DEVICE → LIOBOX

The DEVICE → LIOBOX module allows configuring all LIOBOX² parameters: setlists, pads and settings.

The LIOBOX module with the LIOBOX selection, model selection, model transfer, configuration import/export, menu selection and context section

LIOBOX selection​

Select a connected LIOBOX² to visualize the parameters of this specific LIOBOX².

Data model (model) concept​

The data model (or model) is a description of all parameters saved in the LIOBOX².

  • CACHED model: the model that can be modified without altering the actual LIOBOX² memory. This model is editable.
  • LIOBOX² model: the exact content of the LIOBOX². This model is not editable directly. Use the transfer function (Send to LIOBOX) to replace the content of the LIOBOX² with the content of the CACHED model.

Model selection​

Select which model to visualize:

  • CACHED (laptop icon)
  • Connected LIOBOX² (device icon)

Data model mismatches​

A mismatch between the CACHED and LIOBOX² data models is represented by a "dot" next to the selected LIOBOX menu name.

A dot next to "Pads Configuration" indicating a mismatch between the models

Model transfer​

The CACHED model is loaded with default values which might not match the currently connected LIOBOX² model. It is possible to either:

  • Copy from LIOBOX: replace the CACHED model with the LIOBOX² data model. This operation is purely internal to GoorooLink.
  • Send to LIOBOX: replace the LIOBOX² model with the content of the CACHED model. This operation involves transferring the data to the LIOBOX² through its USB link, which can take a couple of seconds.

Configuration import / export​

The CACHED model can be saved and retrieved (exported and imported) to be reused:

  • Import: replaces the content of the CACHED model (pads, setlists and settings) with the file content.
  • Export: saves the content of the CACHED model in a file.

This is particularly useful when having multiple LIOBOX² on stage and needing to duplicate the configuration of the LIOBOX².

LIOBOX menu selection​

Select the category of information to be displayed: Pads, Setlists or Configuration.

Pads configuration​

Pads configuration with the pad mode selection, pad bank selection and the four assignable pads

Pad mode selection and pad bank selection​

Each assignable pad has a unique configuration depending on the selected mode and the selected bank.

Assignable pads​

Click any of the four assignable pads to modify its function.

Pad properties panel: color, name, pad functions and MIDI trigger in

  • Pad color: select the pad LED color.
  • Pad name: name given to the pad (displayed in certain screen mode selections).
  • Pad functions: list of pad functions for the Short press, Double press and Long press events (depends on the selected mode).
  • MIDI Trigger In: activate/deactivate the pad MIDI IN.

Pad function = MIDI​

When selected, the pad function transfers a MIDI note, control change or program change depending on the selection.

Pad function set to MIDI: type Note On, channel 1, note 60, value 127

MIDI Trigger In enabled​

When enabled (ON), the MIDI messages received on the LIOBOX² MIDI port are checked against these configured values. If matched, the LIOBOX² triggers the corresponding pad Short press function.

Value = Any: when checked, the value is not checked against the received MIDI message (any value from 0 to 127 is accepted).

MIDI Trigger In ON: type Note On, channel 1, note 0, value Any

Setlists​

The Setlists tab: setlist list, track/marker list, and the add/remove buttons

Setlist list​

The list of setlists stored in the selected model, in order of creation. Setlists can be added or removed (only in the CACHED model).

Track/marker list​

The list of tracks/markers stored in the selected model.

  • Select and drag to change the order in the setlist.
  • Markers can be removed from or added to the setlist using the corresponding buttons.
