Is anyone using a 16x2 LCD display with the latest SID application? I'm planning a minimal control surface (step B). The values per page in the MIOS app can be set to 4 instead of 5, but on the SID pages Thorsten mentions 20x2 as minimal. So, will i need to adapt the app myself to support a 16x2 display, or does it completely supports 16x2 by setting the values per page? Anyone using display sizes other than 20x2?

You're right, i forgot about Pushpin! Pity dsprado seems very dead, i send them some emails about a year ago about their palm soft, but never got any reply, last update of the site was somewhere in 2001... There seems to be some usable info in the pushpin manual on their site, i'm interested in anything you find out more about this... nanoloop is kewl, but real midi in would indeed be even kewler... ;D

Don't think this can be done, the gameboy's sound engine needs to be controlled from the internal Z80 processor, as there is no dedicated sound chip. I have a gameboy with nanoloop (http://www.nanoloop.de/) and a special midi cable that lets you sync it to midi clock. Very cool! Check out this article which sums up about everything: http://www.em411.com/show.php?area=hardware&area_id=104

I'm just working on the PSU of the SID as well. On my C64 PSU, the connections are like in the PDF. On the schematic, the pins are displayed as if you look at the plug of the C64 powersupply, that is the same as looking at the back (the soldering pins) of the 7-pin DIN connector inside the C64. 123: the powerswitch is a DPDT (double pole double throw) switch, which means it has two switches in one. Hope this helps! cheers

Great! ;D

Great! ;D

For those into coding the 8 special characters of a character LCD: i've made a JavaScript WYSIWYG application that tries to make this process a bit easier: http://compiler.kaustic.net/lcd5x8char/ You can copy-paste existing assembler char definitions into the right textplane and convert them using the "Parse" button. "Generate" goes the other way, so you can copy the graphics straight into your source files... cheers! ;) (If you notice anything odd, let me know + what browser/platform you're using.)

http://www.monomachine.com/sound/?synth=SID "The SID synthesis is based on the first elektron synth - Sidstation." whoa! sexy beast! :o

??? Sure it's still there... i think the Reason 2.5 installer places a file "MIDI Implementation Charts.pdf" in your Reason folder. If not you can download it from propellerheads.se

Easy: just use the LTC schematic and leave out the MAX and the 74HC00 for the additional MIDI ports. cheers

Good God! Â :D Imagine adding gamepads... MIOS Pong with a SID soundtrack... Yay!

Wild! ;D Many thanks for the help (again)! :)

Being new to assembler and learning by example, i'm trying to adapt the Tiny Control app. I'm trying to create a function to display a single-char bar (as on the MidiBox64) using 7 special chars (0x00 to 0x06) and the standard char 0xFF (which is a complete filled bar, that way i save one char). I got this far and it works pretty well for values under 112 (bars 1-7) ;; -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; print a parameter bar ;; IN: number of parameter (0x00-0xff) in WREG ;; -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TC_DISPLAY_Page_PrintBar lfsr FSR0, TC_VALUES_BEGIN ; base address movwf FSR0L ; write WREG to FSR0L rcall TC_DISPLAY_Hlp_CalcPtr_VMode ; get pointer to value mode entry tblrd* ; read table entry ;; move para value to WREG movf INDF0, W ;; devide value by 16 = get value in range 0x00 - 0x07 rrf WREG, F ; WREG/2 rrf WREG, F ; WREG/2 rrf WREG, F ; WREG/2 rrf WREG, W ; WREG/2 andlw 0x07 ;; this is not right... :( IFSET WREG, 0x07, movlw 0xFF call MIOS_LCD_PrintChar return I have trouble coding the condition "if the value is 0x07 use 0xFF instead" for the 8th bar... Can anyone give me a hand or point me in the right direction with this one? thanks in advance! MIOS ROCKS! ;D

Yes, let's order as many free 18F452s as we can get shall we? Jeez... :P

Yiehaa! :D Updated the kx drivers and everything is ok! Many thanks for the help Thorsten! Now i can start on my first MIOS app ;D Pictures of the box soon! cheers

Yikes! Ok... i think that's bingo, if i send a sysex i receive 0 bytes back on the input port with a physical loopback. I'm gonna try with the lastest kx drivers tonight...

Hi Thorsten, thanks for the reply! Checked it but i think i have the device setup right?

Correction: it gives F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7 every 2 secs, but not during sysex. I just tried with yet another pic and a new core: exactly the same... :-/

I had a core with bootstrap 1.1b, mios 1.2, tc 1.1, ID = 0000000000000000, but i couldn't sysex it anymore... But if i send F0 00 00 7E 40 00 0F F7 i got F0 00 00 7E 40 00 0F 00 F7 back. Midi in and out seemed to work ok. My sysex setting are 4* 2048, delay 750 after F7. If i tried to overwrite the tc 1.1 app: nothing, no checksums, an automatic mios reboot, but the 1.1 app was still there. Upload MIOS 1.3 during first 2 secs of startup: nada. Now i burned a new pic with bootstrap 1.1b, id 0, and it just keeps sending F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7 every 2 secs, even during upload of mios 1.3, and still no checksums... But it did work before, so... what to do? :'( I've read TK's bootloader pages over and over again but am i forgetting something important?

quote from the ucapps faq: I think it's quite clear where the boundaries are, no? If i design a midibox for my own use and have someone else make it (even if that someone is making profit out of it) is that a violation then? I think not... I think Schaeffer is making money indirectly from midibox frontpanels, right?

dB? VU? PPM? ??? Maybe have a look at the links in this thread: http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=france;action=display;num=1053468154

Yes, you need QuickTime Pro to be able to save movies or re-exncode them. There should be some options that enable playback of the clip on a PC. You can't change codec/format in Final Cut Pro?

The QuickTime movs you are trying open on a pc are self-contained? What if you try to re-encode them from within QuickTime on a mac en try on a pc then?

Come on people! Don't be shy! ;D
