Some more midi questions...
MIDI supports 14 bit controllers, as most of you already know, by assigning
2 controllernr. One as LSB, and one as MSB.
The easiest way to implement this in the midi CV, seems to me to just have
the user select a controller to listen to as MSB, and another one as LSB.
This way, more controllers can be used together as 14 bit controllers. If
you want to use just a 7 bit controller, you can have the LSB listening to a
controller number above 127, not used in midi.
(In my design, pitchbend will probably get controller nr 128 or something.
Another number will be to have the LSB not listening... This easens the
implementation, but it needs a smart user. But that's me, right?)
Another question: If I have a controller listening to aftertouch (channel
pressure), should it listen to the velocity too? This means, go to a center
value or something when a new note is played?
And the same for key pressure (polyphonic aftertouch)? Any keyboards known
that send this?
(Don't even know if mine(Roland A90) does...)
BTW if I put polyphonic aftertouch in, it will act the same as channel
aftertouch. The last received value will be used.
I'm also trying to get the software page up to date. Soon, some kind of
memory layout will be there. The diagram file will be updated every once in
a while too...

And since everybody is talking about the list...
Some people on this list ( Harry, Theo, Paul and more) have helped me (with
my endwork project) more than my teacher at school. Alot more. Hey, at least
you guys know what MIDI is. I can't thank you guys enough. I'd never had the
guts or even the idea to build this without the list.
I owe alot to you guys. And this list...
Don't let all those political issues ruin this...
Thanks...
