TK. Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hi *,the PIC16F phase out is nearly finished, here some new stuff:MIOS V1.4brequired for some of the new applicationshttp://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_v1_4b.ziphttp://www.ucapps.de/mios_changelog.htmlMIDIbox64 V2.1http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox64_v2_1.ziphttp://www.ucapps.de/midibox64_changelog.htmlMIDIbox64E V2.0http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox64e_v2_0.ziphttp://www.ucapps.de/midibox64e_changelog.htmlMIDIbox MF V2.0http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox_mf_v2_0.ziphttp://www.ucapps.de/midibox_mf_changelog.htmlMIDIO128 V2.0http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midio128_v2_0.ziphttp://www.ucapps.de/midio128_changelog.htmlMIDImon V2.0http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midimon_v2_0.ziphttp://www.ucapps.de/midimon_changelog.htmlFor the records: the old PIC16F firmwares have been removed from the official pages and can now be found under http://www.ucapps.de/pic16f_firmwares.htmlSome pages now contain additional informations, don't forget to press the reload button of your webbrowser to see the new content (do it also on the navigation bar: Right-click on the bar->Frames->Reload Frame)Have fun! :)Best Regards, Thorsten.

Nat Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Great job Thorsten ! I can't wait to make my midibox work !I have a small question concerning the Midibox 64E. I know there were some limitations when using banksticks over internal memory with the old PIC design (I can't recall what they were though)Is this the same with the MB64E ?Thanks,Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hi Nat,a good question! The limitation of the PIC16F based firmware was, that the MIDI receiver only captured incoming button events from the internal bank. With the MIOS version this is no issue anymore, but now the LEDring patterns are only taken from the internal bank. However, since 4 different patterns can be defined, this should be acceptable.Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I don't understand the new limitation with ledrings, do you mean that you are limited to the 4 predifined patterns ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Now, you are limited to 4 configurable patterns which are stored in the flash memory (internal bank). However, this isn't really a limitation, the Logic Control also supports only 4 different patterns for example.Best Regards, Thorsten.

Nat Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Oh I see, But If I use a bankstick do I still have acess to those 4 patterns ? (4 patterns is more than enough for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 > 4 patterns is more than enough for meof course! Thats the reason why I didn't waste SRAM for those patterns.Sure, you will have access to the patterns regardless if a BankStick is connected or not.Best Regards, Thorsten.

Nat Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Wow, all is fantastic then :)Thanks TK :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 O M GReally a BIG hunk of new stuff, TK. Time to check it all out... :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftZ Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I noticed a period of relative silence from TK on the forum lately, something huge had to popup soon :PFantastic work TK ! we owe you ! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeloq Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Sounds nice!!! Have to work faster;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2k Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Great work T :DCan I use the new midio128 for that keyboard controller I mentioned a in a thread a while back?Basically, I have converted this old keyboard so that the key's act as switches on 2 bus bars (NO and NC). I was thinking I could connect the key switches to DIN inputs which would trigger the NOTE msgs, and then also have the bus bars contacts connected to 2 DIN inputs with perhaps a timer function implemented in mios (sumhow) so the velocity amount could also be calculated...does this make sense?Can this be done? Even a basic keyboard without the velocity sensitivity would do :)BestDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hi Dan,yes, this can be done with MIDIO128, but I cannot present you the source code within 5 minutes... ;-)Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2k Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 ...but I cannot present you the source code within 5 minutes... 10 should be enough surley! :P Great to hear that it's possible - are u saying the timer thing i mentioned for the velocity sensitivity is also acheivable?With a few pointers mebbe I can make this work from my side, be a good one for other diy'ers...BestD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebius Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Sounds nice ;DSo, we are going to see velocity sensitive keyboard scanning code, but is this going to be MIDIO128 specific?Something like MB64 with 2 octave keyboard could be great DIY replacement for numerios different small controller keyboards out there...I also thought about "drum programming MB" - with rubber pads (and piezo) like Akai MPC-series. A lots nicer method than keyboard and no need for special motoric skills like on electric drum pads.. Maybe Admir Salahovics eDrum code could be backported to MIOS form?!Samppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumwide Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 i have started a trigger to midi converter for mios. the code should be able to be pasted into the mb64 code to change some of the pots to trigger inputs.More on this later.
