Hi Steven! It´s Mr. Senso, who has even visited this Forum to sell his SIDs. Bought some parts from him a while ago. Nice guy and Good Trader :) M

Yes and no. ;D It´s simply a necessity that even small business need to comply with. Call it a progression. I´ve seen that discussion and talked with Smash about it. He wasn´t that worried. As I can see, hobbyists can still buy leaded solder after 1st of July - I won´t be switching from 60/40 rosin core any time soon. (I´m trying to say, non-leaded processes are compatible with leaded solder. A Good Solder with Flux will help to achive good results) Moebius

Hi. I can´t speak on behalf of SmashTV and I hope I´m not revealing anything considered a secret ;D He´ll come by and give the full details. I had the possibility to see a preview picture from a new generation board and talk to the man himself (on IRC). First of all, these new boards do exactly the same as old boards. These are design revisions. But If I understood correctly, the new boards: A. Are Double Sided with plated thru holes B. Board interconnections are re-arranged to make "one to one" connections possible for SID module. C. Will comply with RoHS specifications Moebius

And if you cared to read MB64 ChangeLog and main.asm you might even add SHX8 to the list and switch the magic "#define DEFAULT_ENABLE_AMUX 0" to some other number than 0? Moebius

Welcome back! Nice to see You here ;) And welcome to #midibox@EFnet Moebius

Hi, You can configure buttons, pots and leds by using Vmidibox and sending this config to the midibox. - http://miostools.midibox.org/ You´ll find menu button definitions from the main.asm file in the Midibox 64 package. Bye, Moebius

Hi. http://www.vintageplanet.nl/ - CEM3378, 17,50 a piece. M

Old circuit sounds MUCH better, less noisy, phatter and all.. ;) Actually, pinout modification is for builders convenience and removing the onboard oscillator is to fix issue found in the forum thread TK posted. Moebius

Yes please! (I think I requested midiclock syncronized LFOs/ software envelopes in a PM many moons ago... Â ::)) A little technical background for persuasion (like TK didn't know): MBCV has an ultra tight internal timing as we know - but MIDI is not getting any faster. By moving tasks to the internal MBCV engine even with some added latency/jitter and minimizing midi bandwidth usage will still give better results than streaming CCs along with note data. Right? Moebius (p.s. I bet some of the charm in pre-MIDI rhythm driven electronic music lies in the clock tight sequencing.. Kraftwerk, Vince Clarke..)

Seems like you have "a new type" supply. Those are pretty damn difficult to open and then the inside is potted with epoxy.. better get a new PSU.. M

Or extended temperature range versions..?! Moebius

Hi. This should be possible, see http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=5835.0 Another core would be used to scan keyboard buttons and it would send midi to MBFM. I haven't studied this at all, so have a look by yourself. The code is in the MIOS download section, or http://www.ucapps.de/mios/din_velocity_unmuxed_v1_0.zip Bye, Moebius

Hi, 5.13VDC should be Okay - it's still in the limits (and who knows, how much your meter lies ;)). The PSU seems ok too.. But that 16.54 VDC is not good. I think I've got similar results when the regulator had input/output pins swapped.. Moebius

Yes, that's one way to do it. Moebius

Hi. Looking at http://jemtone.com/ - I'm pretty sceptical. Just another ready made midi controller, only this time with midibox guts? Value added only from building the box and frontpanel design/manufacturing? Did I get this right? Moebius - sceptical about people who describe their intentions in a vague manner and ALWAYS sceptical when someone who "has lived in MIDI world for 25 Years" plans to build a controller ;D

I hope It wasn't me ;D (accidents DO happen) I'm glad to see more people taking part in the development and taking MBHP to their own direction. Thanks audiocommander! Moebius

Cool development! Thanks, TK! M

Well, Wasn't Ultrawide around before the PCI.. You know: SCSI's not a x386 thinggy - it never was ;) Try Apple or some "Workstation".. You might see some bandwidth on disk operations. Disagree? Moebius

Yes. Probably the encoder with a switch has 2 pins on the second side. Those are switch contacts. Bye, Moebius

You're right -- www.ucapps.de was "down" and unreachable. Not anymore. :D M

:D Well, at least I'm here! Thanks for a good midiboxin' Year: Thorsten (of course), Dan (d2k), Smashy, Illogik, Klingen, gbeth, Twin-X.. Screaming Rabbit for arranging group orders.. (How in the hell you could do it?) raphael for being there, answering all the questions. Samppa /Moebius p.s. I Could do with some critisism.. or you could only reply here.. >:(

TK: Was the problem as problematic as the one jidis had: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=5861.msg36092#msg36092 Nobody reads the wiki. Really. Moebius

OK, 3* then, Velcro :=)

Whuzz is this: "2200/25uF"? I can see it on the schematics - Some strange shit my electronics shop couldn't deliver? :) Could it be 2200uF/25V? And as raphael simplified it: 2200uF/16V is enough. M

Nooo... ;) It's still IRC as usual: idling, babbling about stuff, meeting people. Some very lucky person might even get some questions answered.. Now that the channel is back (or did it even really go away?).. Peeps, pay it a visit if you have time to waste ;) Moebius
