  1. 7 segment displays going cheap..

    Artesia (or anyone here),

    I couldn't help but notice these are common cathode. Is this any problem for the LED part of the MIOS code or circuits, other than just rearranging some of the wiring? I've seen a bunch of CC's that I liked, but was afraid to get ;)

    ... if you wanna use them for the LC Timecodedisplay, you need CA.

  4. 10 ALPS RSAON11M9 Motorfaders + Knobs for Sale

    Hi Roger,

    Thanks for clarifying that!!! I didn't realise it was so complex! Fortunately I didn't get stung for UK VAT at 17.5% (If that even applies?!? - I'm confused!)

    Tim

    ;D It's not that complex:

    All this was the thing which made it attractive, that I was doing the bulk order. VAT in Switzerland is only 7.6% and then I sent it to you as samples. So the UK didn't charge any VAT to you. The big difference of the VATs made it still affortable to pay the relativ high Swiss parcel service prices.

    So you could sell your faders for about €155.- (knobs included) and this is still a good deal for anyone interrested!

    Greets, Roger

    BTW: Don't forget to charge for the PayPal service, it's 3.9% of the transfer amount + € 0.35... it will be deducted from the amount you receive. I forgot and the receivers of the first faders I sent out didn't have to pay for this... I did  ;)

    Hey Fletch

    I think it's your problem, for which price you resell the faders but I think you should at least charge the brutto price for the material.

    I hope you don't care, that I print your invoice here. I also would like to make shure, that nobody thinks I charged you a fortune (€ 50.-) for shipping... there was no charge from me for my work (handling and organisation).

  12. Noisey Laptop Power Supply

    Cheers guys.

    Tried moving the soundcard power supply around, no change.  I don't have another firewire cable so I can't try that at the moment but should get one soon.

    ... I actually meant the Laptop PSU... since you get the noise when this one is plugged in  ;)

    Wow!  :( 26% that's a rip off! ...15% for the state and 10% for the mafia?  ;D ... just joking  :D

    What you could do:

    Ask if you can order the faders as a gift and they send it to a buddy of yours. So you actually pay the German tax (about 15%) and they  send it declared as a gift to your buddy. This is not illegal (just grey zone) as long as the payee isn't the same person as the receiver. - That's how it works with "amazon.de"

    Well I need the motorfaders as soon as possible, I'll order them from albs by myself (very expensive because of german taxes) . That was a bad hit, I could save a lot, but that's life. Thanks anyway

    ... what German taxes? You're from Italy, so you pay Italien taxes. ALBS won't charge you the German taxes when sending you the stuff (netto price), but when you receive the package, you pay the Italien tax.

    The reason, why I did the bulk order was that here in Switzerland we only pay 7.6% tax (Germany is about 15%) and then I sent out the stuff as samples.

    Greets, Roger

    PS: While ordering only 16 faders, you might get them cheaper from "conrad.de" (search the forum for the link, I think they don't sell those faders on their regular website).

    Hi screaming rabbit. What's the status of the motorfaders? New from the bulkorder in the bag?

    Hey SounDuke

    Sorry, but "Incarnation" sells them to a guy who contacted him first by PM. It's his decision to whom he's selling them. I don't care who was first and who not because I just waited for the information with whom I have to deal with.

    Sorry for the bad news for you but I think in just a short time there will be another bulk oder to be done. It won't be me doing it, since my time is so limited that it would take again much too long until everybody has the faders in their hands  :-\

    I can encourage everybody to do it since there wasn't one problem I ran into... everybody payed as quick as possible, evrybody took the faders they ordered.

    Greets, Roger

    PS: To a possible volunteere: Contact me to get all the information about contact to ALBS.

  24. Level Meters

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Heh because i could put them in a 2U rackmount box and have the box under my PC monitor, as it will be on a raised desk platform, so it would be easy to see the general picture of the mix. Yes, an option would be to get another monitor and have the mixer on one and  the tracks on the other, but then my monitor speakers probably wouldn't fit properly. Its just a matter of logistics really.

    ... well, that's a point. But can't you make the meters visible on the left side of each track in your software?

    Yeah i guess.. is there any way of using more than 11? If not, then yeah i might consider just having a clip LED above each channel on the LC, would be useful i guess.

    ... not with the standard LC-Design (there is a total of max. 128 LEDs)...  But you could run with two cores per 8 cannels. You build a regular MIDIBox LC and from the MIDI Thru of this core you go to the second core and use this one just for metering LEDs... so you'd have 16 per channel.

    I like the metering on the Digidesign Control 24 (I had work experiance in a recording studio so got to play with it  ), i was thinking of hopefully including a meterbridge (or external box) like that. Im sure it only has a few more LED's than midibox (around 15 i think).

    ... I don't like the control24 at all... too cheapy, noisy faders

    Lol, while im at it, is there any way of making a seperate metering device (in a rack unit for example), as this would free up space on my control surface (would fit in my room better:p)

    ... what for? In this case you can read the levels on your computer monitor. Level meters on the controller makes only sense, if they're in line with the channel strip.

    O.k. they look cool (Las Vegas  ;D) but if I'm honest, since they're not precise (with 11 LEDs) you actually really don't need them. What I'll implemant for shure, is a "signal" indication LED and a "clip" LED on each channel.
