Use of buttons for sending midi on off note events

[banneduser]

Could I make a midibox with buttons that I could use to say trigger samples? I dont care about velocty, just midi note on off , thanks

sure.... if you have a program or hardware capable of receiving the midi  ::)

LO is right about the soft/hware. You could easily use the almost free drum sampler vst plugin that comes on the cover of "computer music" magazine, though I'm not sure how stable it is.

find out which keys on your midi keyboard trigger the samples (or borrow one) then use the 'midi learn' function of the midibox to assign these same keys to each of the buttons on the midibox.

 This would probably be the cheapest and easiest (and very cool) project possible on the midibox.......Hey Thorsten, maybe I could (or anyone) make a 'how to' project page of such a device, and we could suggest that all newcomers try this project first, before proceeding onto bigger projects!! (the beauty of the MBHP!!!)

Hope you had a great holiday Thorsten 8), What are you doing back so soon!!!!!????????? :-/

bye from Steve

btw I almost have all the bits for my LC emulation now!!

(will post part order numbers and suppliers in Australia soon)

Step by step 'HowTo's and Walkthroughs written by people who don't see the projects from the technical side are very welcome!

Best Regards, Thorsten.
