Title: Is this possible Jamie?
Post by cutlerr on Jun 9^th, 2003, 6:39am

I need to select 1 of 120 patches using 22 midi out buttons I.e, 10 main bank select - A to J and 12 sub bank select - 1 to 12.
Is it possible to have midiox compute the patch from main bank x 12 + sub bank? I.e, main bank B and sub bank 6 would generate midi patch change for 30?
TIA
Ray

I should have added that midiox would need to remember which main bank was last pressed.

I think you might need to use scripting to accomplish this. The closest thing in MIDI-OX is the View | Control Panel... which presents a Roland Style 24 button set.

It wasn't clear to me what the input to MIDI-OX would be, though? Where do the buttons live and what do they issue when pressed?

The input to MIDI-OX would be from a Yamaha organ via mm401.
The B4 Hammond software clone has 120 sequential presets C0 00 to C0 78
I don't have 120 buttons but I do have -
19 buttons which produce C0 20 - C0 32 (10 of these would be used for 'bank select')
Call these A - J

16 others which produce C0 00 - C0 0F (12 of these would be used for presets within a 'bank')
Call these 1 - 12

A B C D E F G H I J

1 1 13 25 37 49 61 73 85 97 109
2 2 14 26 38 50 62 74 86 98 110
3 3 15 27 39 51 63 75 87 99 111
4 4 16 28 40 52 64 76 88 100 112
5 5 17 29 41 53 65 77 89 101 113
6 6 18 30 42 54 66 78 90 102 114
7 7 19 31 43 55 67 79 91 103 115
8 8 20 32 44 56 68 80 92 104 116
9 9 21 33 45 57 69 81 93 105 117
10 10 22 34 46 58 70 82 94 106 118
11 11 23 35 47 59 71 83 95 107 119
12 12 24 36 48 60 72 84 96 108 120

I.e, if I have already pressed '2' I would have preset 2/120 - Bank 1/preset 2
if I now press 'B' I would get 14/120 - Bank 2/preset 2
if I now press '8' I would get 20/120 - Bank 2/preset 8
if I now press 'G' I would get 80/120 - Bank 7/preset 8
if I now press '11' I would get 83/120 etc - Bank 7/preset 11

Phew :)

The only way you could get MIDI-OX to deal with something like this would be to use the scripting capabilities along with VB, VBScript, JavaScript or some other supported language.

Ok Jamie thanks.
