===== Introduction =====
Controls and automate a Nord Drum2 (Drum-Synth )[[http://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-drum-2|NORD DRUM 2]]\\

**__It acts as:__**\\
- **Midi Merger** NTE,CLK,PC merge with CC...
- **Patch Manager** it replaces the Synths internal Patch Storage,  each PC Number from your Sequencer is added by the BANK CC (CC 32), where each Nr is ADD 128 PC Numbers more...\\
- **Motion Sequencer** Record your Controller Movements in a Sequence in 32th Resultion @ maximal 256 Steps length\\ 

==== Features ====
- **Remote your Synths** by: 8x Midichannels with up to 32x Control Change (CC)\\ 
- **Save the Patches** and dump it to Synth\\
- **Load hundrets of Patches** via received Program Change + the Bank-CC (CC32)\\
- **Save Patches** vie CC24 + CC value 0-127... when sending before a BankCC32 you can expand that to 128x128 patches\\
- **Record CC-Motion-Sequences** 
- **PLAY Motions-Sequences** up to 256 steps @ 32th rate
- **VELOCITY MORPH** Add Velocity-Ammount to CCs\\
- **MERGE** incoming Midi-Notes/Clock/Pitchbend with Automated CCs\\
- **Set Sequencer Beatstructure** - how to interprete Clock-ticks (4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4...) - CC23\\
- **Global Page**: for example you use 8 simular Drum-Voices, with the Global you have 8 channel strips with dedicated Controlls, for example:\\
8xVolume, 8xTone/Noise-Mix, 8xDistortion, 8xClick\\ 
if you have one Synth over 2xMSQ_CC_LRE Tracks(booth set to MidiChannel 0, to get 64CCs instead of 32), then the Global Page: have the abillity to show/edit a parameter from Track1Voice on Track1Global, and from Track2Voice on Track2Global... it depends how you set the Midichannel in the Systemsettings (which are hardcodet but via Mapping Array changeable)\\
- for one multipart-synth, MSQ_CC_LRE do all the Preset Store, and Automations, so it is one Unit > to use the Unit in a other way would make all the Patches (128x128 patches) useless, so once done, its bound to it, load all with Programchange!  minimal is better here, there will be other **MSQs** outthere see [[MSQ-CC-BCR]]\\

====== Hardware Requirements ======
**External Requirement:**(for example)
  * Melody/Clock Source with ProgramChange-Output: [[mididocs:midibox_seq_v4l]] oops that dont do PC...\\
  * Melody/Clock Destination: NordDrum 2\\

**Midibox:**\\ 
  * [[home:mbhp:module:core32]]\\
  * [[http://ucapps.de/mbhp_midi_io.html|1xMidi IO]] connect 1 midicontroller and 1 Note/Clock-Source/Destination\\
  * SD-Card, formated with FAT32\\
  * Soldering Iron, Wires, PCB....\\
  * USB Power Supply\\
  * 2x LRE 8x2 [[mb-lre8x2cs_pcb]]
  * 3 extra Encoders and Ledrings (to controll the unit) + Pushfunction inclusive Button LED
  * 8 Momentary Buttons without LED
  * 1 Momentary Button with LED
  * 1x DINX4
  * 1x DOUTX4

==== Setting ====

== Cabeling ==
MidiIO PortB Out >>> Synth Midi IN\\
MidiIO PortB In  >>> Clock+Notes\\

==== Frontpanels ====
===  Stickers ===
=== LCD ===
it would be possible to add 16 OLEDs but... but i dont have the money for that right now....

====== Software ======

===== Firmware =====
V1. from 9.05.2018{{:phatline:MSQ_CC_LRE_V0.NordDrum2.zip|}} \\
hardcodet for a NordDrum2 - but change-able in Mapping via a Array in Sourceode: \\
this is the maping which says wich of the 32 internal CCs are one of the outhernal CCs (0-127):\\
{{:phatline:MSQ_LRE_cc-maping-deep-edit.png?700|}}\\
This Mapping says which one of the 32 internal CCs are positioniered in the Mixer/Overview/Channelstrip-Mode\\
{{:phatline:.MSQ_LRE_cc-maping-overview-map.png?700|}}\\

there are 8 deep edit pages, and 8 overview pages.\\
===== CC Routing to Synths =====
MSQ_CC_LRE internal i have 8x32 CCs, they are always identical. \\
but with a simple input output matrix i can decide which CC it gets in real world.\\
each of the 8 Part can have midichannle 0-15...\\
So we talking about Mapping... in the moment it is made in the source code with a simple array.\\

===== To Do =====
alot, but since it is base on MSQ-CC-BCR! most is done, and its running solid\\

maybe scale min max values for CC: for example different synths have only 0-3value instead of 0-127, by different functions like WAVEFORM...) - this will be interesting when using other synths then nord drum...\\

Just let a Private message on the forum to user already involved, the sourcecode is includet in the firmware .zip!!!
