A short 3D view of the dipCoreF4 The name is dipCoreF4 now !

wow that stack! midibox goes fpga

m16 is pretty finished too ;) I'm on the last check and aesthetic details... Best Bruno

Thank you! New name, new silkscreen;) I will open a dedicated thread for the ensemble. I need feedback and beta-testers... Bruno

Hi Bruno, The operation is quite different in that the group/track/layer buttons are now accessed through the Selection row. The selection row function is in turn switched by the 8 buttons around the larger wheel knob. So now you would choose Track; this gives access to the tracks on all 16 buttons. The Group structure (G1/2/3/4) is preserved to maintain compatibility. A big benefit is that multiple selections are now possible, which would have been quite difficult with the old workflow. Another benefit is that the Selection row can stay active while using the GP buttons above. Layers are accessed in a similar way. Hopefully the labeling is more intuitive now, and users don't feel limited to 3 layers of trig/para. Bookmarks are now brought out to the front panel. With the MEC buttons, there's functionality not explicitly present in the v4 (e.g. Live). Also, each encoder has an independent switch, so no one should run out of buttons. Normally the switches would be assigned to acceleration though. Maybe Peter can fill in anything I've missed. Best, Andy

You can plan for around 700€ all up, including the case and Mouser order. Not fixed yet though. Best, Andy

So I acquired all the parts for my MB6582 years ago. Very slowly I assembled the base plate and then got into some problems during the checks I believe. Now after years of collecting dust I want to finish it off and get that awesome sound out of it . So this thread will probably be a debug/build/progress but also at some times a cry for help thread :P. So lets get to it. This is how I found it. Directly did the testing described in the MB6582 build guide. No Shorts between GND and Voltages SID's pin 25 are all connected to 5V and all pin 14 to GND Core's pin 11 are all connected to 5V and all pin 12 to GND 6N138 is connected to 5V and GND And now the trouble starts: On the 74HCxxx all pin 8 got to GND so that is good. But there are 3 problems on the pin 16 to 5v though. Looking at the picture you would already have guessed it, they are at U3_SID1, U4_SID2 and U23. So it is time to heat up the soldering iron and resolder those pins I guess. Comments are welcome and hope show you more progress soon.
