  1. [S] 200 RJS TP216x LED Switch 8mmx8mm - France

    in Fleamarket

    Posted

    I hope this post is not too fiery for the forum's policy.

    ... I don't think so. I actualy expected much more gun fire :tongue:

    There would actually have been no reason to justify yourself this extensively or even at all.

    After I posted my comment, I thought that I better would not have done my "thinking loud".

    It's not of my business anyway.

    It's just when I think about "Fleamarket", I don't think about 5% off the new price... but it's not of my business.

    Wow! Everybody should just grab for those switches - This is an amazing discount of 5.06%!!! And of top of that, imagine that you even get them out of 2nd hand. Not 1st hand... no, no... 2nd hand. Isn't that just a great deal? :sick:

    Sorry Didier, but I couldn't hold myself back and I'm still :no: my head.

  7. Faders for MidiBox 64

    If you have some of those to spare Roger, after you sort Stefan out, then I'll be happy to buy some from you and pay postage.

    Best Regards,

    Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

    Yes, I have some many of them spare but lets keep this topic concerned solving Stefan's "problem".

    I'll start a new topic in "Fleemarket" as soon as I'll find the time. Please be patient until then.

  13. I want to build a "console"-like controller

    I'm not completely sure about the mixer-core. - Is it existing or do you plan to program your own PC based Core?

    Because this is very decisitive of what your possibilities are regarding MIDIBox.

    If you plan to design your own core, your possibilities are nearly unrestrainedly, if not, your limits are basically bound to your host's/core's possibilities on how the controller-protocol is implemented.

    PS: ... and please forget about POTS (unmotorized) if your looking forward to design a Central Control Section. - You wouldn't like it :blink:

  19. MIDIbox of the Week: Bass Guitar with integrated learning help by Graham

    in MIDIbox of the Week

    Good work and nice idea!

    I cant help thinking that this will be cloned very soon,

    and sold commercially as a musical education instrument.

    ... I can remember that this was commercially available about 15 years ago and I had the same idea 20 years ago. When I was at GIT in LA, Gibson made a contest among the students. They wantet us to design the guitar of our dreams. The winner would get his guitar built by Gibson Customshop. Certainly they just wanted to collect our ideas for free. - The winner was a student with the idea of a 12 string mandoline... how stupid! But it probably was the cheapest to build and Gibson would get all the other brilliant ideas for free anyway ;-).

    Part of my idea was also having the dot-LEDs to show scale patterns and as a show effect for stage performance (blinking patterns with a "tap" function to be in the same groove as the song).

    I also requested Hex-Picups, each coil with independent volume and tone controls in form of trim-pots and the pickups were mounted on two steel rails to adjust azimuth and position. I also suggested a "feedback to the second humbucker coil" for sustain enhancement... which a few years later was sold by Seymour Duncan. There were several other gimmicks planned, which I can't clearly remember anymore.

    Ooops... sorry Graham, hopefully didn't get too off topic.

  21. Behringer buys Midas and KlarkTeknik

    in Miscellaneous

    Posted

    Shall be interesting to see how this affects things. Hopefully there will be some good, value for money type products for low budget hobby folks such as myself.

    I first was shocked. Then I think it will be interesting to see what happens. Does Midas add value to Behringer or does the opposite happen?

    Have you seen the comment on the link's page? "Cool! XL8 for $99" :yes:

  25. Can I use this trackballer

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    and also i looked at the Schematics and I dont know what is BTN on the pcb board??

    Read! :blink: ... From the link you posted: "...An SMD momentary switch is placed under the trackball to give you a select switch. The BTN line will be pulled low when the switch is pressed..."

    How it works...?

    From the Hall-Sensor datasheet: "...AN48841B Low current consumption, high sensitivity CMOS Hall IC Operates on Alternating Magnetic Field (low-speed rotation for lock detection)..."

    -> it seems to switch high/low on change of the sensed polarity. But I don't understand how it can tell you about the direction. - Assumed, the paired magnets have exactly the same polarity position (can be, since they can "freely spin", they are not "locked" to each other), how could you find out the direction?

    I think you have to buy one, connect it to an oscilloscope and try to find out more.

    PS: Connect to DIN
