doc Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 There's a great difference between pot and encoder.These are completely different partsA pot changes the resistor (analog) while changing the value and a rotary encoder "sends" on/off messages (digital).Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LO Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 A pot is only turning once ie not quite 360 deg where an encoder can spin round & round like a jog/scrub wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intosite Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 JUst checking so the Pots are connected to the AIN module and the encoders to DIN?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 MIDIbox SID doesn't support pots, but only rotary encoders. Thats the better solution anyhow - you want to have jumpless switching when changing the oscillator, LFO, ENV, SID number - or the whole patchBest Regards, Thorsten.

intosite Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Oh okie,Apologies for not stating clearly, I was actually think of the connection to the MB Core, midibox64? Not refering to the SID.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
