Yeh Flownez thought doing the same trick with the ISA Turtle Beach Pinnacle which basically has a Kurzweil K2000 on it...mmmmmmmm Nomical is also doing something similar with the DB50XG daughterboard. Very cool stuff... Heh, I can see it now... the future... an entirely MIDIBox based studio....ahhh that'd be nice :) I think the only thing that the MIDIBox platform wouldn't be able to help with, is hard disk recording... Anyone got a spare 100 hours they can lend me? ;)

Nice one JimCook! I've been looking for a chip like the ones Atmel make for some time now... I wanted to make a MIOS FX machine, a MIOS Sampler, and a MIOS Mixer... I quickly realised that the sampler would be a waste of time, as there are many perfectly good, and cheap samplers out there, like the akai s2000 for example...they're so cheap now that it's crazy and an s2000 is probably already more than we could do with MIOS (practically anyway). I'd love to put a sampler in the sequencer I'm building, it'd be an MPC killer! :D The FX machine is borderline... There are a few good cheap FX units out there which are cheap and very flexible, and once again not really worth the while. A digitally controlled analog mixer would be sweeeet though... Certainly nothing in that area will be close to the pricerange of a DIY project like MIOS... Another nice toy would be a virtual modular digital synth made with that Atmel chip, like a Nord Modular.... So many ideas... So little time :( How do you do it TK?! ;)

I'll be happy to put that list together if sephult hasn't almost finsihed it already :)

Ahhh you're just trying to push up the number of posts on your profile now ;) hehehehehhehe

Hey CJ Thanks for the idea man. This feature will already be available through the quantizer :) I hope you'll like it ! Cheers

What browser are you using? IE5 and 6 don't do that at all, it's just a image sitting there, no rollover stuff.... At least here they don't... Ahh who cares hehhee

Awwesome! I needed one of these too ;D /edit: So stoked, I forgot to say THANKS! heheh

I find Sony gear to have a pretty heavily coloured sound... Not bad for monitoring levels and as a foldback or whatever but I wouldn't wanna mix anything on them! Anyway I'm on Senn HD25 bins and I love them... Yeh they cost more than anything else on the market but theyre accurate as heck!

Gday Logicat :) I've sent an email off to flownez (also on this board) to ask him if he might know something to help you out, he's better at mac's than I... I wonder... Our PS/2 Mice and USB Mice and Serial Mice, can all have adapters on the end of the cable that makes them work like any of the others... I wonder if you could use a straight cable convertor (no componentry just wires)? Obviously the driver might be the hiccup there...

Wow guys I am behind you all the way on these.. If you need any help let me know :) welcome CEM3340, it'll be nice to have you around 8)

I wonder if it would be possible to make a COM-to-MIDI MIDIBox? I can't imagine it being terribly difficult, MIDI is serial anyway, if the baud rate is the same, it's just a matter of moving a few bits around (pardon the pun)

It's probably just a rotary encoder with a big disk instead of a little knob... a plastic disc and some glue on a normal encoder knob would be a good start if you can't find the real thing...

USB is serial ;)

ahahahahahah ;D ;D ;D

Right above where you read this post, is a little image with "Quote" written on it... That'll automatically put it in, and you can check out the tags... Hope that helps

Good luck Pay_c! Don't worry mate, three weeks from now you'll be on the smelly end of a soldering iron again and it'll feel like you never left :) And plus, you'll have a college education ;D

Just get a el cheapo joystick or some old thing, rip it apart and replace the pots in it with the ones you'd normally use.. Piece of cake :)

toys!! ;D hehehehe

Wow I'm spinning out, I didn't know alesis made a chip available to process ADAT... I was going to buy an analog to ADAT convertor shortly, but if there's a DIY solution, I'd love to hear more... Cheers guys PS Are we too far off topic here?

IR LASER LED's with focussing lenses should do the trick, though it wouldn't be able to be anywhere near the size of JMJ's laser harp due to lack of power... Yeh it is kinda like that, only instead of harp-like "strings", it would be drum-like plates, each defined and separated by the beams of light... Of course this way you could make three-dimensional zones, like invisible boxes, floating in the air which could act as triggers whenever they are entered etc... I just thought of something...A spot of coding could involve moving them around...hmmm..... imagine sitting down to a chess board with little floating boxes of light you could move around as controllers.......

From what I've seen it wouldn't be difficult... I'm heaps interested in this 256 button business of yours :) What's the story?

Like kids in candy stores aren't ya ;) hehehehe

Oh my giddy giddy gosh!!! :o :o :o I wonder if I'm the only one to notice...the combination of these two new features - an analog filter module, and a CV output... The CV out could be used to control the filter module... All MIDI controllable, and LFO's and ENV's would be a piece of cake.... Can anyone say Sherman Filterbank? I am officially droooling ;D Now all we need is a sampler... Don't ask for much do I? heheheh ;)

Hey fellas :) if this comes to fruition, I'd love to include it on my sequencer (really I must think of a name for this thing!)... Actually I've been thinking a little about a device with an array of beams like this, which would allow a grid to float in the air which could be used for traditional stuff like controllers, positioning notes (like a big piano roll in the sky heheh) or for triggering different sounds from different areas (Like air drums)... I also recently saw a new device being made by some university students which used a magnetic array which works like the one I spoke of, with several metallic objects to mark the points... It also had a projector screen relaying info to the operator..nice.. ... But aaaanyway.... :-X ;) If any help is needed or if anyone has some success which they'd like to share, it would be appreciated as always :)

I think that would be a wise bet ;D
