Programming MIDI Boutique's HWCE2X

[JayR]

I am nearing the completion of my console conversion project, and I have a question...

In order to send all my stops and couplers on the same MIDI channel, I need to reassign the first 16 inputs (Notes 36 - 51) on Channel 6 to MIDI channel 5 using Notes 100 to 115 or Notes 19 - 34. The HWCE2X can be programmed using MIDI strings, but I have no idea where to start. The documentation shows how to program the strings, but does not explain how the strings are formed. Can someone assist me with this?

Thank You,
Jay

Okay...

I have located the MIDI string structures that I need. For every note I need to change from Channel 6 to Channel 5, it appears as though I need to create two events - one NoteOn event and one NoteOff event. The structure is as follows...

NoteOn/Off, Delta-Time, Channel #, Note #, Velocity.

I know that the values are in Hex, and that is not an issue. What I would like to know is what values should I use for Delta-Time and Velocity? I am assuming I will use 00 for both values.

Thanks Again,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Download the Windows graphical HWCE programming tool from the Midi Gadgets Boutique site (http://largonet.net/midiboutique/dow.../hwce2xprg.zip), read the supplied PDF on how to set the MIDI messages on the contacts, and the tool will take care of most things.

For the Hex/Decimal/Binary conversions use the MIDI table from http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php

If you still need help with this, just let us know.

Kind regards,
