Oh no, well... maybe... Don't take it to mean that my ignorance means it doesn't exist... I was trying to say I don't have a clue ;) Consult the ucapps page mate.

Oh yeh I guess we need to post when we start doing longer editng sessions (like this one.. 4 pages of changes, so far!) so that we don't accidentaly end up editing in the same place (collision bad!) So, I'm starting at the top. I'll be moving down until... when i pass out again. heheh. I would totally give a big ass cookie to anyone game to move the pga and pedal_box into :home:project:*, because TBH I can't be fucked starting those, I've done too many edits to take on a monster like that, at least for today. (it's the images that's gonna be time consuming)

Sasha has hookups ;) Yeh this method of case construction (the sandwich case) is really attractive. It looks cool, does the job, and is cheap as.

FWIW I hate chrome/alum/metal cases. Get filthy.

Honestly I didn't even know that MB64 passed LCD commands to the 2nd core via MB-Link :) Maybe someone who's made an MB64 like yours can help.

Wiki overhaul progress Check it out. I'm pretty sure the layout is all sorted now, so I think we can pretty much move in there and just start plugging away at it.

Ahh sweet. I was trying to find out how to do this, here we have an easy way to deal with what pages have been done or not. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?do=index&id=home This shows a list of all pages. All we have to do, is work through them all, top to bottom. When we get to the bottom, we're done. Just post in here when you have finished making changes, saying what level you're up to. only ~700 pages to go.............................. :o

Hahah strangely, my kitchen is next on my to-do list :D

In a rush: No harm would be done there. There are local dudes who can help with burning PICs ;) but seriously, just get a JDM when you order them from smash. He's cheaper, even with shipping

It's all love yo. Just, be nice ;)

Thanks for the input man. I see your point... I'm not sure why it was originally conceived this way, but I do think it's a fairly good idea, because well.... We're volunteers, working to a short and loose timeframe... Once we start, we may be very busy for a while, and that would leave the wiki in a strange state, waiting for our return. Who knows, we may not ever finish (unlikely but possible) and then the wiki would be totally trashed :/ I think this way is the safest... The problem with a redirect, aside from breaking this "leave the existing wiki in place until the new one is all finished" approach, is that in some areas the info on one old page will be spread across a few new pages.... Anyway, I passed out. It was late, OK? ;) I'm back into it now. hhehehe

Seems to me that your english and your troubleshooting are quite effective ;) Good luck!

Yeh it's like that. Hard to explain, but you know it when you hear it ;)

Sorry, I assumed it was a SmashTV core for some reason :-[ Are you using midi-ox for the modwheel messages? There's a bug in mios studio... It's possible that you've somehow fried that pin. It's also possible that the line is shorted somewhere and pulling it low. Actually maybe even both. There's a quick and annoying way to find out. Grab your meter, and put it on a continuity test. A beeper is good if you've got one, but not a must. Stick a thin wire in the pic socket and alligator clip the meter to it, so you can filp the board over. Then just touch each pin on the board. Because nothing else should be connected to it, you shouldn't measure continuity with any other traces. If it beeps, you've got a short. If not, you might like to try burning the PIC again, re-upping MIOS and your app, and perhaps trying another PIc if you have one. Sounds tedious, but it'll only take like 20 minutes :)

Oh and guys, two things that' I've so far spent over two hours cleaning up: Headers: USE the H1 header throughout the pages. Trust me, it's easier to add lower layers, that redo a whole page's headers later. wikify pages: Make sure you update the templates FIRST, THEN change the stuff in :home to reflect it. There are afew spots where the template doesn't match the real thing already.

I'm going a bit crazy on the wiki tonight. Should be some changes done within the next few hours. We *really* need to get on top of a way to flag the old pages when we have migrated their content to the new pages. If noone has any ideas, I'm just going to start flagging them with a comment up the top.

I agree. The matrix implementation is sensible in the case of a keyboard (even this specialised one) and is easily adaptable to other hardware, including non-velocity-sensing hardware like the C64 keys...

It's just a figure of speech, not meant literally, just is another way to say "it costs a lot more"... Yaknow like as in "My wife is gonna kill me" ;) I use a digi mixer too, a behringer ddx3216 stuffed with two adat cards running to a pair of ada8000s and a creamware a16, and lightpipe to a gina24 to hard disk record the submixes. Of course I prefer the sound of analog mixers, but i have a pretty strict "i gotta be able to control it by midi" rule in my studio ...hence all the IO... i still have to patch manually though, which is balls. That's why I've been working on the switch matrix prject with tilted and co. I have some money put aside and if I manage to get a job you can expect to see that in action fairly soon. The control and flexibility that comes with replacing cables with bits is way nice. To me, the preference is for digitally controlled analog mixing, so you get the sound and the control...but until very recently, that's been in the next 10*price bracket ;) Thanks to TK and LH and all, that has recently changed, and I'm among a few people going all-out on large mb-mixer based designs. It's gonna take a lot of time and hard work, and there's still a lot of money involved, but it's more in the low end of the digi mixer price backet, than the soundcraft end... but you get soundcraft-quality sound. :) So, that's just to let you know, that I feel where you're coming from. Buuut I was not always so fortunate to have that kind of gear at my disposal, it's literally taken a great deal of blood sweat and tears to earn it all. Earlier on, I wanted a setup like the one I have now, but I was really strapped for cash, and I was using chains of 2nd hand budget DJ-style mixers worth about $20 a pop. They were chained into a couple of AWE64s I scored for free. For a long time I saved and then sufficed with a behringer 2004. When I finally had it, I followed it up with the gina (older model than I have now). That was a rad setup, to me. These days if I were on a similar budget, the money saved by buying one of these soundcard+mixer combined devices would be a solid seller for me. I still would lust after an 01v, but that doesn't mean it's going to join my price bracket. Just to get what I had damned-near killed me (and I do mean that literally)

Nice!

They're exactly the same thing as an analog desk with a soundcard in the PC... Because it costs about 10 times as much? It's a totally different product and audience really... Totally totally totally. We were talking about this in the chatroom a while back and I was trying to explain why I do several recordings; one at the highest rate possible (and that's where I do the mix and master if it's ITB) then re-record it to match the various target media. Takes a while but sounds better.

Good work man... Try removing the DIN boards, so it's just the core, nothing else, and testing the pin on the PIC (Pin 21), and then moving out from there... It's not really a short track at all, it goes all the way around J10, not to mention the cable and the DIN modules... And it's pretty common to short it on the socket, or even to have overheated the socket and caused the pin to be loose so there's no connection. Good luck!

It's entirely possible that you damaged the ICs with the last board.... Maybe grab a few new ones.

Nice :) I've done that with a socket too. The one tha took a long time to find the problem was when I did the chip AND the socket. :-[

If that's enough to make you stupid, I must be stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppppid

I split this off, because it was a reply to a thread two years old. Perhaps you could post another pic of your board, now that it's been re-done, so we can check the soldering again.
