Cheers, Befaco, Just a comment that I love your modules. I have an ARRADIO and listen to it every day and love the build quality on all your products. Regards on this next endeavor.

ARRADIO isnā€™t technically a Befaco module. The panel was obviously ā€œinspiredā€ by a previous generation of Befaco modules, though, and I think the designer had some help from Befaco, too.

Hey @toneburst - youā€™re absolutely right to point that out. I just think of Befaco whenever I turn on an ARRADIO, as the logo is Befaco based and thereā€™s a lot of ā€œthanks to Befaco for their supportā€ on the website. I think I was just casually conflating when I wrote that post.

I should have mentioned an appreciation for the Muxlicer. Let me correct that here. Viva Muxlicer!

Firmware v1.2 is out and stable!
Fing source code and compiled binaries in our github!

  • New Polyphonic mode added.
  • Changed save structure. Now there are four save spaces available.
  • 14 bit CC implemented.
  • Web configurer available here.
  • i2C communication implemented (still in process)

Any way of connecting to a MIDI capable device like the ES-9 with or without i2c?

Depends on ES-9 implementation :slight_smile:

So ES-9 has MIDI port in order to act as a MIDI interface. Then yes, you can send MIDI from VCMC to ES-9 using that port and then ES-9 will send it to the external world.
This will save you one USB port in your computer :slight_smile:

Thank you for the additional save slots!
Excited to see where i2c implementation goes :slight_smile:

Ohhhh @Befaco ! Does this mean that all the incoming gates and CVā€™s could be translated to I2C language, to be listen by Teletype, ER301 or Just Friends? And also the fader values? And if so, ā€¦ WHEEEEEEN! :grinning:

Esto de los mĆ³dulos que van mejorando sĆ³lo con actualizaciones de firmware es una pasada! Bien hecho chavales!

@Cromatica45 Yep! The first implementation will be VCMC/CV Thing as Leaders to send information to followers.
Right now there is an untested code that will be communicating with Just friends. Next step will be to implement other devices and then the follower mode to translate i2c to MIDI.
When? eeem soon? :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok!! Iā€™ll stay tuned! Thanks a lot!

YESH!

Iā€™m so excited about this one. Been wanting this for soooo long. Got a Teletype ready and waiting. By the way, Teletype has a USB input on the front which now has (beta) firmware for MIDI In ops, so as @thopa pointed out on another thread, there is a possibility that you could plug a USB cable from the VCMC to the Teletype and control it that way.

Havenā€™t tested that yet.

Iā€™ve already done that and works fine. The only thing is that while having the TELETYPE connected to the VCMC you can no longer use the keyboard for live programming, and if you switch to the keyboard (I have the TWO>ONE module to do this) you lose all the MIDI OPS and CC control for the faders over I2C. So dedicated I2C messages from the VCMC is going to be great and solve all those issues ā€¦

#25

FYI there is anew thread to follow the current implementation of I2C on VCMC.Befaco VCMC / i2c Development

Currently is on Test branch (no offical support yet) and only on I2C leader mode.
Not all devices have support now, but will update ASAP.

@Sergio_Reta thank you soooo sooo much for your work on the VCMC. All the code changes have been great so far, and I canā€™t wait to see a follower implementation for the i2c as well. But more on that on the other thread!

Does anybody have experience with this module? I keep thinking how cool it would be to match my Noise Engineering sequencing modules with something like my Octatrack or VCV rack.

I havenā€™t been able to find a lot of actual experience with the module online. How is the latency? Have folks had good experiences? Folks found this to be better than alternatives?

Itā€™s pretty good. Any specific questions I can answer? I have a few, if not all, CV to Midi modules to compare.

Thatā€™s amazing! Well, there are actually a Humber of questions I have, tbh;

  1. what is delay like between different programs? Like, does it work better with VCV Rack or VSTā€™s?

  2. what do you mainly use if for? Note Sequencing, triggers, CV modulation? What is your preferred target?

  3. how does resolution come in to play when effecting something like, say, a VCV Rack oscillator (such as Cs-L)? Have you used it with something like Phase Plant or other VSTā€™s?

  4. out of all CV to MIDI modules, which is your favorite?

  5. any thoughts or ideas about usage and general experience that I havenā€™t asked here?
