thetimboroni Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hey I'm working on an Ableton controller for a senior project (part of our curriculum is to do a project that we work on all year). I have had many sketches and lots of crossed out stuff and added stuff, and finally I have come up with a design that I think I'm happy with. However, since I am new to this whole thing I'm wanting to know what you guys think.It has a total of 62 analog inputs (9 faders, 53 pots) and 47 buttons, so I should be okay with using a core, two AINs and 2 DINs. There will be 44 Leds for the buttons so I think I can get away with just one DOUT.I will be using this for two purposes in a worship setting:-Playing pre-made loops and controlling each instrument's effects-Creating loops on-the-fly via ReWiring to Fruity LoopsSend A will be my master, and Send B will be my headphones.After searching and reading around here, I notice that most people use encoders for tempo. One other thing I saw was two buttons for +1 -1 tempo. Are there any other ways to do tempo b/c I don't wanna use an encoder since that requires buying the MB64e as well (right?).Tell me what you think.Thanks,TIMMIDI Controller.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 heya.... Just a few tips: Pots and sliders are analog, but the buttons are digital, but the mb64e supports both pot/sliders and encoders simultaneously.Hope that helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetimboroni Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 As in, the MB64 would not accept both a DIN and an AIN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 MB64 supports DINx* modules, but not fir encoders.

TK. Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 You can easily add the code for additional encoders to the normal MIDIbox64 application, it's done in the same way like for MB64E: define the encoder pins in mios_tables.inc, and add a routine which sends MIDI events on encoder movements to USER_ENC_NotifyChange, thats allBest Regards, Thorsten.

tos Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 NOW I AM CONFUSED!Someone told me that I HAVE TO use MB64E if I want encoders (specific 2xScratch dials, 12xEffect "pots"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
