Hi everybody! I'm working in my midibox but it isn´t finalized yet! My design use a IR sensor like D-Beam. I want to use a Sharp GP2D12. I will do lots of experiments for you. I hope I help you! Ciao!

Thank you for your advices, Thorsten! I will add buttons for control lcd and aplications. And I will re-design the box to add 7 segment dysplays. I will come back soon.... ;)

Hi everybody! Hi Thorsten... my god!!! This is my design for midibox. I want to control Reason and Samplitude software. It has 32 pots for EQ, Send, Filter, etc; 32 Push-buttons with 32 Leds (Digikeys components) for Solo and Mute; 16 faders for track's volume; 5 Push-button with light (like games machines) for transport (PLAY, REC, Etc...) and a sensor based in Sharp GP2D12. Of course, it has LCD. My questions are... 1.- How many buttons need I to control the LCD? Manual says 3 to move and one to snap but I don't think sure! 2.- I want to add a 7 segment led display for MTC or SMPTE (eight modules 00:00:00:00)? Have I to change the firmware (Midibox64 2.0v)? Have I to programmer a new MIOS aplication? In that case, How are they connected to DOUT module? 3.- Did I forget anything else? If you think I must add more buttons or more pots, please, let me know your comments! NOTES: I've got the pcb's of SmashTV: 1 core module (ready for MIOS!), 2 DIN, 2 DOUT and 2 AIN modules. Thank you for your answer! Thank you for this DIY project, Thorsten!!!! Sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish!

Otro Midibox español!!! Te felicito. Yo llevo ya un año intentando terminarlo. Tengo todos los componentes sobre mi mesa pero muy poco tiempo. En fin, espero acabarlo antes del 2010 para cuando la midibox sea una "reliquia" ;) . Ya tengo acabadas las PCB's que pedí a SmashTV. ahora solo me queda el exterior. Le temo a los faders!!!! Se que será un duro trabajo.... Bueno espero ver pronto las fotos de tu criatura. Ya sabes que sería de muy mal gusto no complacer a Thorsten con su galería. Un saludo!!!

It's a spectacular design :o .Incredible!! Axel has done a good job!! I'd like to know where did you buy the transport buttons? Are they iluminatted? with led's? Thank you very much! Sorry for my english... I'm spanish!

Pues eso, que Amando es el unico que parece que ha echo el Midibox de T.K. y animo a todos que lo hagan. Yo estoy en fase de producción. Tengo casi todos los componentes comprados, las PCB's e incluso el frontal de mi Midibox. Por comentar algo y animar a los españoles que esten viendo este foro decirles que venga!!! Que es alucinante las cosas que podrás hacer con el. Yo estoy deseando terminar para poder demostrar que soy un midiboxero también!!! Mi Midibox tendrá la novedad de llevar un IR-EYE, o sea, un receptor IR (SHARP GP2D12) que convertirá los movimientos aereos de mi mano en señales digitales. Mola eh!!! Bueno. Os tendré informado. Sobre todo a Amando. Un saludo picha! Desde Jerez y pa to er mundo!

Hi! Everybody! I'm going to construct the midibox64 but i'm thinking about design of case and extensions. I have seen this page with a 'modern' midi controller with extensions: http://www.infusionsystems.com/index.shtml. Is a great idea for the midibox but the equipment is very bad compared with the Thorsten Klose's design; I love midibox!!! "Thorsten eres el mejor". One of extensions is "reachclose"; a distance measurement by ir of Sharp (GP2D12) I've got one of these. There are good ideas for complete the design of midibox in that page. See it!! In a few days Thorsten will have news of mine and my midibox!! See you! Un saludo a Amando! Wancho
