Any examples on creating (midi LED indicators)

Want do you want it to do? What part do you want help with?

You will need to use the MIDI splitter to turn incoming MIDI data into S|M (green) event data.

Then you need to have you're 'off' and 'on' images ready.

You can use the logic from the bitmap toggle switch to handle the bitmap image changes. (You have to isolate the part of the schematic that does this for the switch and copy it into your schematic).

If you can post some additional details as to what you're trying to accomplish I can knock up an example file in a few minutes this later today.

Ok... this took only a few minutes as the two modules used are borrowed.

midiflasher.osm The flipper is not a stock module but is common enough (IMHO it should be stock). The 'Toggle' is taken unaltered from the bitmap toggle switch (and retains some unused stuff inside).

The rest is just an example. In this case it flashes the on state bitmap for 75 ms before restoring the off state bitmap on receiving a note-on message.

Pretty much any midi incoming can be filtered and displayed in a manner something like this.

See the Midi Split refernece in the component reference section of the WIKI for details on how to use this.

Let me know if you have trouble getting what you want from this. 🙂

EDIT - to change the bitmap use the bitmap loader modules inside the toggle. I've loaded it with two simple images done with this PhotoSoup file: LEDbulb.psd

I can learn alot from this example. for a minute there I thaught I'd get blasted for asking that question. anyway I'll let you know how it turns out.

That seems to be a common concern with new users on this forum... (KVR members? 😉 )

I asked my share of 'dumb' (read 'basic') questions only to be pointed out where the answers were already posted -- but I never got the feeling I was being talked down to or dismissed. I've got to say that one of the things that attacted me to this software was the help I got from the people on this forum (that and the fact that it rocks!).

General advise to anyone posting any sort of request for assistance is to make it clear what you're trying to accomplish. I find it's often tough to say what the actual question is or what the desired result would be. Also, the help forum is best for requests for assistance.

General advise to long-timers gettin tired of the same questions over and over -- ignore them or add a FAQ to the WIKI. It won't stop every question but it might help if there were more than three items there. 😇 (This goes for me too; dispite the amount of work I put in on the component reference part - I've posted little else.)
