Why are you so pissed? ;D ;D ;D :-*

1.Id like to have a switch that goes between Mute, Off, and Solo
... what if you want to Mute a channel of a Solo-Group?
I would go for what Illogic suggested:
I think the easiest way is to make one button for mute/on, and an other one for solo.Greets, Roger

I read that those meters aren't so accurate anyway, so is there any point in adding resolution to an already inacccurate meter?
I really don't know what I'm talking about ;)
... do they have to be accurate? Since recording with 24bits, your target is to know approximately where you are and that you don't clip.
While mixing with 32bits floating you probably never run out of "headroom" and when it comes to the Mixdown, you'll check your host's master meters so you don't peak the DA converters.
The crap with clipping within the digital domain of your system you only suffer with the poorest DAW system on the market... ProTools :P - 32bits FIX.

EDIT: After checking out another post, I'm now wondering.. can I have more than 11 LEDs in my meter arrays? I'm looking at about 20 :-\

... for LC: 16 per channel (16 x 8 = 128) but then you don't have any left over for the buttons

K if I don’t use motor faders and use plain faders and plain pots, then if I mix a session in cubase and then save and close it, return the midibox setings to zero and then load the mix session that I just closed, what would happen? I’m guessing the settings in the cubase session would be the way I saved them, but since the midibox controls are back to zero how would I continue?
... exactly. And when you move the pots on the controller a bit, the value in Cubase jumps to the value of the pot. That's why everybody (also the mixer manufacturers) uses endless encoders with LED-Rings for automated mixer control... except of Fairlight: They're using motorized pots in their Dream-Series Mixers.

I can't understand if it is the DAW which doesn't send the info to turn on the bank/channel buttons leds or if I made a mistake in the wirings.
... use MIDIOX to check about your host is sending the appropriate information

if 1 port supports 8 channels the how do those monster 24 fader midiboxes work? use more than one midi port on the same pc?
... yepp, 1 port for 8 faders
I have a new set of confusions in addition to the previous ones, which I still haves solved yet. I know I can connect the 3 cores with wires. But after I do, would I need to do additional programming to make the 3 work as one? I’m a lil confused about how midi merger works. Would I require midimerger?... see above! - each core connects over it's own port to the host
Is building a 3 core midibox a difficult project for a first timer?... yes :P

If I use normal fader and not motorized ones will my design then be correct with 2 core modules
...I dn't know Cubase but many DAWs only support 8 Channels per MIDI port.
do I need an LTC module...No, it's just a MIDI Interface over your computer's COM port
I add the LCD module?...Yes - Debugging
How do I make a digit display that shows bars beats and tick/hours minutes and seconds?http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_lc/midibox_lc_leddigits.pdf
This website has gotten me damn excited!!!... same for us ;)
I want to have a perfect design on paper before I start the actual build... good luck

I don't have the plans yet...
And I'm not building it into an existing console :S
First I will do a normal MIDIBox LC, and than trial and error, how to make it work as a analog mixer.
I was hoping i could get plans for something like an SSL 4000 or 9000. Maybe I could even get some clues how to get rid of the noise there (and build it too!).
I would still like at leat 8 busses and 8 auxes... :-\
Borut
... trial and error is how the "big boys" are doing it too at the end. Like DOC wrote, there are designing rules but that's not the whole real life. Sometimes there has just a transformer to be turned by 90° to get rid of a problems on a PCB. That's why everybody is prototyping ;)

Hello all!
First of all, thank you for this amazing project!
I'm thinking about building a costum analog console.
I don't know alot about this project or all the possibilityes of it, so I'd like to ask you midibox gurus,
Would it be possible to use it for automation?
Any way at all?
Thank you all!
... to tell you, that you're at the right place (at least for the controlling part of the console): Yes you can.
I think nobody has done it yet. Search the forum, there are some postings around, discussing your interrest.
Try searching with "mf", "log" and "fader".

an d not merely posting for sheer numbers.
... are you shure? You just posted twice in this thread for nothing. ;)
Common guys! Reading this whole thread took me more time than reading or better overlook the nonsense responses.
Greets, Roger ... and I'm not pissed off :-*

I have found that some models of the Via Epia Mini-itx boards comes with a LVDS conector, the manual tells to can conect to some lcd panels. Can be conected to any panel? how can I find with panel would work?
... most Laptops use LVDS connection and those panels you get cheap from surplus resources.

... I once read in a "moebius-posting", that for the Bourns-Encoder you have to select Encoder mode: "DETENTED2".
I'm not shure, about this is the solution, but it might help you to find out.

... that's allright like this. Just remember, that parts have different hights, so you propably can't put all the controls on to the same breadboard.

@rabbit: Sorry das ich etwas schroff reagiert habe, aber wenn man in mehreren Foren unterwegs ist und immer wieder den selben spruch bekommt das man sich einfach noch mehr mit alten Beiträgen beschäftigen soll, statt einer einfach Antwort auf ne Frage zu bekommen reagiert man zunehmend allergisch drauf.
... schon gut, musste mich ja auch rechtfertigen. :-*

Schade das es von manchen Menschen die schon einiges an erfahrung in einem bestimmten thema mitbringen, zuviel verlangt ist, einfach zu sagen:
Du willst dies das und jenes, also brauchst du 2x modul 1 und 3x modul 2.
mehr will ich doch garnicht. und kein fertiges design mit schalt- Frontplattelayout- und Verkabelungs-Plan und sonstigen Einzelheiten. Stattdessen schreiben diese Leute blöde kommentare, die keinem weiterhelfen sondern einfach nur den Lehrmeister raushängenlassen wollen. Tolle Leistung.
... dies war kein blöder Kommentar, sondern absolut ernst gemeint... aber nicht böse ;)
Sozusagen die Kurzfassung, wovon MTE schreibt:
....habe selber ungef. 1 Monat gebraucht,bis ich das System verstanden hab,aber wenns mal drin is isses easy... und dass ich durch die Anzahl Posts "MidiBox-Guru" genannt werde, heisst noch überhaupt nichts :P
Wünsche Dir aber trotzdem viel Erfolg beim MidiBoxen

Habe mich jetzt ein paar Stunden in die Page reingelesen und bin total verwirrt. Aber vll. findet sich ja jemand, der mich auf den richtigen weg führt...
hm.. jo die page hab ich auch gerad schon gefunden.Was jetzt wirkloch noch interessant wäre, ist welche module ich brauche.
... dann waren die paar Stunden nicht lange genug ;)
Wenn Du Dir Deiner Konfiguration nicht sicher bist, darfst Du sie gerne hier posten und Du wirst bestimmt Hilfe finden. - Dass man aber von Beginn an Deine Box "designen" bzw. die Hardware zusammenstellen wird...? Ich denke eher nicht ::)
Greets, Roger

Cool!!!
Even I just bought ProTools LE only for staying in "expert-user-shape" since I'm not working professional on the TDM anymore at this time (most jobs require PT experience these days :( )... now I can use a MidiBox for keeping up the fun :)
Thank you for the effort!

1. If I have a midiboard with 8 channels (faders ... mute, solo, pan, gain, meterbridge) ... is there the opportunity to switch between channel 1-8; 9-16.... like it is in the digital consoles
... yes: "Bank" left or right
2. is it possible to work with a "master channel section" ... that I just have one eq controller where I can choose the channel to edit ( the same for fx sends ... )... I think it's over the "V-Pots" (see Mackie implementation)
2. b.: is this also possible for the vst plugins ... can I have one dynamics section where I can choose which channels I want to edit???... I think it's as well over the "V-Pots" (see Mackie implementation)

POS keyboards (Point of sale or cash register)

... make shure to keep the electronics of the POS keyboard! I use it to map different keyboard shortcuts of functions not available by the host's midi-implementation as "one-button"-commands (instead of always pressing: ctr+C, ctrl+V etc.)
