feature: usb midi mapping

[shellfritsch]

i know that the true beauty of the 301 is merging DSP with the wonderful world of CV - but i think being able to map usb midi to the environment would be amazing. there are plenty of instances where i want to have control over a wet/dry value or levels but don't want to use up valuable (and expensive) rack space as well as the 301 inputs with basic static controls. in terms of UI - i would imagine you could map midi input via the same input selector, but in addition to the INx, Ax, Gx, etc. there would be a MIDI tab, and within that perhaps a "learn" button. when learn is activated the last active CC or note would show up as a selectable option.

then there's the issue of accessing the physical usb port on the 301.. but leaving a 1hp gap for a usb cable is no problem for me. 

thoughts?

+1 for this

That would be so cool and so inexpensive for the users.

whouha, an usb midi mapping would be a great add with iconnect midi + ipad with lemur...

If this was possible then to have the option of playing samples with midi notes would be great too! And would make polyphonic patches potentially easier

i want to plug this in:

bumping this again because i'm curious to know if it is technically possible... if so - brian, do you have any interest in this feature?

The main problem is that I've only implemented the hardware for device USB on the ER-301 but as far as I know you need host or OTG USB to connect a USB controller.  There are however, exposed UART pins that can be used for a MIDI interface expansion.  Unfortunately, work on this front by me seems unlikely at the moment although I would gladly provide the necessary information to anyone who wanted to DIY a solution.  I would just ask that such a project wait until the plugin framework has been released.
