[Another crazy DMX project]

Carnival comes closer and i can t just finish my older projects without starting a new one: I am going to dress a girl with around 2000-2500 Watts of light power.

Discarding the idea of using 12 volts cause of the extreme amount of amperes that would be involved i have to step back to a "normal" 220 volts system; ie: a car battery with a 12 to 220 volts stepup transformer.

Then a laptop, a gm5, a core, a dout, and a distribution box with a bunch of these

http://www.reichelt.de/?;ACTION=3;LA=4;GROUP=A45;GROUPID=2999;ARTICLE=21349;START=0;SORT=artnr;OFFSET=16;SID=25UQ1hMawQARkAADNghYcea08697fb0e5051c2c30584076abf772

Now about the lights, different otions:

-normal bulbs at 220 volts connected in parallel

-halogen lights at 220 volts

-halogen lights at 24 volts wired in series in group of 8

Anybody with similar experiences, any good advice?

[hi, i didn't find yet how to build a simple midi controler for my vst plugins]

How think ye? if a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Hey Flemming

little frikadeller eater, how s life in the swamp also known as Denmark in wintertime?

Yes your psu sounds s bit unstable, why don t you pass by Brinck and get a cheap trafo? sometime they have some good deal just by the entrance. The only reliable psu is

1- an expensive one

2- one you make by yourself

cheers

see you in spring

[Seppo s magic filter controlled by a pot]

...i was expecting ti to be the midibox of the week! ;)

@Nils, no it s not form Pollins, it comes from the local shop, 12+12 300mA

@Sasa, f course it s not a final job, just a test board to be hooked up with a cs-05 and a cs-08, when i ll get an AOUT-NG i ll make a nice case.

I am really looking forward to try out the little bastard

[Seppo s magic filter controlled by a pot]

Hi

I have just built Seppos filters and since i am too damn broken to get and AOUT i ll be happy to have just a pot to controlcut and resonance.

Now before i explode the styroflex caps in my face, what level of voltage is expecting the cv in?

Can I hook up a single pot to control both channels or do i need a stereo pot?

I also assume the pot has to be wire has in a AIN, + and - on the 2 tips and sending the central pin to the filter s CV in.

[Core trouble]

i just test it with a PSU with an output of 9V DC @ 500mA and am getting all the same results.

what a surprise!

I would double check all the soldering joints, then when i am finished i would do it again.

I would double check all the components, values, position, direction, one by one, then when i am finished i would do it again.

go to * twice

then let us know if you ve found anything wrong.

Hi

Want a free mono SID synth kit? All you have to do is being in the canary islands in May and being able to solder and willing to participate in a open workshop.

I ll confirm our initiative within a few weeks.

[MIDIbox Linux Distro]

Hi

usually i hold 1 or even 2 Fedora releases back when installing CCRMA, right now i run happily FC8 and will move sometime to 9.

I agree that Fedora+CCRMA is better performing than Ubuntu Studio, you can try also XFCE to free the CPU from the extra GUI work.

:D ok time to go to sleep eventually, of course it can t be embedded, thanks for posting the proper link.

And no it s not a waste of space: it s youtube embed button, not a generic flash embed button

[new daw on the market - looks good!]

[real story]

Jimmie, that remembers me of when i lived in Norway and one day they told me that one of my friends was in the hospital. I ve found her wearing a plastic dish (birthday party style) in her head wrapped around with a bath towel to "keep people from reading her mind". I also remember that the most alternative music she had in her car was Depeche Mode and that she owned a Jean Michelle Jarret concert in  VHS, with fireworks 'n' all. (I watched that stupid tape while dead mooses heads were watching at me in a lonesome red carpeted hunting hut in the middle of about nowhere, center Norway). That all to demonstrates my theory is just right.

[quoting the last posts]

it s rather difficult to be politically correct when you are in front of a pile of hot, stinky, humid, bubbling crap

[/quoting the last posts]

RIAA hasn t been politically correct with you for decades so you don t need to be politically correct with them. Popular music is not what the people like better but what the RIAA has decided that people have to like

[Midizzare un pedale digitale]

Per quanto riguarda il tap tempo, io intendo memorizzare alcuni preset "tap tempo", ovvero, siccome il tap tempo sono impulsi, intendo memorizzare la velocità di questi impulsi, se possibile, e scegliere ogni volta quella che voglio, come se stessi cambiando preset..

Se dai un occhiata al codice del MBSEQ troverai un master clock completo, presets, cambio manuale, tap, quello che preferisci.

[Midizzare un pedale digitale]

ciao

tap-tempo: lo potresti usare per sincronizzare gli effetti, tipicamente i delays. Unico problema, forse un po' di latenza

on/off: on/off ;)

preset: con un po di matematica puoi fare i modo che ogni volta che schiacci un bottone (tipo uno di una serie di 8 se si fossero 8 presets) siano inviati tanti impulsi ad un relay cuanti sono necessari.

Altrimenti con il selettore sarebbe piu facile, ad ogni bottone/messaggio-midi un dout+relay

I was testing my module, and I connected it to my pc, in order to burn MIOS (which seems that it isn't on my pic, bought from SmashTV),

hi

i know perfectly which resistor is gone, the little bastard blasted himself against the steel inside of the frontpanel, due to a broken power supply. It s FB8 or FB9

But i had an idea: if anybody had a unit and could measure or see the resistor and tell me the value that would be awesome.. maybe it s time to post at gearslut..
