Hi Jeffrey
Sorry, I saw this post a bit late but I still would like to donate.
Now with the new style, where is the "donate" link?

:D you may need a tiny tiny tiny magnet... because, you have to put many of this tiny tiny magnets on a tiny tiny disc...and because you need a better resolution then, one step by one turn :P
or you could take a magnet disc, and the take magnetic shielding stuff (What ever this is) that is easy to drill with a cnc, and then drill isolation areas in the stuff........ it then may look like a disc from a optical encoder.... then you put the shield-disc on the magnet-disc, and so on......... oh man too komplex...
It needs one radial polarized magnet in the center of the encoder spindle. The encoder works "analog", with hall elements and proximity ratio.

das ganze ist ein wenig widersprüchlich:
... und wo ist der Widerspruch?

Not more and not less than I need... I'm very happy with it! It's about US$ 200-300.

I think, the problem lies in the host's command handling. I'm not shure anymore but I think the LC sends an "off"-command, when the button is released again. He probably just has to configure the host to ignore the "off"-message, so the mute function toggles with each on command.
I can configure this stuff in Sequoia... don't know how it's handled in other applications, neither I know, which app "djahan" is using.

Hello djahan
First: In your reply on your post, you complain after 3 hours, that nobody has answered...c'mon... some of us are working, have families etc. ;)
To your question:
my probleme is that the contact is mommentary when I press the button , led ignites but that I the relache it turn off.
It seems to me to have read that we could assign has a button a position ON and OFF like a button mute
_pushed once the led remains switched on the function is activated
_pushed second time it turn off and the function is stoped
The thing is, that in the MidiBoxLC / Mackie protocol, you don't turn on e.g. the mute LED by pressing the mute button.
Turning the LED on is a feedback from your host software, that the Mute function of this specific channel is engeged. This way, you can turn the mute function on by a mouse click on your host's GUI and the controller will show you this state too.
So... you press Mute on your controller, which sends the message to your host (over MIDI) -> your host soft turns the specified Mute function to "true" and sends this state back to your controller (over MIDI) -> your Mute LED on the controller turns on.
Hope this is a clear description

OK, common this was not personally against you. Just a question to see the chip witout the tray!!!!!!!
I don't think that anybody is expecting an excuse from your side. I rather would expect one from somebody else.

Sehr gut!
Schade, dass es nicht das ist, was ich im ersten Moment gedacht hatte: "Endlich mal einer, welcher es wagte seinen Analog-Mixer zu MIDIBoxifizieren und es geschafft hat." - Trotzdem gute Arbeit.

Max 64 encoders:

I think I read somewhere, that additional 8 buttons can be hooked up to J5 of the core.
You can link cores if you need more controls than handled by one core:

There was a C project around that was called "MIDIbox MM", with MM standing for Motor Mix, which basically emulated the CM Motormix (which works excellently with ProTools).

What is the reason not to use a AIN? You're willing to pay big bucks on Infinium faders - What speaks against AIN?
-
erm... only about 5 mins or so to build it , assemble and render
... can you shortly explain the steps and the tools you're using? I don't know nothing about 3D designing, Are you using Freeware tools?
Greets, Roger

... PCB service??? :o

Even though this is purty and all - wouldn't such a thing belong into a PM rather than in a thread?
... if you look at the message - Yes.
I don't like to fall into the back of moderators but on the other hand it could be inspiring for others and I bet ssl aka. "Ikea" is proud of his work and wants to show it off.
Me on my side, I like looking at it while trying to find out how much time it took him to make this beautiful 3D render.

I fear that I might have come to the wrong place.
... depends on you and the way you want to go.
What you basically need:
1 GM5
1 Core
1 DIN
Buy it from Mike or Smash (with preburned PIC), solder it, hook it together like shown on Ucapps, connect the buttons and you're done.
Dump the software (with MIDIBoxE) onto it and configure the buttons. - Ready is the electronic part of your box.
... to do all this, it needs some reading (powersupply, connectors... ), nobody will explain to you step by step what's written on Ucapps.
Other way to go:
Connect the buttons to the LPT-port of your PC, write a simple app to convert it to MIDI and you're done. - Probably will need some reading too ;)

Hello Hachiko and welcome
1st: When do you need the project to be finished? Calculate enough time to learn basic electronics (you can learn this while reading the forum contributions). It's not good if you need your box done like in two month or so.
Start:
- Read as much as you can in www.ucapps.de
- Surf the forum
- Follow the links in the forum contributions to find special tipps, tools, distributors...
I would go for MIDIBox64E http://ucapps.de/midibox16e.html
For the integration into GarageBand, I have no clue. - I don't even know what it is exactly.

The based on the descrition this 10k too.
... well o.k. - I can't remember, where I have this from, that they should only be 5k.
How ever then this won't be an issue. The only one we don't have evaluated now, is that you only have 60mm travel. This is very different compared with 100mm and might be an issue considering the PMW cycle-speed. (Read "History": http://ucapps.de/mbhp_mf.html)
No other way than just try it.
Greets, Roger

Anybody about the motorfader???
Basically it should work. I don't know of anybody who already used them. As far as I remember, they are 5k instead of the usual 10k. I know of people who implemented 5k pots without motors and it was not od a problem to handle. The only possibility to find out: Buy one fader and try it out.

Can I wire up my buttons in strips of 4 using each vs pin?
So four buttons connected to pins 1-4 and their grounds connected back to vs on each strip? Instead of only using the vs on J5 and J6 in a chain?
... yes, you can.
May I also ask while I'm on the subject (and pardon my lack of knowlege, I am learning electronics as I go), what is the difference between the #numbers and the others? Can they still be used the same way? Why are some called snapshot, exec, right, left, F1, F2 etc.. and the rest are just numbered?
See in upper left corner ;)

1) First of all, is this a good idea? I don't really need a lot of functions (just the basic transport buttons, and ARM, SOLO, MUTE, and some others). Is this is a waste of a midibox project?
Yep, you could say it's a waste. - Not of the MIDIbox project but of your work. On the other hand, many have taken the way of first designing and building a small project and then took the bigger challenge.
2) And is this something for MB64? What are the minimum modules that I would need for this? I have no programming experience but understand that PIC can be pre-burned.
I would go for MIDIbox64E (light) http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_midibox64e_lc.gif
For information about the Bootstraploader: http://ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap.html
3) How difficult would it be to add an LCD display? (assuming I can make a hole in the keypad - or maybe I would use some of the space currently taken up by buttons) It would be nice to see CC#'s and other information
No problem to add a display
4) I don't fully understand how the software works, but if I build something like this, I'm assuming that I can use the buttons to assign the controller to whichever keys I want, is that right? And that the DAW will "see" the keypad connected as a generic remote controller, enabling me to assign the keys (using midi learn)?
Yes, this is correct
Sorry for all the newb questions. This is so exciting.
No problem, no need to apologize :)

What protocol would you use? The Mackie Protocol won't deliver you the needed information to access all your controls. You can't access the AUXs while you're in EQ-Mode etc.
On the other hand, using native mode, is probably not flexible enough.
