    If you've got the config file then you've got the position of the elements over the SPI chain. So if you want to respect the V4+ config file with your own board, that's possible too, without waiting for Andy to get time to perfect and release his schematics ;)

    I'm aware of that already, but that is a reverse-engineering process that I'd rather not spend my time on.

    If the schematic was clean enough to create the board file with, then that is clean enough. I understand the term "priority" a little differently, but hey... It's good to see progress with our beloved SEQ!

    I you don't want to use any Andy's Boards then you can go from scratch, with the pinout of J8/9 and a blank Config file, no?

    Sure, that is always an option. However, having two different config files doesn't really make sense with the underlying functionality being exactly the same. But then, that approach also leaves a lot of freedom for changes, so that could possibly be a good solution as well.

    It's not a priority at the moment, sorry.

    I don't think you'd need to be afraid of schematics in the public - on the contrary, it would probably help you a lot once you have to do troubleshooting and support on your customers' builds. This community has been awesome in the past when it came to solving build problems. However, I do respect your priorities.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the v4+ taking off!

    I'll probably put the matrix schem up at some point. For now, I'm happy to supply it to those who have purchased the PCBs (just Peter, Adrian H, TK. and lazy beta testers :P ) or to those who need troubleshooting advice.

    That's not so nice, what a pity. So I'd need to buy a PCB from you in order to receive the schematics, although I don't even want to use your board?

  4. Peter, nice work! Also good to see a mini-TPD, albeit this seems to have only a single color?

    Are the UI schematics publicly available or do we need to reverse-engineer them based on the v4+ config file? I'm thinking about my own homebrew version using Marquardt switches, I don't like those christmas tree ones you are using :-).

    Best, ilmenator

    Regarding the encoder knobs: we will probably suggest to Adrian to counter-sink them "into the frontpanel", i.e. have bigger cutouts, like another famous sequencer out there :).

    I'd rather not "countersink" them - I always feel better without dust getting inside the enclosure.

    • 64 input ports and 64 output ports, scalable
    • 8 mergers, freely configurable
    • a panic button
    • zero latency for the router
    • configuration via software interface ("setup")
    • handling via a dedicated hardware interface (remote control) that can be placed anywhere, e.g. on the mixing desk (like a Lexicon LARC)
    • ports can be given a name, and these names are displayed in the user interface
    • setups can be stored and recalled via MIDI, and there is a program change table like in some older Yamaha synths
    • activity display showing in-, out- and merger activity
    • modular approach, so that I don't have to pay for all the IOs when I only need 32 because I'm Hawkeye
    • distributed, as in "I have a number of racks with equipment, and these are located all around my studio, but I want to keep my MIDI cables short with only one 'multicore' going to the central matrix from each rack"
    • obviously DIY, but preferably there is someone who has done all the hard work, and PCBs are made available
    • affordable

    The v2 of this will feature all of the above :happy:.
