Where are you shipping from?

Pricing, shipping costs? :)

What do you mean by PCB spacing? Do you mean the spacing of the holes on vectorboard? (2.54mm or 0.1 inch)?

*drools* ;D

"shot into eternity methadone kitty iron serenity" Alan Ginsberg - The Clash / Ghetto Defendant first thing that popped in me head... :)

Yep, sure! Been busy as well on other things than music lately, but i'm still interested in a musical collaboration of some sort with fellow midiboxers... :)

COOL! ;D

I'll have a look. Thanks! :)

Well my reason for the seperate boards was that i intend (*if* all goes well ;D) to connect multiple digipots to multiple effect boards. Some effect require a combination of 10K, 50K and 100K therefore i thought this was the best way to go... I also wanted to seperate the digital stuff and the analog stuff (thought that i would otherwise have even more noise problems...) The Muff is running off a 9V battery for the moment, so digital and analog psu/ground are seperated. No the noise pickup is there all of the time, varying if i touch the wires that connect the sustain pot. If there's only audible clicks when controlling the pots i don't mind, i don't plan to use it that way, just to be able to store/retrieve/edit patches is what i aim for...

Hey Duggle, that is great schtuff! I just finished building a Big Muff and connected it to an Analog Devices AD5204 Digital Potentiometer controlled by MIOS... it picks up a lot of noise and hum indeed. Especially the sustain pot in the first amp stage is very sensitive. I'll be trying shielded cables between the analog and digital circuit (the Muff and the digipots are on seperate boards) which should help a little bit... If that doesn't help i'm going to have a look at the method you suggested!

Nope, Reason doesn't send *any* midi out... (What is annoying as well is that it doesn't even have a "snap" function.) :(

I don't expect it to be high quality at all, but for me it seemed fun enough to try it out someday.

I picked this up from the EM411 forum: http://centauri.ezy.net.au/~fastvid/picsound.htm If i have lots of time... with these PIC16F877's lying around... ;D

PIC18LF452-I/P works as well, i have one core running with it. cheers

It has a big WOW factor but that is about it... Ergonomy?

Hmm... could it be the LTC module is what you're looking for? You can just use one 74HC00 for a led that gives you midi out feedback.

Coolness! ;D

P.B.C.K. (Problem Between Chair and Keyboard)

DIN = digital in, used for connecting buttons, buttons = on or off (therefore the D in DIN) DOUT = digital out, used for connecting anything that accepts logic on or off (voltage or no voltage), use this to connect LEDs (but also other stuff like relais, CMOS switches, ...)

They usually come in a small, black, static-protected, plastic-but-solid, rubber padded box. I think you can safely smash it against a wall without harm, it takes some serious force and abuse to damage anything inside. There... :)

I think you can use the PGA with an SPI interface to the core (see the aout example under mios downloads). Do you plan to use daisychain multiple PGA2310's or just use one? I've been adapting the AOUT example for use with Microchip and Analog Devices digital potentiometers. The difference with this one is that apparently it uses 2 8-bit data bytes (value for channel 1 and for channel 2) and no address bits. If you wil use only one chip, you can just write a function that stores the 2 values for both channels in AOUT_SR_H (high byte) and AOUT_SR_L (low byte) and then call AOUT_LoadSR (AOUT_NUMBER_OF_SR = 1). That should work i think... If you plan to daisychain them, you will need to adapt the AOUT_LoadSR function, because you will have to update all the channels of all ics (you cannot send NOP commands to the PGA2310 and need to send all the correct values for each channel)
