TK. Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hi,the LEDs can be accessed by the same events which have been assigned to the buttons. Unfortunately it isn't possible to control them by alternative MIDI messages, unless you are using a BankStick (in this case the LED events are always the events which have been stored in internal memory), or the MIDIO128 firmware --- or MIOS of course ;-)Best Regards, Thorsten.

noskule Posted March 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 oh i see, that means the dout config dident change by the bankstickoki think i got it, will also try the new pic . ..and tanx for all the nice things hernoskule :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uclaros Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I have a question on the same subject!If i have 32 buttons and each one is configured to send a value on a specific control - in my case #12- (something like a mechanicaly detended encoder) sending values from 0 through 32 - I'm not using an encoder 'cause I dont want 33 to 126- , how can I have one led for each button, in order to know what the value of control #12 is at every time?

TK. Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 This requires some kind of "radio button" function (means: one LED active at one time). With MIDIbox64 this can be implemented with meta events, with MIOS you just have to insert the code into an existing application (I can provide an example if necessary)Best Regards, Thorsten.

noskule Posted April 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 hi againi tryed it with the bank stick, and now the bouth modus works on the same time . . .means that the led shines if the midibox receives the appropriate msg and also if i press the button.my config is: midileds on, midi status ledi did try in diffrent ways but always the same . . ..i'm doing somthing wrong, or is this normal ?

TK. Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Hi Noskule,now you have to modify the "LED map" with the editor so that only the received status will be displayed.For the first shift register change it from "DIN SR #1 (Button ID #0-7)" to "MIDI Status rec. for Entry #0-7", for the second "DIN SR #2 (Button ID #8-15)" to "MIDI Status rec. for Entry #8-15", etcBest Regards, Thorsten.

rogic Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I've got some confusion about DOUT as well:Is it possible to make LEDs light up in some kind of toggle-mode? First push of button -> LED lights up, second push -> LED turns offI need mb64 for Traktor, and it will be great if LEDs can behave like switches in the software (this is done by setting 'toggle' option for each button in Traktor).And what can be done with meta events? I feel like I am having a great hardware but dunno how to use it to get the maximum :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Hi Rogic,you can just activate the toggle function of the MB64 for each button seperately, in this mode the LED will indicate the status. In this case the toggle function of Traktor should be deactivated!Meta events: for virtual instruments not interesting. Meta events are programmed sequences of MIDI data and useful for MIDI devices which are working with SysEx messages or similar.Best Regards, Thorsten.
