MidiBox64e pot modes

[adamjking]

Hi All,

I am building a Midibox that uses pots and encoders, and following Thorsten's advice am using the Midibox64e application. I am wondering if there is a way to set the pot modes (normal/snap/parallax) for the 64e like you can with the standard Midibox64?

Cheers.

Meeska, I am curious why you want both pots and encoders? The midibox 64e is designed for encoders, so I believe you'd have to modify it if you want pots. In my opinion encoders are much better than pots - you don't have to worry about the different modes, since they won't reset your values when you switch to a different layer. What is the intended purpose of the midibox, what are you going to control?

Justin,

I am building a dj-mixer type controller.  I need pots for the faders (is there an encoder equivilent for sliding pots??) and the eq knobs (finding cheap encoders in Australia is also very hard - pots can be had for $0.50 each). I need the encoders for jog wheels.

Thorsten recommended building a 64e for people who want to mix pots and encoders.

Cheers.
