Transport switchboard

[julien carayon]

Hi to all midiboxers! :)

I'd like to build a switchboard along with my midibox which have all most common-used transport functions:

Play, Record, Stop, Pause,....

The idea behind this switchboard is to make the recording process easier when recording the guitar standing up sincethen  I can control everything about transport with this switchboard (then I won't have to reach my mouse, keyboard to press "play" "stop" "record" so forth...)

What module do I need to build to use this switchboard along with my midibox?

What parts/module to buy?

Any suggestions are  welcomed...

Note: Both the midibox and switchboard will have their own transport switches

Thank you so much... ;)

Hi Julien,

if up to 8 buttons are enough, then you could use the j5_din application. It requires only one core module, the buttons have to be connected to port J5 - it can send any MIDI events you want (by default Note events)

For more then 8 buttons (or additional LEDs), a DIN and DOUT module is required beside of the core, MIDIO128 is the recommented application for this case

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hello Thorsten!

Thank you so much for replying! Its' great!

Very detailed answer as well!

However: do you mean I need to buy an extra core module ? (I'm going to use 4/6 switches on my floorboard)

Thank you again  ;)

hi,

nah Tk is saying that if you need only up to 8 switches you don't need anything but a core module, if you want mor controls or leds, you will need to also build din or dout modules which connect to the core

cheers, marcel
