midibox LC mtc display

[Guest damien]

Hello,

I've got 3 question for you :)

1.

Is it possible to add the mtc display 88888888 to the MB lc like the original Mackie? does it require a 2nd core with the last MTC board ?

2.

Is it possible to add the channel assignement display 88 ( 8 digits leds) to the MB LC ?

3.

Is it possible to connect a 8 chanel extension  to the main MB LC that will be driven like the original Mackie LC desk mixer , without problem of chanel and CC control assignement???

Thank you for your answer, And your great work.

You make a great work thorsten!!! thank you.

PS:

Do you think about  making  the use of the 5" display possible for the midibox LC???

Hi Damien,

when you take a look to this picture: http://www.midibox.org/midibox_lc_photos/47.html

you will notice that the MTC and status digits are already displayed :)

Unfortunately it isn't possible to add a LC extension without a second core, since the "stupid" protocol demands for a dedicated MIDI interface for each device. :-/

Best Regards, Thorsten.

oups...

I'm a little blind! I've not seen the TC displayed under the pots setup, on the picture   :o

You think about everything thorsten. You're brillant!

According what you've said juste before, it's seems to be possible to add an extension to the main Midibox LC but with a second core .Right I think I'll do that way.

I'll make a 16 chanels desk so. with two cores ( like 2 Mdibox LC ).

But Is it possible to control the extension faders with the main desk selection buttons ( FX, send ,EQ select..)

Like in the mackie XT, because the XT has no buttons on the right.

I'm interested in doing such a thing...

but in a smaller version ... It' would be so nice !

Do you think  it's possible :

1 Main desk midibox LC clone

2 XT

Thank you for your tips.

Hi Damien,

the XT is controlled by the host application over a second MIDI interface, you are able to setup the host app. on a way that it automatically extends the fader groups - the firmware itself doesn't require any change for this setup. :)

Best Regards, Thorsten.
