Heyho! Hat jemand nö Ahnung wo ich (billig ;D) Potiknöpfe für abgeflachte 6mm Achsen herkrieg? Hab schon gegooglet und die Standardsachen durchsucht (sprich Reichelt, schuricht, Conrad ...) aber alle haben nur die (teureren) Knöpfe mit Spannzange oder Madenschraube. Ebay ist auch nix zur Zeit... Hoffentlich hat da jemand was... :P

I just can repeat myself over and over: Crazy people around here... ;D ;)

Just be a little more patient. I think there will be something for you on the portal the next days/weeks. Although you can already start with soldering the PCBs and getting the first parts (motorfaders and so on). Check the FAQ on UCApps for that stuff. When youve done that, I do think there will be some more info about that already.

I know this could be stupid to say, but I´ll do it: You did change the voltage regulator, did you? (6581: 12V, 8580: 9V)

Yeah, that´s what I meant said much more shortly! ;D

The touchsensitivity is there to stop the motor and let you move it to other postitions (so you can do that in the middle of a recording and delete the old automation). Because of that: There's one switch for each Fader (otherwise it would be stupid - you never would be able to only stop one fader). Instead of a footswitch you also can only use a small metall plate to induce touchsensitivity (just touch the metall plate and simultaniously move the fader). I wouldn´t recommend 8 foot switches under your table... ;)

Cool, big thnx Smash. But anyhow: How much (just with a big ABOUT) can/want/will you spend on such a huge project? (starting point and some high-end end poit) /edit: and if you can put a photo of your thing here! ;D

I still do have the same probs like LO on WinXP computers. I´ll try my luck on a friend´s computer (she has Win98 but she doesn´t know if she has USB plugs :D :-X 8) -whatever).

Err, btw: How do you put a digital out to the SID (is there some other one chip solution?)? Would be interesting anyhow, also for other components (imagine a 4 time analog to digital out converter or so).

Just crazy people around here ;D ;) ;D ;D :o :P 8) ;D

Really cool up to now! Respect from this side for that! :D

Thats not a problem - its normal. Thats just some data sent by your Keyboard to say "I´m here!!". If the MIDI cable is disconnected due to some error all attached devices know that something is not OK. Cubase and some Synths (and also MIDIOX) just filter this info out and because of that you dont see it. Try attaching something else to that MIDI In (like a MB64 ;D ) without that info and you´ll see the LEDs are stopping to flash. It has nothing to do with your MIDI Interface, it´s just your keyboard. Everything OK.

I think the 1st way is the one to go. You will handle the bankstick as a fourth one. Easy. The other solution (just put it parallel there if I understood you) will certainly bring up problems! You have 2 banksticks in *parallel* which is absolutely not good. I would say this wont work at all.

just btw: I found the shop I was talking about. Heres the direct link to their LCDs: http://shop.tronico.net/deutsch/pi1055015469.htm?categoryId=3 But I was shocked: They went up with the prices a good step! 17 Euros for one Display. Way to much if you look at Ebay and so on... *sigh* they once were good...

As there is a AOUT in planning/construction this should be easily possible in the future. In the moment the contrast is only available over the pot. Greets

Countdown! ;D

GROßES DAUMENDRÜCKEN meinerseits! Hab früher auch sehr viel auf Lochraster/Streifenraster gemacht. Allerdings ist die Fehlerhäufigkeit wirklich sehr hoch im Vergleich zu einer geätzten Platine. Mach das lieber nur wirklich so, wenn du dich einigermaßen mit Elektronik auskennst und weißt, wo du was messen musst um zu wissen, wo der Fehler liegt. Vielleicht noch ein ganz anderer Weg (machen hier auch einige): Wenn schon nicht selbst die ganze Schaltung auf Lochraster machen, dann eben die geätzten Platinen selber machen! ;)

I would delete this message if I were you... talking about cracking in an open forum with your IP and everything... I dont know.... ::) but anyway: Yeah, you really gotta fight with that 80x100 limitation. Shitty... :P

Cool, thnx for that one!

Yes, u need all those modules. First the JDM naturally. There is a analog out in planning by TK, but I dont know when its coming. I would rather build the SID and the Sequencer seperated. Its just one MIDI cable between them and this way u can also plug all that stuff to other Sequencers/Synthis. Microchip: Just go on their site, register and go to Samples section. You dont have to be a cmpany, also there is some comapny name required. Just type in your name - or whatever - there again, its gonna be OK. btw: Welcome to the fast growing MBHP crew! Have fun!

If it needs an EL Inverter its definitely shitty. Extra work, extra money. And if its to cheap you hardly can read your stuff. As stated before: Ebay! Also the LCDs at Reichelt (reichelt.de) are really good (theyre from Displaytech) but also a little more expensive. There once was a post about a good supplier of LCDs (also a few ones with e.g red backlight, inverted display) and it was really cheap, too. But I forgot its name. Just search for "LCD" in this forum and youll eventually find it.

??? It worked under XP? Weird... Gotta try that again. Perhaps on another computer... That with MIOS: YES!!! Really really cool news again, TK.

The same prob at my house: The device is not recognized by WinXP nor by Win2000. Better said: It is recognized&installed, but the driver does not work (Win does not install it - something missing?). So the EZ Manager does not get connection to the device. I dont think that I soldered anything wrong (I also have experiences with SMD soldering). All LEDs are coming up normal, the USB conn works fine and so on. I do think its a software prob as stated above. As I dont have access to a Win98 PC to burn the EEPROM, what can I do? btw: Isnt that funny? That thing can only be programmed under Win98 (or others), but wont run on that OS. On the other hand it will run under Win2k/XP but there you cant burn it! ... weird ... :P ::)

I checked and rechecked the PDFs/my soldering: It's really inconsistent. The first two errors are stated above (DOUT). Here are the last errors I found: -DOUT: The Mod buttons connected to the last DOUT (the one is only one chip) are false: They have to begin on the IC before (there are 3 free jumpers there. Beginning from the Mod Filter and going to the left it has to go on like that: Mod E1, Mod E2, Mod L1. Then the last IC comes (the DOUT1 to the right) beginning on the lower jumper, left pin: Mod L2,...,...,Mod L5. At last the upper row, only the right pin: Mod L6. Speaking in shift registers (I hope thats right): You have to move all Mod E1 to Mod L6 Pins down by three pins. So the upper row of the last IC has three free pins (the middle ones). Greets, pay.c

As i said: They are perfect Nat! The CS is already working and so are the encoders! Very glad pay.c in fornt of you! ;D
