  1. MB-6582 panels...

    This may be a stupid question but, are these pannels the same as the ones from a year ago?  or has there been some change?  I managed to get a set of pannels in the first buy a long time ago, but then there were no pcbs avalilable for months so i stopped checking.

    Have these pannels changed?  has the mb-6582 changed?  or is this just a new order of the same old pannels from before?

    I would like to have not wasted money on that first set of pannels if possible :(

    you may be right re: the extra audio line.  It may not be able to provude audio via the cart. 

    infact, you are PROBABLY right.

    Re: 2.0, x|k is not saying anything regrding dates.. last i heard he was saying "i'm still developing the idea".

    I would say a year would not be too far off, but that's just a guess.

    It should be noted that x|k who is the maker of the midines is working on midines 2.0, which will have substantially improved features.  It will possibly involve a built in tracker software, for instance, and there is talk of an FPGA to emulate the mappers that make NES music so great.

    See, the RICOH 2a03 only has 5 channels.. 2 pulse, 1 tri, 1 w/n, and 1 dpcm sample channel.  But loads of games had memmory mappers allowing for larger storage, but that also integrated extra oscillators.

    The japanese famicom had a channel that took the combined output of audio channels on the cart, and fed them through the audio out along with the 5 2a03 channels.  Not sure if the american nes can use the extra mappers for audio..

    Anyhow.. the midines 2.0 is supposed to respond to many needs people who use it have brought to x|k's attention.  Like, having to program volume envelopes and pulse width changes into your sequencer, rather than having instruments that contain that information stored in the cart by some means (like patches).

    One solution, for current midines users, is to use a tracker like renoise with midi out.  Famitracker i believe has midiout too.  Then you can do whatever the hell you can possibly think of with the real midines.  Famitracker actually has pretty good instrument settings screens.  Again, i'm not 100% sure if it has midi out. 

    Though, famitracker shoudl deffinately work on creating integration with midines.  That seems onyl logical.

    There will be a bit of a wait for parts kits and PCBs, but they will be available sooner or later. Smash has a lot of work to do so things wil take time. There's quite a few people who have PCB's, Panels, case who are waiting on the kits list. A quick option would be to get all the parts individually...

    The parts i can get, the PCBs i can't, but as i said, I have complete faith!

    AFAIK they are not being sold yet. Smash is currently putting kits together and working through the list of people who already have PCBs and then to the others who have requested kits. Wilba has just finished his control surface (and base PCB) construction and is releasing the  PCB files to Smash so he can sort some boards out. I think the caution with this is that Wilba wanted to make sure the PCBs were just right before handing the files over. Smash/Wilba, correct me on this if I'm wrong.

    I think we still have a little bit to wait yet, these kits must take a lot of work and it's Christmas/New-Years time.... Even Smash is allowed time off on New Years  :P
