MIDI Support
OK, I got back from holidays two days ago, and since then all that has been done is MIDI support. It is coming along nicely and I would give a screenshot but there's not much to see just use :P
The various controls have been split into 4 sets which can be moved in channels and then notes, but you can overlay them onto the same channels. The control sets are : cue channels, general controls (including hotkeys), beatpad and the arrowkey control. By selecting a MIDI device plugged into your PC and enabling MIDI, you can do pretty much everything on MIDI rather than with the PC keyboard; a very good advantage.
For a start MIDI allows for more than three keys/notes to be pressed; in fact it can have 'unlimited'. This is obviously important musically ! Secondly, the MIDI equipment is sturdier and seperate from a computer, and most musical hardware can support MIDI messages from controls. Maybe later djchainz_soundbox will also support the OSC / Open Sound Control format; make requests.
Some devices that generate MIDI signals and are therefore compatible with the next version of djchainz_soundbox are listed here:
Til next time, happy sampling.
