DSP Robotics Support

Hi! I recently discovered all of this, and I'm really impressed with all of you guys! You are doing great things here, and I will buy the license soon so I can start testing, but I need to learn a lot, and first I want to try understanding how to make a GUI, and how to control with knobs, switches and faders any fx unit, or midi capable device.

I'm reading all here and in the old forum, but i'm sure that with a bit of help I will save lot of time.

Well, I need the following:
On both Standard MIDI and NRNP protocols, learn to triger and send midi CC, notes, etc, using knobs, switched, faders..

I will be learning around here to try to improve with presets manager, midi learn, automation, etc.

So, I'll wait for your comments, I will be posting around here my findings.

This example is great
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1016&p=2904&hilit=animated+knob#p2897

It works ok with my external device.

Now I need to know how to do the same with a button or switch.

Ok, thanks to trogluddite and Max I finally get the switch to work. I attach the example, I need to switch on/off with midi, and now this works!

Now I need to learn how to do the same with NRPN, I saw some samples from trogluditte about this, let's see!!

Any Ideas?

Hi there, skull, welcome to the forum.

You might find these old modules handy for RPN, NRPN stuff...

They're set up so you use them pretty much the same way as a normal controller - just give them the LSB, MSB, Data and then trigger them. If you peek inside you'll see how they're set up to send the combination of CC's in the right order to create a valid message (the little 'tick marks' on the 'Send' links show which order the links get fired in).

Thanks for reply! I'm trying to make a knob, button and switch, but I don't know how to send the parameters from the device manual, they are like this:

Equalizer (Address Page 11)
2 On/Off
4 Bass
5 Middle
6 Treble
7 Presence
Cabinet (Address Page 12)
2 On/Off
3 Volume

Ah, good old MIDI device tables, seems they always make them super cryptic!

NRPN's are always a bit tricky because they're specific to a particular device, and not all manufacturers use the MSB, LSB etc in the same way - I'd guess that 'page' is the MSB, and the LSB is the parameter number, but it could be the other way around, or even some weird hexadecimal encoding kind of thing.
Is the device manual that you're using available on-line anywhere that I could take a look? - I might be able to figure out how to tally up their numbers with the codes that FS needs.

Hi, thanks for your help! Attached please find the documentation, they don't give too much info about it.

Great.
Getting a bit late here now, but I'll take a peek tomorrow and see what I can make of it.

Thanks dude really apreciated! I just need a Knob, a switch and button so I can program all the device.
I'm thinking also about implementing the preset manager, midi learn, and automation, but one step at a time
