  1. with all the non-english speakers here I think it is important to be as clear as possible to make it easier on them.

    Very true.

    with some upcoming "meta" threads that need editing, That's not the best option....

    Again, very true. There's a number of threads I know of on other forums I read where the first post is regularly edited by the poster, so that whenever he releases a new version of his software it appears on the first page. The utility of being able to edit your own posts outweighs the "crank factor" for me anyways.

  2. Looks like a cool box, and a very clean layout - especially now using the illuminated knobs, and without the crossfader assign buttons. To be honest, I've not seen many things you can do with a crossfader that you can't just using the track faders - turntablism aside of course.

    As for the cameo, TK? I like the little in-joke  ;D

  3. Surely since the forum's PHP-based, it would be a relatively simple matter to remove the edit option from the "view thread" page? Obviously, it's a matter of finding the time to do this - but it doesn't seem like a huge amount of work, if there were enough demand.

  4. I saw this a while ago after following a link on the uCApps.de MBSID main page, tho they hadn't got the cartridge version on the site then. I downloaded the disk images and tried them in CCS64, it's a pretty good piece of kit. I highly recommend doing the same, 'cause it's a pretty dang funky piece of software.

  5. There's definitely not a SID in there, if that's what you're after  :P

    There are headers inside to connect to a keyboard tho, and with some sort of simple hack you can get to the original C64 Basic OS. I assume there'll be some kind of connectors you can use for external storage too, tho obviously you'll need to do some soldering (shouldn't be a problem  ;))

    Apparently the only reason these connectors weren't on the outside was because they didn't want all the customer support phone calls from people wondering why their 20-year-old games won't play anymore.

  6. Firstly: Welcome to the forum.

    Secondly: There are very few people who will help those who don't help themselves. What do you want from your MidiBox? How many pots / faders / buttons? What parts of nuendo did you want to control? Nobody will simply tell you "do this, this and this and you'll have a MidiBox".

  7. I tried to wire 110v up to some giant, red, Dr.Seuss looking megaphone horn thing I found in a basement once, and it started vibrating and squealing, making a horrible stinky smoke. It was face down on the carpet at the studio when I did it, and it melted this spiral ring crap through the carpet. It looks like I tried to launch a small spacecraft from the center of the room.

    This had me laughing for minutes. Literally.

    My worst bite ever was from a large tube laser power supply.....that one should have finished me.  ;)  It was 65kv at high amperage.....  I was soooo lucky, Was sitting on the floor next to it instead of standing..... For whatever reason the crowbar ckt decided to dump HV to chassis ground, when I had my hand near a ground point.  It went in second finger and out fourth, so no heart damage etc.  Caused me to need therapy and special exercises to fight muscle atrophy in that arm for 6 months or so after, blackened both fingertips at entry and exit, and I cranked the back of my head on the floor from the recoil (luckily I was already out when I hit) I woke up feeling like I had just lost a fight, and I swear it was a minute before I knew who/where/what (probably from the head conk)

    Remind me not to play with lasers. And to take off my jewelry when messing with stuff like that, 'cause that's gotta be enough to melt silver and I don't like the idea of my rings burning themselves into my hands

  8. I've had a few old ceramic caps (brownish colour) lying around, and used them for bypass caps on a DIN module. When heated for the first time all of the disks became a litte wet all by themselves, and on the newspaper I had lying underneath the boards actually was a little wet spot. I don't believe it's broken, I think more of a protective coat or something that got heated away...

    Cheers,  Alex.

    Could that just be condensation forming on the ceramic coating, due to the cap being hotter than the air around it?
