Seems that I was blind for the drop-down "Midi device name" in the right column yesterday. Perhaps I looked only into the left column or thinking, that the right column is related to CW only.

Anyways, after I picked my MIDI controller in "Midi Device Name", buttons, knobs and jog wheels were recognized and values shown in "Midi Control" and could be assigned:

But nevertheless I still have 3 questions:

1. When I map a knob, with a value range from 0-127 to the "RIT" knob, it will change RIT in the +/- 2000Hz range with a step size of 32Hz, Is this somehow configurable?
2. How can I map a jog wheel on the MIDI controller to become the "VFO wheel" in Quisk? It was my primary goal, when I bought the MIDI controller, to get a VFO knob. Unfortunately I could not find a way to map a Jog Wheel on the MIDI controller to the VFO. The only options in "Assign Midi Control to Jog Wheel" are (1) Vol, (2) Rit, (3) Ys, (4) Yz and (5) Zo !?
3. Assigning a MIDI Jog Wheel to "Rit" in Quisk is working fine. Is there a way to influence the "Speed" in Quisk by the speed of the Jog wheel? My Jog Wheel returns 1 (127, turning counter-clockwise) for normal speed of rotation and 2 (126) for high speed of rotation.

Looking forward to your expertise

I am trying to use my "Hercules DJControl Compact" together with the MIDI capabilities of Quisk 4.2.30.
I tried it on

1. Windows 10
2. Linux Mint

I could validate on both platforms, that the communication between the MIDI Controller and the OS is working, by using

1. Pocket MIDI on Windows
2. "aconnect -l" and "aseqdump -p "DJControl Compact" on Linux Mint

But in both cases the config dialog for MIDI in Quisk stays grayed out and there is no way, to map any MIDI commands/events to Quisk functions:


According to my understanding a MIDI event should show up in the field "MIDI Control" and I should be able to map it to a function in Quisk.
But whatever I do on the MIDI controller nothing shows up in that field!?

I guess, I need to configure somewhere the "name" of the MIDI controller, which is in my case "DJControl Compact", but I could not find where.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, to get it going.

BTW: I looked into F5NPV's posting (https://f5npv.wordpress.com/quisk-midi-controller/), how he is using his MIDI controller, but he is mapping the MIDI events in a bash script to key presses, which essentially makes the Quisk MIDI functionality (if it exists) obsolete. I also searched this group and the internet for any relevant information, how to configure a MIDI controller in Quisk and could not find anything useful.

Thanks Neil, I found it. I thought it was on the main Quisk panel with all the other buttons and sliders and I did not look inside the config screen.

Hi Jim,

very good to know - thanks!

Hi Pierre,

Just in case you haven't found it yet (I just read your question).
If you select config using the "Config" button on the screen, then choose the "Config" tab then
the "Tx level" slider is the 7th item down on the left hand side.

Hi Mario,

Thanks for this info and thanks to Michael for his post which reminded me to try it.
I now have my VFO knob mapped (on a Serato DJ2GO) to tune.

73, Neil? G4BRK

Hi Mario,

Thanks to you I was able to map the VFO knob of my DM4DS Midi controller correctly. Very much appreciated.
+1 for adding this to the config screen.

Hello Stephen,

I will extend squelch to CW in the next release. Please test, as I am a little worried about latency. You may need to turn off squelch once the net starts.

Jim,
Thanks for your answers.
About the last point you don't understand: I read in Config-HL2-Bands-Tx Level the following (i) "This sets the transmit level 0 to 255 for each band. The config screen has a slide 0 to 100% so you can reduce the transmit power..." I don't find this slide, where should it be. I'm using v.4.2.29.

What is the Rflna slider, what is its purpose?

I controls the RF low noise amplifier in the HL2.

What is the screen got when hitting the Bscope button?

A bandscope display is the whole RF spectrum received by the HL2.

How can I show the "slider 0 to 100% to change the transmit power", which is indicated in the HL2 - Bands - Tx level comment?

I don't understand.

This is a good time to train your students to read the documentation. Quisk does not work with Python 3.12. Once there is a version of wx that works with 3.12, and once I get some free time, I will fix this.

Hello Rob,

The sdriqpkg directory was eliminated, and the Python hardware file quisk_hardware_sdriq.py reads the Rx I/Q samples up to a rate of 185 ksps. This interface is worth a try. You will probably have to program carefully using large blocks and no print statements.

Hello?Jaroslav,

I do see your point. But it is not easy to do. First, the HL2 does not know if there is an ATU. The "No ATU" message appears if there is no IO board. And the bottom row with the "ATU" message is created before the PC can query the HL2 for the existence of the IO board. And since the query for the IO board relies on an I2C transaction over UDP, the time this will take is not known with certainty.

I don't want to complicate the code, so I am inclined to rely on the user to know if she has an ATU or not. At least the "ATU" label means that if the user has an IO board with an ATU attached, the control is there.

Thanks so much. You reported the problem, solved it and provided a fix. Nice work!

Hi Jim,

thanks for fixing the docs. But I still think the code also needs update. I think if no ATU is available, the GUI should from the start shows the "No ATU" message. Now, if Quisk is started it shows "ATU" and if you click the listbox the message changes to "No ATU" and stays "No ATU". I.e. it should probably try to query the ATU on the Quisk init and set the message accordingly

That is true, but you could also write your own hardware file and put your logic into ChangeBand(). This is called whenever the user changes band.
