In a galaxy far away in a time far back I tinkered with Midibox stuff. I once built a Midibox SEQ4. From that time some spare parts were left. One is the core of the midibox ecosystem, a STM32 F4 module with carrier board. Together with MidiboxNG I want to build a controller with 16 encoders and 16 small Oled scribblestrips. MidiboxNG is a kind of script language for creating controllers.
So I created a test setup to get a proof-of-concept.
the only code needed for this is:
RESET_HW
DIO port=J10A emu_din_sr=1
ENC n= 1 sr=1 pins=0:1 type=detented1
EVENT_ENC id=1 fwd_to_lcd=1 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 16 lcd_pos=1:1:1 label=“%C&bENC #%2i @(1:1:5)%d”
This code sends CC16 on channel 1 to midi out (first of 4 virtual USB midi devices) and udpdates the text on screen.
Zynthian recognized the 4 midi devices and I can learn a zynthiancontrol to the controller, no problem, so sending midi works.
The MidiboxNG app is designed to receive midi too. When I send midi CC16 on channel 1 to the controller the oled updates the value and after that, the encoder resumes with the new value. I have tested this and it works.
My question, is it possible te send the zynthian-encoder value back to the controller when I turn the encoder on the Zynthian itself.
