EsotericLabs Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hello Midiboxers, I'm now implementing a driver for the DB50XG sound card in NG. Amazing flexibility!! Much easier than hardcoding it into MIDIO128!! There is one issue however: the board takes 16 bit parameters for effect settings. e.g. reverb types are 0x0100, 0x0101, chorus types are 0x4101 0x4108 etcetera. The values are not consecutive, so I looked into the MAP feature. But this has only 8 bit value. Is there a workaround or may I kindly suggest 16 bit map values as a feature request? Another suggestion is adding a midi clock feature. That would allow the NG to become the central control and clock unit in a setup. Meta events might play pause and stop the clock, set the tempo etc. Thats relevant for my setup as I want to control many things with a FCB1010 foot controller. If I could make it send a note, cc or anything to start and stop the clock, that would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsotericLabs Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 16 bit issue workaround found. The trick is in the pg300.ngc template. I still hope a controllable clock makes it into a future release.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 The implementation shouldn't be a big task, I added this to the Wishlist Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK. Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Please try following version: http://www.ucapps.de/mios32/midibox_ng_v1_030_pre2.zip o added new meta events to control the internal MIDI clock generator: MClkPlay, MClkStop, MClkPlayStop, MClkPause, MClkDecTempo, MClkIncTempo, MClkSetTempo. Example can be found under cfg/test/midiclk.ngc o added new string formatting items: %t to display MIDI clock state (Play/Stop) %T to display tempo (BPM) o added new MClk menu page to SCS to control the tempo w/o dedicated controllers Best Regards, Thorsten.
