Hey George thanks for you'r responce, The purpose of this huge MTC display is for real-time musical analysis. it is to be shown in front of an audience of 150 people. In other words, instead of shouting to the audience "we are in the middle of the second movement of the symphony.." they can see the time on the clock that corresponds to the printed analysis they have in their hand. Up to now I've been using a custom made display hooked up to a home C.D ROM display that just copies the L.C.D display to larger dimensions. But I want to move into the 21st century and hook a laptop's output (from a sequencer) that plays an MP3 strip to a display that shows the time on one hand and on the other plays the audio throw the audio output to the P,A system. So much for the "why I need this" , as for the diminutions it’s a total size of the current box I have now the led rings are smaller 12X6 each digit. And I only use the two middle pares Mm:Ss I don’t need the hours or frames. Can you think of anyone that can help me or point me in the right direction???? Or can you think of anyone that can custom build this for me? Why is it such a big project? HELLLLLLLLLP!!! Tanks Jason

Hi all, ;) My name is Jason and i'M buildING a MIDI Monitor with 8 digit LED display that shows MIDI-Time-Code (or songposition). I got the MIDIMon from www.ucapps.de with the MTC LED display output ANHHAND I got the MBHP "Core" module to act as the guts with a programmed MIOS PIC chip. ALL HOOKDE UP AND REDY TO GO --BUT (!!!) My problem is with the seven segment display. this kit is ment to be used with low level small displays. And the display i want to build is very big - i want to make a 40X20cm display and as far as i understod ill need to amplify the signal so all led's light up correctly. Is there sumwhere that i can call (hoo...a real person to talk to) that can asist... or sumwhere to buy form a ready made display... Or infact a ready made kit with a disply to my spcifications (its been weeks that ive been batteling with this). I feel so close to the end of this projet and still so far, as you can tell im no techno guy - i have frineds helping me but i feel that if a person that knows thees systems will put his mind into it and pass on an idea or tow it might be much easyer. Take Care Jason. feel free to respond here or to jason@emuse.co.il

Hey George , thanks for your helpfull reply. just a few Q's in hope for sum A's.... 1.You wrote: "with a programmed MIOS PIC chip (or a PIC with the MIDIMon app already on it).: where can i get a programmed MIOS PIC?? im sure that would save me lots of effort...:-) 2. I didnt understand this part of your repy at all: "I've built a couple with the three HC595 shift registers onboard, but I guess standard procedure is to use the MBHP D.OUT module for that part." whats a HC595 ??? AND WHATS A MBHP D.OUT ???? I cant thank you enoph.... your reply just reminds people like me that there are nice people out there who will giv a hand to strangers.. Thanks my fraind, Jason

Hi all, My name is Jason and i want to build a MIDI Monitor with 8 digit LED display that shows MIDI-Time-Code (or songposition). Now I am dont know anything about electronics and i dont follow techno this and thas so..can any one tell me wich modules i need to build so i can get midi time cod to display ? ALL I WANT TO DO IS to be able to connect my DINN5 conector form my sequencer to an LED MTC DISPLAY. (I'm not going to acutally build this myself - im going to pass it on to a fraind who knows how to, but he also got dazzeled by the amount of info on the site so he toled me - "jason, just tell me what parts you need and ill get it made for you!!!") so please , can anyone just tell me what i need??
