zeh Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Forum,i was searching for about 2 hours now, i cant find the answer.i want to midify an old audiomixer, which has 128 analog, and 96 digital buttons/pots/fadersis it possible to connect 128 analog inputs ? i dont understand that core slave stuff. is it possible to connect 2xAINX to one core, 2xAINX to another core, and then connect the 2 cores? if this will result in 2 different midi outputs, or is it one ?i read about the midibox NG, wich allows connection of 128 analog inputs, but i cant find it anywhere. is it dead ?thanks in advance-zeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hi zeh,these are some good questions:- I found the answer in the C function-listing:up to 64 pots can be connected via AIN multiplexersSo only two AIN-modules can be connected to one Core.- You can find an explanation of the LINK concept here: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_link.htmlbasically, the two cores are interconnected and the midi stream gets "tunneled" so you only have one MIDI I/O. The downside of it is that I doubt linking is supported by any prewritten MB Midi-Controller application (like MB64/E), so you'd have to program your own app. But the linking-features are nearly all handled by MIOS, so if you got some minimal experience in programming, it shouldn't be a big problem...You may want to take a look at the function listing to get an impression: http://www.ucapps.de/cmios_fun.htmlAs you could use the source of the "ain64_din128_dout128" application as starting point, I think it's a manageable task :)See C-Applications on bottom of the download page.- and I can't find anything about the NG, too. sorry :-\hope this helps a bit ;)best regards,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeh Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 of course, this helps. its time to start coding mios stuff i think. i have managed to never code any line of mios code until now :) but i think the time has come. i will try it. many posts will follow :) but i will build the hardware stuff first. thanks!-zeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therezin Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 The only time I found references to the MIDIbox NG it was used also referred to as the LC, could the two be the same? I can't find any references to how many AINs the LC can handle when you're not using motorfaders, at least in the time I have available at work while my boss is out of the office...

doc Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 The only time I found references to the MIDIbox NG it was used also referred to as the LC, could the two be the same?YeppI can't find any references to how many AINs the LC can handle when you're not using motorfadersFurthermore: I also can't find anything that even a single AIN is supportet in the LC.I think AIN was never the intention of the LC.greetsDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBunsen Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Watch out though - the pots in the mixing desk are likely to be logarythmic taper, and MIOS requires linear taper.What's the desk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrygr Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 One workaround would be to let the two cores work independantly and connect them via Midi.I actgually pulled an old Spirit Folio apart last night for the same purpose. Never occured to me about the logarithmic taper ???Any workaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
