Hello RGordon, Basically yes. You will need a Core8 (MIDI in/out) Module and a DIN-Module (for the ENCoder). - Lemonhorse

Hallo Zossen, das hört sich seltsam an. Wenn die Störungen verschiedene IC's nur Temporär betrifft. Hier noch 4 weitere Gedankenanregungen (aus der Zeit, da ich mal eine MB64 zusammengebaut habe): * Noch mal alle Brücken und Masseverbindungen auf den betreffenden AIN-Modulen überprüfen * Versuche die Kabellänge zu den Potis möglichst kurz zu halten (so länger das Kabel, um so leichter kommen Störungen auf) * Versuche es mal testhalber mit einem dickeren Massekabel (Masse Rückleiter) * Teste mal Kondensatoren (10uF und 100n) zwischen Masse und +5V einzusetzen - nahe bei den "Problem-Potis"

Hello Yogi The MBAY supports just one Bankstick (127 Patches) and there is one internal Patch. Sorry, no Mod playback. But for more complex sound creation you can use the FX TABLE (with 32 steps in every patch): http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=8912:midiboxay_v2_fx_tab_planer_a3.pdf And here is a list with the MBAY MIDI Controller (CC): http://www.subfrequenz.net/midibox/mbayv2/MBAY2MenueLCD.pdf :-) - Lemonhorse

Hi Joshua! Welcome tho the MIDIbox Forum (1 posts)! :-) I would not advise You to use analog inputs (pots) instead of encoders - think of the patch workflow/handling (the JuCtrl is able to backup, load and send all Juno Alpha patches - from the Bankstick to the CS - from CS to the Juno Alpha - the Juno Alpha sends immediately the patch data to the CS via MIDI-Sysex, if You switch to another patch). Pots are not really made for this kind of dataflow/handling.

Please update to MBAY V2.3B [bUILD 20130829]→ corrected the FX TABle ENVelope Shape 1-8 function [bUILD 20130831]→ corrected Note on ABC / FX ENVelope Time Coarse/Fine execution http://www.midibox.o...idibox_ay_ym_v2 Best Regards, - Lemonhorse

V2.3: HW-Update [bUILD 20130825]→ CS: TONE ABC MIDI ACTIVITY LED added (LED TONE A=pin28, TONE B=pin29, TONE C=pin30 -> DOUTx4) It's a kinda note on / note off monitor for Tone ABC (activity control for MIDI / Tone ABC) http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_ay_ym_v2 Best Regards, - Lemonhorse

Johnmx found a solution. Some Chips need a RESET after power on. MBAY V2.2 [bUILD 20130821] AY38912A/P & AY38912A/P from Microchip with Noise enabled. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_ay_ym_v2&#software But it takes a little modification: do add a RESET line (see: CS-Button & LED Config / 4xDOUT pin 31) http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_ay_ym_v2&#hardware Best Regards, - Lemonhorse

Addendum 2: Hi Johnmx, That's magic. Your right. Some AY/YM Chips need a low-trigger @ the reset pin. Suddenly NOISE is working @ AY38912A/P from Microchip. There will be an MBAY 2 update. Thanks johnmx!

Addendum: After Start up the default Volume of Tone ABC is the maximum (=15). I can not confirm the described behavior with my MBAY.

Great! [bUILD 20111128] Core8 J14 (RD4): MIDI NOTE ON GATE PIN (@TONE A MIDI CH » Note On/OFF (Note On = +5V / Note Off = 0V)) The MIDI Gate-Function was a user request. It's on my todo-list now. Best Regards, - Lemonhorse

Hi johnmx, I ask myself: why do the other AY Chip functions (Tone ABC, Envelope, etc.) work? Somehow, this doesn't look like a bus timing problem to me (just a guess). How about a AY Chip exchange? I would like to check Your AY-3-8912A CBA GI in my MBAY. (Or we can do it the other way round - should I send You a checked AY38912 CDA GI Chip for testing?) Best Regards, - Lemonhorse

Great. Done. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_ay_ym_v2&#soundchips

Hi johnmx, this is sad, so I'll put the AY-3-8912A CBA GI on the "Chips with no Noise" List. ... Strange: according to the "TS2068 Technical Manual" the "Noise Generator" is enabled (Page 19, [2.1.6 Sound Generator]): http://www.1000bit.it/support/manuali/t2068/ts2068tm.pdf

Hi johnmx! The Firmware Link is fixed now. The F1-F8 LED will lit up when a function is available. For instance: @ Envelope Menu: all function-buttons (F1-F8) are available, so all LED's light up. @ Volume Menu: just six LED's lit up. More in detail here (Menu Shortcut Buttons): http://www.subfrequenz.net/midibox/mbayv2/MBAY2MenueLCD.pdf Best regards, - Lemonhorse
