Here a first impression of the virtual MIDIbox SEQ V4 for the iPad.
As you can see, there is some space for additional buttons or display functions.
Due to the delayed delivery in Europe I won’t be able to test and finish the emulation before june…
Currently I cannot estimate if the timings will be so stable like on a real MBSEQ, however together with the upcoming OSC option we will get at least a nice remote control.
Crisp created a PCB for the “DualCore SwinSIDâ€. The two AVRs are piggybacked to simplify the connections. Both AVRs are plugged into sockets, so that it’s still possible to flash a new firmware (Forum Article).
The extension board can be plugged into the SID socket of a C64 and MBHP_SID module.
Swinkels started to update his webpage.
There are new sound demos in the music section.. New schematics and firmware will be released very soon.

After 350 kits sold (including 556 SIDs), I have finally got to the end of the waiting list. Woot!
There will be a final batch of 50 kits in November. I don’t have plans to keep lots of pre-packed kits in stock, therefore, once the last batch is sold, YOU CANT HAZ sammichSID! There are still plenty of kits available in the final batch.
Yes, this is some shameless self-promotion to boost sales so I can finish with my routine 50 kit batch and sell off all the PCBs and parts I have in stock.
sammichSID was designed to be the “no excuses†MIDIbox SID synthesizer kit – i.e. for all those people who want a MIDIbox SID but consider building it with modules too time-consuming, too newbie-unfriendly and/or too hard to design and construct a control surface, and where MB-6582 is too expensive, too daunting and/or too hard to source all the parts.
sammichSID therefore has the following design constraints/features, which support each other:
cheap
small
DIY newbie friendly

sammichFM was designed to be the “no excuses†MIDIbox FM synthesizer kit – i.e. for all those people who want a MIDIbox FM but consider building it with modules too time-consuming, too newbie-unfriendly and/or too hard to design and construct a control surface.
sammichFM therefore has the following design constraints/features, which support each other:
looks a lot like sammichSID
cheap (relative to fully modular MIDIbox FM with “pro-looking†control surface)
small
DIY newbie

Monome x Arcade Buttons all finished! My goal for this project was to be compatible with existing Monome programs and utilize big, fun to press, arcade buttons. For Monome compatibility I’m using a custom midi->osc converter running in Max/Msp. As long as it’s running, any Monome 64h program works with my matrix. Theoretically there are some bandwidth problems using midi but I haven’t run into any issues with the pr
After almost one year of work on the new MBHP_CORE_STM32 module, MIOS32, some example applications and documentations, I’m happy to announce the availability of “Core32″ kits in SmashTV’s MIDIbox Store, and the release of MIDIbox SEQ V4 as a public beta version!

url=http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq_lite.html]MIDIbox SEQ V4 Lite (in short: MBSEQV4L) is a minimalistic but powerful “MIDI sequence looper†which allows to apply various MIDI effects to spice up the original recording. The sequencer never has to be stopped! Even when a new sequence should be entered, loaded or stored from/on a SD Card, MIDI effects are added, etc. It will always run in sync with the internal or externally supplied clock.
MBSEQ V4 remote controlled by my new Button/Duo-LED matrix prototype.
The frontpanel hasn’t been created yet, and it’s difficult to push the mini buttons without button caps. But playing with this toy is already a lot of fun!
The BLM firmware is running on a dedicated PIC based core module and communicates with MBSEQ via MIDI. The optimized protocol is fast enough to achieve high refresh rates between 350 fps (if only a single line is changed) and 20 fps (if all 512 LEDs are
