This is an old revision of the document!
A place to put articles, howtos and guides about the MIDIbox universe. These articles are meant to complement the official user manuals on uCapps.de, going into a bit more depth on core concepts, features, workflows and usecases to help users learn more about how to do fun stuff with their MIDIboxes.
Feel free to add or link your own articles, and help document these amazing devices. Also, feel free to edit existing articles to add to or improve them. It'd be really great if you added something here - the better these devices are documented, the more usable they'll be, and it'll be easier for all of us to learn new things about how they can be used. It's also a great way to give something back to the MIDIbox project if you're not great with code or hardware design. If you don't have a Wiki account, ask in the Documentation Project forum, and hopefully an admin will set you up with an account.
Each MIDIdocs article is linked to its own “Discussion Thread” in the MIDIbox Forums where you can ask questions, make comments or corrections, and discuss the topics in each article.
uCapps.de Overview
Official User Manual
MIDIbox SEQ Forum
READ THE MANUAL. Then read it again. The SEQ is a complex device, with a huge number of features. You'll probably have to go over the manual a few times before you start to really understand it. Read through the other documentation on http://www.uCapps.de as well - there's a lot of information there that will help you understand how all the devices, software, and modules in the MIDIbox universe work, and how they fit together. These articles will be more helpful to you if you've already read over the documentation on uCapps.de.
In particular, the Frontpanel section of the User Manual briefly describes what each button does, and the Menu Pages section describes how to use each menu page on your SEQ. The Sessions section gives an overview of how Sessions work on the SEQ. TK has also put together some great Tutorials with audio examples.
uCapps.de Overview
MIDIbox BLM Forum
There are many BLM options available. You can build a hardware BLM - some users have designed PCBs, others have used veroboard. Ilmenator has created a 16x4 hardware BLM. A Lemur application is available that provides a virtual BLM on an iPad. BLM emulation software is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac computers. The Lemur app and the emulator software can be downloaded on this page.
uCapps.de Overview/User Guide
MIDIbox SEQ Forum
In addition to reading the V4L User Guide, it may also be helpful to read over some of the MIDIbox SEQ V4 documentation, since the V4L inherits most of its features from the SEQ V4.
Interesting non-official MIDIbox Projects created by members of the community. There are a ton of these out there, here are a few of the better documented examples:
Here are some other pages on this Wiki that might be informative or helpful to you. Many of them are fairly old and refer to previous versions of the MIDIbox core modules, etc. However, the current MIDIbox project evolved from these older implementations, so these earlier documents still contain information relevant to the current implementations.
