SID Knobs (re)assignable on the fly?

[ohmstudiste]

I plan on making a SID with one SID, LCD and the matrix. Since 21 buttons and 1 encoder are necessar, there is room on one DIN for 4 more knobs. I assume on one DIN you can mix buttons and switch.

So for 1 sid with LCD and Matrix I need at least 6 + 15 buttons = 21 buttons.

Now, the important question I asked myself is: Is it possible to change the mapping of these 4 knobs whenever I want or do they have to be mapped in the  cs_menu_etcetc file once and for all ? For instance can I have the first button to be mapped to cutoff in one patch and then assign it to env 1 attack  in another  patch (or even change it in the same patch) ? In that case 4 encoders could be enough to have fun and control many parameters...

You mean buttons and encoders? Yes.

It´s not possible to configure encoder functions from the surface, you have to do that in the cs_menu_...

But there´s a way: On my "Der Brat" (search in MB of the week) I´ve made a custom functions layer for encoders. If you want to have 4 encoders, you could e.g. use the normal OSC encoders and put different functions on it. They already have 3 layers and there´s not much programming necessary to add even more layers. So you could use e.g. 4,5 or 6 layers on these encoders. But you´ll need another DIN port for a layer select button (two layer up/down buttons could also be programmed, or a select button for every layer). If you put another DIN_X1 in there anyway I´d suggest to use 5 encoders because you can have a complete envelope this way.

If you need help with programming, just ask :)

Thanx for the reply !

Yes I meant Buttons and encoders.

Guess if I had another DIN I can indeed had a fifth encoder and use buttons to switch layers. That's a good idea. The whole idea was to avoid the use of a second DIN but I guess I'll do it.

Since I'll add the matrix, I guess I need 2 DOUT for the leds and there will be leds left for the layers too.

I'll probably need help in programming but first I need help to build the SID  ;)

Thanx again
