Dout as drum triggers

[Jaicen]

Hey, I was wondering if it could be possible to produce pulse outputs from a Dout module that will respond to MIDI note messages that can be used to trigger external drums.

I have a nice little DR-110 drum machine which i'd like to mod for external triggering of sounds via MIDI since it has no way of syncing to my PC. Has anybody done anything similar??

Hi Jaicen,

I know several people who have used the MIDIO128 application for triggering drum modules

TK (or anyone else) I've noticed this wiki page about adding 32 trigger/gate outs to the MIDIbox CV.  I have tried searching for the answer to this question but I can't find it.

How does the SEQ support external analog trigger/gates?  I see the original AOUT module page says it has 8 gate outs, but I see no mention of it on the AOUT_LC page or the SEQ documentation.  Would it be possible (user coded) to add support for the DOUTx4 hack described in the wiki to the SEQ?

Thankyou, and please excuse me if I am being dim  ::)  Sorry to bump an old topic

yes, you are right, MBSEQ neither supports the AOUT_LC module, nor more than 4 triggers when the normal AOUT module is used. I just have added this request to the MBSEQ V3 wishlist

Supporting more than 4 gates will require some programming effort at my side, since gates are currently handled channel based, and not note based.

If somebody wants to implement it by himself: the changes have to be made in midi_evnt.inc, MIDI_EVNT_Send_Fx function

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks for your quick reply Thorsten.  On a slightly related topic, is it possible in drum mode to mute one drum only, or can you mute only a group of 3 voices? (As the drum mode is tripled on the original mode)

You can only mute a group of 3 voices

Drum mode is a real tinkering solution, my target was to bring this into the firmware with as less code changes as possible (I don't use it by myself, it was requested by hallucinogen), and with no panel changes...

Best Regards, Thorsten.

And for that we are all grateful :)  Thankyou.
