steve savage Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi guys, So just putting together my updated midibox based project https://www.facebook.com/drummachine909 And am having a little trouble with these encoders http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/mechanical-rotary-encoders/7295851/?searchTerm=7295851&relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E525353746F636B4E756D6265724D504E266C753D656E266D6D3D6D61746368616C6C26706D3D5E5C647B367D247C5E5C647B377D247C5E5C647B31307D2426706F3D313426736E3D592673743D52535F53544F434B5F4E554D424552267573743D373239353835312677633D4E4F4E4526 The issue is they work great in absolute mode but when in any of the other modes ie 00 +/- speed, when turning slowly the value doesn't seem to increase/decrease and when turned fast the value seems to jump up or down (depending on which way you're turning them) Should I try using the custom encoder mode, if so any help with it? This is all running off a pic based core board, with a modified midibox16e without ledrings program. I've used this one as I don't require LED rings and I've added extra encoders to the code for my needs Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi Steve, if the encoders are working fine in absolute mode, then this issue isn't hardware related. And the application should also run fine. You can verify this with the MIDI IN monitor in MIOS Studio: does it show the value 01 when the encoder is moved clockwise, and 7f when the encoder is moved counter-clockwise? Maybe your DAW expects a different format for the relative MIDI events, do you have any documentation about this? Best Regards, Thorsten.

steve savage Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi TK, Ah that's good to know then! I'm building a Max for live patch to route the encoders to various devices inside Ableton live, it does show the values of 1 and 7f when moved in the correct fashion. But the value is not updated once you keep on rotating, only when you rotate it faster, then it moves to 02 or 7e. So I guess this is something I need to look at inside my max patch. I'll also see what happens within MIIOS Studio... Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve savage Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 So it tested fine in MISO studio! But inside of max it just doesn't see the moving of the encoder slowly? Strange :no: Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
