[MB-6582 progress]

Took a couple pics last night. Got the baseboard assembled and working a couple weeks ago. Got my mouser order yesterday, but unfortunately I ordered the wrong stand offs. But I couldn't resist assembling it dry to see how its gonna look. I am so excited to get this thing finished up.

Don't worry Wilba, nothing is soldered. So far I have followed your advice to the letter and assembly couldn't have been easier.

More pics here. I'll post some pics of the finished product next week sometime. Also some other mb projects.

[MB-6582 baseboard part kits]

There must be quite a few people who have the parts kits now... How's the building coming along?

I have been meaning to make a post soon. Last weekend I decided to start to work on my baseboard. I started around 9 or 10 am. At around 11pm I had all 8 Sids playing perfectly! I was absolutely amazed at how well this was put together, thanks to Wilba, TK, Smash and everyone else involved.

Following Wilba's construction guide I did not run into a single problem. No debugging was necessary. All of the Sids worked just like expected. Now I just need to make a mouser order and I can finish up the control panel. Hopefully that part will go just as smoothly. Oh and to top it off I did it all with a crap radio shack iron, although I did completely burned two tips down to a nub doing it. I must say that it sounds amazing. Much better than I expected even. I'd be glad to answer any questions if I can.

Thanks again everyone,

Luke

[PIC16F88 based MIDImerger]

Thanks TK, I was just thinking about a merger. This will be a good reason to build a pic burner.

[Cherry MX Switch with led]

Does anybody know if these can be mounted to the same pcb/board as smash's encoders and get an even/balanced height?

I'm using non-led cherry mx switches for my sequencer, and I have found I need to custom make my pcb to mount these switches securely. I'm using the non-tactile version of the switchs. I prefer them to the soft tact switch which has just a little bit of a click, if you even want to call it a click. They are very nice durable looking/feeling switches.

I had no idea a sid could sound that good. I'm so glad I got in on wilbas boards. Thanks again for such great work.

[MB-6582 PCB Order ***IMPORTANT UPDATE***]

Just got my pcbs today. Wow is all I can say. Totally amazing. They look even better than the x0xb0x pcbs. Smash I will defiantly buy a components kit if you put it out there. This community never ceases to amaze me. Thanks to all of you.

[Update display on group change.]

When I change groups on my MB64e, the lcd shows me the state of the last group I was in. Is it possible to have it update the display to the current state of the group you are switching to instead?

Thanks,

Luke

[Button groups]

I believe this is the post you were talking about with the shift button.

Works great for me. Just thought I would pass it on. Thanks to neomorph for figuring this out.

[MetaEvent help]

I always liked teachers that made me figure stuff out on my own. I finally got it. Im sure its not the most elegant technique, but it works for what I need.

Thanks.

[MetaEvent help]

Well i dont want to do anything too fancy, and I thought this is why TK has built in the meta events section. I just want all the normal functions of the mb64e with a couple of custom things.
