I asked for help, which was on voluntary bases for sure, and at least i could do is to make summary of the problems and their solutions, related to MIDI.

Source code i provided is testing one, and it is exactly what i asked if somebody is having. Just simple working example. (Gimme code is stil checked informative, and it's written on universal offensive language, offence --> reaction). But it is not worth typing.

Thanks to one of Phillp's constructive posts, after some "lecturing" answers i decided not to give up this forum. Respect.


I am using midi protocol for remoting software (Native Instruments Reaktor, and Abelton Live). Until now i used some elecronics from www.ucapps.de (PIC based), but as i am 8052 adict, i think it was worth an effort to put hands on my own midi implementation.

If anybody is asking why i persist to make something that is already written in many variations, (not to metntion relatively chaep Berhinger midi controllers) the reasons are:

- it cound be useful if you can multiplex 8 buttons (for ex. beat slicer control) just in one midi note message, coding it like bit position in velocity byte. That means for 8 buttons (or digital in, more precise) corresponds one message not eight. This could save some latency time in midi transfer. Reakror in the PC side can act as decoder, assigning decoded velocity byte to 8 virtual screen buttons.

- fader and buttons are the most conservative type of external controls i use. I am using different types of sensors (pressure (FSR), light (LDR), piezo, infrared, and in near future i'll put some testing on 3D positioning) for making 0-5V control voltage. With Reaktor it is possible to increase midi 7 bit resolution to let's say 10 bits like OSC (Open Sound Control). How?. Using 10 bit A/D and coding it like 7 bits in velocity byte and 3 bits in note number byte. Reaktor can decode received bytes and remote in 10 bit resolution any desired sound parameter.

Again, my mail is dmitttri@hotmail.com, as this music environment is the field in which i could be helpful to anybody interested. Being an 'open source' fan, one can expect code, shematics, Reaktor ensambles or any kind of help i could provide.

I know you folks are not backing the 'jerk attitude deserve jerk-back attitude', but i use different type of communication for different kind of people, without any trips of 'being smart' or whatever. My bugs.

I feel that this kind of forums stands for:
- people being helped could easily try to help-back not partuicular to person that helped them, but to somebody that needs help at present moment.

Best, Dmitri
