... you have to calculate the parallax depending on the angle your display will have to your eyes in your most regular working positions. - You can use the Pythagorean theorem (... happy pythagorasing...eeehhhm calculating ;)) Greets, Roger

... ich weiss nicht, ob Du schon im Besitze eines VCA controlled mixers bist und diesen per MIDIbox automatisieren willst. - Wenn nicht, weshalb kaufst Du Dir nicht einfach Motorfader mit Log Audio-Taper? Greets, Roger

... don't look/think too far. As Seppoman already mentioned: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_scan_matrix1.pdf

... the company where I work was building their faders by themselfe a few years ago. - The biggest issue was the design of the sliding piece in matter of wearing down the taper vs. cleaning it (scrape away the dirt without wearing down the conductive plastic). - So ... no chance :-[ Greets, Roger

... I don't know how you play the guitar. - If I would play it, the resistive plating would be worn down after a few vibratos. ;) ... I don't see a reason. Greets, Roger

Hi Cimo http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=3513.0 Greets, Roger

Are you talking about the metal ones? ...go for 2mm. 3mm could be very too narrow to the knob. If I find time this weekend, I will go to my lab (it's not in the same house) and measure it. Greets, Roger

Does somebody have some NJU7304 ICs left over he wants to sell? Mouser doesn't have them in stock anymore. Greets, Roger

http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_mf.html ... here you can read about the problems occuring. I'll try drive them because I have 24 faders which I want to use. At the time I'm occupied with other concerns. Greets, Roger

http://www.byho.ch/ishop24/product_info.php/products_id/86 ... watch out, this display has an LVDS interface. - You'll need a converter, if your PC has no LVDS interface onboard (which an ATX board normally doesn't have). LVDS is standard for laptops. Converter: http://www.byho.ch/ishop24/product_info.php/products_id/291 ... I don't know about this one fits, I bought another make. Inverter for Backlight: http://www.byho.ch/ishop24/product_info.php/products_id/81 Touchscreens (incl. Controller board): http://www.byho.ch/ishop24/product_info.php/products_id/325 Greets, Roger

... it's my current and never ending project. I hope DAW Host programs still support the MIDI language when it's finished ;D :P Greets, Roger

... that does not mean, that a MBHP-Controller is the right solution ;) I'm also combining MBHP-Controllers with screens of a MiniATX-board. The Controllers are used for the rotaties and the 10" PC screens for graphics/displays (and the screens/PC get the display information over a Midi-Through... so in this case the screens have to do something with Midi ;)). Everybody in this forum (also Playbo$$) just wants to help you and give you ideas. Greets, Roger

... You could propably use the "link" function. http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_link.html The number of cores depends also on how many and which displays you're using. Greets, Roger

Basically this is possible. It depends, what/how Nuendo can control. Having so many displays for every parameter (like shown in your pic of the Euphonix System5), will propably be the biggest challenge (economical wise ;)) Greets, Roger

... not really. As you write, the register get read... not the number of buttons connected to them. But for shure, the fat cable thing is a serious contra argument. Greets, Roger

... why don't you just wire the buttons (Buttons-B) to the same pins as Buttons-A? - This should work. ... in an answer to this question, I would be interested too. :) Greets, Roger

Meine sind auch angekommen und sehen heil aus. - Nochmals vielen Dank. ... deshalb habe ich 9 bestellt... einen Fehler erträgts bei mir :-) Greets, Roger

You can use a standard flex-cable connecter e.g. from "Tyco Electronics" Greets, Roger

... weil PayPal, wie in einem anderen Deutschen Thread zu lesen ist, seine Tücken hat. Für mich in der Schweiz ist es nicht möglich, den € Betrag, welchen ich auf dem PayPal Konto habe, auf ein Schweizer €-Konto zu überweisen. - Nur auf ein Schweizer CHF-Konto, was heisst, dass ich durch den Währungs-Wechsel Geld verliere. - Also bezahle ich wenn immer möglich per PayPal, bis ich den Betrag auf einem anständigen Niveau unten habe. Greets, Roger

Funny reaction... :D

... knobs are made of thermoplast. - If you warm them when mounting them, they won't retighten that much when cooled down.

... is this a joke? Doing this with a mechanical encoder... all the abrasing from the detend notches. - You probably get a resolution of about 10'000 per rotation ;D

I thought: "Cool, some Newbies going ahead and do something for the whole community. - Just great!" ... well you propably just fxxxed up the success of this bulk order with this pessimistic comment. - I don't understand the motivation to shout out personal doubts in this thread. You don't beware anybody of beeing fxxxed up but the pessimism is infecting and people start to get more careful and reserved without a real reason. I mean there is always a certain risk but the benefit is the price. There is a risk for both parties and you never know. But we're not talking about big bucks. Did anybody in this community really know me, when I did the last Motorfader bulkorder? - No... nobody. Perhaps Smash and Skunk knew me a bit better than the rest of you but they didn't know about I'm a jerk or not. (They still don't ;D) I don't want to offend you Sasha (I even would send you money in advance for a MF-order ;) ) or Playbo$$, but I just had to get rid of that. I understand your doupts but I don't understand why you just don't join the bulkorder and keep your doupts for yourself. A Newbie is not known at all but he shouldn't be a subject for crime just because of this. Greets, Roger

... ask prices for Faderknobs too. - FK13x25 silverchrom - FK13x25 blackchrom Greets, Roger

... mit mir könnt Ihr leider nicht rechnen, ich habe vor gut einem Jahr selbst eine Sammelbestellung organisiert und damals meine MF-Ration bestellt. Ich finde es nur schade für das Forum, denn mir scheint anhand der Postings, dass eigentlich wieder Bedarf besteht. Das Problem in diesem Thread war, dass zuviel gefragt und darauf eingegangen wurde. - Bis es allen den "Mut" geraubt hat. Klar, zuerst muss ein gewisser Stand an Infos über die allgemeinen Bedürfnisse erfragt werden. Danach kann entschieden werden (vom Organisator), was angeboten wird. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt heisst es nur noch "take it or leave it". Auch das fehlende liebe Geld ist keine Verhinderung, denn wie ich ein paar Postings zuvor geschrieben habe, kann man das Geld locker auch vor der Sammelbestellung einziehen, was auch das Risiko für den Organisator verringert. Ich hatte das nicht nötig, da ich die Summe problemlos vorschiessen konnte und somit den genauen Betrag kurz vor dem Versand einziehen konnte. Als ich die Fader bekommen habe, habe ich die einzelnen Pakete geschnürt und somit das genaue Gewicht für den individuellen Weiterversand gewusst. Da ich keine Fader brauche, werde ich die Bestellung für Euch nicht organisieren :P. Meine Sammelbestellung war aber eine gute Erfahrung (keinerlei Probleme) und wenn ich mal wieder was Bestelle, bei wessen sich eine Sammelbestellung lohnt, werde ich dies sicher wieder tun. Und nun los... organisieren! ;D Greets, Roger
