  1. Seeking opinions on XP / Vista

    Both gutsy heron, and 8.04 cocked up the video for me, also both couldnt detect my broadcom wireless adapter, so it was goodbye to  Ubuntu. No way am i prepared to type out a page of commands to fix driver issues -

    if you do it for a midibox why not for your own computer?

    being forced to use command lines is something that should stay in the 80's imo!

    no i think it s something for the curious and brave, you can stay out.

    ok Jeffrey 2 beers are heading towards you

    The beer culture in Netherlands is a bit different from, for example, Belgium and Germany. Beer is regarded as either a delicacy or just a way to get drunk, the latter being predominant among youngsters who are allowed to consume alcohol from age 16.

    Anyway next week im on microsoft tech-ed barcelona and have a few side meetings with some product managers. I hope i can slip in some better midi acception in windows 7. They tend to listen on those meetings Wink. If you have any advice or wishes i can bring along tell me...

    yes i have a small package you may drop by in the area but please take a walk in the city afterward for a couple of hours....  :P

    Vista is good. People make it look bad cause they don't know how it works.

    oh I am sorry mr Gate but i am too dumb to use your latest OS i fully understand and appreciate your effort on delivering the best OS experience ever and I apology for being such a dumbdick, i promise i will take advantage of any Vista learning course that you may organize, by payment, of course, in the nearest city

    I also want to thank you for embedding your OS on nearly 90% of the computers out there, so i don t have to waste any neuron cycle to think about which one to choose and i can use that energy to do basic tasks like Windows-Windows file sharing.

    Your devoted and faithful

    You can go for vista but keep in mind your pc must have: 2gb ram minimum + intel core 2 duo for a smooth machine.

    Sorry i can t buy such a machine right now, i am a carpenter and have a daughter, sir, so i can t buy a new machine everytime an overpaid OS developer decides to enhance my OS experience (ooohh i am c****g), in my Linux machine i can t turn all the nice Compiz features (which i don t use anyway) on and off, and i run it on a 1Ghz machine with 512Megs and it even serves as an audio production machine,not that i make music, just in case. dig that.

    If you have vista sp1 then a ton of drivers are included (for those people that whine)

    maybe they whine cause they paid for something that is supposed to work out of the box.Vista before sp1 was a rather expensive virtual paperweight, so i don t think it s a real nice policy to USE YOUR OWN CUSTOMER AS BETA TESTERS, in the Open Source world you are usually asked if you want to participate in the development process.

    Can you imagine buying a PIC with a mandatory MIOS installed and having to pay TK for that even if you are going to make a flashy xmas tree decoration?

    Now i have to pay you a couple of Grolsch to make up for this post, and hey have fun in Barcelona.

  10. usb power via gm5

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Posted

    hi

    any USB hub will offer max 500mA, 5 volts.It is usually not recommended to power boxes with the USB hub but i did it a few times without any big issue.

    So yes you can do that, nothing special top be done on th ebox, but 400mA can be quite a threat, some transient current load and your lappy goes blank.

    Cheers

  13. Noisy shift registers

    in MIDIbox SID

    What am I doing wrong? Maybe there's another 'solder on the bottom side' part I forgot to put in?

    have you placed the bypass caps on the bottom side? you can also try to solder a 100uF polarized cap at Vin in the DOUT module, but i can t guarantee it will stop the noise.

  14. my new video: alchemy of the worlds

    hey Matteo

    Stryd_one is right, placing music on you-tube is like drinking coffee with salt, what i am doing lately is uploading a video to youtube and link there to the same video on good quality, no flashy servers like Vimeo.

    Nice work, i was just a few days ago at a Stephan Micus concert, i am sure you would have loved it!

    ciao

  17. DOUT pin numbers swapped for each SR

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    74hc165 and 74hc595 have a different I/Os pinout

    iirc:

    DIN - DOUT

    0    -  0

    1    -  1

    2    -  2

    3    -  3

    4    -  7

    5    -  6

    6    -  5

    7    -  4

    but i am not sure atm, i ll check it out

    Simone

    EDIT: sorry i see you have smashtv boards where you can see the pins numbering, just ignore my posting

    EDIT2: sorry again (at least for being so imprecise) but now i reckon something, when i built my first board with douts and the pinout of the DOUT was not consistent so that it looked like this:

    DOUT - DOUT

    (ICpins)-(MIOSpins)

    0    -  0

    1    -  1

    2    -  2

    3    -  3

    4    -  7

    5    -  6

    6    -  5

    7    -  4

    1) There are approximately 155 totally unique physical position stamps per rotation of the record. These physical position stamps can be read by the software whether the record is spinning in the forward direction, or in reverse.

    2) The duration of record playback at 33-1/3 rpm is 12 minutes 40 seconds per side, and each side of the record has unique position stamps.

    3) Ms Pinky's software reads a new physical position stamp every 11.6 milliseconds when the record is played at 33-1/3 rpm.

    4) Ms Pinky's software reads new velocity and direction information every 0.725 milliseconds.

    As opposed to other commercially available "timecode" vinyl systems, Ms Pinky's vinyl can function as a generalized controller in the digital dimension. With Ms Pinky's vinyl, users can cue up and scratch digital audio files as if they were tracks recorded on a vinyl record. And many more exciting possibilities exist thanks to the fact that all digital control data derived from Ms Pinky's vinyl is available to other software clients to use in almost any way they wish. For example, you can use Ms Pinky inside the Max/MSP/Jitter graphical programming environment to scratch audio, video, and just about anything. C/C++ developers on Mac, PC, and Linux platforms also have access to all Ms Pinky control data through our SDK.

    + sound card latency of course
