illogik

hi; this has nothing to do with your sensor; all unused AIN pins need to be grounded anyway. i don't know which program you mean, but probably this has the other AIN pins disabled so they don't need to be grounded

my point exactly, and when you have to pound 50+ dents it's easy to fck it up... i'm still doing it this way though ;)

hil; yeah a lot of people use this, check the photos of TK's MBSID for instance; http://www.midibox.org/midibox_sid_photos/ pcb/panel mount; panel mount, puts less stress on your components; so if you want a vandal proof box use these pcb mount; to me looks nicer too, but keep in mind especially when you want to drill your own frontpanel/have big pcb's with a lot of components, it's easy to make a few small mistakes so it won't fit.

yeah i think you can :) just read up on how to configure the application with MPLAB, open the project file in the MB64e folder, and read/edit the main.asm file. once you get the idea it's quite easy cheers, marcel

hey; you are talking about MB64(e) right? yes you can configure all those things when your machine is running. if you have an lcd it's easy; otherwise you have to configure it with a PC and vmidibox good luck

hi; check this; http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2006/03/potentially-very-clever-sonoric-synth.html

hey this is happening with only the core/no ain connected? then you've probably made a short circuit between some points on J5 or J6 on the core module; check it well with a multimeter before you power up again goodlukk

hi dave; something is p.. i don't see 68uF in the gif only 68nF? this is still wrong i think, but the schematics are always the reference if you are in doubt, plus these are better readable too ;) so looking to the pdf you need 2 68pF(pico) caps.. continue soldering

yes you are.. ;D midibox plus is kindof the older version of Mbox 64; this has more/better options. It's still on the site as reference for the people who built this in the past, but it will not be supported in the future. The MB64 doesn't have to have 64 pots; it's a maximum, so you can build it the way you like. every pot/fader/ribboncontroller needs to be connected to a AIN, so you will need this afterall good luck

hi; the pots on ain work as voltage dividers; they deliver a voltage ranging from 0 to 5V to the analog inputs. Another value pot does the trick but with another resolution i guess. Try it out with a low value pot. BUT; then the ain pin is floating (not connected to ground/a voltage) and will cause jittering of mididata. check the forum though there is a topic on the xy-pad maybe there is allready an nice solution for this good luck edit; this topic http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=5023.msg32241#msg32241 quote form rafael

it wouldn't be so much off topic if you would have posted it in "parts questions" or "miscellaneous" check mouser; i think they have almost everything

keep in mind these are different things, so i can't say if one is better. midi to cv is for when you want to control analog/voltage controlled equipment with midi cv to midi is for when you want to modulate/control midi parameters by voltages (sensors or analog lfo's /keyboards for instance) kinda; i meant you can sequence analog equipment with midi. and if you have a midicontroller wich can hold different setups (like mb64 or some seqencers) and a midi>cv you can program patches for the analog gear but to give you a straight answer; if you have analog gear/synths and you want to control them with digital gear; build a MBCV

this one? http://www.cyndustries.com/info_1.cfm have you seen those modules? no serious, analog synth modules; zerosccilator etc?

you want to be able to trigger the drum sounds by midi? find out what kind of signals the pads give out; probably a pulse and a velocity signal, i have no doubt that a midibox can provide you with these signals

yes thats what i think too you can also make analog Voltage Controlled Resistors; with transistors/OTA's or vactrols (vactrol is a led/ldr combination) i think the OTA VCR is the most accurate you should check datasheets of for instance LM13700, and report back if you have anything usefull, because i still messing on howto implement this the vactrol method is less accurate, but way easier to implement example: http://home.comcast.net/~sbernardi/elec/og2/og3_echo.html

?? to me it's one of the best things here; i have/build various analog gear, but i have midi synths too so i work with midi seqencers. analog gear is controlled by gates (and triggers) and control voltages, what a midi>cv converter does is it converts note/on off messages to gates, and notes/cc's/other data to control voltages so now you can not only sync, but also fully secuence and control an analog synth. Even further, together with a midicontroller like for instance a MB64 and some extra circuitry you could even make an interface to make presets for your analog gear!

hi; no the MBCV is a MIDI to CV converter; with the original MBCV you have 8 cv out and 10 gates yes it have been tested on several synths and works good!! if you want a cv to midi converter you can just build a midibox with an ain module, you put cv-inputs instead of pots!

you ask permission for something, people you ask say no and explain themself; and you keep asking why, but., if... and trying to find a thing to say which would make it ok afterall.... when people share something this way instead of make money from it; its obvious that it is non-profit project and i think it's a bit childish/egocentric to react the way you do. people in such projects don't want to spend all their time on explaining and explaining why we don't like the thing you suggested which maybe accounts for the so called jehova behaviour (allthough i think you don't know too many of them) it's a nice thing that all this info can be found on the internet, should inspire you and it would be nice if you would respect that people don't keep this for themselves

you people are like parasites, stop it and f ;D k off. you are not giving anything positive, just want to take... people here just have a hobby building midiboxes and beeing busy as a community with developing, and most don't like it when people are taking financial advantage of this, especially concidering the people who put in the most work don't even do this. If you like midiboxing as a hobby just keep up hanging around, asking relevant things etc. But if you want to produce and sell MIDI equipment you would have to... develop your own hardware and software platform!!! but this takes time, time you waste lying around and irritating other people as you may know there are many realities, don't wanna stand in yours too much

Heb een MBSID, MBSEQ + MB16E bijna af, bezig met MBCV+shx8 voor een monster analoge synth met presets, en heb spullen voor MBFM. Ik zal even kijken of ik ook wat van smash wil hebben, zo ja neem ik nog wel contact op.

ehhm... roger? where?

i'm probably missing the point; but do you just need a fader for a light? no automation? you can just buy special faders for lights in electronics shops round 15 euro's

hi; i don't know anything that isn't possible with this platform ;) the faders you now have serve an audio (volume) function; so if you can find (build? ;D) the right motorfaders wich also have an additional audio track it could be "fairly easy"...

this is the same thing in the midibox; inc/dec or left/right can be done by either 2 buttons or an encoder. if you want an encoder just lose the nav. buttons and add "exit" and "select" buttons. more ergonomical is when you put more select buttons>> under all the visible menuitems on the display (on a 2x40 this would be 10 buttons) about the design; i don't understand some choises/questions you make (pulsewith in filter menu?, up down for arpeggio?) i think you should build step A first (LCD, encoder + buttons) and play with the sid, you can access virtually every parameter, and see what it does and in which menu it is situated. this way you can customise the hardware better and more easily good luck, marcel

hi assuming mios is uploaded; the lcd probably is connected the wrong way (apart from at least the power lines ;D) when you connect only power to an lcd it shows the black blocks check connections with your meter cheers, marcel
