload this new .syx file with the SysEx tool which is part of MIOS Studio -> done!

how can i set the flag for snapshot at power on for compile a new hex file?

You already enabled the "SNAPSHOT_AT_POWERON" option in your .ini file.
You don't need to compile a .hex file

You've generated a .syx file with the "mk_syx.pl" script, it contains the configuration (and no program code).
Now you have to upload the .syx file with the SysEx tool.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I'll became crazy.
I generated a .syx file with the "mk_syx.pl" script.
But every time i turn on the midibox64 i have this message in mios studio

As you can see all the CC are set to zero but on the controller all the pot are at half turn (12.00 o'clock position)
As i turn a pot a little the value jump immediately to the real value.
that's why i ask help about a programming solution of this problem
like this

unsigned char i;
unsigned char MyArray[num_ains];

for (i = 0 ; i <= num_ains ; i++) {
MyArray[(i)] = MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(i);
}

The problem for me is where i can put this code.
At this time, everytime i turn on the controller, it not reflect the current pot position so for the musician is impossible to know what are the current synth setting.
very very strange.
i tried with many file but always the same.
the rest is all ok.
thanks for help.

Of course, with SNAPSHOT_AT_POWERON it is intended to send the current pot and button positions, otherwise this function wouldn't really make sense (like you are saying).

If only 0x00 values are sent, it seems to be a bug!
I will fix this soon.

Btw.: the MIDIbox64 firmware is assembly based, coding in assembly is difficult and error prone.
Thats one of the reason why this function doesn't work - I have to try and fix it by myself.

Btw2.: MIOS32 based projects are programmed in C and C++, so that such bugs are less likely ;-)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

@Dinama and @Unuldinei: could you please try this firmware:
http://www.ucapps.de...box64_v2_4e.zip

After upload of the .hex file, please send your .syx configuration again.
Thereafter the current pot and button settings should be sent after power-on as expected.

I will release this version once I got the confirmation that it also works at your side.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[dinama]

After several attempts i can say that your solution is right for pots position (AIN).
I uploaded the new hex file and sent my .syx configuration and now when i turn on the midibox64 i can see on lcd the real value of pots.
For the buttons (DIN), the situation is different.
The solution is not valid but i think this problem is in the nature of momentary switch.
The momentary switch don't have a memory or a continuous value (from 0-1-2-3... to 127 like the pots)so they must always be used to change value.
I tried with al supported button behaviours (@Toggle, @OnOff, @OnOnly).
At power-on the values is always 0x00.
The solution is wire the button like a pot on AIN so the midibox64 can read the value 0(OFF) or 127(ON).
In this case the midibox64 reflect the real position of buttons.
Maybe there is a coding solution but i don't know.
Thanks TK.

Hi,

good news: I reviewed the code and noticed that the DIN mapping wasn't taken into account.
Accordingly, the DIN state was mapped to the wrong MIDI event after power-on.
Here a corrected version: http://www.ucapps.de...box64_v2_4f.zip

Please try it, maybe it helps a bit.

For the buttons (DIN), the situation is different.
The solution is not valid but i think this problem is in the nature of momentary switch.
The momentary switch don't have a memory or a continuous value (from 0-1-2-3... to 127 like the pots)so they must always be used to change value.

This is true for a momentary button, especially if the toggle function is used, as the state (on or off) is stored in software.
A workaround would be to store a snapshot before power-off (press&hold SNAPSHOT button for two seconds), and to recall the snapshot after power-on (press the SNAPSHOT button shortly)

But if a "real switch" is connected instead, the state is stored "mechanically" and therefore can be recalled after power-on without a manual snapshot (if you are using the new firmware)

The solution is wire the button like a pot on AIN so the midibox64 can read the value 0(OFF) or 127(ON).
In this case the midibox64 reflect the real position of buttons.

No, it would be the same problem - you would have to store the state with the SNAPSHOT button.

But just to be sure: when you are speaking about a "momentary switch", to you really mean a switch like this one:


Or do you mean a momentary button like this one:


Best Regards, Thorsten.

momentary switch - second picture.

I make few test with new firmware(revision f)
For me it's ok.
I connected to din some mechanical switch (first picture) and at the power-on i can read the real position of a switch on the lcd of midibox64.
Thanks

Hi,

could it be that the same bug made it into the MB64e as well? Because I also get all the CC messages set to zero every time I switch the box on (with snapshot_at_poweron enabled).

I guess I'm using version 2.2d

Best regards
Lars

[TK.]

Yes, MB64E has to be updated as well... soon - stay tuned! ;)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[rvlt]

Cool. Will do..

;)

[rvlt]

A friendly bump

Any news on an updated MB64e? Would be great to see this working on my MB64e..

[TK.]

Finally (after a slight modification on my MB16E, so that I can use it for MBHP_CORE and MBHP_CORE_LPC17 )

-> http://www.ucapps.de...ox64e_v2_2e.zip

Could you please test the changes at your side?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[rvlt]

Yes, snapshot is working fine now, thanks!!

There is only one small problem left: in the middle of the (correct) snapshot values is some sysex data and two pitchbend values (-8192 at Ch. 9 and 13). I don't know were that comes from, maybe it's a configuration mistake on my side. This was in version 2.2d as well.
But honestly this is not much of a problem in my case.

Cheers
Lars

[TK.]

Cool!

I will officially release this version once I'm back home.

Yes, the PitchBend and SysEx values are very likely generated from wrongly configured encoder or button elements.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hello Thorsten!

Would be a problem to have an electric throw / Edrum 16ch / That I would like to set per channel volume but do not know how. In principle, it can be Midibox64-but how?

Or something else you can give me a solution?

A Yamaha PSR-300 synthesizer controls the drum. And one or two smaller drum sound hangerővelkellene to speak! There are some simple circuit for this? Louis Regards from Hungary!
