oh roger, so cynical.
i use a pro control at school, i imagine thats what you mean by proper and pro equipment.
ryan
... 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 )

I am lucky enough to use a mackie control and 2 extenders with protools every day at work.
... 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 ;)

I need to build a controler with just the transport controls stop. play. record ect
... for what machine? ...DAW? Tape-Recorder with GPIs? other?

i appreciate the help. I've spent the majority of the day looking for parts. Anybody know where I could get some REAN knobs in the US? The ones I wanted at mouser were non stock with a 50 minimum order :(

You could perhaps use 4 encoders with a click function, you can order them at smash. That would save you from a AIN module... and you get the advantages of a encoder.
... in a guitar, encoders are not a good solution. Since you have to feel, where you are... nothing for endless encoders.

in fact the problem is that you feel the "click" of the tact switch too...
it's a way the pads are done on MPC and others:
finding a conductive material to put back side the pad won't be a problem i suppose, and maybe the pcb can be done with standart method ?
... 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.

That means I want to have 8 pots and 8 buttons (4 menu + 4 other) in the small amount of space I have.
... 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.

... but high enough to withstand soldering...
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.

Hey... Sorry I didn't explain it so good. The 20 LEDS are seperate from the whole midibox thing... They are connected to an on/off switch just for lighting the beast up, and have nothing to do with the core... That's why I wonder if I should just split the power coming from the midi-cable in 2? Or will the seperate LEDs pull too much power??
Thanx for helping.... i'm learning alot
:-) Rune
... 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.

Hey Roger,
I need 8 plugs and 2 sockets, all 3 pin.
D
... 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).

hey Moxi,
I meant using the pressure cooker as a vacuum vessel, will be very well sealed and u can pick them up cheap at charity shops/ebay etc...
... be carefull with that: Something being pressure resistant doesn't say it's vacuum resistant!!! And an implosion can be very dangerous too.

... how many do you need?

I want to run the power over the 2 unused dims in the Midi-cable
... 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.
and how do I run the power inside the guitar (do I just split the wire into two, one going to the modules the other going to the LEDs?)... 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.

I think it's more mechanical assembly than electronic, but I could be wrong about that. ?
... 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 :)

What worries me is that they give 0-3V analog output which is not enough to drive multiplexers.
... they have also digital output and they are not cheap http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=6462.0

... there are already other, better implemented control protocolls out there:

Making our own PCB's really won't be that big a deal. I need to present a bunch of board designs to smash pretty soon and I'll add one of these to the mix.
... I don't think the PCBs are as easy as you think. How do you wanna do the carbon plating of the contact surface?

Hi,
I've been lent a Novation Remote SL Zero for the weekend to try out. So far it seems alright....not great.
Any one have any suggestion how I should analyze the MIDI I/O so that I can gather some information about the Automap feature and how the protocol works?

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

... for the optical ball-mouse recycle, you don't need a PS/2 interface. You can connect the optical interrupters right away to the DIN board. "Logitec" mices have four pins where of one goes to ground. If I find the pin layout on one (which one ???) of my computers, i'll send it to you (I have it somewhere). I'll use it in my box for the jogwheel (low mechanical resistence).
... I found the pin layout. If you PM me your E-Mail, I'll send it to you. - Anybody else interrested?

hallo everybody
i was wondering if anybody has an eagle power tools software not the demo version to convert an image into an eagle script, i need it to fix led rings in a roundish pcb design.thanks

... 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
