ça y est , j'ai réussi à faire de chouettes caps pour tact switch... Ces petits caps sont en vente sur notre site, à un prix défiant la concurrence (si il y en a une) ;) : 2 euros les dix caps. je vais commander début aout un lot de tact switch pour pouvoir proposer des kits complets. je vous rappelle que tout ceci est fait dans le cadre d'une asso (à but non lucratif), ce n'est que la première étape....;) donc merci à nos premiers adhérents, c'est avec l'argent de leur adhésion que nous avons acheté le matériel nécessaire.. Si ça interesse quelqu'un, je peux aussi réaliser des pads type MPC en sillicone souple pour utiliser avec l'appli din_velocity...

salut, MTE sur la partie allemande du forum propose des écrans (2*40) à 5 euros ... si quelqu'un est intéresser, on peut lui passer une commande commune pour économiser sur les frais de port...

i use resin, the same used to build boat, mixed with a product called here "durcal", it's a kind of marble powder. i use a tiny quantity of pigment in powder that can find in art shop..

:D that's great!

....between 3 and 6 euros via standard mail service, depending on the weight...that not too much...

yes you can... but as you're far far away from me,maybe it could be usefull to know how much will be the shipping cost, i will take a look for that..

stryd one: i will do as many part as i can until the mold die... i suppose not before one or two hundred of buttons..and it's often possible to do another mold after that...you won't be annoying asking a lot of them, just keep in mind that it's take to me about 2 hours to make a bench (it's mainly the time to let the resin get dry)...so you won't have them "same day delivery" ;) of course it's possible...

the new bench: look really nice! (i'm happy!!!!): no more bubbles, the buton is opaque when no light, and now the light is well diffused over the whole buton! ;D ;D ;D (the photo may let think that the light is just in one point, but it's not the case, it's really hard to take a photo that is as nice as the buton itself ;)

hi, the mold are done well, except for the datawheel. i've done a first session, but the result is not what i want: a lot of tiny bubble in the resin, the surface is perfect but not the inside. secondly, the button are too clear, the light of the led isn't diffused well in the button, so when the led is lighting, it's visible.. but they're perfect for me, i will do better this afternoon... some pics: the photo make the bubble more visible than they are in reality and here, how to mount them on the pcb, using the legs of the leds, just put a tact switch below... if you're interrested, as the mold are done, i can do some for you, i think 2 Euros for ten parts (with leds) is a good price, the mold cost me about 15Euros, add to this the resin (not so costly) and the leds , you see that's a non-profit adventure... i will buy this days a lot of tact switch to be abble to provide a full kit, the final purpose is to have great buton for cheaper than in commercial place...

salut, j'ai repris ma réalisation de caps pour tact switch et de knobs pour encodeur, vous pourrez suivre le devellopement de tout ça ici: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=4997.msg47707#new

ok, now the work: 1. the mold: the RTV silicone and the "catalyseur", and the tools to do the mix (3% of catalysor for 100% of silicone) first, you have to put just a fine layer of silicone to cover the caps you want to mold, and take care: the bubbles are our ennemies!!! : as you can see, i'm molding a datawheel too ;) and the mold finish: ok, there is nothing to see.. tomorrow, the resin and the first molded caps...

there is a "dot" on the round cap that stop the travel : view side: --- l l ----- <--the dot hope this explain what i mean for the cube , i will try to make keep a sheet of silliconne under , so they won't fall. but i don't think i will do other cube button, cause it's hard to drill panel by yourself for such buton. Aother hint would be to a large and fine sheet of sillicone wher it would be possible to past all caps of a set of button (a sheet as large as the panel... i use standart clear resin, and use "pigments" (better in polder) to add color, but be carefull, some pigment make the resin darker and then don't let the light of leds going thru. for my side , i simply use a product called "durcal" that color the resin in white but let it translucide.the final colour is given by the integrated led for the sillicone rtv, i've used a black pigment, but here ,be carefull, with some pigment you could have unexpected chimical reaction (for example your silicone could go hard as soon as you put pigment in it)

thanks for the link, i think i will order some of them one time caps are done...maybe a workaround would be to do little pads (eg only 2cm*2cm), not the great for playing, but probably more efficient..

hi, i use RTV silicone to make the mold and the rubber pad, and resin for the light buton. i don't know if conductive RTV exist, but i think you can easily past a fine layer of conductive material on the back side..or to use plastic layers as know from the pc keyboards , there is some manufacturer that can do such things on the web. for the while ,i haven't find the right type of butons to use with the rubber pads, they must be as large as possible and with the shortest travel...

i never test the P3 seq, but as user of the MBseq, i can say that you will find anything you need with it, sure!

i've just bought the materials to do a new series of caps for buton and knobs, i will post here photos of my work to make a clear tutorial.. for the while, i've just done two pics of the work i've done last year: first , a plastic button with a led integrated: http://soundandbreakfast.ifrance.com/divers/bouton%20light.jpg second: a "mpc" type pad, sorry, it have take the dust since last year ;) http://soundandbreakfast.ifrance.com/divers/bouton%20mpc%20pad.jpg third, a rubber caps, work really fine with tact switch... http://soundandbreakfast.ifrance.com/divers/bouton%20rubber.jpg sorry for the quality of the pics... i will do new series during this august month, that will be available on our web site (not for profit, just to keep our investisment back, to do better the next time ;)

Don't say "semtex", it's a product to make bomb! the CIA will think we do detonateur with just a CORE and a Dout module (Maybe the next MIOS toy of the week!! ;D) for the CEM ship, all datasheet are available @ http://www.synthtech.com/cem for free, for the paia synth, all schematics are free too : the fatman : http://www.paia.com/fatmwork.pdf for old synth, if you want to clone one : http://www.synthfool.com/schm.html here are the schematic of the prophet VS that use ,for example, the CEM3379 chip (24db lowpass filter + VCAs..

hi, quote from the core page: the potentiometer 1 drive the backlight luminance..

ok, i will see what is possible to do with my knowledge, if that's too complicate i will simply take the mbsid app to generate env and lfo.. also: i've tested the aout-lc with my cem3378 filter :that's rock!

Hi, we added five song, the last recording session in our studio... this song are techno/hard techno style, done by JULIEN from Bayonne, France. JULIEN is playing with one Electribe MX and one ELectribe SX, connected to a DJ mixer. Mastering done with Creamware sound cards and some analog gear.

Hi, is it possible to use the analog toolbox with the aout-lc module?

hi, i get stuff for my studio here: http://stores.ebay.fr/Atous-Fiche-Cable-AUDIO-VIDEO this seller is in france.

thanks...let's go build one now.... :)

the fatman from PAIA :http://www.paia.com/fatman.htm use a VCO based on a simple 555...

i'm talking about r50 and r52 in http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_aout_lc.pdf...
