You can buy them from "x-keys" as well, like the caps (Cherry Key Switches). http://www.xkeys.com/access.php#switches You don't have to buy the caps, you can have 'em for free from me. I bought caps from x-keys too and they first sent me the wrong ones, the ones you want. Since it was their fault and sending them back from Switzerland to USA would have gone on their account, they offered me to keep them for free :D (excellent service by the way). Greets, Roger PS: If you want them and you're from USA, I can send them to SmashTV, together with the fader bulk next week.

... there is nothing to amplify to 5V. It's meant, that since you don't have the full rotation of the pot (only 40%), that you don't reach the zero position (no resistance). I don't know about it will work with midibox when you calibrate the pot. Greets, Roger

... No forbidden questions... I'm just to stupid to have an answer :-* And I'm propably not the only one ;D Greets, Roger

Hey George Please read everything on ucapps.de "MidiBox LC" ... I think it's ready to download http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_lc/midibox_lc_leddigits.pdf ... from the MIDI Out of your host to... http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_lc/midibox_lc_ledrings_meters.pdf ... you don't have to build all of the controls but you're limited by the possibilities of your host or the LC protocol ... it does Greets, Roger

... really impressive! Good work. Greets, Roger

O.k. the order has been placed. :D BTW: I updated my own amount of the faders to 28 pcs. ... so there's no extra faders but the price/pce falls to €13.40. Greets, Roger

... yepp! There are some other people, who thought the same ;) http://www.euphonix.com/post/products/mc/mc_guidedtour/mc12_faders_joysticks.htm Greets, Roger

O.K. then everybody: The order goes out this monday. I prepay the faders and you'll get mail from me later. The guys from Albs even send me some shock-absorbing bags for my individual shipping packs. Greets, Roger

... it doesn't matter for the host application, which type of motorfaders you use. The faders have to work within the MidiBox, the rest is a implementation thing of the MIDI-protocol of your host. Greets, Roger

... this is correct! Greets, Roger

...??? Was hat dies mit dem Display von KAZU zu tun? ::) -> neue Topic Greets, Roger

I'm on it guys! - Just a short time from now. Thanks for the patience! Greets, Roger

.... you can't compare that. In DAWs, the host is doing the log calculation. In a MIDI Controller, it's a linear ratio of position to loudness. I think you can't really mix anymore when you reach the top end of the fader position. And making a nice sounding fade with a hardware fader, is like learning to play a musical instrument... you get used to the speed it takes to get the fade you'd like to hear. - Imagine, you suddenly have an absolute different ratio of movement to loudness behavior. :( Greets, Roger

... I think they're SIFAM to: http://www.sifam.com/2colpush_on_result.lasso?Type=Soft&SizeLabel=12mm&ShaftDia=&-Nothing=Go ... perhaps a custom edition. - Why don't send a Mail to SIFAM? Greets, Roger

Hey guys I received the o.k. from incarnation. I'm still in the process of evaluating the shipping costs... not easy, when you don't have the parts handy to make shipping ready box for getting the weight ??? - It's possible, that I order and prepay the faders before you guys pay me, it would make things easier. I could set the money free for a certain time without hurting my life ;) Incarnation might order more faders to reach 200 overall. This would mean: No extra fader but lower price per piece. You guys will hear from me soon! Greets, Roger

... the ones in the top row are "sifam" soft touch knobs: http://www.sifam.com/2colpush_on_result.lasso?Type=Soft&SizeLabel=11mm&ShaftDia=&-Nothing=Go Greets, Roger

.... Im still waiting for confirmation from "incarnation". But the delay is on my side! I sent him a PM now. If he's not ordering, the extra fader for everybody is gone :'( Greets, Roger

As far as I know: Nobody successgully yet Greets, Roger BTW: I'm also working on this ;)

Hey Taylor ... not exactly :( Let me explain: I guess you'll work with the LC protocol. So if you want 24 faders you basically need 3 cores (one per 8 faders) that's how the LC is implemented into the host. So your host software sends you the LCD information for 8 faders over MIDI over one hardware MIDI port.... and the same for the next 2x8 faders. Now just let's talk about the first 8 faders and at the end you just have to build this package 3 times. You can have two character displays per core. So you have two displays on your "basic" core, which also runs all the functions (... encoders, buttons, faders). Normally on this core you would read out the display information for the first display of fader 1 to 4 and for the second display of fader 5 to 8. But you only read out the information of fader 1 for display one and fader 2 for the second display. Now you send the same MIDI signal which feeds your "basic" core over the thru port to the NAND Gate, which amplifies the signal so you have three times the same MIDI signal containing the same infrmation (of 8 faders). Those three MIDI signals are feeding your 3 additional "display" cores. One of those three additional cores reads out and diplays the information of fader # 3+4 on it's two displays, the next #5+6 and finaly the last one displays faders 7+8. Greets, Roger

1. I wouldn't pass it through all the cores. Go from the host computer to the first core and from there over MIDI thru to a NAND Gate http://69.56.171.55/~midibox/forum/index.php?topic=4347.0 2. Yes: With 12 cores you'll get 24 character displays Greets, Roger

I received the weight per fader from ALBS and I will try to make up the individual shipping prices so I can inform you guys for payment. Greets, Roger

... try to get the datasheets of the faders from Mackie Greets, Roger

SURPRISE !!! Since we didn't reach 200 pcs, the price will be € 16.03/pce. So I'll receive (my part included) a total of about € 3'045.- . If I'll order 200pcs or more, the price will be € 14.42/pce. The total of 3'045.- devided by € 14.42 makes 211 pcs :D ... an extra fader for free for everyone as a spare part ;D We have orders for 14 people (chille included) so there will be 6 or 7 extra faders left over, which I thought, could be donated to TK, if he wants them. - What do you guys think? Greets, Roger PS: Please give me some time for the handling, I'm still very occupied from my work.

... o.k. I can make an exception, because you already "almost"Â ;) ordered and you have had to check your budget first. To everybody: Sorry I forgot to mention... Please include your shipping address with your "OK" PM, so I can check for the costs Greets, Roger
