Appendix 1. Customising some button functions
Function buttons F1–F4
In the root of the SD card there is a file named MBSEQ_HW.V4. This is the hardware setup file. Most of
the settings there don't need changing, and are anyway beyond the scope of this manual. However,
on the Wilba frontpanel there are four buttons labelled F1, F2, F3 and F4, which can be customised
relatively easily (and are meant to be so). The default functions for the buttons are:
F1: Quick access to the Track Selection page
F2: Quick on/offtoggle of live forwarind mode (Fwd)
F3: Quick on/off toggle of recording (Rec)
F4: Save the complete session
In the HW setup file they appear like this:
# F1 is located at SR M3 Pin 3
# F2 is located at SR M2 Pin 2
# F3 is located at SR M2 Pin 3
# F4 is located at SR M1 Pin 2
# SR Pin <-- this line begins with a #, so it's
"commented out" (not part of the code)
BUTTON_TRACK_SEL M3 3 <-- this line defines button F1 as the Track
Selection button
BUTTON_LIVE M2 2 <-- this line defines button F2 as the Fwd
toggle button
BUTTON_REC M2 3 <-- etc.
BUTTON_SAVE_ALL M1 2
If you want to change the default functions, all you need to do is keep the “BUTTON_” in the start of
the line, add your preferred function after it, and leave the SR and Pin columns unchanged. The
possible button functions are listed in HW setup file, and are of the form:
# SR Pin
BUTTON_STOP M3 5
BUTTON_PAUSE M2 4
BUTTON_PLAY M2 5
BUTTON_MUTE_ALL_TRACKS 0 0
BUTTON_MUTE_TRACK_LAYERS 0 0
BUTTON_MUTE_ALL_TRACKS_AND_LAYERS 0 0
BUTTON_UNMUTE_ALL_TRACKS 0 0
BUTTON_UNMUTE_TRACK_LAYERS 0 0
BUTTON_UNMUTE_ALL_TRACKS_AND_LAYERS 0 0
Lines that have a non-zero entry for the SR and Pin columns are already assigned somewhere (like
stop, pause and play above), so there is no need to assign them to another button. However, entries
