Select Bus Data Transmission #26

Closed Genfin closed 1 month ago

Genfin commented 3 months ago

Hello !

Could the Midi Thing V2 transmit data through the Select Bus pin? This could be particularly useful for recalling presets stored via the Select Bus. If Midi Thing V2 had a Select Bus mode, it could convert incoming Program Change (PC) messages from any MIDI channel into Select Bus commands. For example:

PC1 -> Midi Thing -> Select Bus Preset 1 PC2 -> Midi Thing -> Select Bus Preset 2 ...and so on. Would this feature be possible to implement?

What Bus do you mean? The one in the power cable?

Yes i'm talking about the bus board. Sometime when the last two pin are not used, you can send midi data through those pin . It's called select bus protocol. (Maleko, Shakmat, Expert sleeper use it)

But i have to correct my precendent post , it has to be on midi channel 1 (select bus only respond to this channel)

Unfortunately those pins are unconnected in the hardware!

So this feature is not feasible without modifying your hardware. Closing the issue as out of scope.
