Introduction & First Issue with MIDI bindings

ChrisJ

Hi all
I last used Mobius some years ago, but gave up on it because of the Windows 32/64 bit compatability issue and the need to bridge it got too difficult.

I'm delighted to see it back, compataible and much modernised. Thank you so much fir this Jeff.
I initially loaded build 45 and got it working nicely as a VST in Reaper. I use Scuffham S-Gear as a guitar software amp and with that as a VST in a second track with a send to the Mobius track, all was well.
At this point i was using the keyboard for the usual commands.

Now I wished to incorporate MIDI commands from my SoftStep 2 pedal board, via a loopMIDI virtual MIDI port.
I set the MIDI device and then went to the MIDI bindings menu but it was somewhat different from how it used to be, and also empty of content.

Eventually I went back to build 28... The MIDI bindings showed up and I was able to assign them & use the MIDI footswitch.
Back to build 45 and the bindings are gone again.
Am I doing something wrong?

In the Trace log I see an error "ERROR: Supervisor: UserFileFolder not set" Is this relevant?

I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it.
I look forward to an exciting journey.

Having looked at other forum posts, for additional diagnostics:

My O/S is Windows 10

System.xml:

SystemConfig>
<ValueSet/>
<SymbolOptions/>
<BindingSets>
<BindingSet name="Base"/>
</BindingSets>
<GroupDefinitions>
<GroupDefinition name="A"/>
<GroupDefinition name="B"/>
</GroupDefinitions>
<SampleConfig>
<Sample file="$INSTALL/test/samples/gcloop.wav" button="true"/>
</SampleConfig>
</SystemConfig>

After a little detective work comparing the xml files from build 28 and 45, it became apparent the the active bindings have moved from mobius.xml to the file system.xml.

I was able to copy the line from mobius.xml in build 28, as below:

<Binding name='Record' trigger='control' value='1' channel='1'/>
<Binding name='Overdub' trigger='control' value='2' channel='1'/>
<Binding name='Play' trigger='control' value='3' channel='1'/>
<Binding name='Pause' trigger='control' value='4' channel='1'/>
<Binding name='Reset' trigger='control' value='5' channel='1'/>
<Binding name='PrevTrack' trigger='control' value='6' channel='1'/>
<Binding name='NextTrack' trigger='control' value='7' channel='1'/>

to system.xml in build 45, also changing Binding name to Binding symbol, as below:

 <Binding symbol="Record" trigger="control" value="1" channel="1"/>
  <Binding symbol="Overdub" trigger="control" value="2" channel="1"/>
  <Binding symbol="Play" trigger="control" value="3" channel="1"/>
  <Binding symbol="Pause" trigger="control" value="4" channel="1"/>
  <Binding symbol="Reset" trigger="control" value="5" channel="1"/>
  <Binding symbol="PrevTrack" trigger="control" value="6" channel="1"/>
  <Binding symbol="NextTrack" trigger="control" value="7" channel="1"/>

Now they are visible in the UI and produce the desired control, so that gets me where I need to be.
I can also right-click, choose edit and alter as required.

However, although right-clicking the fucntions etc in the tree view offers a context menu of Add, and Replace, I still can add any new rows.

regards
Chris

OK.... I have it now. DRAG the function into the Action window!!

Doh

Sorry for the delay. Yes, the bindings moved, but those should have been upgraded automatically as long as you installed 45 over the top of 25. If you installed them in different folders, then 45 would not see the old bindings. I'll run through some tests on this.
