Nope, I already soldered them. If you solder those three pins *and* those two "stabilizing - or whatever" pins the pot´s really dammit stable! I do like this version much more than the "screw-it-to-the-frontplate" version!

;) ;D

:o TK! Could this by a solution for my problem, too? (You still remember? The master totally weird, the Slaves like slowly changing patches and so on) Could be it, couldn´t it? (This would be so... sooo.... hooooray like!)

I think I got those on ebay (they do really look all the same). I got 70 of those for 8 Euros, so the price would be about the same (for ebay). I didn´t build them into any app up to now (they were planned to go into a MBSeq up until the new Control Surface), so I don´t know how they will work in hard musician every day life, but: They have a pretty good feel (nearly no hangs and so on). They´re lighter to move than the big ones (like those 6mm ones at Reichelt), so also very cool. As you don´t screw them to the frontplate, they won´t get stuck there - big advantage. The shaft is cool. No screwing around for those knobs. Just putting them right on there. Only disadvantage I got to work out with: Those three pins are NOT 2,54 mm (0,1 inch) compatible. Theyre something like 7,62mm between the outer left and outer right pin. So you have to drill the breadboard in the middle of the outer two pins. That´s all I know up to now. I would recommend those. But I can´t 100%ly. Like I said, I could only test those physically, not electronically. Greets!

Dann besorg ich mir lieber mal 6. 8) Die Vorfreude auf den Seq erreicht einfach kein Plateu... wird heftiger und heftiger... (Am Schluss haben wir einen integrierten LC + MB64E + Seq + (!!) SID + (nicht zu vergessen) nem MBTV - ;) ) TK, ich könnt dich :-* wenns nich so verdammt schwul wäre! ;D

Normally you don´t have to take it down anyhow. The flux does make resistances between gaps, but they´re so dammit high that they normally dont count. *IF* (IF!!) you should have problems with that anyhow (never heard of that) use Aceton. But don´t go now and buy Acetone, just get the nailcolor cleaner from your girlfriend (or your mom or whoever) and clean it with that - nearly the same stuff much cheaper and with a nice smell... ;)

If you use those in the MB64, they´re also already stated in VMidibox, ready to be setup & uploaded.

Edit by me: " ... try the mb 64 seq before you will absolutely certainly - because it´s hell of fun to build and play it - deside to build ... ... " ;D ;) :D

Resistors: I think you meant 0,5 W not 0,5 V. Already 0,25 W are absolutely enough for all MB stuff. There isn´t much power draining stuff there (the highest are the LEDs with appr. 0,02 A * 5V = 0,1W and the backlight of the LCD - which is run over potentiometers). Recitifer: It *is* stated: Needed recitifer: B40C800 (little round one - you can see it on the Core-Pic). 40 means 40V max and 800 means 800 mA max. PIC: Get your first PICs (the 18F ones!! the 16F ones are nearly outdated) directly at microchips site. http://www.microchip.com/1010/index.htm There go under sample Microchip. The rest should be clear. This way you get the first 3 18Fs for free! For details about sampling search the forum (again ;) ) Greetz & a big welcome to UCApps family!! ;D

Isn´t just an AIN reqired? The rest could be done by code: A certain voltage must be achieved to send a Note on/off and the max voltage for the velocity. No DIN required... or? ???

Sach mal TK, heißt das jetzt, das der neue Sequencer (mit der neuen CS) gleichzeitig ein MB64Seq *und* ein Pseudo MB16E ist? ! ? Einfach nur in der Bank richtig abspeichern (dann bräucht ich einige Banksticks mehr...) Das wärs ja! Boah... :o

Nope, sorry to dissapoint you: I talked about switching the banks of the bankstick. E.G.: You have 64 Pots. 16 of them are assigned to a specific channel (like eq section & send effects). So in Bank 1 (of the MB Bankstick) there would be place for channel 1 - 4. Per pushing the button, which sends the META Event for banking up (in the MB) you select the next bank. When this is assigned to channel 5-8, you have something similar like you thought, but not quite the same. I really do think Rowans solution is one of the best ones (will use that one, too). @ Rowan: Why don´t you send your generic remote setup to TK or to Poeleq so we all can use that in no time? Would be cool.

:o *nächstesMalMaulhaltenModusangeschaltet* ;D

TK: Still remember my problem? As it´s only dedicated to the Master Slave (where the MIDI Out is on), could that be a reason with my setup, too? Or also that EMC thing coming on those cables? Greetz

Cool, thnx also from me for that one, Rowan! Didn´t know that! :)

First: :o :o Cool studio. Are these 4 Korgs the only ones or has he even more of those? ? ? And: Is that his bed or is it a mixing console? Must be damn comfortable... OK, enough for that. Great news about that DOUT. Thats now the third piece I *have* to built in my spare time (especially now that I know its working better than the Doepfer one...). :D

Cool, I will think about that vocoder (I already have all schematics, so no need to send me anything). :D Having to less time!!! ;D For that new problem: That could be some grounding or power supply problem (try to use shielded cables for connecting the slaves to the master MIDI Out - worked out well for me and rather use TK´s PSU recylce - works great!). Why it does not make sqeezing sounds: There is nearly *NO* Midi device that forwards active sensing messages (makes absolutely no sense) - could be reason one. And (more like it) the MIDI In / Out schematic of the MB64 is a high quality one - many companies try to save money there - TK doesn´t. For that active sensing stuff, let´s wait for TK´s answers... TK?? ;D

Ahh, now I understand what you meant... but just no idea... (sorry!) I even dont know if Cubase would support something like this (also this would be veryvery cool indeed).

The Vocoder?? Cool. Just away from the topic for miles, but anyway: Hard to build? Worth it? Some schematics (beside the Elektor ones)? Cool... :D

everyday ;D

*Also a proud MSS2000 - owner / builder * (check the latest Midibox of the week - on the third pic you can see it in the background of the SID). Handshake!! ;D (Dammit this baby is making cool bass sounds if you connect it correctly). I didn´t mean the connection from the keyboard to the SID, I meant connecting the keyboard first to a MIDI Interface (like the USB device of UCApps or some MIDISport from MIDIMAN or whatever) and connecting the SID to that MIDI Interface, too. Then using Cubase or whatever to play the SID that way. If both Yamahas are causing the same prob, it should be the active sensing mesage. You can´t filter that out so easily. The only thing I can recommend is the MIDI Interface thing from above. This way the active sensing messages are filtered out. Perhaps TK can bring some light into this one.

Evtl. wäre SmashTV für dich ne Alternative: Der bietet komplette Bausätze an. Wohnt halt leider nur in den USA. Ansonsten kann ich nur folgende Kombi empfehlen: Über Mike die PCBs und über Reichelt die Bauteile (www.reichelt.de). Die haben zwar ins Ausland einen 50.- Eu Mindestbestellwert, aber 1. hast du die 50 Eu sowas von schnell zusammen, 2. sind die immer noch einer der billigsten Anbieter für Bastler wie uns und 3. gibts dafür ja schon die kompletten Bestellisten auf UCApps.de Die ersten PICs würde ich mir auf jeden Fall per Sample direkt bei Microchip holen (auch wenn du dir dann nen JDM selbst basteln musst, kommst du auf jeden billiger wech). Tim ist türlich auch ne Alternative (fertige PICs). Den JDM Programmer braucht man nur zum Brennen des Bootstrap Loaders. Da der permanent drauf bleibt und in absehbarer Zeit auch nicht geupdated wird, ist der also nicht unbedingt nötig. Den Rest (MIOS + App) erledigst du nämlich über die MIDI Leitung. Gruß pay.c PS: Englischer Topic ? ;D ;) PS Nr.2: WILLKOMMEN in der UCApps Famlily!! Viel Glück & Spaß beim basteln!!! :D

Nö, geht leider nicht. Sind zwei ziemlich unterschiedliche Firmwares. Workaround: Zwei PICs verwenden (und unterschiedliche Banksticks) um von der einen Firmware schnell auf die andere zu wechseln. Z.B. mit nem Nullkraftsockel oder per 40 pol Jumperleiste (hat ich auch mal in Gedanken). Mit der neuen Control Surface für die MB64Seq hat sich das Thema für mich aber eigentlich erledigt. ;D

Auf jeden Fall freu ich mich schon auf deine Fotos. Bis denne dann!

That active sensing is just a message from your keyboard to say: "Hi I´m still here" It´s just used to let the computer (or anything else) know, that the keyboard is still there. If it´s deconnected, the comp (or what the hell) knows, somethings wrong. Thats all for active sensing. Because of that I´m pretty sure, it shouldn´t be the reason for those tones. Perhaps it´s a bad MIDI Out of that keyboard. To go sure, use a MIDI Interface (e.g. keyboard at MIDI In A and SID at MIDI Out B or however). TK? Active Sensing making weird sounds??
