Control Surface

[Jim McDougall]

John Do you think MIDICPU could eventually handle these ?

I am putting together ideas for my own custom control surface.

Any thoughts on handling a jog wheel ?

I am about to gut a dead JL Cooper CS-1 for the first experiment.

Well, maybe someday... I've wanted to experiment with motorized pots.

These are less expensive than I would have guessed...but I'm not sure how many in the DIY crowd are looking to incorporate this sort of thing.

Jog wheels, who knows...

[Jim McDougall]

A jog wheel can be handled if you add 'Rotary Encoder - Sysex Messages' to the rotary encoder modes. The jog wheel is nothing more than a rotary encoder that sends sysex increment and sysex decrement messages. This would require 2 sysex storage registers per encoder input - one for the increment message and one for the decrement message.

[John]

Ah, yes, I see.

For the SysEx, I've thought about ways to sandwich a value from a data register (input from an encoder or pot) between two portions of data from the sysex buffer.

Hope that makes sense...
