Ok, I disassembled the sequencer and measured it through… got it running, just plug it into the far left MIDI port (MIDI4 out/BLM), both input and output run through there. With the standard firmware of the SEQV4+, the BLM port is already set to MIDI/DIN4, so it should work out of the box.
i am a bit curios what the 4 Faders should do…
in my 32bit code, i use a AINSER module:
//AIN - - Potentiometer has mooved - - Analog InPut
static void APP_AINSER_NotifyChange(u8 pin, u8 value) {
// MIOS32_MIDI_SendDebugMessage("pin: %d value: %d", pin, value);
// PINOUT
// PIN 2
// PIN 3
// PIN 1
// PIN 0
MIOS32_MIDI_SendCC(SwitchedPort, pin & 0x0F, 1, value);
}
// switchedPort is the same port as the sysex is transfaired - so it goes into Midi 4OUT/BLM off the SEQV4+
i guess i got it right that i needs CC Nr1 (MOD), with the channel Nr which matches the AIN Pin Nr (0-3), and the value 0-127
What i dont get is, what this Faders actually should do - so i can test, if it actually works.
Do they do always the same thing, or are they beeing switched inside the SeqV4+ to do different things, depending on some kind off mode or page?
next what i am curios about is there any detailed info about the modes that can (do they) be set with the single extra button (aka shift button)? eg. some picture, that shows which button in combi with shift does what? (so i can label it on my BLM with a P-Touch-Printer-Label….
AND if the old BLM is somewhere equal to the MATRIX (midphy) ? so i can use this docu instead (if aviable).
as this: https://www.midiphy.com/files/6f5/midiphy%20MatriX%20User%20Manual%20v101.pdf
but for SEQV4+?
there is a beginner guide here:
https://www.midiphy.com/files/b45/seq_v4_beginners_guide.pdf
but the word “matrix” or “blm” dont exists in there…
but some midichart is there:
CC#1 (0×01 - Modulation Wheel)
Controls the Morphing Function
— so in my case with 4 Faders i can morph the Seq-Channel 1-4?
— did you do the same thing on MATRIX or do you switch MATRIX internally, depending on the Mode what cc nr and channel they send out?
i am not a seqv4 user so far, so sorry for all that questions.
what i found here is http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq_manual_blm.html
**Grid mode:** displays a 16 step view of the selected track. The usage depends on the parameter layer assignment:
Note Layer: each 16x16 row will play a different note. The 16 notes per column are pre-selected based on the current scale (MENU+FX->Scale) to increase the octave range, and to simplify the entry of harmonic notes.
Important: one note per step can be selected if the track only contains a single note layer (default). By adding more note layers in the MENU+Event page it's possible to select multiple notes per step for polyphonic sequences.
Any other parameter layer such as velocity/length/CC/PitchBender/Roll/Probability/etc.: each 16x16 column works like a VU meter.
Drum Tracks: each 16x16 row is assigned to a different note (drum instrument) as configured in the MENU+Event page.
Hint: instead of drums you could also play a synth. Since each note can be predefined, you are able to create your own "scale" this way.
Extra Column: selects the track that should be edited. Push the button twice to mute/unmute a track.
Extra Row: selects the step view. Increase the track length to play more step views. Use loop mode or the section function to play only a single step view.
ALT+Extra Row: selects the octave
Planned future enhancements: pressing SHIFT+16x16 button should set accent, pressing SHIFT+extra row button should select the section that should be played
**Track mode:** displays a 16 step view of all tracks.
16x16 buttons: set/clear a trigger.
Extra Column: selects a track. Push the button twice to mute/unmute a track.
Extra Row: selects the step view. Increase the track length to play more step views. Use loop mode or the section function to play only a single step view.
ALT+Extra Row: selects the trigger layer
Planned future enhancements: pressing SHIFT+16x16 button should set accent, pressing SHIFT+extra row button should select the section that should be played
**Pattern mode:** displays the patterns of all 4 groups.
16x16 buttons: each quarter directly selects the pattern of a group (up to 64 patterns per group)
ALT+16x16 buttons: each quarter stores the pattern into the selected slot
16x16 LEDs: green: pattern is selected for next measure, red: pattern is played, yellow: pattern is selected and played
Extra Column: selects a track. Push the button twice to mute/unmute a track.
Extra Row: no function yet.
Planned future enhancements: pressing SHIFT+16x16 button should select the pattern synchronized to measure independent from the global "synch-to-measure" function.
The extra row could select a song phrase (so that all 4 groups change to predefined patterns)
**Keyboard mode:** allows to play notes of the selected track "live".
16x16 buttons: each 16x16 column will play a different note. Than higher the row, than higher the velocity of the played note. The 16 notes per column are pre-selected based on the current scale (MENU+FX->Scale) to increase the octave range, and to simplify the entry of harmonic notes.
Extra Column: selects a track. Push the button twice to mute/unmute a track.
Extra Row: sends a note to the transposer (starting from C-2, unscaled)
ALT+Extra Row: selects the octave
Planned future enhancements: pressing SHIFT+16x16 button should play&hold a note until the same column is selected again.
Support for playing notes on drum tracks.
**303 mode:**
first row selects accent
second row selects glide
third and fourth row select octave (4 different selections)
remaining rows select key of octave and set/clear gate
**Stop:** stops the sequencer
**Start:** starts/restarts the sequencer
thx 4 info.
