jeb Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 hello,i've just ordered kits in order to build a midibox.i'd like to have 96 inputs instead of 64...so i've ordered 3 modules AINX4....will it be possible to chain these 3 modules with onlyone core module ?thanks in advance :!!!j.
goyousalukis Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Sorry, but I'm pretty sure the max is 64 for each core....Justin
stryd_one Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 The core will support the 96 inputs but your application may not.
Tanstaafl Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 you will need 2 cores and 4 ains.... i ran up against this with my MoogModular controller.www.ggbnet.com/midibox.html
jeb Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks for these answers.Is it possible to connect : 2*AINX ( = 64 inputs) and 1*DINX ( = 32 inputs ) on only one CORE module ?j.
audiocommander Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 hey jeb, no need to double-post ;)(although I enjoyed training my french)
jeb Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 hello,maybe you could help me... i've posted a message in frenchabout what do we call a button ?does AIN command * push-button ? like a key of a keyboard ?* switches :(http://www.gotronic.fr/catalog/commut/inverseur1.htm)* both ?does DIN command * push-button ? like a key of a keyboard ?* switches :(http://www.gotronic.fr/catalog/commut/inverseur1.htm)* both ?thanks in advance,j
audiocommander Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 AIN measures Analogue Voltage Ranges (typ. 0V to 5V), e.g. if you have 2.5V on AIN/Pin0, is is likely a Midi Message with the value 64 or 65 will be sent (depending on the application, of course). You typically connect a potentiometer (10k, linear, either round pot or fader) to an AIN.DIN checks the logical level of digital input line, that means: 5V OR 0V (logic HIGH and LOW). You can connect all kinds of switches, buttons, knobs or encoders.So: AIN is Analoge Range, DIN is Digital Input.A piano keyboard normally involves Digital Input (key down, key up), sometimes also AIN (aftertouch amount -> pressure range!).There are multistate switches like the one in your link (-> for more than one pole you need multiple pins), buttons to toggle, snap; radio-button groups... that's too much to tell. Take a look in an electronic store or see the parts FAQ in the Wiki.Best,Michael ;)
jeb Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Posted May 26, 2006 hello,thanks for your answer. imagine I use a switch ON/OFF (http://www.gotronic.fr/commut-opt/07000-opt.jpg) with DINX.when I switch the button, will midibox send just a message of :* position-change (the box doesn't know if it's ON or OFF, but there is a change of state) * the box sends ON/OFF if I switch to ON/OFF ?do you understand what I mean ?I want to command a ON/OFF switch for Minimoog plugin withmy switch (http://www.gotronic.fr/commut-opt/07000-opt.jpg).If the box just sends a position-change message, it willdepend on the position the switch had at the beginning(like an encoder....).To sum up, my question is : I don't want my switch ON/OFF todepend on the state at the beginning. When I switch to OFF,I want my plugin switch to be OFF.J
audiocommander Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 well, I think you really should read the basic docs like:http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=what_is_a_midiboxhttp://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=introduction_to_ucapps.de(normally this is done before ordering ;) )and maybe you should look out for a beginner's electronic book. There are plenty of them.To come back to your question: A switch is just ON or OFF, but your Midibox does nothing without a program (application). As there are dozens of different applications and the possibility to code custom apps, there is no unique answer.Look into the C-Skeleton, if you want to code your application by yourself (See http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=application_development). You get notified by a toggle ([tt]DIN_NotifyChange()[/tt]), the value is submitted, too. Also, you can check the state of any pin at any given time.;)Michael
