Midi switch

[Mikecl]

I was looking at this midi cpu controller board and it had me thinking about a retro-fit, I have a midi setup where I use a software called VB3 and it would be nice to be able to control the speed with the real switch instead of using the mod wheel.

 

Well the switch is like any other normal 3 contact switch but I wonder if it would work the way I hope it would?

Welcome aboard, Mikecl  :flowers:

 

First of, it's usually incredible helpful if you give us as much info as possible - that keeps people who want to help from having to guess what you actually want to achieve.  :wink:

 

At quick look at the GSi's VB3 documentation says that every parameter is MIDI controllable. So yeh, you can have a real switch for that without issues. All it'll takes is a core module (the pic module will do just fine), an sp3t switch and 3 pullup resistors.

 

I'd suggest you read up on the documentation on http://www.ucapps.de to get a rough understanding of how stuff works and then come back with more detailed questions  :happy:

I was a little sleepy when typing that :)

 

The switch would be from a Leslie that has 3 positions, slow, off, fast so that would make it a sp3t because it has 4 terminals? and yes in  VB3 all the midi parameters are controllable

 

I will read up a bit more on that site.

 

But it seems it's really simple since of it's function, however making it is another, but I'm not new to doing projects just never worked from scratch on midi before.

There's really not much "from scratch" with what you want, so after some reading you'll do just fine :-)
