So what is you log pots full resistance value?! I tried to check that figure, and think that it means that "R2=10", and that most linear curve at figure 6. means that you have to add resistor that has 10% value of full pot resistance between center and top lug of that pot.. Bye, Moebius

For Q3: Well, not linear, but maybe close enough?! Check document http://www.elby-designs.com/documents/tailoringpotentionometers.pdf Figure 6. gives you impression how close you can get.. Bye, Moebius

As far as I know: Yes. And it can be synced external midi clock also. (But not just a track, full sequencer engine, that is) Bye, Moebius

shed, I'm not sure If I got you right.. but silk screening is 'bout pressing ink through mask to surface. Yes, of course it has to have surface that is willing to accept da paint. As far as I know (not that far ;)) any pro device from synths to mobilephones are painted by silk screening.. please, PRO's, tell me if I'm wrong??! Bye, Moebius

As far as I know, "car paint isn't it", doesn't work for silk screening.. but there are 300/600dpi silk screens for detailed work. The mask is done by using photosensitive emulsion/ "photographic" prosess. (Hobbyist shops here don't seem to know anything ' bout it) ?!, Moebius

As wo's ordering from mouser, so I think he's a yankee ;) Yes, blue leds are more expensive than normal, but still.. eBay.de feat. http://www.realstyles.de/ 0,23 euro a piece for 5mm one. Bye, Moebius

That's just 'bout any general purpose small power NPN transistor. Like 2N2222.. just watch out for different pinouts. And for the leds I would say: eBay ;)

...sorry, I quoted farnell UKs site. (Forgot, that their listing/ site designs vary between national sites). Listed price is £0.67. That's ok, just a bit more power available.. it's more important is that it fits the board. Bye, Moebius

With quick look at farnells site, Check order code 3940585.

wo, should work ok.

Yes, MIOS supports it OK. It's up to MIOS app, how nicely information lines up to the display. Bye, Moebius

Hi, John. "midio128_v2_1 directory" refers to the directory, where you have unzipped midio128 source files. (midio128_v2_1.zip from MIOS Download page) And then at that folder, open dos prompt (cmd, whatever) and type "perl hex2syx.pl main.hex -device_id 0x01" there. This should do, bye, Moebius

Yup, No problem ;)

Oh, GEE! :o :o That WAS fast!! Thanx, Moebius

Hi, Pierrot! Have you already read document "Cubase setup" under HOWTOs at ucapps.de? What midibox do you have, and If it's MIOS based, do you have bankstick (needed for more than one setup)? Really, what you want to do is map Cubase faders (ect.) to different controllers (as you have done), and then configure midibox with different banks for different controllers. Then, by switching banks in midibox, you can control all things you have made midi controllable in Cubase. Bye, Moebius ps. don't hesitate to ask more help

<-- just speculation, for cubase modified version --> Yup. But that's where Midibox comes in ::) In Cubase 3.7 motormix can remote control ALL channels, but only in groups of 8. View left/right buttons sends midi message to cubase to switch channels remote is assigned to, so all channels can be accessed. I assume, when, let's say, View right message is sent, cubase sends updated information for next 8-channels, even for display. So if emulated (custom) motormix controller keeps quickly sending "View" -messages it can access all channel parameters for, let's say 24 channels, update those, and keep synchronized with cubase, no? "Crossing my fingers" - Consider it done ;) Yes, I would be very happy, with basic motormix emulation. And I'm also willing to study more about it's specification, and try to answer questions about it here in the forum. I'm only requesting this, as I'm "deeply" in love with my antique Cubase 3.7, as it's fastest and most convenient way of working for me. Well, with all the work you have already done, I'm expecting that you're busy with your invention of the 25th hour of the day.. ;D ;D Bye, Moebius

Well, I'm also interested. I prefer Cubase 3.7 for my audio/sequencer, and cm motormix is the only full(ish) control surface it supports.. still no more than 8-channels at same time thought.. But then again, I thought of clever(?) idea of using protocol as basis for custom controller (that has more channels/ maybe dedicated EQ-section), that SEEMS to be 8-channel box for the host software, but continuously sends messages to switch channel setups to query state of all channels, and updates them. I have also found article 'bout programming for cm motormix: http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/files/motormixprogram Bye, Moebius

Yup, just code it and add needed mem. P: But How's up to design 2191 based board for DIY audio DSP? Bye, Moebius

I had the same idea of using Paula for a hardware sampler 'bout year ago.. but found it too challenging technically for me  :-[. But it's doable, so go ahead :) <strangely, just yesterday my friend mentioned amiga, and I remembered my everlasting project of transfering old amiga MODS to PC and found out that http://www.oldskool.org/disk2fdi can read my old amiga disks, with only second 3,5" diskdrive as an additional HW, GGreat!> Bye, Moebius

Because it's easier to start building from kit. And Paia has very reasonable pricing, been around for ages (Like, www.ele4music.com has dropped almost every analog synth kit - and gone VST) and have good supportive attitude towards DIYers. (And some schematics available too, If you want to route your own boards) Bye, Moebius p.s. DIY analog synth links at portal, anyone?!

Yes, of cource! (but It's only revealed to ECEs (Eagle Certified Engineers. And it's so easy: Eagle is probably the only PCB cad package, that Googles at least 5 relevant search results (first page) for (eagle) gerber output)) But lets put irony aside. For easy instructions check: http://www.cs.uml.edu/~fredm/courses/91.548-spr03/eagle-gerber-output.shtml OR http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/se-inoue/e_eagle44.htm Bye, Moebius

Yeah, Our local Recycling Center has some electronic junk for sale.. But I have even a better resource, as my friend is working at local telephone co. and as a electronic geek, he uses his lunch breaks to check what's being thrown out to be shipped to electronics recycling company: Wide variety of LCD's pulled out of old telephones, most 2*16 but even one 4*40. 19" rack cases. Misc. electronic parts, like regulators, power supplies, cables ect. The most of the stuff thrown out is still fully functional, just "outdated". And being recycled back to raw materials. So it might be worthwhile (all those strange l:o:oks) to ask: "Please, Can I do some dumpster diving" ;) Bye, Moebius

Check LCD module page. There's diagram to connect two character displays. All (control and data) lines, but ENABLE line are shared by two displays. ENABLE to second display is taken from J10 - RC pin. Bye, Moebius

Oh, one thing.. Has anyone taken any old Electronic Typewriter apart?! There are several at our local Recycling Centers shop costing 'bout 3 euros a piece. Buttons have nice touch, but I'm not sure If keyboards are one piece, or constructed out of individual key switches.. Bye, Moebius (Never trash anything, You're GOING to need it ;))

Surey.. but which "Brand"?! At least Keytronic manufactured are out of question, as those have keyboard membrane, not individual switches.. I got some from an old Teletex terminal, but sadly those are Normally Closed type. Bye, Moebius
