  1. MBBLM on iPad via Lemur

    in MIDIbox BLM

    Posted

    Note that you don't need "iConnect" or any other MIDI hardware device.

    MIDI data is transmitted through the Lemur Daemon, which is running on a computer (Mac or Windows PC).

    Alternatively, MBSEQV4L can directly communicate with the iPad via Ethernet.

    Ah okay, I see!

    ..thought about playing live initially, so that was the mindset for "midi cabling required"..

    anyway, just to recap, a direct communication would be then:

    wifi(!) ipad => mobile wlanrouter(via cable)=>ethernet socket of LPC17/SEQ, right?

  4. STM32 and CV OUT (AOUT_NG)

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted · Edited by oshidash

    For inspiration: meanwhile I built an AOUT_NG module + two 74HC541 based buffer ICs into a breakout box.

    Inspirational indeed!

    One could also think of switches connected to the AOUT_NG jumpers to switch between unipolar/bipolar..

    Is the buffer actually amplifying the gates towards modular level (for the kraftzwerg) or does it function as protection for Core32's circuitry?

    btw. MBCV V2? very promising! :thumbsup:

  5. STM32 and CV OUT (AOUT_NG)

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    Call me stupid, but i have a STM32 core here and bought a AOUT_NG.

    not stupid.

    Do i need a AOUT_NG for CV/GATE or not ?

    I'd say yes.

    And if yes, how shall that be connected ( STM32 <-> AOUT_NG) ?

    http://ucapps.de/midibox_seq/mbseq_v4_interconnections.pdf

    And .. is the 25 PIN SUB-D within the layout of the 8xCinch to DB25 Adapters ( like on many audio stuff, and ES-1 from expert sleepers ) ?

    dunno, sorry.

    You can populate the pins with what you need/like. It's the connection to your external CV-box. As a modular user, some additional triggers may be nice to be considered. Or some Amplification for the (rather low powered) gates from the STM32. Or somme attenuverters..

  6. MIDIbox SEQ V4Lite

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    Oh YES,

    that's a very useful and live-friendly approach,

    seeing those awesome recording-features combined

    with a immediate UI.

    Maybe there's room in that concept for havin the option

    to half the parameterlayers and get 4 tracks instead of

    two? But since data transfer with the big SEQ is possible,

    one could use this as sketch pad for 1-2 complex tracks, which

    can be copied on-the-fly to the "big" SEQ (that could serve the job of

    being a multiple complex-tack player).

    I can imagine this SEQlite as a really slick design together

    with a little harmonic table-keyboard :w00t:

    The step/live recording mode has been improved dramatically, the changes will be available in MBSEQ V4.048 as well! :)

    looking forward to this! :frantics:

    cheers!

  7. MIDIbox SEQ V4 Release + Feedback

    oshidash: the possibility to assign dedicated bookmark buttons makes the request for dedicated Fx buttons obsolete: now you can configure this as a bookmark by yourself

    Ah well, this is brilliant! :sorcerer:

    So getting just the echo page stored into BM1 global would require to set everything but "page" to "-" in the config slot via notepad. Then choosing "page" number "34". Done!

    Maybe we could consider a bookmark-thread for exchange/diskussion after some testing-time..

    beta41 is working fine here - thanks for this fabulous feature, TK!

  8. MIDIbox SEQ V4 Release + Feedback

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    Everything that provides

    [...] the possibility to quickly change between different edit scenarios.

    is absolutely appreciated!

    The UI slots sound like a great idea - I'd also say absolutely worth a try!

    Just for explanation/illustration:

    The idea behind fwd/back basically was to have some sort of dynamic cache running in the background which is updated everytime a new page is accessed (so this is not tied to the root of the menu structure).

    Every page gets a ID number and the cache contains let's say a threshhold of 5 stages. So you can switch back up to the 5 last pages you were consecutively on.

    for example.

    Just an intuitive way to realize on-the-fly-switching without much thinking and "affengriff"(translator says "three-finger-salute")-usage :)

    But with the UI bookmarking it's a whole new dimension.

    ...maybe just one second for storing and it's fast as well :wink:

    Thanks a lot Thorsten!

    also for this:

    adding special button/LED functions for FX pages

    There's a dedicated button function in the .v4 file for Record, look for "BUTTON_RECORD" and assign it to one of your F-buttons (i.e. put the F-button shift register there and set the former F-button to zero zero).

    Thanks stuart! Got it, great! I hope I dind't overlook more such solutions in .v4 *donk* :blush:

  10. MIDIbox SEQ V4 Release + Feedback

    Just a quick report inbetween - this SEQ is really awesome :thumbsup:

    V4.0beta39 is running stable, no issues encountered so far.

    realtime rec and fx functions really do it for me regarding creating quickly complex patterns in live context. For example echo with +note on drums atop of a regular drumtrack groove -> fills that can be influenced via note alteration on the drum-sequencing note track, the repeat and +-note-stages in the FX menu.. just really great.

    In order to make the workflow as fast as possible I was thinking if

    a)it's possible to configure toggle for "utility" menu in the HW.V4 chart?

    if these menus are able to be toggeled, one can switch back to the primal page automatically.

    b)Maybe it's even possible to route "Echo" oder "Rec" menu towards one F-button?

    c)it would be considerable to implement a global "forward"/"backward" function to the menu history? (this would be very useful to instantly switch back for example from the mute menu to the menu one was before.) such a function could be routed to the up/down buttons..

    But I assume that's hard to implement at this point into the complex system.

    I must admit that I'm not sure to have already properly checked all the possibilities of the remote functions. That's probably another way to get quick to certain pages which are deeper located in the menu structure. I will do that right now :sheep:

  11. [WTB] Optrex 40x2 green-on-black Display(s)

    in Fleamarket

    Posted

    As I've blown the backlights from one of my Optrex Displays during MBSEQ V4 buildup

    (see last post on this thread),

    I'm looking for at least one OPTREX C-51850NFQJ-LG-ACN.

    Up to 3-4 would be taken as reserve.

    If nobody's got spares right now,

    maybe s.o. from Europe is willing to join a buy @ mouser.

    Since I'd take 3 LCDs, two more would already lower the price

    (1 item: 33,21 eur / 5 items: 29,88 eur).

    cheers

  12. Problem with 2nd LCD

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted · Edited by oshidash

    Hi there,

    just wanted to report another possible cause for blocks displayed on the LCDs, which happend in my case:

    Upper row on both displays showed solid blocks and whilst I suspected the Pinning/cables to be wrong,

    it turned out that R2 resistior array was stuffed upside down :baby: .

    Since everything went fine during the building/testing-stages this didn`t come to my multimeter-mind so I rather went on going tilt by making numerous cable-versions and blowing backlights of a regular LCD and also of an optrex :bye:

    Now the seq ist running fine.

    apart from.. well ..spare Optrex anyone..? :whistle:

  14. AOUT_NG VCO Tracking

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted · Edited by oshidash

    Just tell if you want me to test anything special or to make a deeper comparison of the Kenton vs AOUT.

    That would be nice indeed, since I was assuming, that via the mixer-page one could address the AOUT_NG (so that - for instance - LFO's could be generated via CC-Messages). Like it says in the SEQ-manual:

    Values are sent directly over the selected MIDI port - all ports are selectable, even Loopback and AOUT!

  20. Accessing tracks: Button matrix vs. simple LED representation

    in MIDIbox SEQ

    Posted

    Hi there!

    Having planned my MBSEQ for quite a while, I find it hard to imagine, which hardware-design provides the "best" ergonomic use of the UI, that TK has developed. Creating new patterns quickly in an effective way would be my destination, since I want to use the SEQ especially for live-playing..

    I´d like to hear some statements from SEQ-users about their experiences concerning the most ergonomic access to control the track-events in MBSEQ_V3.

    As far as I understand, solutions like Dauwige´s (http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=8268.0)

    control the tracks the same way like the matrix does in MBSID-CS, whilst TK´s breakout-box reveals direct access to every step per track at the same time.

    Would you say this realtime-step-access is just "nice to have" or even "crucial" for a smooth workflow, using it integrated in the existing environment (Tracks, Layers, Groups, ect.)? 

    thanks!

  22. Kingbright 8X8 LED-Matrix usable for MBSid?

    in MIDIbox SID

    Posted

    Hi,

    anyone made experiences with the 8X8 LED-Matrix from kingbright?

    www.datasheet4u.com/html/T/B/A/TBA23-12HGWA_KingbrightCorporation.pdf.html

    I wonder if it's usable for the 8X7 Matrix of the MidiboxSid (wiht one column left unused) - haven't seen it integrated in any boxes so far.. perhaps it's no wonder, cause it doesn't really work for this :P.

    thx

  25. Oh no- PIC abgeschossen?

    in Deutsch

    Posted

    Sorry,

    es handelte sich bei mir wohl um Panic-posting:

    In dem Sockel einer anderen core läuft die Master-pic stabil. Also liegts wohl an den Sockelkontakten...

    Ich konnte dort auch die 8580.hex draufladen, nachdem ich sie sicherheitshalber durch upload der unveränderten change_ID- .hex  mit 0000000000000 versehen habe.

     

    Ich ziehe alle Fragen zurück.

    Vorm nächsten Post schlaf ich besser erst mal ne Nacht drüber  ;)
