Guest basstien Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi,I would like add a midi synchro to Boss RC-20 pedal (a fabulous looping effect for instrument but no midi signal)I 'm not an electronic tech, and I ask me if add midi is possible on this system ???I know a led blink in tempo on pedal, maybe it is a interresting point to wired....If u have an idee and if u think it is possible to plug something into the pedal I'm interessting ;DThanksBasstienbasstien@nebkas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebius Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi,If you want RC-20 to follow midiclock from external device, you could use something like DINer (http://www.angelfire.com/geek/srlabs/diner.html) to send steady stream of quarter note pulses, and wire transistor as switch between contacts of the RC-20's tap tempo button ;)Only problem is that those pulses must be disconnected, if other (manual) tempo than from midi stream is wanted or if time signature needs to be changed.. ;)) I think that stopping device sending midiclock works for this... (ie. DINer doesn't send pulses, when "MMC stop" command is recognised)-- Then, if you want rc-20 to be master clock, ie. sending midi clock.. well. I think you are a bit out of luck.. I haven't came across "diy tap tempo" projects.. (Of cource someone with coding skills could realise that too)Bye, Moebiusmodify: UUps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arumblack Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 This page describes how to get a gate signal from any flashing led. It should only require a simple mios app to convert that signal to a midi clock. I unfortunately cannot offer to code the app for you, as I haven't learned how to do so yet.http://www.hoohahrecords.com/resfreq/mods/me20a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
