I'm looking for the latter: LCD and controls. Replicating the Jellinghaus programmer would be interesting, but probably too complex for me.

I have a Yamaha TX802, which is essentially a DX7mk2 in a rackmount chassis. I'd like to get an actual DX7mk2 one of these days, but I don't know -- the TX802 is so compact and convenient. I just now hatched the crazy idea of replicating the user interface of a DX7mk2 with Midibox hardware. Does anyone know if it's possible to communicate with a TX802 over midi to make this gizmo work? I'd appreciate any ideas and suggestions you may have.

Drunk-post?

I've heard stories about the UM-1G having weird problems. I have a MOTU Fastlane and an E-mu Xmidi 2x2. Both of them work very well with Linux.

Item number 320643444235 on Ebay is billed as a "MidiBox 4x4". It's a 4-in/4-out USB-to-Midi interface. Anyone have any ideas of its provinence?

I just finished my sammichSID and have noticed a problem with the audio not being entirely cut off when no key is pressed. This also manifests as an audible pop whenever changing patches, especially if I give the knob a good spin. What might be the problem?

In case someone wants some wash bottles for cleaning up after soldering, here's an Ebay auction for 250mL ones by Nalgene -- $8 for four: 160541124916

I'm pondering a wacky idea of, say, emulating a Minimoog. A Core32 module ought to be able to emulate the three oscillators at one voice. I wonder about more. Then have another core control the simulating core. Behold, the MidiboxMinimoog!

I did this and the compile went okay until this point: UploadWindow.cpp ../../src/gui/UploadWindow.cpp: In constructor ‘UploadWindow::UploadWindow(MiosStudio*)’: ../../src/gui/UploadWindow.cpp:46: warning: ‘void juce::Button::addButtonListener(juce::Button::Listener*)’ is deprecated (declared at ../../src/gui/../../../../../../juce/juce_amalgamated.h:36764) ../../src/gui/UploadWindow.cpp:66: warning: ‘void juce::Button::addButtonListener(juce::Button::Listener*)’ is deprecated (declared at ../../src/gui/../../../../../../juce/juce_amalgamated.h:36764) ../../src/gui/UploadWindow.cpp:71: warning: ‘void juce::Button::addButtonListener(juce::Button::Listener*)’ is deprecated (declared at ../../src/gui/../../../../../../juce/juce_amalgamated.h:36764) MidiSlider.cpp MidiMonitor.cpp MiosTerminal.cpp Linking MiosStudio build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `SysexToolWindow::SysexToolWindow(MiosStudio*)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN15SysexToolWindowC1EP10MiosStudio[sysexToolWindow::SysexToolWindow(MiosStudio*)]+0x92): undefined reference to `SysexTool::SysexTool(MiosStudio*)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `SysexToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN15SysexToolWindow25handleIncomingMidiMessageERKN4juce11MidiMessageEh[sysexToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)]+0x3d): undefined reference to `SysexToolReceive::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `OscToolWindow::OscToolWindow(MiosStudio*)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN13OscToolWindowC1EP10MiosStudio[OscToolWindow::OscToolWindow(MiosStudio*)]+0x92): undefined reference to `OscTool::OscTool(MiosStudio*)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `Midio128ToolWindow::Midio128ToolWindow(MiosStudio*)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN18Midio128ToolWindowC1EP10MiosStudio[Midio128ToolWindow::Midio128ToolWindow(MiosStudio*)]+0x92): undefined reference to `Midio128Tool::Midio128Tool(MiosStudio*)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `Midio128ToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN18Midio128ToolWindow25handleIncomingMidiMessageERKN4juce11MidiMessageEh[Midio128ToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)]+0x3a): undefined reference to `Midio128ToolControl::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `MbCvToolWindow::MbCvToolWindow(MiosStudio*)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN14MbCvToolWindowC1EP10MiosStudio[MbCvToolWindow::MbCvToolWindow(MiosStudio*)]+0x92): undefined reference to `MbCvTool::MbCvTool(MiosStudio*)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `MbCvToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN14MbCvToolWindow25handleIncomingMidiMessageERKN4juce11MidiMessageEh[MbCvToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)]+0x3a): undefined reference to `MbCvToolControl::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `MbhpMfToolWindow::MbhpMfToolWindow(MiosStudio*)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN16MbhpMfToolWindowC1EP10MiosStudio[MbhpMfToolWindow::MbhpMfToolWindow(MiosStudio*)]+0x92): undefined reference to `MbhpMfTool::MbhpMfTool(MiosStudio*)' build/intermediate/Debug/MiosStudio.o: In function `MbhpMfToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)': MiosStudio.cpp:(.text._ZN16MbhpMfToolWindow25handleIncomingMidiMessageERKN4juce11MidiMessageEh[MbhpMfToolWindow::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)]+0x3a): undefined reference to `MbhpMfToolControl::handleIncomingMidiMessage(juce::MidiMessage const&, unsigned char)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [build/MiosStudio] Error 1 make: *** [MiosStudio] Error 2 zaphod:~/proj/synth/midibox/mios32/trunk/tools/mios_studio/build/linux$

Okay, I got the correct repository, opened up the Juce zip in mios32/trunk/tools/mios_studio/src/. Now I get this: zaphod:~/proj/synth/midibox/mios32/trunk/tools/mios_studio/build/linux$ make ==== Building MiosStudio ==== juce_LibrarySource.cpp ../../src/juce_LibrarySource.cpp:15: fatal error: ../../../../../juce/juce_amalgamated.cpp: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[1]: *** [build/intermediate/Debug/juce_LibrarySource.o] Error 1 make: *** [MiosStudio] Error 2 zaphod:~/proj/synth/midibox/mios32/trunk/tools/mios_studio/build/linux$ I don't see where the build process is getting these paths.

I'm having some trouble getting MIOS Studio for Linux. First, SVN doesn't seem to like this url: http://svnmios.midibox.org/listing.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftools%2Fmios_studio%2F I managed to get a tree using this command: svn co svn://svnmios.midibox.org/mios but I don't see MIOS Studio 2 in there anywhere. Please help.

This could be the beginning of something even more interesting. Consider the Chipophone.

Oh well. I'll see just how this PS sounds when I get it, then into the pile-o-stuff it goes. I need to get a real benchtop power supply one of these days.

Oh crud... Who has a good linear wall-wart?

Is that a bad thing?

Item 150521385822 on ebay is a 12V regulated 500mA power supply for about $10 total. The guy appears to have lots of them.

Thanks guys. It looks like the 1amp supply I've been eyeballing would have been overkill. Have you specced a power supply for the sammichFM? I'd guess that it would be 5 volts, but if it can use a 12V supply, that would help avoid mixups.

This is Midibox-of-the-month material!

Does anyone know just how many milliamps a sammichSID consumes?

I cleaned off the paint-pen paint with acetone (very carefully). Ultimately I ended up using Testors gloss white enamel paint. I overfilled the grooves, then sanded the panels down with 800-grit wet-dry sandpaper to get rid of paint outside the grooves. The result looks and feels excellent.

It does. Now I just need to get the rest of the parts for an MBSEQ.

Regarding the question of whether a SID is good or not, what's a good test to use? Some C64 program to fully check everything? Some MIOS program to fully check everything?
