bosone Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 i have the old midibox 16 (v1.908 i think), and just today i mounted the LCD screen. everything works perfect, but when i set the "snap" or "relative" or "parallax" mde nothing happens!!! it seems that the pot behaviour is always set to "normal".the behaviour is as following:i switch to "snap" modei set layer 1 and all pots are at 0i set layer 2 and all pots are at 0now i turn back to layer 1 and move pot 1 to 64.when i set layer 2, the pot 1 is at 64!! (even in the display!!!) i don't see the "arrows" that are supposed to indicate pot position before the "snap"... the only moment in which i see the arrows in the display is aftr startup...what can be? ???i have another question: if i burn the latsest midibox HP firmware in my PIC even with the old midibox16 hardware and PCB will it work?thanks!!

TK. Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi Matteo,as far as I know you are using an unofficial release which bypasses the "pot behaviour" menu and sets the mode directly depending on a logic level of pin C.4So, before you are unhappy with this solution, just switch to V1.910There is only one change necessary: RC4 has to be connected with the R/W input of the LCD. See the red wire http://www.ucapps.de/midibox/midibox_plus_16.pdfBest Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosone Posted March 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 i tried to burn the 1.909 version downloaded some time ago, but the behaviour remains the same...the queation is: when i change the layer in my midibox16 in snap mode, should appear the arrows in the display, showing the pot positions??this do not happeni tried both with merger on (and masterkeyb in midibox in) and merger off (and midibox in connected to my soundcard midi ouput, with soundcard input connected to soundcard output)...i have an idea about bypassing this problem with a short modification of the code, taking a "snapshot" of the setup just before bankswitch and restoring it just after....maybe i can learn PIC programming!

TK. Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Ok, now I know what you mean. This is not a bug in the snap mode, but just another variation. When you take a look to the MB64 SFB event charthttp://www.ucapps.de/midibox/midibox64_sfb_table.txt you will notice that MB64 offers the possibility to switch banks with automatic saving. It depends on the "work-flow" which mode is the right for you. However, in MIDIbox Plus there wasn't place to integrate such an option into the menu, but sure, you can try it :) I will send you the source code.Best Regards, Thorsten.
