I never had any problem with hand/undetented encoders you can eventually chop the little lip off and use it as a toothpick. or as a boomerang for australian dwarves. as i ve told you dirt is your only enemy. simone

I advice everybody NOT to have a look at the Receptor s website, EVER.If you know a shop that has it try to walk away that road. yes this message for those without the bux to afford the beast. but hey yo xmas is coming soon ask Santa !!

R emember to check if the plugin can send midi output, not all of them can do it.Ableton does it for sure, exept for a few parameters, but if the plugin sends midi.ableton will transfer it to the midi output if any. simone

a) no idea, i don t think it s possible but i also think that everything is possible b)it is already there, when you actuate on a plugin with the mouse it will send a midi output (a small coloured square in the upper right corner will notify you), just remember to activate a proper midi device in the preferences simone

hi george it only detends the grid, but you have to bend the thingy inside and keep it flat with all the rest of the metal thing (???) then put back the whole thing, you can t do without it, it is very important that you keep the little lip as flat as possible without bending the whole metal stuff... there you go, take care of working in a clean surface with clean tools, those small encoders are as delicate as expensive,,, ciao

sorry for the off topic but #ARTESIA# i had a quick look at your website and ended up reading the article about supposed new technologies for hifi... just a few days ago i was telling to my house mate that his creativelabs 8.1 sound system sucks although the bux he put on it, it s a nice system to watch an horror movie but i don t even like horror movies and i can t understand how creative can sell this stuff as a modern studio recording system.. fortunately next week i will get my B&O BeoVox S45 a couple of nice speakers that i ve found in the trash in denmark.If my opinion didn t change my house mate s mind those speakeers will do for sure. simone

SLP if you want to use linux google planet ccrma, i tried 3 audio linux versions and ccrma gave me an easy install of packages, a stable system and a proper support.Drivers? that depends on your soundcards but right now drivers for most common cards are provided also for some USBs. good luck

hi i am working around an hardware implementation for not 0-5 volts sensors.I have pcb prints ready and all the components but no time to etch and test.The trick is to use a 7660 to get 9 volts from (almost) 5 i get from the usb and -9 volts from the same 7660, 1 opamp stage to lower the impendance and a final opamp stage to scale and offset the voltage.I can send the eagle schematics to anybody interested but i can t guarantee its functionality because it is still untested. simone

hi i am using rjs buttons and i wouldn t advice them.I use to push hard on them (eh beat repeat lover!) i had to change one already and another is on its way.They are quite nice buttons though and if you treat them gently they would last longer.I will go for home made next time. simone

hi powerbook 1,33 tiger 10.4.8 with plumstone>m\MIOS studio beta7_4 works fine. simone

hey out there anybody bored? check out my schematic and tell me if you see any error>>> it s a modified DOUT carrying on board 4 encoders with push buttons with ledrings and 8 backlit buttons.. i can send you the .sch file if you want.. why can t we upload .sch? i have made an eagle library for RJS electronics backlit buttons SP12 (same as 1260 and 1261) if anybody needs it, just ask. have fun simone

hi isn t any there any digital sensor with range sensitivity and not just on off? any chance to interface it? simone midify a pissoir flushing? ain t that bad idea after all, fresh and original

hola estoy creando una solucion hardware para los sensores infrarojos analogicos de sharp aqui la link: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7812.0 esta en ingles

?????what????? cheater, nothing personal with you, that hamsters guy or whoever; just a personal thought . The sharp sensor shown in the web the Sharp GP2D02 it has a digital output, i don t really know why but everybody always talked about the analog output one, the one i am using, same as audiocommander and goule.To interface the Sharp GP2D02 you need either another processor or to write some code in the PIC itself.At least i guess so. I didn t etch the board yet because i got sick of the light of the living room and i ve built a light dimmer ;D it s impressive the difference, you should absolutely have a light dimmer in your studios or living rooms guys.. a dimmed hallo from my living room simone

hi i do respect any kind of ideology religion sex directions and such but i have to admit that i have hard time with accepting experimentation with animals but human beings.Yes it wouldn t harm any living being to toogle some MIDI data with an IR sensor but it s not my cup of tea and if asked i would deny anybody doing that. Tomorrow i will etch the first pcb based on 7660 and tl082 best simone

hi i have to amidt that this is still quite obscure to me but i think now i have all the specs and infos so it s just a matter of reading and learning, if you guys have some examples to show me (damn! i won t be the only one wishing to control cents of BPM on ableton here around!) .... hey you guys can t imagine how many cockroaches i ve picked up today from our reaharsal room! simone

hi all here the new schematics and a partial part list R1 Trim 200K R2 Trim 200K R3 100K R4 100K R5 ? C1,2,3 10 microF D1,2 ? D3 Zener 2,5 volts IC1 7660 IC2 TL082 JP1 IR Sharp sensor JP2 I/O +5 volts Vcc the 2 trimmers should regulate the range amplitube and the offset shifting, so this schematic can be used also for other sensors/devices. IMPORTANT: this is just a test i didn t try it out yet!! simone

hi all so i have 4 ledrings and 4 encoders, the ledrigns (11 leds each) are connected to 3 SRsm the first 2 of a DIN4, the fourth goes to 8 backlit buttons.It s not really clear how to modify the code on the ledrings section.Any hint? thanks simone

hi michael tx for being always around !! i ve been browsing the wiki and forum but i couldn t find anything else except that i can assign encoders to send NRPN with meta events.Anyway i didn t find any other documentation.. please if anybody can point me out .. txx Isn t it possible just to set 1 encoder to send NRPN from the .ini file via sysex? \thanks simone

hi i was wondering if it is possible to get a better resolution on Ableton BPM control via MIDI than the one i get with a normal encoder on a MB64e.I d like to go over the 200 BPM and under the 20 and being able to control values up to the cents of BPM. Thanks simone

yes i understand that but that would be a perfect solution both for car battery and normal house use.If i could do it (getting more power form the firewire) i d switch immediately to MBlc and add a couple of lcd simone

hi i will start a new thread about the Sharp GP infrared sensor.There is already a good starting point in this thread http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=5270.60 but i decided to start a new topic in this section because it is not about C programming anymore I plan to keep uptodate this thread with my work around the GP sensor. My enviroment is OSX (but i will try to give good hints to PC users as well) and a custom MB64E, on this box i ve got connectors (stereo mini jacks) for 4 digital inputs and 1 analog input, i am using the analog input to connect the GP sensor, when i don use the senso i can connect a modified Alesis floor board. Right now i am using the sensor with the following modification a) 1 capacitor 2200 microFarads and a bypass cap 0,1 microFarad (no pol) between Vin and Ground right close to the sensor.This will smooth the signal and bring the jittering down to 1 or 2 values. b) i ve modified the MIOS_AIN_DeadBandSet parameter to 3e (i plan to use a smaller i think it is possible) NOTE: bigger values will lower the resolution.This is stopping the jittering. c) i use a program called MidiPipe (http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/) to scale the range, use the Control Split tool and set the Limit to 0-81 (it can vary a little depending on your supply, connections etc, just use the maximum MIDI cc value you get from the sensor) then set the Scale parameter to 0-127 (default) IMPORTANT: you have to one Control Split tool for every CC sent by the sensor if you have different banks/groups c) for PC users: download MIDIOX http://www.midiox.com/ you will easily find out how to scale the CC values NOTE: remember to use shielded cable !!! brighter illumination where you use the sensor will improve the jittering problems Now so far we ve got a first solution not really so elegant but functional. I am working around an hardware circuit to stabilize the sensor s output and decrease the impendance. Here a first schematic attached R1 35k (or the closest value 34?) R2 10k R3 22K R4 50K trimmer (at 44k should double the output) J1 to the sensor (follow the pin numbers as for GP) J2 to the box IC A and IC B is NOT LM358 as described in the schematic, i am looking for Opamps that accept an asymmetrical supply, maybe OPA350? The first stage will lower the impendance so the second stage will perform the scaling stuff with no gain problems IMPORTANT: this is not a verified circuit, you are very welcome to try it but no guarantee at all.I am not an electronic expert i am trying to figure out this schematic but i need help out there!!! I have a candidate: LM324 it s a quad Opamp anc could be used for 2 sensors I recalculated the resistors values and there are some mistake i will post the new schematic

hi snaper about my post: i forgot to write the link!!, Audiocommander already pointed that out but here it is anyway: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?board=8.0 i know all seems to be quite difficult to understand in the beginning but consider that TK has spent a few years developing this platform/hardware and you are not supposed to learn it in a few days.You are very welcome to ask here in the forum, but please read first carefully all the wiki, all the sticky topics about MB64,MIOS and MIOS for Mac user.Open the MB64 and have fun with Assembler, it all will be easier as you go along with it. We ll be waiting for some pictures as you get some results. simone

snaper you also want to read the first 2 topics on this forum section about MB64 and the LC protocol. simone
