Well the alternative would be something like this: cheaper and even more practical, especially when you would like to break up with the "parallel channels" paradigm. (This is taken from the programmer's section of the forum, and it's an implementation by TK.)

Well spotted... that I would be interested in as well!

I would think he's talking about these?

With your explanation I was able to spot them :tongue: I am not sure why you would need all those in the first place? Are you going to push your rubber buttons that hard? Maybe it's a good idea then to mount the PCBs that hold the contact "grids" on a separate frame made from aluminium profile from underneath, and then attach the frame to the front panel. For a front panel that size, you would need a considerable strength anyways to make sure it doesn't flex.

Either your PDF doesn't show the "hidden holes", or I don't see them? What are they good for?

You'll have to log in with your forum's username and password first. Go and try :smile: !

Philippe, you have to log in to the Wiki first, just use your forum user name and password. Once you are logged in, the page should look like in rosch's screenshot.

Oh come on... :rolleyes: Ultimately, what you want is sell something, which is totally legitimate, but it belongs into the fleamarket forum section.

You are probably too focused on this to realize that the most important information is missing: this is the bulk order for TK's "SEQ Aluminium Desktop case" from Heidenreich, see this thread. Also, not sure why a new thread would be needed at all?

Beautiful, and very professional looking! :thumbsup:

The link to the pictures gives me an error message!?

Which version of the board are you using? From Mike's or from SmashTV's (the latter one has a version number on it)?

No beer for you... come back one year!

Not a time saver, as it is available in QFN and TSSOP packages only. Soldering this requires significant amounts of training and/or special soldering equipment. Go for MAX7221 instead, see for example the Stribe project (a MIDIbox version of this is described in this

That can only work if the MIDIbox knows the current parameter settings, i.e. you will have to send the patch data to the MIDIbox upon a patch change, write the code to interpret that patch data in the MIDIbox, and then it will work! Out of the box, MB64 cannot do that.

Not exactly the same, but you probably know that Access also released a similar programmer for the Oberheim Matrix 1000. There is an Oberheim out there. It is based on

Quote website: "We were informed that these were designed as the interface module for a Xerox copier machine.We believe that these are monochromatic... We do not have a datasheet for these LCD modules so we are selling them..." That basically translates into: They are trying to sell unusable junk. Without a data sheet the thing is worthless.

Yes - bookmarkerTM!

Just in case others are interested in this service: there is a typo in the above web address, http://www.platinenbelichter.de is correct!

Is that an 18F452 or an 18F4620 you are using?

Now I understand! If it was my system I wouldn't want another component in there. Two more cables, one more power supply...

Not sure about J19, but there is a tutorial that shows how to do that for J5.

BAN that guy from here.

17 is an unfortunate number, as MIDIbox modules support faders and buttons in multiples of 8. Sounds like it's not a MIDIbox anymore. The brain for a MIDIbox is always the core module, here it is most likely going to be the upcoming LPC17 core module - somewhat comparable to the STM32 but with Ethernet onboard. This is running MIOS, the OS, which serves all the modules attached to it. If you want to use a different "core", like a router, you might be able to use the modules still, but you would have to write drivers etc. for those yourself. And, where would you want to connect the modules to?

See, MIDIbox is a non-profit DIY project - actually, it's more like a community, and I can assure you that you will receive plenty of help from the more experienced guys here if you follow some simple rules which you are obviously doing already :thumbsup: : the most important one is probably that you have to be willing to invest some time into reading the information that can be found in the forum, on the WIKI, and in the many project descriptions and tutorials on uCApps.de. Once people realize that you are serious, and that they can expect something back from you (e.g. a nice project with some pictures and docu), you will find plenty of help here :flowers: ! The second rule, which is actually more of a recommendation, is that you start with a small project and try to implement parts of what you aim at ultimately. As MIDIbox is modular, you can always re-use the modules for the next project stage. You can find a nice introduction to the various modules (some of which are obsolete or near that) on uCApps.de. You will see that you will need modules like DIN for digital inputs (=buttons), DOUT for outputs (=LEDs), MF for motorfaders, etc. Take a look at the old gallery for some inspiration of what other people have done - on that page you'll also find a link to the forum gallery. You will probably realize that very often the mechanical aspects of a project are the most difficult for many. It can be extremely expensive to create that professional look for a one-off project. But then again, you can find many clever ideas of how people made their boxes special and good looking. I doubt that you will find motorized faders with coloured trays, but these you could build yourself. LED illuminated buttons are not a problem at all if you take some money in your hand. Mostly we end up using the cheap and simple ones for cost reasons...
