PoppaDom Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ok, I have searched and cannot find what I think I remember seeing here so I was wondering if anyone else could.... It was a discussion regarding x-keys and similar modules and someone linked an analogue-midi-analogue module that could be used to generate midi information. (With the intention of a homemade GO/STOP/SKIP button set) Anyone seem to remember it and can point me in the right direction? Poppadom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternewman Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 There are various ones around, I think I've posted about some, but for a ready made one something like this looks good, or for a DIY option, have a look at MIDIBox. No personal experience with either, I'm still planning to try and make my own with a PIC at some point when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(With the intention of a homemade GO/STOP/SKIP button set)I'm not quite sure what you mean by "analogue-midi-analogue module", but what I've used to make Go/Stop/Skip switch boxes work with SFX and QLab is the Midi Solutions F8. There is another box to give you 8 closures out from midi in. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henny Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 what are you trying to drive? pc or other hardwhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Have a look at the MidiTron. I have one of these and its just great for converting contact closures into something MIDI. Not incredibly cheap, especially for what is in reality little more than a PIC on a PCB, but the software side is well sorted and very flexible.

No personal experience with either, I'm still planning to try and make my own with a PIC at some point when I get a chance.I had to look at the midibox as a part of my college final project. to be fair, I didn't have the patience to learn how this "operating system" worked, so I found it easier writing my own software for it from the bottom up. if you're only sending stuff then it can be incredibly simple. can I just add that you need to make sure you pick the right PIC (pun intended) for the job, ie one with a serial port on it. the 18F452 is what midibox used, so I followed suit.
