====== MSQ-CC-LRE V2 ======
MotionSeQuencer for ControlChanges\\
for 2xLRE8x2 Boards\\
for 1x LRE5-LCD2 Boards\\
Synth-Patch-Editor & Motion-Sequencer 4 ControlChange (= CC-Automation)\\
===== 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:**\\ 
  * 1x [[home:mbhp:module:core32]]\\
  * 1x [[LRE5-LCD2]]{{:phatline:LRE5-LCD2-Proto-CV1.jpg?500|}}\\
  * 2x [[mb-lre8x2cs_pcb]]{{:mididoc:neonking:midibox_cv2_lre8x2.jpg?direct&500|}}\\
  * 8x [[lre-oled-bar2]]{{:phatline:LRE-OLED-BAR-3D-Perspektive.jpg?500|}}\\
  * 17x SSD1306 OLED Screens (smalles variant, 7 Pin)\\
  * 1x [[displaydriver-smd]]\\
  * 1x DINX4
  * 1x [[Euro-Midi-IO]]{{:phatline:Euro_Midi_IO_3D_RENDER-Panel.jpg?500|}}\\
  * SD-Card, formated with FAT32\\
  * Soldering Iron, Wires, PCB....\\

==== Setting ====

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

== Cabeling Modules==

FIXME This Display wiring is not recommendet anymore - i use now the [[displaydriver-smd]] where you can now connect each Display seperately to the Display Driver - each display is then buffered, and we dont have walking lines ore black screens while operation!\\

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

===== Firmware =====
V2. from x.02.2022{{:phatline:MSQ_CC_LRE_V2.NordDrum2.zip|}} - published when finished \\

Initialized for a NordDrum2 - but change-able in Mapping via a Array in Sourceode   or  via System-Menue: \\
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 =====
Since we have 18 Screens, write the code for it - special the labeling > Sys\\
Make a System Menue to set CC NRs on the fly...\\

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...\\
