midi modifier

[squirrel]

i'm using a midio128 to change one message into several different messages. it seems to work spuraticly. i'm just jumping the data in to the data out on the PIC. is something else i should be doing? I don't really want to physically hook up the required din & diout modues to each other.can anyone help?

Hi Squirrel, welcome aboard!

No answers for marquee tag users! ;D

I'll get some more information while I wait for you to fix that ;)

DIN and DOUTs?

Working sporadically? How so? is it dropping entire sysex strings, or just individual bytes, or what?

[squirrel]

sentences are correct on the first input....then a couple of senteces are wrong.  the Dout numbers are opposite to the din numbers. and it seems to be dropping every eighth din. very confusing.

How fast are the signals on the DINs changing?

The update period is 1 mS - are changes within a time window of 2 mS?

Is the debouncing function disabled?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

the debounce isn't disabled......pins 19 & 20 are solderd to gether so as to not need din or dout chips......I just want to modify the midi output on certain input messages.

Connecting the serial input directly with the serial output (pin 19&20) is an illegal operation mode - this cannot work.

It still isn't clear to me, what are you planning to do exactly. Maybe there is a simple software solution? Some more details about your concrete plans would be helpful.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I'm in a rock band,24seven,(myspace.com/24seven1....check us out), and my drummer uses electric drums. i want to use his midi out (note on and note off) to control my light board. light board receives midi note on and off for channel, chase, and flash functions. the durms output one note on/off message and i need mutiple note on/off messages to the light controller. i would like to choose which lights come on with a single drum strike.

For this, midio128 is not the right application. It is used for reading and outputting logic signals like switches, keyboards, driving relays, leds etc.

You are already completely in the MIDI domain, having both drums outputting MIDI and light controller accepting midi. Did you try to receive and send midi via DIN/DOUTs? This won´t work.

What you want is the MIDI Filter/Processor - with this you can make a little program that interprets received MIDI and sends one or more events depending on the input.

i don't know how to program in C. is there a config file like other MIOS apps. to modify the data?I'm not looking for the easy way ot neccesarily, i just don't want to re-learn how to pogram(self taught).

[squirrel]

is my question to dumb for an answer? I have a show to play today so i guess i won't be learning C today.can anyone help?please?

Sorry squirrel, unless you are using an existing application as found on ucapps.de, you will need to learn to program in C or ASM.

MIDI Processor May be right for you

[squirrel]

i it and get back to you after i check out midi processor.

[squirrel]

i'm lost...can anyone help. for example,i need input  "note on 23" to be output to "note off 54, note off 56, note on 58, note on 60"

assistance would be really cool. 

[stryd_one]

Did you look at the examples at the bottom of the C Interface page?

They will show you how to send notes, and how to respond to incoming notes... Then you're set :)

[squirrel]

i'll give it a shot.
