Do anyone now how to build a touch screen controller/preset viewer for nano cortex?using arduino

does anyone have tried it?i saw on youtube people build one for the tonexone, also this kind of similar to midi pirate scibble view.im not an expert.but want to learn on how to do it.it seem possible

I think the same people who made the one for Tonex made one for the NC.

can u share the link of his work?is possible the tutorial on how he do it

Simple : use this: Unofficial Nano Cortex - Web Preset Switcher and use a touch screen. or even better - use your ipad :laughing:

yes i have seen this before but prefer to use external midi switch and a screen preset display would be nice

I made a request on the ToneX Project. Maybe, if we are more, we could convince him, to support the Nano.

The Project is pure gold for the Tonex One

I’m building a 6-switch DIY MIDI controller, similar to the M-Vave Chocolate, featuring independent displays to show preset names and descriptions. Originally, I thought the [Neural DSP] Nano Cortex could send SysEx messages regarding preset names or slot states, but it can’t. You can only trigger MIDI Out messages if you add them manually per preset—meaning, only when you switch to a specific preset or press a footswitch on the unit.

Because of this, I created a simple app that hosts a web server. This allows me to configure the names shown on the displays and define the behavior of the footswitches (such as toggling slots or changing presets).

did u figure out how to do it manually to display preset names?

i think morningstar midi did display a preset name but not sure if it is the same as the save name preset in NC,but the price is quite expensive

did this u referring to the midi assign function,airstep latest update can do all that except it doesnt have a screen display for the preset name

@freakomikodoko, No, the NC doesn’t transmit preset names over MIDI. What I did, which is likely how Airstep or Morningstar handle it, is build a web interface to customize those names, descriptions, and even the display background colors.

Attached is a screenshot of the footswitch setup (the web page). The Description appears large on the display, with Details underneath as a sub-header. The background matches the color you select. I don’t have photos of it in action at the moment, but let me know if you need some and I’ll post them.

this is awesome, is this web interface can be integrated with midi controller/screen as we switch preset and appear on the screen?if i had enough money i would just buy the morningstar but prefer to keep the budget minimal and figure out i want to learn to build the cheap version one.if can put some video(or share link)would be nice to see

I’m not sure I understand you correctly. Here’s how it works: When you press the footswitch, the configured MIDI command (as you can see, it can have different behaviors) is sent to the NC, and it changes according to what you’ve sent (on/off slots, preset change). The display corresponding to the pressed footswitch then shows the configured title and subtitle.
Is this what you mean?

yes,ur web switcher does it really works that way?is it possible to connect the webswitcher with midi controller (mvave chocolate)i know the NC preset name didnt work with the midi.

Yes, that’s how it works. But why would you want to connect the M-Vave Chocolate to this device? This device is the same as the M-Vave or the Morningstar… It’s simply a challenge I’m undertaking myself, but it’s not the same as the web switcher posted above, because the one that actually sends the MIDI messages is a Raspberry Pi that has the MIDI transmission and switch management code.

The web switcher above sends MIDI commands directly through the browser’s USB MIDI.

What I want is to be able to use it with my feet. The web switcher might be configurable with a footswitch where you can tell it which web element to click, but from what I understand, it’s meant to be clicked by hand.

For now, it’s just a prototype.

okay, bcoz before i have seen a valeton gp-5 web switcher also but he did manage to pair it with midi controller, i just need a screen display with preset name when i change the preset,that all, if possible like the scribble by midi pirate.just that one to small

Hi. Yes, I’ve been looking at the Scribble documentation and it works similarly, except it also acts as a MIDI Tru controller, allowing you to connect a MIDI controller like the M-Vave Chocolate and receive its messages and send them to the NC. But the preset names, preset numbers, etc., reside internally in the device, just like in the one I’m developing. Honestly, I don’t think that pressing one of the NC’s two footswitches will display the preset name without having configured it in the Scribble first, and also without having configured the NC’s MIDI out beforehand so the device knows that a preset has been changed or something else.

But I’ll keep the MIDI Tru controller in mind; it’s an idea I hadn’t thought of, LOL.

im looking forward for ur project update :blush:
