You specify which is bankstick 1 2 and 3 by the way you wire them.. Check out the schematic :) Edit: What SLP said ;)

What do they do? Are there any other things that are not quite right? No matter how small or insignificant they seem, they might give us a hint... Now you know another reason why it's a nice idea to document problems and solutions here or on the wiki.. Sometimes you might be documenting them for yourself ;)

Hehehe you mean it might travel back in time ;) You only have to worry about it coming to life if you use a big, old fashioned, high-voltage lever power switch in your basement while a speech impaired hunchback watches you ;) Edit: You may also need several large Van de Graaf generators driven by the DOUTs

Yeh it's a different crowd these days... IMO the UK government is directly to blame for this... Back in the day, they got a bit dirty about all the illegal parties, and made new legislation which, under the guise of political correctness ("think of the children"), and at the threat of inordinate punishment (fines greater than tax fraud and jail sentences longer than your average rapist), forced the raves from warehouses into nightclubs. No longer was it possible to do the parties on the cheap, and a source of revenue was required in order to balance out the additional costs, not only of the venue itself, but all the additional costs such as insurance... And the source? Why, how convenient, it's right there in the locations deemed legal for raves: The bar. Of course once the UK did it, it was easy (if not encouraged) for everyone to follow. Once upon a time you almost never saw booze at parties, and everyone was nice and totally into the music. Now, the crowds are mostly the same kind of people that were frequenting the bars and nightclubs before electronic music came along. Booze is consumed, guys hit on girls, fights break out, date rape is commonplace... People aren't there for the music, motivated by the culture's different outlook on life - they're there for the social interaction, motivated by interpersonal relations. The rave scene has been gradually assimilated with mainstream barcrawler culture by means of enforcing political correctness with legislation. I hear a LOT of people saying the rave scene is dead now, and I say it died the day that law was passed over a decade ago... It's just taking a long time to fall down. It's very interesting to see tho state of modern warfare and politics in action though. The rave scene was a vanguard of the push for personal liberty in the 90's and under the very guise of providing this liberty - with protection of course - governments around the world have managed to turn a regular festival of peaceloving dancing hippies into a place where you have to be ever vigilant to make sure you don't get your drink spiked and wake up in a strange hotel room or piss off the angry drunk over there and wind up in the Emergency ward. The really scary thing about this is the way it was done, supposedly with the intent of making things safer. The end result says otherwise....

http://gregwaltzer.com/egw/arpeggiators.htm has a nice roundup...

Thanks man I'll check out the MAM box.... The Gecko was Waldorf :) Don't stress mate, just because the seq already does it does not mean that it couldn't be included... I think a chord generator before the arp seems a very sensible idea.

You mean like in seqv3? ;) Check out the file seq_chord.inc. Just a thought... A lot of people would say that Arp-X8 is about the best arp around... I love the one on the k5000... Anyone else know any good ones we can steal draw inspiration from?

Remember me warning you just yesterday about fixing one thing at a time? Now you know why :)

The step A CS is enough to control pretty much anything in theory, but I think it's best to decide upon a featureset before choosing the controls we'll use for those features...

Sorry mate, I meant that you would need to search this forum, not google :) You'll find lots of discussion regarding DMX on the midibox platform.

I'm lost in this kinda thing but the "done thing" seems to be a 7404... Maybe these will help. Maybe they will totally balls the whole thing up ;D http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/trancirc.htm http://www.troikaranch.org/schematic.html http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/midi.shtml http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/labs/lab-midi-other.shtml

Nice :) Feature requests?

I assume you've altered the PIC ID so that it will use the LTC? How do you mean ?

You might want to try one of the test apps for your buttons. One thing at a time is good :) First, fix the core. Then the DIN/DOUTs. Then the FM. You're going about things in a very random manner right now, and I don't think it's helping you too much...

I wouldn't even bother connecting the core until you have confirmed that your midi cable works. Have you tried wiring the out to the in, and sending a note from mios studio? You should receive the same data you send.

Watch out - that's a switching PSU in there, and it's not really suitable for a SID.... But if you're doing it budget style and noise is OK with you.... Then I think you're right, that's the cheapest SID around :)

Well they have different functions. The .inc file, defines the way that your components are electrically connected, IE there is an encoder connected to pin X. No midi is involved at this point. The .ini file, defines which midi messages should be sent by that hardware. So they both work together, rather than one of them "winning" :)

Hey Mischa, Thanks for collecting up the links for us... I think you'll find a lot of info on this if you search for DMX :)

I'll leave the analog bits to you and then help nick the scale engine :)

Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post. ...because bill said it :) My personal opinion? No way. Writing C code for the midibox is so easy I still spin out at it from time to time. If you just wanted a joystick sending a CC it would probably be a couple of dozen lines of code at the max, with the joystick pots and buttons connected to a single core, no LCD or anything. In fact you could probably make the whole thing fit in the joystick case. TK has been very good to us :) Of course if you have a a USB or gameport joystick and don't need a standalone device you could always use something like vmidijoy...

Does it boot just MIOS, no FM application OK?

Here ya go, get it from the MMA schematic - straight from the horses mouth ;) http://www.midi.org/about-midi/electrical.shtml

Hmm you've got two conflicting sets of pinouts there bro...

Heh yeh I've got a lot of projects on the boiler... But there are quite a few people keen on these things as you can see.... midibox_3396 CEM3396 ? CEM3396 Midibox I think the best idea I've seen for implementing these is to base the code around the MBSID, so naturally I'm awaiting v2 before I start taking these too seriously...

I assume that your controllers do not have MIDI Inputs? Normally you would put them in a chain like so: Controller 1 Out ------ In Controller 2 Out --- Rack Anyway the Y adapter would have to be a midi merger. Hope that helps!
