It was several years ago that I dropped some questions here, and out of courtesy for the help received I thought I might give an update where I am right now. I was able to get the hardware and put it all together. In addition to the MBHP_CORE_STM32F4 mainboard it now consist of MBHP_MIDI_IO, a DIN and a DOUT module. I connected it together and did some basic hardwaretesting and everything seems to be OK. Next step will be building the hardware controls. It will have 8 SSD1306 based OLED screens. each with a clickable encoder. In addition two RGB clickable encoders positioned to the right of the 8 screens and encoders. As my intention is to build only one, I will use two sided veroboards, that I will adapt to size to match the case. It wil then be but into a tilted box. It depends how good it will look after putting the holes. If it is still OK after drilling and sawing I will leave it as is, otherwise it will be painted PPG blue. And I still have three options for the knobs. It will be my midi utility box with several modes: basic midi controller, converter between my hardware Mackie C4 and several synths and ... whatever I will need in the future. It will be base on the Midibox NG software.

Goodafternoon forum members. I am investigating the possibility to connect more than 8 SSD 1306 GLCD's. The below is shown in the schematic for connecting one LCD. But I was unable to locate J28. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Albert

I have found some older postings about this. But I wonder if it is possible to connect one or more 4 x 40 CLCD's to a STM32F407G? Albert

Justin, SLO's link is still active but the materials on the site seem outdated so I will give MA a go. I contacted them and the midi board will be available in some two weeks. The STM board is sold out and will be deliverable in a month. So I got to prepare myself and look into the soft side of things. Albert

@goyousalukis The first thing I want to do is to connect my Seaboard Rise to my Waldorf Blofeld. Waldor Blofeld is not MPE ready and I need to reroute some MIDI controls for that. And I don't always want to use a computer. I am little bit old fashion in that. Another future project could be buidling a Behringer BCR 2000 with LCD displays. Something like the Mackie C4 but without the need for hostsoftware. I do not expect that programming will be an issue. Soldering might be a challence, it has been some time since I did that for the last time. But with all those YouTube experts I hope to get through. Based on your info I will dig further into the hardware. Mouser has a presence in the Netherland so the part list could come in handy Thanks for your support so far. Albert

@slo Thanks for your support. Is there also a delivery point in the EU? I am resident in the Netherlands. I have no experience with it, but customs could make things more complicated I guess.

Hi, I am new on this forum. I am looking for some kind of tool that I can use to connect old and new midi gear. Most important feature I need at this moment is the ability to convert midi information from a MPE keyboard to be able to control my old and not so old synthesizers. It seems that MIDIbox NG could be that tool. Can anyone confirm that MIDIbox NG is the right tool for these kind of tasks? After examining the site and this forum an additional question came up. Are the MIDIbox NG designs still current? And will I be able to order the PCB's and all the needed parts? Best regards, Albert
