Hi everyone.
I’m a happy owner of an Exquis and I have to congratulate the designers for their forward thinking ideas.
My concern is to reconfigure the keyboard-midiNotes mapping as a linux user. (my exquis have been successfully updated to firware 3.0.0).
A few weeks ago someone asked about a possible linux app but the topic got no follow-ups (Inquiry about support for Linux of Exquis app).
I tried to run exquis app on wine (10.0) with no luck. While running the setup program (exquis_3.0.0_setup.exe) under wine, after selecting the language, a popup shows up indicating an internal error : « Cannot expand ‹ commonpf64 › constant on this version of Windows ».
I then discovered a ‹ MAX › patch for this task (GitHub - intuitiveinstruments/MAX_KeyRemapper: A Cycling'74 MAX patch to remap the Exquis keyboard) but MAX | Cycling’74 is only available on Windows/MAC.
Thus, I tried to manually compose a sysex file remapping key 0 to midi note 60 (as a test), based on the documentation of the patch mentionned above, and send it to the exquis using (midi-sysex-io from Erriez, available on github). Unfortunately, I did not manage to make it work : the exquis turns off the LEDs under the buttons on the bottom row for a few seconds, and then the mapping remains unchanged.
The documentation downloaded from (dualo dot com slash en slash exquis-resources), entitled « Developer Mode Midi specification » does not seem to correspond to the documentation of the patch (above github link about MAX_KeyRemapper), which could be outdated? Moreover this « Developer Mode Midi specification » does not seem to have a section about remapping exquis keys to midi notes. I could not find any other documentation about exquis sysex midi messages.
Any help to a linux user wanting to use a custom keyboard-midi notes mapping would be appreciated !
