Thats cool, thnx.

See this topic: http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=concepts;action=display;num=1055762821;start=15 The second post of TK on the second page. from TK: Rowan: I got the knobs from TzanhZsu, he made a special deal with Waldorf (the makers of the Q synth). Thanks again to Tzz btw.!

How do you give those 3 devices different names? Or is that automatically done by Windows? Is it just "Audiogerät [number]" ? How can you differ between them?
-
Well, it will be very hard to mount them to the frontplate and the knobs available for those things are really small. And they are not very robust... sorry to tell you, but for an MB theyre pretty useless... Just look at the picture of the pots at my ebay post and then at the picture of those you ordered (I hope you have one), then everything will be clear to you.

Auf die Microchip Homepage gehen (microchip.com), da dann registrieren. Anschließend auf Samples gehen (irgendwo ein Menupunkt) und dort die benötigten Bauteile bestellen (umsonst!!!). Im Forum sind dazu auch schon einige Threads offen, einfach mal danach suchen. So spart man sich locker 50 Euro oder mehr (kommt drauf an, was man braucht und wieviel man bestellt)! Danke an Microchip!! Echt cool.

a) Also ne MB64 mit 64 Pots und 32 Knöpfen hab ich gebastelt. Bisher so ca. 200-300 Euro ausgegeben. Hab aber ziemlich viel selbst gebastelt (Frontplatte, Gehäuse, Netzteil). Ziemlich sparen kannst du, indem du dir Einiges bei Ebay holst (vor allem billige Pots & Knöpfe gibts da, LCDs manchmal auch) und dir von Microchip die PICs als Samples holst. b) Puh, naja, wie schon gesagt: Gehäuse und Frontplatte selbst machen - das zieht ziemlich rein. Ich kann jetzt schlecht Stunden angeben, aber ich hock jetzt seit 4 Monaten dran. Allerdings bin ich viel zu selten dazu gekommen und mir ist in der Mitte auch mal das Geld ausgegangen, also kein sehr objektives Urteil (!!)... c) Nich so, hab schon einigermaßen Erfahrung und ging deshalb relativ easy von der Hand. Die Page ist supi und das Forum auch, deswegen auch keine Probleme beim Troubleshooting. Bilder kommen im August! (ENDLICH hoff ich mal)...

OK, here I go: - The Controls are all accessable over MIDI, read the CC table for details (meaning what control number controls what parameter), only the wavetable setting can only be set via JSynth - The bankstick can naturally be used without an LCD, its just there to save the presets. Patches can be changed via Programm Change (via MIDI again) You should use Jsynth anyhow, because saving patches only via MIDI is a little hard (you have to do Dump Requests and so on). Via Jsynth you can easily move from one patch to another, save all, load all and can edit the wavetables. I dont know what you mean by "what I have to include in the email to get the chips", but if you mean some kind of DIY-kit, you should perhaps talk to SmashTV. I think he is in that (could be...). But anyhow: Its DIY, so Kits are not available from the main page... btw: There is no difference between "our" MIDI-Controllers and commercial ones... OK, perhaps our´s are damn cooler and better and... ;D ... cuse me... The MBHP in common is built up kinda modular, so if you want to build more stuff to that config, it´s not a big thing. OK, so much for the moment. Hope I at last could help you anyhow... :)

Well, I think you should start reading about the SID on UCApps.de The most of your questions are all answered there, you know? If you read through the article of the SID (there is also something about the minimal config and bankstick stuff), you won´t have much questions left of those up there. I know this answer is not quite that what you expected, but please understand that I dont want to write all down, what is already stated very well on the main page.

Cool, the encoders are finally on their way to their new MBHP home! Welcome Encoders, have a good (LC or SID or MB16E or whatever) time at our place! *looking forward*
-
Errr, wait a moment, I was talking about Pots, not Trimmers. The Trimmer are much smaller than the pots. That what you put on the frontplate are pots. That what you solder on the PCBs are Trimmer (also called Trimmer-Pots). Normal pots normally cost ,50 to 1 Euro each.
-
Yes, and since you regulate down to 9V, you can also use a 12V supply (500mA). The 7809 (or other 780... types) always need at least 2V - 2,5V more supply voltage than they´re regulating to.
-
But 0,40 isn´t a bad price, too. How did you get that price?
-
Hi, for everyone, who is looking for cheap pots: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3036914681&category=12078 Also the sending costs a little, its an unbeatable price for pots. And if youre looking for fitting knobs, ask Jeriko1, he is selling them for an great price, too. Just to let everybody know. I don´t need anymore pots, otherwise I would´ve got them for me.
-
Ebay? ;D
-
If you have great luck, you can find one on ebay sometimes (not so often anyhow). The price at Reichelt for a normal 240x64 display (107/108) is 66 Euros.
-
Soweit ich weiß ist der PIC18 kompatibel zum PIC16. Du kannst also einfach die alte Firmware verwenden. Aber zur Sicherheit nochmal TK fragen... /edit: Oder halt einfach mal ausprobieren... kaputt gehen kann ja nix... ;D
-
Yes, it should be. The only thing you have to look at, if youre buying or sampling the PICs, is the package (should be DIL or DIP). The rest is not so important.
-
Das einzige, was mir mal bei Reichelt passiert ist, daß sie mir aus Versehen zuviel mitgeschickt haben... ;D
-
@domas: So, why dont you get them for us? ;D
-
@Nova: Nö, nicht unbedingt Qualität, aber jetzt ohne Mist, die Dinger konntest du als Stopper für Autos verwenden. Gehakt ohne Ende. Das ist ja auch nicht *der* Grund, warum ich von Conrad abrate, oder findest du Conrad so gut? ;D ;) Das mit ALPS ist ja auch klar, aber 24 Euro für einen ALPS Fader ist auch das absolute High-End, musst schon zugeben. Den PIC 18 gibts bei Reichelt auch nicht, aber dafür *umsonst* bei Microchip. Und dazu auch noch gratis eine sehr coole IC-Box!

Ich nehme i.A immer bis 1-10 nF Kerkos (weil sie einfach so verdammt billig sind) und für alles, was drüber ist dann Folienkondensatoren (z.B. MKS-2). Hat alles bisher gufunzt. Wenn du auf Nummer sicher gehen willst, nimm immer, sobald es geht, Folienkondensatoren, die sind auf jeden Fall besser als Kerkos.

Without the LCD (it drains the most current - with the backlight on about 200-300 mA) you will need nearly nothing. I assume you will have some LEDs? However, the current will definitely be under 300 mA without a LCD! So have fun with that adapter! :D
-
Thats a cool site! Thnx! Anyway: Do you have any idea, how high the latency of this circuits is? And do you know, if you can program those Atmel ICs with the JDM?
-
For what? Mostly it is stated in the schematics, how much current you will need. A MB64 e.g. requires about 300-500mA and a LC (with motorfaders) more than 1A.

OK, thnx, although I have *no* idea what this guy is talking about, cause I don´t speak one word swedish... ;D ;)
