Snd_seq_ev_set_controller(&ev, CHANNEL, EXPRESSION_COARSE, val) Snd_seq_ev_set_noteoff(&ev, CHANNEL, BUTTON_8, 64) Īs for the expresion pedal, it converts and scales the value read as input to a MIDI range between 0 and 127, and then it does the following call : Snd_seq_ev_set_noteon(&ev, CHANNEL, BUTTON_8, 127)

Looking at the source code on the link, it seems to do its job by translating the pressing of foot switches to MIDI “note on” ( with value 127 ) and their releasing to MIDI “note off” ( value 64 ) messages dispatched to some virtual sequencer port opened in ALSA, through these calls : Instead I suspect the source code Brummer pointed would be the way to go to process those USB input events generated by toggling the switches and moving the pedal, and then later to be converted to MIDI messages by that daemon, which would internally ( or by means of a loop cable between Midi-IN and Midi-OUT ports on Duo ) reach the virtual pedalboard currently running on the MOD. And of course I will let you know of any advance!īut anyway the audio and analog sound part of Rig Kontrol is not what I am really interested in…

Sure, I could try to apply the manual firmware update and then see if Rig Kontrol audio interface gives any sign of life when connected to USB port A on MOD Duo. I fear I know the answer, but at least I would like to hear some of your opinions

Or I will always need to carry my PC in order to use the Rig Kontrol as a MIDI Controller ? Would it be too difficult for Mod Duo to replicate the task performed by the NI Hardware Service that runs on the PC and monitors the harwdare via USB ?
My question is: Could it be some way to force the Rig Kontrol to stay on MIDI Mode while disconnected from PC ( though may be still connected to Mod USB Host port A instead ) ?

In fact, you dont even need to really disconnect the USB cable in order to render the Hardware Controller useless: it is sufficient just to stop for a moment that service on the local services console, which causes the Rig Kontrol to leave out of “MIDI Mode” ( normally displayed as “CON” on the 7-seg LED Display on top ) and all indication lights go off … If you restart the asociated windows service ( while the USB cable remained plugged all the time ) the lights return along with the indication “CON” on the hardware controller LED display and everything goes back to normal…

The problem that I did not imagine in the begining, comes when you want to get rid of the PC and only keep Mod and Rig Kontrol for a gig or stage situation: Sadly, the successful situation described above only works as long as the NI Rig Kontrol is plugged by USB cable to the computer: not only for powering itself via USB ( that could be resolved getting the 5V power from somewhere else, of course, and not the PC ) but because it seems the controller configuration ( the CC midi numbers assigned to each switch and to the pedal on the Rig Kontrol 3 ) is kept in by a software that runs on the PC itself ( precisely the “NI Hardware Service”, run as a Windows service ). Note: Though, as some of you may already know, the Rig Kontrol 3 is really meant for both tasks: a hardware footpedal controller and also an external audio interface to connect your instrument and amp, I am only interested here in the Controller part, consisting of 9 foot switches, one expresion pedal, and the MIDI In and MIDI Out pair of DIN 5-pin connectors, but NOT the audio interface part: analog input and oulput 1/4" jacks, volume and gain knobs, and so on… Only want to actuate the pedal and foot switches and get them to send the corresponding MIDI orders to control the virtual pedalboard running on the MOD Duo.Īfter configuring Rig Kontrol on Windows with NI Controller Editor software and then assigning the pedal and the switches to different plugin parameters on the MOD Web UI by using MIDI Learn, all seems to work fine : the Rig Kontrol sends MIDI messages to the MOD Duo and the parameters assigned changes as expected… Hurrah!!! While waiting for the expresion pedal and footswitch extension for MOD Duo to finally be ready for shipment, I felt curious about using my Native Instruments Rig Kontrol 3 ( foot pedal controller/audio interface ) to accomplish a similar task but instead of connecting via Control Chain like the two above mentioned, I thought it should also work well by sending Control Change MIDI messages from Rig Kontrol ( when put in MIDI Mode ) to the MOD, through a simple DIN type 5-pin connector MIDI cable between them ( Rig Kontrol Midi-OUT -> Mod Duo Midi-IN jack ).
