ThoR Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hi all, im king of new to the MIDI world and have a lot of newbie questions, so if someone could clear the path 4 me i would be preciated.i have a P4 2.4GhZ 512 DDR 120GB Computer with Cubase SX 2.0 Installed ( the soundcard is the shitty thing integrated with the MB )I also have a casio Keyboard plugged in thoug midi and i could get a low latency with sampletank (10 ms using KS ASIO2 Drivers).The questions are:On cubase i saw u could add a lot of midi devices, but i got lost tring to create one (i want to build a MidiBox64 just don´t have a lot of $$$ lately), but i found it to be not that easy... is there a template around somewere?the second thing is that i saw the MidiBox SEQ, and i have absolutely no idea what it is used for jejejej, i would like if someone could explain me the Midi Sequencer concept :PTHX in advance, and forgive the very very NEWBIE Questions...Keep up the good work.ThoR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hi Thor,i want to build a MidiBox64 just don´t have a lot of $$$ lately), but i found it to be not that easy... is there a template around somewere?First you should think about using encoders (MidiBox64E) instead of Potentiometers (MIDIBox64). Encoders are much more flexible.There is a tutorial for the MIDIBox64 (The older one, but the steps to build are the same with the new one):http://www.midibox.org/users/tor_arne/midibox64_walkthrough/index.htmlThen you should read carefully the Pages about the MBHP (MIDIBOX Hardware platform). Everything is based on this:http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp.htmlOn this page you will find "Module Diagramms" which show you how to connect the modules and which modules you need for which project.the second thing is that i saw the MidiBox SEQ, and i have absolutely no idea what it is used for jejejej, i would like if someone could explain me the Midi Sequencer concept Cubase is a sequencer ;D ;D ;DWith a sequencer you can program "sequences" ;D of notes and the mashine will play them for you. This is very useful for playing drums and other sounds when you need htem repeat often. More exact explanation:http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tutr/whatsseq.htmIn contrast to Cubase and other software sequencers the MIDIBox SEQ gives you much more possibilities:- It's more intuitive to tweak the sound via real knobs instaed of using your muose.- You can tweak the sounds in realtime (while you hear them)!Hope this helped.Raphael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoR Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 yeap THX raphael that helped out a lot :Pi didn{t explain myself well on the Cubase Part, the real question would be how does MidiBox integrate into cubase ( i have read a few thing on the manual about MIDI remote control, but i doesnt explain too much aboun unknown hardware)THXThoR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Sorry Thor, I cannot say anything about cubase midi remote control (I use Samplitude which is not the best coice for midi sequencing but the best for audio ;D).Please search the forum for threads on cubase automation. I know thre are some guys who use cubase with MIDIBoxes out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi,the answer is quite simple....with a generic controller in cubase you can assign (almost) any function in cubase to a pot or a pushbutton on your MB64. Then you'll control this function with the box instead of the mouse.greetsDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
