  1. Yesterday
  2. After playing around with the code it looks like what i am after cant be done, it's ok not an issue as i will be labeling everything anyway. today i finished the build on the MIDI_IO module, got it connected and after setting up a button as a note and defining the ports it worked fine sending out a midi to my XV1A synth build Now everything is running its time to work on the eurorack style control faceplates

  4. Thanks for the tips! I got it working again! I had changed LCD when I had my MB9090 PCB connected to the LPC17 setup, which I stopped using because the project seemed to stop and I couldn't figure out a panel case for it. I even found a note in one of my notebooks that says "change LCD type back when used with Wilba front panel and TPB". I went ahead and ordered the new core and some other odds and ends from Midiphy as my understanding is the new core has some more features. Thanks again for the help! Cheers, Alex
  5. try: upload the newest bootloader (with mios studio + http://www.ucapps.de/mios32/mios32_bootloader_v1_018.zip), reboot, on mios-studio - go to the mios-terminal-section, and type "help", then change to LCD type, the number off characters (2x40) and the numbers off X and Y Screens you have on your sequencer... then type "store" (was it store...save...? no idea, all commands are listed when you type "help") the core reboots and you will see some Text on your screens - then you have prooved that this is no hardware issue, then upload the newest LPC17 Seq V4 firmware, then report if it is still Black Blocks you see. by the way is your "orginal old core setup"? has the LPC-core ever worked? if not, try to replace the HC595 chip on it (IC2), also check the solderpoints that have to do with the LCD-Section (see the shematic: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_core_lpc17.pdf) ... Specially the groundpins, since we have a ground plane here, the plane sucks away the heat coming from the soldering iron, give enough heat on your solderstation, and heat the pins longer then normal... but bevore remove the lpc board, and IC2, so you dont destroy them... thats all - what comes in my mind.

  7. Hello all, I just tried to install the new .97 version of the seq V4 software and after uploading the software my LCD's are just showing black bars. It is not the LCD's work fine when hooked up to my original old core setup, so it seems to be something with the LPC17 core. Does anyone have any ideas? The LCD's have black bars and backlights they are getting power too. I've been trying to adjust the two trim pots but no luck so far. They are just the standard LCDs that I used back in 2010/11 when I first built the sequencer. I am assuming they should work without any code changes. I can use my old core setup for the time being but it isn't able to use the newer firmwares with the features I love. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Alex
  8. Hi, insured and tracked shipping to France is 16,49€ with DHL.
  9. hi did anyone tried that ? i can make it work with 0..15 but not 127 for currently selected track o CC#99 (0x63 - NRPN MSB) Selects the Track which should be modified via NRPN Allowed values: 0..15 for Track 1-16, 127 to modify the current selected track seq_midi_in.c says case 0x63: // NRPN MSB (selects track, if >= SEQ_CORE_NUM_TRACKS, take the currently visible track) nrpn_msb = value; break;

  12. Just curious, which album/track from Pink is this?
  13. So you´ve got a 4 row Display? if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 = If displayed items MORE THAN 5
  14. Hi! I am trying to achieve the same, use a 4x20 LCD display. I followed the instruction, and noticed the 2 default lines have shifted down 1 row. They are now in the middle two lines of the LCD. I guess that's fine for now. #define CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS 10 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y0 0x40 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y1 0x14 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y2 0x00 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y3 0x54 But I'm not sure about these: ;; NOTE: if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5, you have to adapt the DIN settings ;; in CS_MENU_DIN_TABLE below In the code: DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel6, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel7, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel8, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel9, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel10, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 How do I need to interpret this? Please remember I am a real MB newbie :-) Thanks, Ron
  15. Hi, Actually no, the command should be something like: LCD "@(1:1:1)LFO Freq %3d" but i think it would then display the value sent when script session is called, there might be a way to display another value, but i dont' know how. Alternatively you could use the TRIGGER EVENT function. It should update the display according to your EVENT label settings but also send the associated MIDI message. Bests, Thomas
  16. I wonder if you would use it in this way as an example? if ^section == 1 if ^bank == 1 log "bank 1 selected" set label="LFO FREQ:%3d" elseif ^bank == 2 log "bank 2 selected" set label="LFO RES:%3d"
  17. Thanks for the pointer Thomas, I did look through the info and the Label section, nothing there to show mapping labels. I will have another read through the Ngr docs this week and try things this weekend when I am off work. Thanks again
  18. Hi ssp, I don't remember if labels can be called from a map, but i don't think so. However, i think it is possible to change the display using a .ngr script. Bests Thomas
  19. can you call "labels" from a map? rather than using this label="LFO FREQ:%3d" can you have it call the label from a map and when the button is pressed it displays this label rather than waiting for you to say turn the encoder then it displays the label?
  20. Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Currently I am using an older type of PCB for the core and trying on getting that to work. I did notice the Modular Addicts base boards, and these look mighty fine, but shipping costs hold me back. 2 PCB's for total of 90 dollars is a bit expensive... Would be nice to have a European store. Cheers!
  21. Hi, I would like to use the MIOS studio on my Linux PC, but both version 2.4.8 + 2.4.9 crash on startup. I tried regular user, also as root. Regular user indicates a core dump is created. OS is Linux Ubuntu 22_04, desktop version. starting with strace does not reveal any suspects. Are there any specific requirements?
  22. Making a control surface the modular way is a good idea. These days being able to laser cut and 3D print things might also be options to consider. Those weren't nearly so readily available when MidiBox first started and the MBSID is one of the oldest MidiBox designs. Speaking of modular though, Modular Addict sells the MB6582 base and CS boards. I know you mentioned only wanting 2 SIDs, but it's still something to consider. You only need to populate what you want to use and can also use things like ARMSIDs. My own MB6582 is just that, 2 6582's and 2 ARMSIDs. The wiki has the build information so while it's not a small project, it's doable. The main thing is having that full control surface already made and designed makes using the synth soooo much easier.
  23. Hi all, I have just started to dive into the MidiBox world, so . My current goal is to use maximum 2 SID chips. I have the core running already and now working on the banksticks and DIN/DOUT. Because I have no experience yet with the Midibox, it is just not clear to me yet, what the minimum amount of knobs/switches/leds is versus the goal of quickly operating the synth and al of it's features. I guess i'm looking for a balance between a clean front, which jus the amount of dials/switches for making music. On the front-page manual ( http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=midibox_sid_manual_fs.html ) there is talked about the 'Step A Surface'. I guess for my current needs, this would fit my needs. However, I do not find any links to a designed faceplate. I would be more than happy with something made out of PCB (isof Schaeffer) like done in modular world today, eg: https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/d/dcfa477fc85074523b9ff74d32dcfe69ee1c253f.png Does anyone have any links to forum items which could help me with that? Best regards, Ronald
  24. So, after some time and changes in my studio, i have just fire up my seq v3. All day playing with it (just forget how fun this machine is), so by now im seeing "mios 1.9f" so, its possible to update to the last version (1.9h) is it safe ?. thanks.
  25. Just found a cheap source on AliExpress for the m3 threaded inserts for wood: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwPghFj Be sure to select m3xm5x6mm
  26. Also check out the wooden case that Technobreath designed. It's a simple case based on Sauraen's metal enclosure that he repurposed. I modified the 8 mounting holes so they would fit the wooden case. I'll be using 8 threaded inserts for m3 screws that I bought on eBay. You can find the pdf here: http://wiki.midibox.org/doku.php?id=mbqg_tb_case
