Damn it, ive paid for my GM5 boards, but they havent arrived, and already there is this... does any one want 5 GM5 single boards??

Whats happening about the Australian order, has this been sent to Wilba yet?

dont mean to be pushy TK, any news yet?

I don't think TK is taking payment until he receives all the parts. which I believe is some time in the next 7 days. Just be patient, he has alot of emails to send, and alot of chips and boards to package and send off.

OH good thing i double checked the stock codes... The midi plugs from Rockby are 180 degree sockets.... not surface mounting like the ones from Jaycar... so we may have to order the midi ports from Jaycar, they are cheaper from jaycar anyway.

hey Stryd_one.. i just updated my wiki page with stock numbers from Rockby, they are alot cheaper then jaycar for all parts. and also included bulk prices for both jaycar and Rockby

I called Jarcar, and they cant get a 16mhz crystal. Does anyone else in know an Australian company that sells them?

Parts list from Jaycar EDIT: i put this list into a wiki page http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/tk_gm5_jaycar_partlist

I checked this thread.. i might have missed it. but is there a list of the other components needed? just want to get all the parts so i can start asap :)

Wilba, Stryd_one.. and all other Australians. How many of you are ordering some of these? it might be worth one of us receiving all the parts and mailing them out from with in Australia? i could do it from Adelaide. Postage for a 250g satchel is $4 from Adelaide to Melbourne, or $7.40 for Express. the postage from TK in germany would be about $20 AUD including insurance and tracking Anyone interested?

use something like max/msp or puredata.. or even vvvv to make GUI, get a touchscreen.. then set up the software to output midi.. and program a midibox patchbay...

Ive been using Blender for quite a few years now, and i love it. mind you some people have complained about its lack of CAD capabilities on the blender user forums, and some people say it has a step learning curve, but i had no problem picking it up,

/ feels stupid :( thanks :D

Hey Stryd, sorry for got to mention your idea, but ive been expanding on it. stryd suggested that i have one array that records the midi on notes, and another that records the midi off notes, then compares the two. Nils, im making a sort of sustain pedal. so it will play each note that is stored once another button is pressed. ok, n00b question, im fairly new to C, but have used python in the past. when im trying to write to the array, but i get an error message on compile. im defining it at the start with const unsigned char midi_buffer[128]; and on this line midi_buffer[evnt0] = evnt0; it has the error message "error: assignment of read-only location" How do i write to an entry in the array? ive searched the net for C tutorials and they write an entry to an array this way. thanks, Levon

Hi, have had a search and cant find anything similar to this. so heres what i want to do. have a Midi keyboard plugged into my Midibox. the midi box monitors the incoming notes. when a button is pressed on the midibox, it stores all notes into an array. but it needs to take into account the buttons that have been let go. Im thinking, if i have an array, with 128 bytes in each, each address number is the same as the midi note number it references. ie, note 00 is in Midi_Buffer[0] and note 24 in Midi_Buffer[24] etc. then when a midi note ON is received, it stores it in the array address, and midi note OFF deletes it. just wanted to share my idea, and see if anyone had any other ideas. ,Levon

Up untill recently i worked at an Advertising agency as an editor making TV commercials, and DVD's etc.now im working at a media delivery company, delivering TV commercials to the TV stations via Satellite. and starting out as a freelance editor on the side. besides that i play guitar in a improv/experimental band, and starting a new band playing drums. i enjoy walks on the beach, quite nights infront of the fire and..... oh wait, this isnt speed dating lol

What i ment was, ie.. my pedal has sysex for Phaser speed, it only uses 0-62, x00 to x3E. so sending a pot that goes from 0-127, the pot will max out at 62, less then half way, turning the pot above that wont effect the pedal. so it needs to be scaled down.

Im making a similar midibox for controlling a Zoom G9.2tt, which mostly requires SysEx messages. if you use MIOS, sending SysEx is easy. the only difference is with a SysEx message, you are not limited to the same amount of bytes as a CC sending a CC you would use code like // send mapped CC value MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xb0); // CC MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x10); // CC number MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin)); // 7bit pot value Where as with SysEx you just have to send more data. // send CC value MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xF0); // SysEx Start MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x10); // SysEx data MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xA2); // SysEx data MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x13); // SysEx data MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x59); // SysEx data MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xF1); // SysEx data etc... MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin)); // 7bit pot value MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xF7); // SysEx End However, alot of midi sysex messages are not 7bit. my G9.2 has some that only go from 0-50, others that are on or off, one thats 10 bit... so you need to do some scaling of pots. hope that helps.

Ok, not quite fixed.. after closing the browser and coming back here today.. im not logged in, and after logging in all post are marked as read. i normally log into the forum by going to ucapps, and clicking the forum link.... which goes to forum.midibox.org, ill try going to midibox.org/forum from now on. thanks, Levon

if you use MIOS.. there is a simple example for doing exactly what you want..

Yep, Clearing the cookie seems to have worked. thanks :D

Im having troubles with the forum over the last few weeks.. every time i come here, i have to re log in... and once i've logged in and click "Show unread posts since last visit" no posts will show up. anyone else having this problem?

Right... thats a much better idea.... keep in mind that i replied at 5:30 in the morning... :P

The other problem is the DOUT is binary, so you could only turn each RGB LED on or off, making 7 colours (including white) to have it show the full range you would need to connect it to an AOUT

So its not possible to use J6, J8 or J9 with out using the appropriate multiplexers? only J5? i just want 8 switches, and maybe 8 LEDs. so if it was possible to attach 8 Buttons to J8 directly on the core, and 8 LEDs to J9 on the core that would do the trick. is that possible?
