Here is the next incarnation.....still some bits to go... but getting there

eventually I will have all of the Din's and Dout's connected... but they will have to be separate drawings... unless I can do it in flash or something to get all the layers.... like I said, a work in progress. The original is done with photoshop so I have layers to work with.
p.s. I have not taken the test, but I don't believe fish drink. Respiration / osmosis? might take care of the h2o requirement?

Here is a work in progress for my front panel interconnections to DinX4 & DinX2 modules
only the first is connected, taking my time with this....

p.s.
Thanx Stryde!!!!

ok, sherman set the wayback.....
I messed with walkmen clones,
old 8-track hardware.... been there done that... it's REDICULOUSLY expensive....
The Mellotron dudes got it correct the first time... a standard capstan that spins everything at the same rate.. but the wear and tear...
then I bought my first Kurzweil in a pawn shop... old K2000S maxed out the RAM and OS. About 500 USD.
..... that's kinda when I gave up on the tape thing.... it has tickled my fancy a few times since then... but I do find it to be much more satisfying to just spring for the pro samples... and put em in the K2000.

I've been working on a DIY Mellotron since the 70's...... grrrrrrr
-
uhhh, heat it up with your soldering iron and pull the wires away.... then use a hobby knife to scrape the leftovers off the board, then drill the holes that got filled up?
i use that procedure on a regular basis... if there is a better one, lemme know!!

these are personal preferences, at this point, your questions are about esthetics.
everybody has a different vent on what looks good.. or might be usable as an interface
good luck with your particular interface !

E not CS... i think
-
the CS line on LCD 1 is hooked normally to the Core with the ribbon cable, the CS on LCD 2 will be connected to.... RC on J10 of the Core? The loose wire, not quite sure what I will do to fasten it down.. but that shouldn't be rocket science. (who/m/ever invented hot glue should get the Nobel Prize!)
that's my story and I'm sticking with it :)
-
YeeHaw !!
Thanx TK
-
I am using the same idea InDeep, however I am using wire wrap to interconnect the LCD's together and then into a pin block that is soldered to the ribbon cable going to the connector on the Core.....here is a cheesy pic but you get the idea. And of course, I have not connected the second LCD as of yet.
good luck,

hmmm, just tried this a couple of times on my mac and got the following:
MacPro:MidiBoxStuff ggb$ svn co svn://svnmios.midibox.org/mios
svn: Can't connect to host 'svnmios.midibox.org': Operation timed out
Not sure if i beeez doing something incorrectly, followed the 'if you run Linux/MacOS then svn is (mostly) installed.
Opened terminal in my midibox directory/folder and got the above message.
any ideas midibudz?
TIA

Thank You, TK !!

I have thought about that also, but have not dissected my switches to see if I can replace the LEDs.
I think I got the idea of bolting the perfboards from the pix that TK put up on the web.
My point of difference, I then attached the perfboard to 1/4" hardboard (with 1/2" plastic spacers) to firm up the 'floppy' way perfboard goes together. I will drill holes in the hardboard to allow wires to pass through, and mount all the PCBs on the underside of the hardboard. That way, it is only a rack mounted panel, without an enclosure.
good luck with your project !!

here is the control surface so far.... wondering if I will need some other button caps for the black switches... hmmm need to look.
-
yeah, that was my problem....
luckily, i am a pc tech so have pc's also. I grabbed the image in 'FrontPanel' then saved it as a gif file. pulled it into photoshop on my mac and scaled it to fit a 19 inch rackmount. at least the dimensions are correct... it's not pretty, but if you would like a copy, i would be happy to email it to you. pm me.
good luck,

yes, the midi ports on the Core.
took me a few minutes to get MiosStudio configured correctly, but after that, everything was hunky-dorey
