Send learned value only when button pressed, don't send a zero value when button released. Send learned value when button pressed, send zero when button released. This is favorable, if all pots or buttons should be quickly assigned to unique numbers:Ī special feature is implemented for the buttons: the behaviour of every button can be specified with the Snapshot Button before a event will be assigned to it: It is also possible to add the controller value automatically. MIDIbox offers a special function for this, just select it with the menu buttons: But sometimes, it is usefull to assign all pots or buttons with the same controller but for different channels. "Learn Single" means, that the controller will be learned from one Pot or Button, only. If a button should learn the event, just push the button. If you want to assign the event to a pot, just turn it "total right" and to "total left". The MIDIbox regogninzes all MIDI events and displays the last received one: Send a controller to the MIDIbox (just use your Synth or MIDI-OX for this). Now, the box waits for a message from MIDI IN: How does it work: plug a MIDI cable from the MIDI IN port of the MIDIbox to the MIDI Out port of your keyboard or PC. The MIDI Learn function allows to customize the pots and buttons for your own needs. In MTC mode, the received MIDI Time Code will be displayed. In Dec mode, the number of the turned pot and the sent value will be displayed. In Hex mode, the last two sent Pot MIDI events will be displayed. At the lower line, a bar for every pot is displayed. The circles at the right upper corner are for the MIDI buttons. The N stands for "normal pot behaviour" (see below). At the left upper corner the selected bank is displayed. In this submenu five different display modes are selectable by the Menu-Left/Right buttons: The menu page is selected by the Menu-Left/Right Button, and with the Menu-Exec Button the submenu can be invoked and leaved.īelow an introduction of the different submenus: The bank setups can be saved and exchanged via SysEx Dumps. MIDIbox provides sixteen full customizable banks. So you can spread it on some banks and just switch between the parameters by changing the bank. Normaly you don't need to change it at the same time. For instance the AWE soundcard provides over 32 soundparameters. Sixteen Knobs are available, but this is not enough for modifing complex sounds. If this doesnt help, curse Wintendo and your soundcard!Ī Debug HowTo can be found here. If not: check the circuit, the cable, your Wintendo installation.

I recommend the MIDI-OX tool from Jamie O'Connell and Jerry Jorgenrud which is really great! Most MIDI monitors provide the possibility to forward MIDI data to another MIDI device like your soundcard or software synthesizer.
