jeroddumas Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I just finished building my midibox plus circut on vectorboard and that sucks. My question is is there anyway to wire up bank select buttons. I see that in the firmware, but how would I wire them in, because that is not in the schematics. Any help is appreciated. Quote

Steven_C Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 I think that pins 33 to 36 of the PIC are where the switches connect. (previously this was for midi channel selection. sounds like you have an old schematic??) not sure if these switches should be n.o. or spst though.Did you d/L the schematic from the midibox plus page, 16 knob version??good luck!!bye, from Steve Quote

jeroddumas Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Posted May 20, 2003 yes, i downloaded the new schematic, what i need to know is what pins do the Bank Buttons connect to? Quote

Sephult Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 The midibox plus 16 uses Pins 33-36 like Steven said.The 4 pins are for the binary equivalent of the bank.ex.off-off-off-on would be bank one....off-off-on-off would be bank two....off-off-on-on would be bank three....You get it?-Sephult Quote

jeroddumas Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Posted May 20, 2003 okay I understand that, but what is the bb variation for the firmware. It says something about bank select buttons instead of switches. Quote

Steven_C Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 try reading the explanation under 'firmwares' on the midibox plus page. as far as I understand (and remember, I used my mb16 for parts :P!!) you have a choice between a bankbutton version, and a bankswitch version.... I can't remember how the menu handling of these functions were.... but I think the bb version is better, that's all I rememberbye, from Steveedit... the buttons go between the aforementioned pins, and groundgood luck!

Guest scriptor909 Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 Hi jeroddumas,I would recommend you to build the MIDIBox Plus with 16 Pots and 16 Buttons. I´ll post a new firmwareversion to Thorsten in a few days. In my eyes this version will improve the handling of the MIDIBox. With a bankstick you will be able to save 16 banks * 4 pages *16 Potevents. Two Buttons will select one of 4 pages to allow faster access to 64 pots, so all 16 pots are assigned with 4 different selectable events. On the bankstick are also stored the names of the potevents. 10 MIDI-buttons will be available, too (also in 4 pages per bank).best regardsScriptor Quote
