  1. I havent used a core32 in a long time so I cant comment on that but yes, the midijunction drivers. The current STM core works fine
  2. I havent had issues on 10 or 10AU but I am using the ploytec driver (1.3.3 IIRC), I DID have issues with the "Midibox GM5" one which is 2 version older than the current one. That being said, I still have the GM5 disappearing issue with multiple interfaces (I have 3 5x5s), I had some correspondence with ploytec about this and he said it was a USB hub issue with my motherboard but I dont buy that, it's a bug with the chip for sure. I've had these interfaces across 4 motherboards, various add-in USB cards, different hubs, 4 operating systems and the issue persists without fail. It's a nuisance more than anything but it would be nice if they acknowledged and fixed it.
  3. not even a dozen ppl. We will see what happens when with the TPM but this may just end up as files on the wiki for people to use.
  4. No, its about half that size with finer pitch
  5. the DACs are MSSOP which is fine pitch SMD. You dont need anything high powered but a fine tip is recommended. If you have not done anything like this previously, I recommend a practice board off ebay. The DACs are $22 each so you dont want to screw those up.
  6. Just a quick follow up, I simply snipped the +5V pin on the Dsub connector and powered it from the euro module, works fine..

    303 DIY

    Re303, hands down
  8. What is the current draw for these parts? I'm seeing some pull here as well.. The receiver actually gets warm on mine
  9. I have a pair. Pretty sure I have the VCA ones also
  10. > Is your shift button pulsing each quarter note when the sequence is running/ illuminated when held down to change modes etc.? I'm using an F1 Core, so it could be related to that Nope, not pulsing. > Did you configure the routing from the MIDI menu? You have 16 nodes to play with. What do you want to send where? I figured out what I was doing wrong, on the Jam page, you need to set the channel for the forwarder to work. I guess the next question is can those routing be fixed so midi input 1 can be routed to G1T1 (or whatever)
  11. Hm. Are you talking about the column above the shift button ? Seem to work fine here Unrelated: I am working on getting more inputs (namely a keyboard and drum pads) set up and I can seem to figure out how to get them to work correctly. The BLM keyboard mode works fine and the monitor shows activity on the input channels and I have the forwarders turned on for each track. I am sure I am missing something obvious, can anyone shed some light?
  12. We will see how it goes. 25 ppl is the critical mass for this. If we dont get there, I'll just release the files and people can get them made where ever
  13. So it is time to offer a bulk order of these boards. This will be a PCB only set consisting of the DOUT/Jack board and the Aout module that mounts on the back of it. I could also offer this with the liner driver receiver if there is interest for it and possibly a PCB euro panel. The module does this: 3x DOUTs for 8 5V gates, 8 clocks, and 8 Triggers 8x CV Channels via the MAX525 DAC with the Bipolar offset option. There will be an additional DOUT/DIN header on the board for linking to a Euro TPD module down the line The module is provisioned to be powered via 10 pin euro power header with the +5V being supplied either by the module itself or from the line extender. I tested both ways without noticing a difference but do recommend that it be powered internally. Pricing will depend on how many people order but expect ~ $30 for the set of just the DOUT/Aout boards Sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/1OGckjLWgzbw1sTq2 Also, a warning: This is an all SMD board, 0603 size passives, SOIC opamps, and the MAX525s are SSOP size, if you dont have experience with soldering parts like that, I recommend getting some practice boards off ebay until you are comfortable. This is not a beginner's surface mount project. Boards will be made by PCBway. I can get ENIG plating or leaded HASL. Leaded HASL is much better to solder to but is not ROHS compliant so input would be appreciated on that.
  14. Yeah, there is only so much time I can throw at this. I'm about to give away the rest of my VFDs, I have no use for them
  15. Couldn't disagree more. The sooner people move away from THT, the better. There is a whole thread worth of people at muffs that never held a soldering iron before that made up Mutable DIY modules successfully which are 0603 and have all sorts of fine pitch parts. If those people can do it, anyone can. SMD parts are available with better specs, more packing options, and there are many more parts to choose from. THT resistors/ICs/capacitors are going away, every year manufactures are dropping lines and there is less and less to choose from. Besides, I much prefer to buy a reel of 5000 resistors that will probably last me for the rest of my life for $10 than having to restock parts every couple of weeks with THT. More and more module makers are offering SMD kits and no one is really complaining. There used to be a standard PCB size for midibox projects which was governed by the maximum board size in the free version of eagle but obviously things have progressed since then.
  16. I say no wider than it needs to be. 14HP is just fine IMHO
  17. 0-10.68V by 4096 steps is 0.003V/ per step so it's reasonable. Maybe 1 millivolt is embellishing it a bit but its pretty close
  18. and calibration is done. Tracks like a champ, within a millivolt from 1.000 to 8.000 V. Tomorrow, the workout Also worth mentioning: I tested using bus power (+5V from the SEQ) and powering the +5 from the onboard supply and did not see any difference in noise on the scope. Oddly enough, the liner driver receiver gets pretty warm when powering it that way (it still gets +5 from the core regardless of how the other modules are powered). I'll leave the headers on the boards but at this stage, I recommend everyone use the onboard +5V supply
  19. Ok, preliminary testing done for the Aout portion and seems to work. Need to calibrate and give it a work out.
  20. the corrected boards are on their way from OSHpark so next week I'll finalize the testing I was thinking down the road a bit and adding a DOUT/DIN header so you can expand that chain to euro TPD module..
  21. And panel is in, everything fits!
