  1. Broccoli18 and Bootloader - SUCCESS!!!

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I'm also taking suggestions about the most creative use of a JDM board (besides it's intended use).

    damm, these pcb´s look great.

    Even i just made my diploma as artist i have no creative idea what to do with these. I have some misroutet pcb´s which i etched, but they are just lying in a dirty box, and thats quite boring.

    All the best luck to your jdm boards, may they rest in peace.

  3. Feedback on Traktor controller

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Posted

    Just wanted to tell you that i tested ableton live for my dj setup and it is so much better and nicer than traktor that my controller wil be designed for that. (just think about all the vst effects you can use)

    The best thing: Live has midiout, so moterfaders and encoders will be in my fadermixer.

    check it out if you want. www.ableton.com

  7. MIOS übertragen ??!!

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    P  1  C  1  1---

    <empty>

    Das heist:

    P 1: Patch 1 (von 128.)

    C 1: Midichannnel 1 (von 16)

    1... : SID 1(von 4 falls Du SIDSlaves hast)

    Wenn Du keinen Bankstick dran hast, hast Du immer nur einen internen Patch zur verfügung (heißt dann eigentlich "internal").

    Wenn Du einen dran hast kannst Du die Patches von Thorsten (example_patches_v5.zip, befinden sich auf der SID synthesizer Seite.) über Midi auf den Stick übertragen. Entweder mit Jsynth oder Midiox.

    Les Dir auf jedenfall midibox_sid_sysex_implementation.txt durch (ist in der Applikation mit drinnen).

  10. midio als drumtrigger

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    Ich würde Dir ein 2 Input and Gate empfehlen, Google mal danach.

    So bist du unabhängig von der Notenlänge. Ich habe mal eine 909 Bassdrum nachgebaut und die ist sehr abhängig von der länge des triggerimpulses, und mit einem 2 Input and Gate kann man sehr gut mit dem Kondensatoren die richtige Länge einstellen.

    Vielleicht ist das aber auch digital zu lösen.

  11. jsynth again

    Posted

    i would if i could save them.

    I mean if i can backup them! Sometimes after i tried something knew with the hardware, the bankstick is formating itself and all the patches are gone.

    Today i did a little bit of testing and i guess the problem is my PC. Or better the usb port on my PC. Although uploading a code was never a topic.

    So i will stick to Sysex Librarien. At the moment it is a little bit complicated but it works. The Problem is that the application does not have a "send and receive" funktion. So i have to send the request first and then go to receive very fast. The first two or three patches get lost but thats ok. Maybe i contact snoize to implement this feature.

    Does anybody else know a app. for macs witch can send and receive sysex.

    Has anybody tried it with a Sequencer like Logic or Cubase?

    Just downloaded Sound Diver from Emagic but i guess this one only can handle comercial hardware!

  12. How to modify pcb in eagle?

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    i would change the library. its fast and save.

    if you change a package which is already used and you add the changed package to the board, eagle recognice that you have a new package and is updating the board, very handy.

    If you just need the package once i would definetly build a new package with copy and paste.

    My experiences

    Hi Thorsten,

    but a whol BankStick backup can be realized much easier, just follow these instructions: http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_backup.txt

    sorry i didn´t make that clear enough but i tried that.

    So i went back to my XP machine and give Midiox a try (send and receive), but here it stops recording after 2000-5000 bytes

    i don´t know what happens here maybe it is the usb port of my old PC but it is not working with SysEx Librarian under OSX either. Here i got about 44k of sysex data but Jsynth is not able to read it with the SID driver, so i thought there were errors during backup.

    My question: has anybody already created more than 128 different patches?
    .

    i would if i could save them. And i would like to store maybe one bankstick in the box (without the stick).

    nice to have you here again.

    Hi,

    i have still some trouble with Jsynth.

    Because Jsynth didn´t work on my Xp machine (the upload always made errors on the ArpSEQ patches) i waited until version 0.18 and know it works with my ibook and OSX but i can not backup the patches.

    The Syx. data is not readable.  I also tried it with SysEx Librarian but there it seems that you need to send the data from the synth manualy. And i didn`t found any funktion in the SID application.

    So i went back to my XP machine and give Midiox a try (send and receive), but here it stops recording after 2000-5000 bytes. Changing the settings not really helped. And when trying Jsynth i can see in the command window that it only sends  F0 00 00 7E 40 00 03 00 F7 when clicking on GET.

    I am still using the very satisfying USB module.

    Can anybody help me? I just want to change the Patches for the 8580 filter and save the whole bankstick.

    Btw. does the Sid support the 24LC512 eeprom or multiple eeproms already?

    thanks.

  15. MIOS komplett mit JDM brennen???

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    hi tscheenz,

    Ich glaube das ist nicht möglich weil der Thorsten Dir das dann umprogramieren müsste und wahrscheinlich gibt es auch noch andere Gründe. Aber wenn Dein JDM Programmer wirklich funktioniert und Deine Hardware korrekt ist, dann brenn den Bootloader drauf und danach mit Midiox (auch hier die richtigen Einstellungen beachten) spielst du MIOS und dann erst die Applikation drauf. Sollte eigentlich gehen und is viel smarter als alles andere.

    Ansonsten warten bis Thorsten wieder da ist (Urlaub) und mal die Daten die in Midiox so vom Core zurückkommen analysieren.

  16. completely new and looking for some guidance

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    hi trav,

    1.  If i go for the smallest, low cost model, what parts do i need, and can i get everything i need in kit for from the smashTV site?

    Don´t think so, you only get the pcb´s. But just PM him to be sure.

    2.  How difficult is it to build this thing?  I've put together a few efx pedals and filters before, and i'm not bad with soldering, I'm just clueless when it comes to playing with burned images and the dsp stuff.

    I can just tell you my experiences. I builded quite a lot analog synths before and after some ususal troubleshooting the SID also worked. The hardest thing was the JDM, PERL and MPLAP and all the Midistuff. But with some patience you will figure out.

    3.  For the header info, if i were to order the kit from smashTV, what would i need for the midibox sid.  All i want to be able to add to it is an LCD (another question, what should i get here) and one of the memory sticks described on the site.

    You get the Eeprom and the Pic at www.microchip.com as free samples. Don´t know about the LCD because sometimes they have other controllers than supportet (maybe someone else can give advice here), but a standard LCD from a decent supplier will work. Look here: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_lcd.html

    Read the main page as often as you can. I am sure all your questions will be answered. The Ucapps stuff is like an adventure game.

    Have fun.

  17. Feedback on Traktor controller

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Posted

    Hi wise,

    thats a great design!!

    I can´t help you with the middle section cause i can´t see the problems. Maybe your are a little bit specific.

    I always wanted to do something similar but feared the complexity of traktor.

    One thing i would definitely consider is the use of encoders and moterfaders. Since it is a lot of work to assemble a thing like that it might be worth the extra price. And potis are limiting to much (traktor is so cool because of its automation).

  18. Logic and the future?

    in Miscellaneous

    Posted

    Hi all,

    just wanted to start this little topic, cause i am going to purchase Logic Express in a few days.

    I suspect that 99,9 percent of this forum users are on the PC side (i don´t want to talk about which OS is better) and we all know that Emagic belongs to mac now (no support for PC´s).

    Since i am a lucky G4 owner, i was asking myself what you guys are planning to do in the future?

    Is there a linux sequencer with all the funktions of Logic in the drawer?

    Or is Cubase a alternative?

    Is the Logic enviroment (one of the reasons i will stick to that app.) exchangeabel?

    I have an old AMD PII laptop for Midiox,Mplap,Eagle,Picburn, but like to do audio stuff on the mac, which works really well.

    What´s your opinion?

  19. power supply for SID

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    Hi perplx

    Ok, this kit would be my first try at electronics

    Since powersupplys are a little bit strange when you have no idea of electronics (at least i hade the feeling when i started), i would just calculate a little bit more time than you would expect. But you will need them if want continue DIYing

    They run at different voltages... Is there some kind of transformer on the PCBs?

    Yes and no. They run at different Voltages but there is no transformer on the PCB´s, there is a bridge rectifier and a voltageregulator on the PCB´s.

    The bridge rectifier is for getting a DC voltage out of a AC voltage (eg. transformer) and the voltage regulator, as the name indicates, sets the voltage to a certain point.

    So as the core needs 5 volt there is a 5 volt regulator on it.

    SID board 12 volt (6581) or 9 volt (8580). The SID board also needs 5 volt which is established trough the connection between core and SID board.

    If you build a SID synthesizer with a 6581 chip i would take a 15-18 volt wall-mart AC or DC powersupply for the SID board and a 7-9 volt AC or DC powersupply for the core.

    Or you take a little bigger (more ampere) 15-18 volt AC or DC powersupply, take the regulated 12 volt from the SID board (after the voltage regulator of course), put them into an other 9 volt regulator (on a little veroboard) and then to the core.

    I did the first method and it works quite well. But the second is also good. One thing i don´t know is which method has lower noise.

    Maybe because thats why Thorsten developed his C64 supply adaption.

    Here you are always save.

    And you can learn the perfect ground managment on Thorsten´s C64 powersupply.

    Hope that helps

    Hey and folks please correct me when i talk nonsense here
