MIDIbox SEQ V4 Lite released

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.

sammichSID Final Batch!

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.

Manic-Manic (Very Happy)

Live jam using a MIDIBox sammichSID, Access Virus, Low-Gain LSDJMC^2, Yamaha RM1x and Mackie CFX12. Controlled my a rather delapidated Evoloution MK-149.

sammichFM by Nils and Wilba

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

Virtual MIDIbox SEQ V4

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.

MIDIbox SEQ V4 and BLM16x16+X Prototype

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

MIDIbox SCE for Korg Wavestation

http://vimeo.com/27590820?pg=embed&sec=27590820 This is a demo of a MIDIbox based DIY project that emulates both PROG- and PCM-cards for the Korg Wavestation line of synthesizers. These units were produced in the early 90s. While they are not exactly collector’s items, the RAM-, ROM-, and PCM-cards for these are very sought after today. The DIY project demoed here aims at replacing a RAM/ROM (PROG) and a PCM (waveform) card with a little MIDIbox-based circuitry and software that allows t

MIDIbox SEQ V4.0 Public Beta released

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! (press the Reload button on your webbrowser if you don’t see the updated pages) List of major changes: uses the new MBHP_CORE_STM32 module (ARM Cortex M3 based derivative) firmware completely rewritten in C – it c

Bass Guitar with integrated learning help

Project created by Graham. He wrote: I’ve been working on a MIOS-powered project for a few years now and am finally ready to share the results. It’s still very beta, but I thought others might enjoy seeing the project regardless. Basically, the idea is to provide a kind of “active tablature†right on the fretboard of a bass guitar. MIOS runs an onboard sequencer module which controls a bunch of LEDs embedded in the fretboard (125 of them!). Currently, I have some (PC) software for c

Chaos Matrix Demonstration (part 1 of 2)

Chaos Matrix is a custom built programmer for a Oberheim Matrix 1000 analog synthesizer. It’s capable of manipulating all 126 voice parameters including 10 programmable matrix modulations buses, ramp generators, 5 point tracking generator, 3 five stage envelopes, 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, and much more. It features edit buffer synchronization for visual feedback and inspection of all Matrix 1000 voices parameters, patch compare, patch init, advanced performance options for some parameters as we

Monome x Arcade Buttons Midibox

http://vimeo.com/6512581?pg=embed&sec=6512581 Travischen wrote: 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
