fcebreros Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi, Is there a way to change the BPM (fire a BPM preset) with a MIDI controller? Best FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 No, there is no way with the current firmware. Which possibilities do you have with your MIDI controller? Would SysEx be fine? Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcebreros Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi TK, I have a FCB1010 and I can't send sysex. I can send a note, program change or controller only. Thanks for the prompt answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsotericLabs Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 maybe this is slightly different from what fcerberos has in mind, but: What if we could Tap Tempo the SEQ V4 from a remote controller, with a cc or a note or something? I mean, it has a tap tempo button like many other devices. It also has remote functions for external control, see http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fschematics%2Fmidibox_seq%2Fmbseqv3_remote_functions.ps. Maybe it is possible to link a remote key to the tap tempo function? Then you would have to program the stop, start and tap tempo note to your FCB1010, which I know can be done.

fcebreros Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yes, that would also work! I already have transport pedals assigned to the FCB at the remote location where I play another instrument. (I'm using the FCB analog switches because for the midi remote you need to send two notes and the FCB can send only one, and have no more left for the tap) So yes, a note on a specific channel for tap tempo would be ideal.

EsotericLabs Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Remote functions can also be accessed through a cc. see MBSEQ_HW.V4, you might want to try and change it. ################################################## # MIDI Remote Keyboard Function ################################################## # The note number which activates the remote function # 96 = C-6 (some MIDI monitors display C-5) # 0 disables the remote keyboard function MIDI_REMOTE_KEY 96 # The CC number which activates the remote function # (e.g. to control it with a footswitch) # Allowed numbers: 1-127 for CC#1..CC#127 # 0 disables the function (default) MIDI_REMOTE_CC 0 So if you put cc 14 in instead, you activate remote mode with a cc 14 => 64 and deactivate it again with cc<64. Then you can save the FCB note for a remote command (play, stop, anything) (btw do you know the FCB UNO firmware?) And maybe maybe, it will only require a minor tweak in the code to get remote tapping. The code for tapping tempo with a button is in seq_ui.c: s32 SEQ_UI_Button_Play(s32 depressed) return SEQ_UI_BPM_TapTempo(); Then there is the remote control routine s32 SEQ_UI_REMOTE_MIDI_Keyboard(u8 key, u8 depressed) with an empty entry at case 0x43: // G-4 return 0; // ignore ( and E-4 & F#6) where we might try instead: case 0x43: // G-4 return SEQ_UI_BPM_TapTempo(); I don't know if there are other dependencies in the code, but TK will certainly know. If my assumptions are correct, may we kindly suggest him this tiny extra functionality? Edited January 24, 2016 by EsotericLabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcebreros Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Wasn't aware of the possibility to use a cc for the remote functions trough the MBSEQ_HW.V4 file configurations. Thanks for the tip!!! (I could use the analog switches for tap) Would be nice anyway to tap with a midi note. Best FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcebreros Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have edited the MBSEQ_HW.V4 file to activate the midi remote with a CC. I'm sending the CC and note with the FCB to the SEQ4 and in some of my sessions it is working, but in others not! Is there something I'm missing?

EsotericLabs Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hmm not anything I can test at this moment, but I will look into it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
