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
What is the max bank stick count?The MBAY supports just one Bankstick (127 Patches) and there is one internal Patch.
Also wondering if MBAY can reproduce some of the ST 'tricks'; SID sound or Mod playback?Sorry, no Mod playback. But for more complex sound creation you can use the FX TABLE (with 32 steps in every patch):

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

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)

I've tried *everything* with the chip - no noise. So whatever the other guys did - this specific chip we have does NOT make noise.
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)

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:
I notice an odd thing. The output volume increases when I change my midi controller to channel 2 and even more to channel 3. After that it doesn’t matter if I change back to channel 1, the volume stays at that maximum.
Can you please test if this happens in your box? I'm using the default volume settings.
After Start up the default Volume of Tone ABC is the maximum (=15).
I can not confirm the described behavior with my MBAY. -
The noise is finally working.
Great!
I notice that you use this pin to generate a pulse on MIDI events. What is the purpose of that?[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.
Since I don’t have more AY chips, I would like to ask if you can do this modification and test the Microchip chips. ...I notice an odd thing.

It's on my todo-list now.

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,

Well after reinstalling the chip in the Timex, I could confirm that the noise generator is working well.
Great.
Please remove it from the black list.Done.

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

Hi * Juno User,
after a lot of coding fun MIDIbox JuCtrl V1.000 is released now.

I'll let you know how it works
perfect.

Hello smokestacksproductions,
I'm very interested in Your PCB/Project (building a SEQ V4 right now)!

Now the LPCXpresso LED2 is blinking 3 times (the last state = on).
-
Solved the Problem.
Solution:
VMware Player (4.0.4), Suse Linux 12.1 (32bit, with KDE) and LPCXpresso v4.2.3
It worked on the same (!) Host Computer (XP SP3 32bit).
:)
-
do you have access to another computer?
Yes, will try it on another Computer.
If it fails again, I will send the LPCXpresso board to someone who was already successful.
So I can exclude HW problems. I will post the results here.
-
Did you already plug the LPCXPRESSO into the MBHP_CORE_LPC17 module?
Ahoi TK!
No, I only used the plain LCPXpresso board and followed Your guide [installing the MIOS32 Bootloader @ http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core_lpc17.html ].

I do use LPCXpresso 4.2.3.201205301041 (Code Red Technologies)

Hi TAG
I got an error message in Mios studioWhat kind of error message?

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