Midi Parameter Feedback?

[leaphion]

Okay. Hi y'all!

I am overwhelmed of this project, it's just so cool that it took my sleeping possibilities away.

Thanks to TK!

Now, I am planning to build a SidBox as soon as I get the money for the kits 'n stuff, but was wondering something before I went to bed (that's why I'm up at 2am writing this post):

Is it possible to get parameter feedback for SidBox?

I mean a parameter feedback in likes of Behringer BCR-2000 and BCF-2000, so that if some value changes in MIDI at the sequencer, it will change at the Box itself?

Umm... Too stupid question, or too hard for anyone to answer? Because I have searched almost everything I tried, and didn't find the answer to this.

Please, enlighten me!

Yes, you can control the MBSID with MIDI CC's :)

Also to add to that, it is very easy to control a lot of things you would want, but other things are more difficult depending on the editor you are using. For example

  46 | 2Eh | Filter CutOff frequency                      |  0-127: val |  127

  47 | 2Fh | Filter Resonance                            |  0-127: val |    0

Using CCs 46 and 47 and any value from 0-127 you can easily modulate the filter frequency and resonance, but:

45 | 2Dh | Filter Mode                                  |            |    0

    |    |  Bit 0: LowPass on/off                    |            |

    |    |  Bit 1: BandPass on/off                    |            |

    |    |  Bit 2: HighPass on/off                    |            |

    |    |  Bit 3: Voice 3 off                          |            |

Using CC 45 and some extra bits you can change the filter mode. I however have not got any of these more elaborate CC instructions to work. I am certain you can, but im using a kenton control freak to record ccs into the sequencer, and its not an easy task to program a complete SID editor.

I think, and I may be wrong as I never got it to work on my sid, that you can press the CC button and record all of your changes into the seq and avoiding making any editors etc or knowing the CC numbers and extra bits (This of course would require a full control surface).

All the best,
