Hello all! Unfortunally my time for diy/electronics is a little bit limited... so i'm selling this nice frontpanel for the sequencer. It's made in 2mm aluminium and its chromated (i hope this is the way to say it). It was made by a local company, costed me 45€ (i've made 2 one still as parts mount waiting for better days). If anyone wants it, pm or email me to lupinproject[at]gmail.com i'm asking the 45€ shipping included. Paypal accepted. Thanks all :) images:

The main problem using the softpots is the position memory, that doesnt exists... with a fader you have a mark telling you were the resistence is... with this one, theres no such thing. perhaps theres a way (software) that memorize the value in the PIC and when its touched again it changes...but without visual indication (a led bargraph would help telling you the position) is going to be a hell... if we could get a way to show the position in a led bargraph would be sweet... imagine a fader without knob and a bargraph showing the place were the knob would be ;) regards p.s. moogah...when you have the pinout let me know to compare, i've been able to find the switches but seems that the resistance of my pad is about 2Kohms... did you get thoses readings?

Hi gang! I've tested the Softpot, and they extremelly cool for making a ribbon controller! they have 100Kohms and 6' long (26cm). The X/Y Pad ... thats another story... since they dont have a datasheet (at least i couldnt find one on theyr website, but i'm requesting the pinout of the pad) i cant figure the way it works... they sended me some flyers talking about the x/y pad and there was a pic with the simbols of 2 variable resistors and 2 pushbuttons, but since there are 7 pins and no pinout i couldnt (yet) figure it out... i'm going to request the datasheet or pinout to the seller. For use with midibox... the softpot doesnt seem very good...since its always off until you touch the pot, then according to the place you press it gives you a resistance. If you touch the beggining it reads 0 ohms and the end 100kohms, if you slide your finger the readings go up and down, just like a ribbon controller. I'm not going to use it on the midibox project, but instead i'm going to build an electrotheremin using the ribbon controller to control the pitch and a simple pot for the volume. regards all!

i've requested a sample of the x/y pad and the softpot. i havent done any tests or readings with them, but from the papers they send, they seem to me to be like "normal" potentiometers. they dont send any voltages. but they can be used as regular pot's connected to AIN modules, but they dont save positions. i'm going to do the tests and let you guy know the results. i'm planing to use them on 2 diferent projects, one is an electro theremin , were i'll use the softpot (a ribbon controller for the frequency) and the other on a Filter module to control the resonance and frequency ( x/y pad). regards!

Ok.... bad news... The guy cant dig any SID's or even find them in is workshop... i'll try to ask him again, but i really dont believe in getting the sid's for us. Senso is a thrusty seller (i've made some bussines with him) and you can get is sid's before they are over ;o) if i get any news dont worry, i'll post them..until then... i need to apoligize to everyone for creating false expectations... sorry guys :( i wish it went as i have planned. regards

Is this possible? i've seen some pics of Midibox's LC's using this kind of LCD (graphic) and i would like to know if it would be ok to use it with sid. thanx :o)

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaat! :D best regards!

Nice tips and explanation! TK, dont worry, you dont have to worry about more work, i'm not going to give you ;o) Moxi, thanks for the excellent tutorial, i shall follow it. If i need more help i'll PM you :o) Best Regards, and standby for a portuguese version ;D

Hello TK! This one is a great ideia and i want to help. I'm able to translate to portuguese, but i'm having some problems... question 1: i downloaded the .html.gen file to my hd, and then opened with wordpad. i'm getting a lot of tags (like html). Is this normal? question 2: i've already translated part of the mios, but i've done it with notepad, (i didnt look carefully tyo your post, sorry ;o). is there a way to use this translated text to make the new page? Thanks and thanks! Best regards heitor

Hi Gang! Just to let you know that the SID's arent forget. My friend is looking for more SID's to make everyone happy. Right now no more "orders" are beeing accepted (sorry but i dont know yet how many are available). I'll keep you guys updated :) by the way... gordie... you sold them for how much? 40£? nice deal :)

Hey Wise! Do you know if they ship outside Sweden? unfortunnaly the website is in swedish only :( but they seem to have great prices. THank you!

i've ordered 5 of each joysticks from them. i can sell you one. just tell me wich one (the 10k or the 150k). my price is 15€ shipping included. pm me or mail me. best regards

:o its getting good looking!!!! lets see more when you have!! Good work! :) :) :)

c'mon guys... al i want is everyone to be happy. but thats going to be almost impossible. so i decided to make the fair distribuition according to the availability of chips. i really really hope that everyone gets some. But i cant tell how many yet, since the guy havent find them all yet. i just dont want to see anyone unhappy. i could have taken all sid's and sell them on evilbay, but my point is that this is a comunnity and i want it to still that way. no profit from this selling, just happy faces from you will be great :) i hope i made any sence, but its late, and i'm very tired ;)

A good way to get around that is to change the 4 AA batteries with a single 9V battery, that way you have enough power to get the machine working. By the way, use a Rechargable battery with more power, so you can always take care of the ambient :)

It's a very valid suggestion, i'm taking your ideia and apply it. I hope everyone agree's. stay cool

Ok, so fari have the following list of interested users: Metamorphosis - 3 non us Screaming Rabbit - 4 non us Airmailed - 2 non us ohmstudiste - 2 non us Afro88 - min 2 max 4 non us superbad - min 1 max 4 us mess - min 1 max 3 non us Drappel - min 1 max 4 non us Davo - 1 us SexyBeast - min 2 max 4 non us tatapoum - 2 non us i'll bee adding up the new users so its updated. depending on the availability of chips, the users will get at least the minimum desired, if not enough minimum to all, the firsts on the list get the chips. i hope this is a good way to keep everyone happy.. i wish my friend as enough chips for all in the maximum qt. but i cant be shure right now. : The first on the list is the first to get SID's. I hope this is the fair way to make this, but i'm open to suggestions. The payment must be made by paypal.The price for each SID is 15€ and shipping will be 4€ for any part of the world. This price may drop, but i cant give any shures. So , new users wanting SIDs must send me Private Message ONLY! Stay cool

Hey Rabbit! wen he finds the chips, i'll post the rev.numb. and the state of them (pullout nos etc etc). He is just looking for them. all i ask is for you guys to tell me your locations. US or non US, please :) stay cool

Ok, good news and not so good news... My friend is looking for the sid's in is lab... the sid's are all stored inside IC containers but since he as a lot of IC's he is having a little trouble finding them. The price is estimated between 10$ and 15$, each, plus shipping. He is located in the US, so us people looking to get the sids should deal with him directlly, the rest is to me. Why this? so that he doesnt have to go to a lot of troubles shipping things. He sends me the total of SID's that non-us interested want and i ship them to you. I'm able to ship worldwide for 4€ without registration and insure. So please send me PM with your location and number of sid's wanted (minimum and maximum). once again, they are all from a tech repair. i've buy 4 of them and they were working, but i cant give you any waranty , except they will be shipped inside anti stactic bag and IC tube. keep tuned for more news. haaa..the not so good news were... we dont know yet for shure how many sid's are available :|

hello! i havent been able to find any of thoses switches... so probably they are custom made for allen&heath... but with a little handcraft you can make similar ones... just put a ring of plaxyglass with the ITT buttons... i'm going to try to make one just for the fun and make a "how-to" for you all, if it works :D stay cool

hi gang! unfortunally i hanvent got any news for you, i'm still waiting for the reply from my friend. As soon i have news dont worry, i'll come here and let you guys know. stay cool my friends :)

I've found one supplier, but i havent enquery about stock... http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/esr/products3.html download the Resistor Product Catalog. They have there Center Click Pot's or as Smash sayd, center detent. prices in uk pounds hope it helps!

Hi gang :) I've recieved once 4 sid chips from this guy, and they were 100%. I suposed they were pull out, because they still have the termal compound on them. But they were all working, and the guy is 100% cool :) i've told him to come here (if he wishes) and make biz with you guys directly. i'll be back with more news later on :) p.s. i'm dont wanna make money out of this, if the guy doesnt want to come here and make biz with you guys directly i'll try to figure out a way to make the things easyer and cheaper for all :)

Hi gang! I have a friend that was a tech repair guy, and he as some of the 6581 SID chips laying around. Is anyone interested in buying some? tell me in how many you may be interested and i'll check with him to see if he as enough for all best regards Heitor

i have a 470 ohm resistor in all leds, blue and white should i replace for a lower one (i dont want too much bright on them) or i can go with a 8v power supply? thanks :)
