Wilba can. Screen and LEDs. Yes. It's not like LEDs or an LCD really take up less/more space when you do not put holes in the panel :yes: "And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head." - Terry Pratchett in "Maskerade"

Replying to the original question:

When it comes to tube preamps/classy tube sound/analog warmth you'll get 11 different opinions for every 10 guys you ask. I'd suggest visiting a well sorted music store or trying to find some A/B clips online. Assuming you haven't done any tube or HV projects, I'd suggest starting with a low voltage one and pretend it's HV - even if the sound may be a lot different from an incredibly cool awesomely hot running tube :flowers: Some hundred volts through your body fizzle quite a bit and make you jumpy for the rest of the day. Or dead.

A few hundred volts.

I can highly recommend toying with some of these: http://www.tube-town.net/diy/lov/lov03-bananabooster-eng.html Cheap, easy, low voltage, still nice :) You'll want to adjust the input impedance though as it's geared to'rds guitars.

There is none. Obviously. Your average LC display doesn't even display changes properly if the update rate is > 20fps since they're typically very sluggish, so anything above that is a waste of CPU time anyways.

MIOS8 by default updates the SRIO chain @ 1kHz. 8 enable lines => 1kHz/8 = 125 Hz. Sidenote (for more detail read the datasheet): The 25ns is the time it takes to switch the pin. Not the time it takes for you to write the entire shift register.

Using equipment works well against dust, too ;)

Yes, it is. Things to consider: * Extra overhead for writing the DOUT pins * Max. LCD update rate = DOUT update freq / Number of LCDs

..und bevor die fertige Maschine vor Dir steht darfst Du gerne jederzeit Fragen - allerdings ist es echt reichlich schwierig derart allgemeine Frage genau zu beantworten. Gib uns was womit wir arbeiten können und Du wirst sehr hilfreiche und detaillierte Antworten bekommen.

Na sicher doch: http://www.ucapps.de http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki Viel Lesen und dann mit etwas spezielleren Fragen wiederkommen :flowers:

There ya go. midibox.zip

Yes, that's okay. Thanks for asking :flowers:

A lot of very uncomfy personal sh*t happened. TK will handle the order in a little while. Sorry to everyone waiting.

You could also go with this approach: LM337/LM317 :)

How'd you get a hold of my life plan?

Apparently I do not need to hurry building mine then. Maybe, just maybe you do wanna wait until at least one or two of the prototypers have built there's an possibly come up with something? Just a thought.

You know how sometimes you just hope some thread would disappear during a server move? Just saying...

It might also be the lack of conventional puncuation or the fact that you tend to miss a in most of your sentences.

:ike:

Yes.

Very nice tune, unikoi! :thumbsup: The first lead tremendously reminds me of this:

Welcoming - absolutely. Commercially interesting - absolutely. Interested in going commercial - absolutely not. Here, have a flower instead. :flowers: Oh, and if you have a problem with one of your midiboxes, feel free to show up here for totally non-commercial and free advice.
