Mostly NI softsynths, reaktor, absynth. A bit of Cubase also, (that why I have buttons between the encoders, for mute, solo and track select) Reason also (The 8 buttons in the middle to select patterns) Does it make sense ?

Here's a panel idea I made for the Midibox 16E, please post your comments. 16 encoders, One LCD and 64 buttons.

I'm building a midibox16E My ultimate goal is to have "touch sensors" instead of traditionnal buttons, meaning instead of pushing a button, I touch a metal peice. Would that be possible with the 16E ? Otherwise, anyone has ideas on nice feeling buttons that don't travel too much ? Thanks, Nat

hello, I made some tests with the Virtualmidibox16E and reaktor. If I turn a knob and go further than 127, the knob in reaktor will behave the same, it will go back to 0, with the real thing, If I turn my encoder and go up to 127 then turn a bit more, will it top at 127 in reaktor ? Hope i'm clear, Thanks, Nat

They are for the LTC, Dinx and Dout modules. Si tu peux me redonner ton MSN je vais t'envoyer les listes Excel, tout y est expliqué

Just want to say that I'm very impressed, I ordered my samples yesterday evening from TI and got them this morning ! Very fast. Here are the part numbers for those interested : SN74HC165N SN74HC595N MAX232N CD74HC00E

Thanks, sorry for being such a newbie :)

Ok, so anything larger than 16v will do the job ?

Thanks ! Nat And can the 2200 uF condenser be any wattage ? They don't have 16v at my store. Thanks, Nat

Anyone knows where to find those buttons in the US ?

Ok, I'm trying to find those trimpots at my local electronic store, and I try to find the one that will fit SmashTVs PCB. The one in my catalog that fits is rated "1 meg Ohms" On the smashtv pcb site it says "10k" is that the same thing ? Also I can't find a 1.5a 800v Bridge recitfier, the closest is 1.5A 600v Will this do the job ? Thanks Nat

Mouser has some 318-ENC160-24P from Xircom/Alpha that looks nice and are not too expensive. They are non detented. I just wonder if they are good, will wait to see if someone who has some comment on them. Nat

I just visited a music store and tested some controllers with encoders and I definately want Non detented ones, they are smoother, I'd don't like that step feeling with the detented ones. Now, where to find non detented ones that have a good resolution ?

Cool, tu me diras si tu as tout trouvé. J'ai été chez Addison la semaine dernière, ils ont de belles boîtes pour faire les projets. Je crois qu'ils ont pas mal tout le matériel nécéssaire à part certains IC.

I'll start soldering the PCBs and gathering all the parts, and when I'm done i'll see if I want to use the PIC16 or PIC18. The only problem I have now is finding non detented encoders for the 16E at a good price. Do you shop some stuff in Montreal are only online ?

I'm getting quite confused. As I understand, the Midibox16e only support non detented encoders, meaning that when you turn it, you don't feel any ticks. I was reading some threads at the french forum and they the that the 16E supports only detented encoders.... I don't understand :((

I will be making the 16E...

Ok, i'm on the mouser site and I'm getting a bit confused. I'm checking the encoders on this page : http://www.mouser.com/catalog//614/660.pdf First of, Is there a big difference in performance between 36 detents res 18 and 24 detents/24 res ? The 36 detents are much more expensive and I wonder if the 24 detents can do the job . The 24 detents/24 res are 1.47$ which I find pretty strange, are they crap ? Now on the site they say to choose non detented encoders, are those ones non detented ? Thanks, Nat

Finnaly I decided I'd do a Midibox 16E. This is my first project so I guess I'll start with something more smooth. The problem is I ordered the PIC18..... from microchip.... So what's the solution ? Should I get the PIC16 (wait 2 months) or should I wait till the Midibox16e is ported to MIOS ? Thanks, Nat

thanks

Thanks, and would that be a new app or just a modification of the existing code ? Thanks, Nat

Is there a SID chip in the Vic20 ? Thanks, Nat

Thanks a lot, is there a feature list of what the LC can do ? The different modes, layers, shit functions etc. ? Thanks, Nat

Et est-ce que se serait possible de remplacer tous les boutons par des touch sensor ? Nat

Would it be simple to add a ledring to the unit ? Nat
