Guest n0_key Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Ehm, maybe a bit of a silly question, but as I'm planning to build a fully functional MB64 -for kicks and practical use- the function of the 64 LED's is still a bit unclear to me. What do they do or better, where do I use them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest n0_key Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Ok, you got me there... :DOfcourse, LED's are always cool! But seriously, what do they do, besides looking cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 The purpose of the LEDs:if the appr. push-button is in toggle mode, the LED shows if the button is active or notthe LEDs can also be controlled via MIDI. If your MIDI software supports some kind of feedback, you can use the LEDs to display the status of something (the MIDI event which controls the LED is the same like the event assigned to the appr. button)the MB64SEQ uses the LEDs to display the sequencer positionthe LEDs can also be misapplied as christmas illumination, you need:a core module running with any MIDIbox firmwarea DOUT modulethe appr. number of LEDs (different colours increase the effect)some christmas songs in MIDI file formata computer with MIDI player softwarea christmas treehang the LEDs over the christmas tree, plug the MIDI OUT cable of your PC into the MIDI IN jack of the core module, assign the LEDs to some notes of different MIDI channels, start the MIDI file player and enjoy the show ;-)Best Regards, Thorsten.

rogic Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 The purpose of the LEDs:if the appr. push-button is in toggle mode, the LED shows if the button is active or notDoes this mean that every button on DIN corresponds to every LED on DOUT module? Can I make a DOUT module and attach only, for example, 12 LEDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasT Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Yes. Or even more than buttons. You can use LEDs without corresponding buttons to show incoming midi-events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
