... because of uncle noise? - On the other hand: I then could complain about this f...ing noisy Harddrive and would be happy with cheap Mic-Pres because I wouldn't hear the "schhhschhhschhh...." anymore. ;D Greets, Roger

... not only. To not insulting anybody, I won't name brands. But under "pro" I understand: - 32Bit floating (... so I don't have channel-clipping within the digital domain) - an editer which doesn't has to render EQ, dynamics, pitch and fades (I'm not talking about the mixer track) - an editer which supports source/destination 4-point cutting - hardware which supports MADI - a system which can highspeed render my mix if I'm not using outboards ... and some other things which are too minor to list here. Well... I just can think of one brand which does fulfill not one of the above points :'( and they call themselves the loosers... ähhhm leaders (damn english... it's not my mothertongue ;D ) Greets, Roger

... why lucky? You could tell your boss, that you will quit the job if he doesn't buy proper and professional equipment ;D Sorry, but I couldn't hold myself back ;) Greets, Roger

... for what machine? ...DAW? Tape-Recorder with GPIs? other? Greets, Roger

... in a guitar, encoders are not a good solution. Since you have to feel, where you are... nothing for endless encoders. Greets, Roger

... mostly used is a graphite as the conductive material on the bottom of the buttons. Graphite powder (about 20%) is also mixed into thermoplasts, to make make it conductive (ever wondered how plastic encoder knobs of digital mixers can be touch sesitive? ;) ) You could try to mix about 80% graphite powder with 20% of some silicone glue and smear it over the bottom of your buttons, to make it conductive. The big challenge will be the construction shape to receive a nice tactile feel. You have to design some kind of silicone dome which snaps when you push the button. Greets, Roger

... with the small space you have on a guitar I would think about pots with built in tact switches... save the space for 8 seperate ones. Greets, Roger

I think it doesn't even have to withstand a higher temperature than the soldering tin. I lately soldered a PCB which was "printed" with tin by this silk-screen printing technique. - The printed tin was melting but the result was surprisingly good. The circuit trace just shrunk a little bit at the soldering points but it stayed perfectly intact. Greets, Roger

... depends on your power supply. The splitting shouldn't be a problem... it's like you're having 20 "power ON" LEDs ;D For the cable I think it's no problem as well, even thought those single lines aren't of large diameter. Greets, Roger

... sorry don't have that many. Tip: Go to a big music shop where they sell lots of rack mount gear and ask. - A lot of times they take the left over cables out of the box before selling it. Most of todays ProAudio gear comes with all types of power cables (US/UK/German).

... be carefull with that: Something being pressure resistant doesn't say it's vacuum resistant!!! And an implosion can be very dangerous too. Greets, Roger

... how many do you need? Greets, Roger

... I think you mean "pins"...? Just use the left over ones Pins 4,2 and 5 (the three middle ones) are occupied by the MIDI interface by specification. ... I think you got something wrong here: The MIDI cable is the connection to your synth (or the DigiTech pedal... I think you're the guy writing about this stuff in an other thread). So you'll have the core board in your guitar and the buttons and LEDs are connected to it. Greets, Roger

... I think it's electronic. I was talking to them early this year because I showed interest for using them in our mixers. In our conversation he mentioned, that it would be cheaper for us if we include their electronics right on our fader boards. Funny thing is, they just E-mailed me about an hour ago and asked me if I'm interested in samples :) Greets, Roger

... they have also digital output and they are not cheap http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=6462.0 Greets, Roger

... I don't think the PCBs are as easy as you think. How do you wanna do the carbon plating of the contact surface? Greets, Roger

http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=3065.0 ... might be of help Greets, Roger

MIDIYoke and MIDIOX (both freewares... there is somewhere a link on ucapps.de for downloading) Greets, Roger

Sequoia... weil es den besten Audio-Editor hat (4-Punkt-, Source/Destination-Schnitt)

... I found the pin layout. If you PM me your E-Mail, I'll send it to you. - Anybody else interrested? Greets, Roger
