Hi All, I would like to have a LED indicating the midi clock as global indicator of the connections. Is this feasible? I tried searching the forum for sync/pulse/clock but I did not find any clue yet. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, ron

Just curious, which album/track from Pink is this?

Hi! I am trying to achieve the same, use a 4x20 LCD display. I followed the instruction, and noticed the 2 default lines have shifted down 1 row. They are now in the middle two lines of the LCD. I guess that's fine for now. #define CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS 10 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y0 0x40 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y1 0x14 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y2 0x00 #define DEFAULT_LCD_LINE_Y3 0x54 But I'm not sure about these: ;; NOTE: if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5, you have to adapt the DIN settings ;; in CS_MENU_DIN_TABLE below In the code: DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel6, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel7, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel8, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel9, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel10, 0, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 How do I need to interpret this? Please remember I am a real MB newbie :-) Thanks, Ron

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Currently I am using an older type of PCB for the core and trying on getting that to work. I did notice the Modular Addicts base boards, and these look mighty fine, but shipping costs hold me back. 2 PCB's for total of 90 dollars is a bit expensive... Would be nice to have a European store. Cheers!

Hi, I would like to use the MIOS studio on my Linux PC, but both version 2.4.8 + 2.4.9 crash on startup. I tried regular user, also as root. Regular user indicates a core dump is created. OS is Linux Ubuntu 22_04, desktop version. starting with strace does not reveal any suspects. Are there any specific requirements?

Hi all, I have just started to dive into the MidiBox world, so . My current goal is to use maximum 2 SID chips. I have the core running already and now working on the banksticks and DIN/DOUT. Because I have no experience yet with the Midibox, it is just not clear to me yet, what the minimum amount of knobs/switches/leds is versus the goal of quickly operating the synth and al of it's features. I guess i'm looking for a balance between a clean front, which jus the amount of dials/switches for making music. On the front-page manual ( http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=midibox_sid_manual_fs.html ) there is talked about the 'Step A Surface'. I guess for my current needs, this would fit my needs. However, I do not find any links to a designed faceplate. I would be more than happy with something made out of PCB (isof Schaeffer) like done in modular world today, eg: https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/d/dcfa477fc85074523b9ff74d32dcfe69ee1c253f.png Does anyone have any links to forum items which could help me with that? Best regards, Ronald
