  13. Put Waveblaster daughter board (Yamaha DB50XG) in a box?

    in Design Concepts

    Posted

    I'm confused...

    looking on bd50xg doughter board: analog GND is definitely separated from digital GND, but it's impossible to guess whether PIN 8 is connected or not. Unfortunately I don't have soundcard with waveblaster socket and I’m not able to activate daughter board :/

    From the other hand: there are options 'receive bank' & 'transmit bank' in XG Gold editor. Don't know if it works with db50xg or not. Probably works with sw60xg / mu10 ...

    db50xg can emulate QS300 sounds.

    Check this site - http://www.midiweb.de/ - there is a program called 'XG-Gold' - IMHO best editor for db50xg.

    As You can see on the screens, there is a lot of things, which can be controlled real-time (4 parts, each with independent LP filter with envelope etc...).

    In fact i was thinking about building dedicated midibox surface for db50xg in QS300 mode, but I didn’t realized this plan so far...

  19. Problem with JSynthLib - works very slow after envelope editions

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have a strange problem with JSynthLib. When I start the program everything works fine, but whet I try to modify envelope (only envelope, knobs and other controls works fine), jsynthlib starts to react very slowly. After that it’s impossible to edit patch. Only solution i have found is to close program and run it again.

    This is probably software/configuration problem connected with my new computer. I'have tested 3 versions of JSynthLib and always the same result - not only in Midibox sid editor, but also in other editors with envelope control.

    Maybe somebody had the same problem and can halp me ?

    My setup:

    Computer: WinXP

    Java:  1.5.0_06

    Midi: jamaha cbx driver (serial) / Emu 0404

    BestRegards

  20. A question about YAMAHA XG

    in Miscellaneous

    Posted

    'Hidden' QS300 mode works on db50XG, SW60XG (db50XG on ISA soundcard - very noisy) and MU10 (standalone module - hard to find, noisy when you use audio input).

    IMHO db50xg is the best option - it offers better sound quality then sw60xg/mu10 and it's easy to make it 'standalone' ;)

    db50XG does not have audio input.

    Unfortunetly it's impossible to recreate QS300 sounds on MU50/80/90/100 :(

  21. Using ISA soundcard as a standalone music

    d2k -> thanks for this link, it is, whot i was looking for :)

    The other question is how to translate midi commands into MPU-401 (whot should i send to the soundcard).

    If somebady has informations about MPU-401 programming and/or sw60xg soundcard, please let me know :)

    BTW. ISA bridge is a very good idea - fm synt combined with sid synth...  and sb live card for effects... :o

  22. Using ISA soundcard as a standalone music

    Hi,

    i have Yamaha SW60XG soundcard, which is really good. Unfortunetly it is old ISA soundcard, so it is imposible to use it with modern computers.

    I just wonder if it's possible to connect it to PIC somehow ? Card do not use IRQ and DMA.

    If You heve any knowledge about isa protocol, or any idea how to do it, please let mi know :)

    Regards,

  24. MIDIbox SID: new release V1.4 & new Editor

    in MIDIbox SID

    Posted

    I just can't wait, I have to ask You one more question: is it correct list of modules for fully featured SIDBOX with one SID ?

    1 CORE with PIC18F

    1 SID

    2 DIN (1 for encoders, 1 for buttons),

    2 DOUT (leds & ledrings)

    1 LTC

    1 LCD

    1 BANKSTICK

    I'm just going to start work as soon as possible. Im not good in soldering and it will be long process... But it's worth it :)

    Regards

    Great panel, The LCD is 16x4 ? I would add two more LEDS (midi in/out -  not very useful, but I like shining LEDs 8) ).

    I'm wonder, if movement of encoders will be transmitted by midi ? It would be great to add special mode to control external modules (eg. VSTi) instead of internal SID - it would be cheaper solution, then building MIDIBOX SID and MIDIBOX16E/64E/NG ?
