8 encoder for 16 track

[folly]

Hi all!  You can use 8 encoder for 16 midi tracks? change the function with a switch?

 

thank!

Yes. The documentation for the Midibox 64E or Midibox NG should explain this pretty well.  
 
If if this is all the functionality you'll need, the programming tutorials on ucapps.de should get you most of the way. See Sending relative MIDI events with rotary encoders and then add a button that will increment or decrement the offset for the track.

The question was related to MIDIbox NG.

 

Here a configuration example for 4 banks: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fcontrollers%2Fmidibox_ng_v1%2Fcfg%2Ftests%2Fencbanks.ngc

 

It shows how to send different CCs, but you could change the configuration to select different channels instead.

 

E.g. instead of:

# Bank 2
EVENT_ENC    id= 17  hw_id =  1  bank=2  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:1    fwd_to_lcd=1  type=CC     chn= 1 cc= 32   range=  0:127 offset=  0  ports=1000100000001000  lcd_pos=1:1:1  label="ENC #%3i    %3d@(1:1:2)%B" 
EVENT_ENC    id= 18  hw_id =  2  bank=2  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:2    fwd_to_lcd=1  type=CC     chn= 1 cc= 33   range=  0:127 offset=  0  ports=1000100000001000  lcd_pos=1:1:1  label="ENC #%3i    %3d@(1:2:2)%B" 
EVENT_ENC    id= 19  hw_id =  3  bank=2  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:3    fwd_to_lcd=1  type=CC     chn= 1 cc= 34   range=  0:127 offset=  0  ports=1000100000001000  lcd_pos=1:1:1  label="ENC #%3i    %3d@(1:3:2)%B" 

write:

# Bank 2
EVENT_ENC    id= 17  hw_id =  1  bank=2  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:1    fwd_to_lcd=1  type=CC     chn= 2 cc= 16   range=  0:127 offset=  0  ports=1000100000001000  lcd_pos=1:1:1  label="ENC #%3i    %3d@(1:1:2)%B" 
EVENT_ENC    id= 18  hw_id =  2  bank=2  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:2    fwd_to_lcd=1  type=CC     chn= 2 cc= 17   range=  0:127 offset=  0  ports=1000100000001000  lcd_pos=1:1:1  label="ENC #%3i    %3d@(1:2:2)%B" 
EVENT_ENC    id= 19  hw_id =  3  bank=2  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:3    fwd_to_lcd=1  type=CC     chn= 2 cc= 18   range=  0:127 offset=  0  ports=1000100000001000  lcd_pos=1:1:1  label="ENC #%3i    %3d@(1:3:2)%B" 
...

THANK YOU  TK!!

I try then I tell you.

with a single button I can change bank 1 and bank 2?

[TK.]

Yes.

 

The example shows:

EVENT_BUTTON id=2000  type=Meta   meta=SetBank   button_mode=OnOnly range=1:1

With:

EVENT_BUTTON id=2000  type=Meta   meta=SetBank   button_mode=OnOff range=0:1

the button would set the second bank when press, and the first bank when depressed

 

Or with:

EVENT_BUTTON id=2000  type=Meta   meta=SetBank   button_mode=Toggle range=0:1

the button would toggle between the first and second bank
