TM 4 BLM16 - TriggerMatrix remote via BLM16x16x

[Phatline]

V01.0 is up and Running >>> 160117_TM4BLM_V01.0.zip

old versions:

BLM-Scalar-Communication: BLM-UI @ skelleton level.... no Midiprocessing @ all but some basic Matrix-Userinterface Code (for programmers only...stripped down a bit...) >>> 160110_blm_scalar_communication.zip

 

first a view vocables:

TM short for TriggerMatrix? >http://midibox.org/forums/topic/18839-trigger-matrix-note-processing/

BLM16x16x short for ButtonLedMatrix?  > http://midibox.org/forums/topic/19736-blm-16x16x-build-guide

Usage? > http://midibox.org/forums/topic/19207-tekkstar-midification-of-a-tama-techstar-306/

 

The Trigger Matrix is the Midi-Center in my Live-Music-Equipment, it interconnect follwing Device-groups:

I will remote my Triggermatrix-Project via the BLM16x16x, they are comunicating together via Midi:

Programming-Equipment:

 

BLM Layout 4 the Perform-Mode, the 2nd Mode is the EDIT-Mode, where i can change the Trigger-Routing (not displayed here)

Melody Retrigger, take the incoming Melody Notes from the Keyboard and trigger it with the Incoming DrumTriggers

Drum-Trigs are simple Trigger-Routes

The 4 Pots on the BLM are not used (since i removed them)

2x 2x40LCD + 17 Encoders + 2 Buttons are the UI 4 the TM, the rest is controlled via BLM

thx to TK and his BLM-Driver... it works simple and fast as hell now... also code is reduced much....factor 50 or more...

 

work in process

UI-Updates on the TriggerMatrix-Side:

from a bulk-order i have more then enough 2x40? LCDs....good point to make something with it

use this crimp-able Connectors:

 

1st Display (up), Deep edit things - like give the track a name, or change the ProgramChange-Bank, or load tracks, or LiveSets (in Future)

2nd Display (down), Fast Access -Performance, like Random-Kill, Decay-Time, Velocity Offset - there are 2x4 Encoder because, i split the whole output-Matrix in 2 Parts:

Line0: Melody Retrigger-Parts   (Bass, Lead,  Space Synths, Samplers)

Line1: Mono   Retrigger-Parts    (for Drums, Filters usw)

i want to perform them separately, with much space for my fingers...a 2x4 LED-Bar-Encoder Board would be nice instead!

since i had a MB-SEQ-CS-PCB many years now - unused, without any case or frontpanel....

i decidet to hold it and use it

i programm now a TriggerMatrix version for a more generic UI...  so other people can "reUse" it, i skip my prototype UI.

BLM16x16+x ( @latigid on )

MB-SEQ-CS ( @Wilba )

MB-LRE8x2CS ( @Fairlightiii )

To adapt my code i had to find out the pin-out of the new UI... here is the result:

programming setup:

 

Edited March 25, 2016 by Phatline

[Phatline]

a jam session with the old UI:

 

Triggermatrix as DrumSequencer, Trigger-Router, Melody-Retrigger > Soundengine: Nord3(efx), NordDrum2, KorgER2

2x Boss RC300 as Loopstation for Melody Loops (Subouts are routed to my filterdistortionADR-Drumtriggered-device...)

LiveGituar on a Gutiarsynth RC20 (that makes them etnical sounds, no not the drums they are typical NordDrum2 yesss)

Looks like a really nice setup! Also good work on the BLM reimagination.
