I guess I don’t really know what an ‘output’ is. Is it some kind of virtual channel, so the two commands would need the same output number to associate them somehow?

There are two separate devices on the ER-301 that output the received i2c messages, one for gates and one for cv. Each instance of these devices can be set to output the messages received on one of 100 channels or outputs or however you want to call them. Since the devices are separate and there are 100 outputs for each, there’s technically no need to send both gates and cv values on the same channel/output - they’re not connected in any way.

However, it would probably be less confusing for your users if the two were transmitted on the same output, just so they can select the same output on both devices.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I’m prototyping some code to convert MIDI to I2C on the disting EX. If anyone’s interested you can track it (and probably get beta firmware) here:

Nice! Do you plan to enable Disting as a leader in an i2c network?

[expertsleepers]

Yes.

Apparently I can’t just answer ‘yes’ so I’m padding out my reply to exceed the required length, which seems like a waste of everybody’s time.

Here’s a crosspost of an emulation of the nearness module. It’s very simple .pkg but could gets more interesting when modulating the panning.

i was about to buy a nearness for this - its perfect for JF - before i did i was wondering if nearness could be emulated on the er301 and indeed you can. link Ch 1 and Ch 2 to create a stereo chain, insert 6 mono mixers - lower input to -6 dB on each mixer, insert each jf output into the 6 mixers via A1 - D1, A2 and B2 inputs, adjust the pan of each mono mixer to taste. you can then modulate the panning with a pingable random triggered by each voice and add mutes per output. i know not many…

The panel is just for fun, thought it would look cool.

It does look sick as hell, makes it look like one complete module

Thomas has done real magic with this update, and knowing his devotion to the platform there is a lot more to explore. What a great way of adding so much value (and now a flexible hands-on experience) to an already great sequencer.
