BU16 with Blackbox

How do I have to program the BU16 so that I can control the 16 pads of the black box.
Thank you for your help

I believe the 1010 devices use ‘MIDI Learn’ to map controllers. You would enter MIDI Learn mode on your Blackbox, tap a pad then tap a BU16 button. It would be something to that effect.

Note that the default behaviour for buttons on Grid devices is ‘Momentary’. You will almost certainly want them to be ‘Toggle’. You can use the Editor to add a Button Mode block to the ‘Init’ tab of each button and set the type to ‘Toggle’.

We have some pre-made configs on the Profile Cloud as well, you should check them out, one of them might suit your needs:

We made a showcase video about that configuration on our Instagram:

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I have the following problem: as soon as I plug in the BU-16, the black box freezes or turns off and on again, etc.
Firmware on the blackbox is 3.1.2 and on the bu-16 is the latest firmware. I also installed the clip-start patch for the blackbox via the grid software. But as soon as I put the controller, the blackbox crashes as described above…

Hi,

It sounds similar to a known problem that was resolved by using the original power supply for the blackbox. Please try switching to the original power adapter to see if it stabilizes the system and resolves the freezing issue.
