TK... Let me know if you ever come to Australia! Frank... Perl was acting wierd last night... I installed active perl, and it wouldn't work, even clicking on the convert file wouldn't work... So I installed perl as well, and that wouldn't work either... So I tried Dan's suggestion, and that didn't work... So I tried active perl again, and.......... It worked! and continued to work after... Just my computer showing it's personality again!!

Wow! I wonder if it has a touch sensor?http://www.alltronics.com/images/22P011.jpg I like the ordering method... they cater for cheques, and you can even phone to give your credit card! (nice and safe) nice, easy site! BTW, those joystick pots are rediculously cheap! I bet we'll see a few of them appearing on midiboxes!! ::)

SOOO Relieved now, I almost cried! THANKS TK :) Now I can concentrate on using this baby to make music :) BTW, I like Frank used this new mode ;) TK, if you lived in Australia, I would be taking you to the pub right now! BTW, Dan, just let me know what features you want enabled, and I'll make the .syx file for you, until you find out what is wrong. Or email me a modified text file of the main.asm file, or even a few variations if you want. ;)

oh, I didn't see that reply, Dan, thanks! I'll try that now! ;)

Hey, Dan/Ian/Frank, could one of you guys please make a .syx for me, of the new LC application, with everything standard, except for the touch sensor option (make it 2, instead of 0, please!) After 6 months or so of trying, I finally have hope that it may work, so please help so I can get some sleep! ;) Thanks again TK for all the hard work. steve

so far, mine is still poor. Maybe it will be good with touch mode 2, but activeperl isn't working for me :'( I installed activeperl, put the main file I generated in mplab into the bin folder, put the 'convert' file into the bin folder too, and double clicked on the "convert" file, but nothing happens. Any ideas? ...Steve

Frank has had success with the neew panasonic fader driver, so maybe the panasonics aren't so bad after all... (except they have no touch sensor) I am about to try the new driver too! ;D

I think this is one of the best features of FL! so, you just need to make a template within fruityloops, using the same controllers that cubase uses! ;) I think the real annoying thing is that fruityloops dosen't support motorfaders. But then again, I'd rather do my mixing in one of the high end applications, depending on financial resources! BTW, can the rotary encoders on my LC be used to control fruityloops? I still haven't figured out how to get into GPC layer yet!

I will try to find time to test it this week, but I am very busy (last week of college until holidays) and I'm in the process of putting my home studio back together, after weeks of soundcard problems at my friend's place (I think it was the cheap connectors, I wish I could afford neutrik!) Though I may get to try it in the next day or two, hopefully. Yes, I know that it shouldn't send anything from the faders in read mode, that's why I asked! (to see if the errors are caused elsewhere, try to 'isolate' the problem) I admire your skill with the vectorboards!

Hey Frank, whoa... 4 different board setups... Did you redesign the PCB? Yes, 1.2 was much better... the accelleration adjustment seemed to make things worse, in 1.3. Maybe it is nearing the limit of the processing speed the pic can handle, without making errors... I wonder if there is anything external which could cause errors... quality of the crystal, etc?? actually, I think the default for software touch sensor is off, if it is even implemented in LC/MC at all. does such behaviour occur if the faders are set to read? BTW, a while back, I noticed that if only 4 of the sliders were moving, that errors were much less than with 8 moving, so I swapped to a bigger power supply, in case the pic was running out of 'juice', causing errors.

if its a joke, then harmony central is in on it too... http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2002/IBVA-for-MAX.html

sorry Dan, I can't answer that, but how do you get to use the GPC layer anyway??

I can try it in my holidays next week, if you want to email it to me, TK, but my spare 18F is a suspect... all the DOUTS stopped working one day on my LC, and I swapped PICs, and it was working again... ??? But I don't have DOUTs connected on my MB64 anyway... will the MIOS MB64 work on Greg's PCB? BTW, I can't remember why, but my MB64 always seemed to work better with v031 than the later versions. (I think it was a trial version, the first one with the dynamic pot jitter filter, and the PWM dimmer disabled) But I have a few ideas to reduce jitter now anyway (electronics mods) bye, from Steve ;)

Has the LC/MC got that simulated 'touch' mode that Thorsten invented? (for panasonics) If you have it on, maybe try turning it off... Apart from that, have you tried to minimise interference with the methods I suggested? Sometimes my faders stop in the wrong spot, or don't move at all(I'm using logic), and I switch banks and go back again, and it returns to the correct on-screen position. some settings of the Analogue (AIN) deadband, MF speed and MF deadband can cause juddering effects. I had no luck at all with mios 1.3, and went back to 1.2. Have you tried 1.2 yet? TK, maybe there needs to be an option to increase the delay from when the fader detects/sends data to the application, between the time that the fader position is updated by the data into the midibox, and the time that the midibox sends fader movement data to the application? :-/ Frank, I hope you get some success soon, I don't have SX or nuendo, but I may try your experiment with the demo in my holidays in one week! anyway, we will have a new panasonic driver soon! ;D

fualty ram module? My computer wouldn't do anything at all once, due to faulty ram.

Also, if you are in a hurry for the unit, you should consider buying the commercial unit... it takes ages to build one of these babies (for me anyway) Also, you can often get less than the retail price if you pay cash to the dealer...

my guess is around 400 to 500 euros, to build one with all options, but getting a nice front panel lazer cut might push it higher. I'm only guessing, cos I never added up all the receipts from mine! Can someone else clarify? Oh, I just remembered... TK posted an estimate on the forum somewhere... maybe 6 months ago... do a search on "estimate" or something like that... The cost also depends on either panasonic or alps motorfaders... I used panasonics, but would go for alps if I could get them... (not sure where to get them, but apparently they cost 20 euros each.)

I'm still in, Though I won't have time until next year to use them... so put me towards the end of the "Q"! (I'm easy... not worried ;))

I thought there was already such a module... like on Axel's LC, for the timecode readout... see "get inspired"

I recently posted a list of things somewhere on the forum (will look later, to find it again) on how to minimise noise, etc, which will cause erratic behaviour like this. Hopefully it will be fixed when Thorsten has the time to write the new driver soon. basically, the list included mains filter, star earth, thick wires for earth currents, (and low resistance) and adding in a few caps here and there. (.1uF) and there were probably other things too. As well as cleaning the flux off the boards (oops, I haven't done that yet!) Also ferrite beads on the CV's. (from Pots) do a search on "star" , and limit it to 3 weeks back... You are using alps?

thanks Dan, yeah, mine wouldn't go higher than that either, I had to change one of the resistor values, to get a more useable range, it was a resistor near the voltage regulator and the trimpot somewhere, from memory I think I changed a 100 ohm reisistor to 50 ohms, or something...

yes, they are way too greedy! Last week my account went below $0, less than 24hrs later it was up past $0, and they charged me a $30 overdraw fee! >:(

Hey Dan, what voltage worked best for your MF's?
