Thanks TK! (and Jess)(and Rio) ;)

check out the wiki and ucapps.de and look at the MB64 or MB64e applications, that's the best way to explain it.

True, but those LED's have software controlled dimming!

*slaps himself* I should've searched your previous posts :) http://www.suckow.de/ralf/ledmatrix4x20/index.html Thanks!!

In short: use MB64e.

Oh yeh don't forget about power. There are other threads that have covered this topic, search around for 'guitar' and 'midi cable power' and stuff....

Wow that's awesome! Just think, a few (10) years from now, you'll be able to download and print a midibox. I love 3d printing :)

Yep :) RIP Stevie...

Electric guitars have cavities in the back, it would be just a matter of using a screwdriver and socket wrench to move the device from one guitar to another.

That's really sad. I imagine that would have been intensely frustrating for you.... :( The shame about this is, that it's yet another example of the church not knowing enough about the subject they're supposed to be teaching the parishioners. At least historically speaking, the lengths of the pipes and the corresponding wavelengths of oscillating air pressures and the interrelationships and ratios between the harmonies that they create are all engineered in replication of (or as inspired by) God's design of the universe. The church clearly went to some effort to destroy that form of worship ::) I don't claim to be a good christian or anything but I'm not teaching it either ;) That's because they haven't learned the difference. It's a fine line between singing hymns and karaoke ;)

Holy crap dude that's a monster!! :D I'm really interested in your RGB LED driver, is there any chance of you sharing that? I've got 150 of those things here and I was planning on writing a driver later on when I get to the CS....

a) Easy, expensive b) Easy, cheap c) Will take you many months of programming and lots of effort in prototyping and testing, and probably a sizable sum of $ on spare parts. Take option B mate. I don't think you realise just how hard option C is.

@modularcomplex: Your tests seem to be clipping which will make them inaccurate. you may want to try again with more headroom. Ceramic caps won't be as accurate due to inconsistencies that come from the higher tolerance. Sorry for the english! I just didnt want you to rely on those waveforms if they are bad data :)

Check out the MB64 or MB64e and meta events :)

You guys do realise that that's only the IC that drives the slider, but not the slider itself?

(or am I the only one who remembers that? ;))

That's the one I was referring to: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=2517.msg16679#msg16679 I've often wondered why nobody ever airbrushes panels? It would be pretty much like silkscreening, but the tricky bit is the screen/stencil...how are you supposed to make those things?

killer. I'm running out of new ways to say how impressive it all is ;)

Hey congratulations Dad!!

Just mention ammo cases and watch the junglists crawl out of the woodwork ;) I'd dig a case made out of this stuff: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aluminium-Tread-Chequer-Plate-600mm-x-400mm-X-2mm_W0QQitemZ7605100464QQcategoryZ98641QQcmdZViewItem

'course if money is a concern then polystyrene might be a bad call ;) www.rsaustralia.com is where I got mine from for AUD$0.65c, which is less than 50c USD.

An interesting concept for sure. Especially that schematic page for connecting it to a PC and using that control software....Cheap hardware monosynths for the masses eh ;) I don't know a lot about speech synthesisers, do you guys think that it compares to the speakjet, as far as speech is concerned? Considering that it's a PIC18F not entirely unlike the core module's which costs about $10, you're only paying about $15 a chip for the development, I think it's a pretty reasonable price for what you get (well, open source would be nice ;) ), but still a shame that we would be paying for development of the PC control software that we'd never use.... Although, I would love to see a few of these chained up to a crappy old PC. A ye-olde Pentium MMX on a small form factor motherboard, running vanilla Win98SE or win2k with this software, a generous handful of these chips, and a el-cheapo old 14" touchscreen, could all go in an average mixer-sized case and make for a pretty kickass hardware synth. Normally I would never put the words "PC" "synth" and "kickass" in the same sentence, because PC's (and macs, I'm not biased) are shit for making music because they crash.... But that said, vanilla windoze with no other apps (but patched up of course) is pretty darn stable.... The app is a pretty straightforward exe to send data via a com port I'm looking at that architecture and I'm thinking 'drum synth'.... could rock, it'll be interesting to see if the envelopes are fast enough. I wanna know what's up with those mystery pins :) Q? Sounding? Why an input for OSC1 and an output for OSC2? Is that the waveform or the frequency or what? And the mention of wavetables in the tutorial too, are they going to include it later or not? Hmmm It being firmware on a PIC, they might do upgrades or mods too... Who knows... It's certainly got me thinking ;)

Actually I noticed last week that there is a bit of a shortcoming in documentation for newbies... All of the parts lists mention the cap and resistor values, but not types/tolerances. I was able to figure out what was required but I've been hanging around here for years. I wouldn't wanna be new to all this! Might be worth noting for you uber clever hardware developer types :)

D'n'B != jungle :(
