No, Just trying to figure out what you're up to. Moebius

And which part of the LC project or Mackie control protocol supports potentiometers? a little? Moebius

Yes, It's taken care in the design. Look little further in the details of the MB_SID and Your PSU design.. and follow the instructions ;) Moebius

It was labour day wasn't it... ;) did some restructuring. Few pointers: I like nested structures. This helps keeping wikihome tidy Too much esternal links sort of defeats the purpose of the wiki (especially on the wikihome page) Moebius

Although I don't know about mechanical/electrical construction here... just kinda remember that these organs use fairly big currents in driving voices from the keyboard. Why (DIN) input from the keyboard would be anything but tappin' contact voltage from the keyboard thru resistor driving a transistor acting as a switch for DIN? I'm not a FET guy, but it also seems fairly easy to drive FETs from DOUT, like done with a "competitors" board: http://www.geocities.com/JDPetkov/Hardware/mdec64/Vern/valvdriv.gif (It's for driving organ valves, but with some modifications it should work for "switching" keycontacts to bus) All this would need a common ground between organ and MB, but seems doable. So, I'd say learning curve is there, but it's not really that hard. Moebius

I'm interested how improved resolution would be used in the application side? This seems to be the MOST overlooked thing by "Laptop DJ"tm generation of Midiboxers. Moebius

As always, the only encoder in Votis shop: M-SW-ROT (Catalogue->Switches, keypads) SIDs (6851) have tendency to run quite hot. It's nothing to worry about. You might put heatsink on those. (I've seen C64s use metalshield on top of the PCB to contact SIDs and be sort of heatsinking element) Moebius

Yes -> http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=6568.0 But what CAN we do about it? Moebius

Not that I've programmed any, but maybe with PIC Burner and the programming adapter found from the IIC MIDI Module page? M

Hmm.. I'm throwing a wild guess: those are 8051 derivates with higher clock speed and USB as a one additional interface. Or nothing new - as http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_usb.html shows. Moebius ;D

No politics, please. M

What - I was dead serious! ;) I gave an OK for edits - do it people! If it's not working it can be cancelled or changed by anybody else. The current stucture is imported from the old Wiki and hey - there's no FINAL version here. As I had some troubles with Wiki syntax 'n' all - I was given an advise by Smash to keep away from :namespace 's -I'm not sure if those are enabled anyway. This means that You'll have to stay away from dublicate name entrys for the pages. Looks like someone has a vision how to make Wiki more accessible - spare a moment or two and do it!! (I think we are mostly caring about 'so called' newbies and try to make information easily available) Moebius

Hi, One of the wonderful features of the Wiki is that You can edit the content by Yourself in non-destructive manner. This means that DEFINITELY dead links can be removed and those that need to be dug up again can be marked as non-working. One of the problems we have here in the forum are the links formatted to former Yabb board which (of course?) don't work with current SMF and some double posts coming from board import to the new format. I'd love to see somebody to come up with a fix - I wouldn't even bitch about forum being down then ;D Moebius

Then there is short somewhere in Your boards.. do a visual inspection if you can find a bad soldering and then use multimeter to check if there's short circuit somewhere. Moebius

Hi, No - This is not normal. What kind of Power Supply do You use? The combination of the modules and LCD should not take more than ~1A current, how much is your adapter rated for? Moebius p.s. Some PSUs have thermal fuses in them, so they switch off if loaded too heavily and back on after the PSU calms down..

It's such a brilliant IDEA to TALK about restructuring Wiki at the forum.. ::) When You actually login and do the changes at Wiki, the possible "Whoops" factor is zero IE. it can be reverted back to the original state. M

10k Ohm, Linear

I was more referring to the post that Stryd dug up. OR when You're capable of coding to MIOS and got application running and You see some strange behaviour - with modularized coding (and understanding interaction with MIOS), It's easy to add few lines code to see on LCD or in MIDI message what is happening and where. I think the problem with ICD2 was that it claims a couple of IO pins for itself and needed it's own debuging code added to the program running on the PIC. For circuit simulation, Linear has its own "LTSpice/SwitcherCAD III", http://www.linear.com/company/software.jsp which despite of its description and name is a full blown SPICE III compatible simulator. Moebius

Just to remind: MIOS functions are available for both your Application and for your debugging needs. This is what TK has suggested in the past. As modular coding/ debugging practices. Moebius

Guilty until proven Innocent? I think this is just another controller trying to get it's share from the already crowded midi controller market. Moebius

DrBunsen: It's based on SRAM - I don't think it really needs the specific chip ect. Jidis: It's my pleasure! 2 Screws ect - and I just like to see "what's inside". It's double sided PCB inside with TC5517APL, 2 SIP resistor packs (9pin for pull-up or down, next to SRAM on both sides), a battery, a diode and a resistor, 2 probably trasistors for memory protection switching and the switch. No pictures - I would provide those as needed if I had a digicam. Easy to trace, "clone", whatever.. just if I had a slave driver... Moebius

Well - I popped open the 16k one, MC-16C. Only "special" thing is the Roland made card edge connector. Tracing this wouldn't be that hard. (SRAM chip is TC5517APL) Moebius

"Doctor Doctor.." Lemme take that limited piece of **** out of your hands.. ;D or then again: Midibox64 modified to good edit layout in with custom meta events and in patch mode and Your MKS-7 RoXX! (MKS-7 has a single edit buffer for the sounds, this would dump patch as SysEx when changing "patch" on midibox.. I'm been wondering about hacking into this machine.. (if I had one) and do some HW/SW modifications.) Moebius /edit p.s. Just hope the problem is in the oscillators not on the filters - the oscillators are standard digital counter chips.

Hi toxic We would really like to help You, but You don't give enough information about your setup ect. Tells us that screen looks like initializing correctly. Can You see anything coming from the midibox -> PC midi input? Did your core module pass voltage tests as explained in the core module page at uCApps.de? ect. Moebius

I was referring to 2 user groups - One being Ableton Live users the other being Traktor DJ users.. By the way - The FULL legal version of the Live comes with documentation ;D ;D ;D Moebius
