the only laminator that i ever used came with plasticy cardbord folder type things that you were suposed to put anything for laminating inside, that stoped things movining arround so much.

oh well shit i guess, il have to get a new one tomorow

i put the opto in back to front ??? will this fry it? i turned it arround as soon as i noticed but i cant seem to get anything into the box now? thanks ed

The point is that if people buy a midibox knowing zilch about how it works or how a soldering iron works, etc. then a year down the line when it breaks down cos it was made by someone with less than brillant soldering skills comes back (here) and wants support for something someone else made money on. And thats just not quite fair. If people want to make money out of midi boxes, they could (i think), sell components and kits like smash and mike, do soldering classes etc, or offer support for people who have problems, for example i have no problems with someone coming on the forum,and after lots of advice and trying someone saying put it in a jiffy bag and il fix it for a couple of quid or something but selling boxes kills the whole diy thing off and doesnt encorrage people to do stuff for themselves. kits & support etc make it more likely that people will give the diy thing a go.

get a chasie mount one, the ones with the chrome type bit arround the socket, the pcb mount plastic ones a total lame shit ed

thanks

have a search round there are litraly hundreds of apps that are free / cheep and can do this, but most of them will be crap. for linux there is adour http://ardour.org/ witch seems to be fairly good. stuff is more lacking on windoze i think there may be something called multitrack studio that would be ok ish, the demo version suports 2 tracks of audio and 5 midi or something and on the mac, garage band (duh) ed

well i should have said geeky sense of humor or something then ;)

anything will do but the sub d is big enough to fit the eeprom inside

sorry i tend to have a bad sense of humor

I have some 24LC256 and some 24LC512 eeproms from microchip can i have both types attached to the midibox at the same time?

you will also need some sort of host aplication to get the output into word ;)

well as far as i can tell from this page http://www.protools.com/compato/osx/mbox/midi.cfm protools 6.7 suports cm and hui http://69.56.171.55/~midibox/forum/index.php?topic=2853.0 has some stuff on the mios cm emulation witch seems to be the way to go with for pro tools stuff, and some spec stuff on the cm protocall is here http://www.cmlabs.net/MotorMix%20V%201.2%20Developer%20pkg3.pdf there is some interesting stuff here on controlling protools with a generic controller, however as the JL Cooper CS10 isnt on the properly suported list of controllers anymore it seems a bit dated http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may04/articles/protoolsnotes.htm http://akwww.digidesign.com/support/docs/MIDI_Control_Surfaces_6.1.pdf

well that looks realy cool. pehaps the pads should be tinned or something cos they might go green with all the touching

well i found these on maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1490&TabID=1&source=15&WorldID=2&doy=14m3 there not exactly what i wanted as they have a latching part to clip into a matching header, but hopefully i can remove them to glue 2 back to back to make a dil socket ed
