yes, start with the LC - all of the question you have asked can be answered yourself by some reading and experimentation.

hey Moxi, yup, it's the right paper and I've tried all the settings (except OHP, which I'm gonna try tonight...) I've shot an email off to Lazertran, but I thought i'd see if anyone here had a tip or two

I've just tried experiementing with Lazertran and the results are terrible! I'm getting lots of ink clumping on the surface and running. The image is really bad too. I've followed the instructions and tried a few different settings, but it's all rubbish. I'm using an Epson R265. Can anyone else who's had success please tell me what printer they are using and please share any tricks they might have. thanks

i actually stopped myself adding to the bottom of that last msg: "ad Stryd don't take that as a challenge to reply with a blinking msg" wish I had now.... :)

maybe I should have mentioned you can use pretty much any of the available Vs and Vd from the AIN to run the pots/faders, they don't send any data.....

yellow card for karykboom for using a marquee scroller on his first post!

i'm going to try the Smash trick, just as soon as I get some time....

I live in East London, so every day/night can be a scene from 28 Days Later. and then My studio has 4 clubs within 20 seconds walk from the door, one of them has a party that starts 7am Sunday Morning... So you can imagine the state of the people I see when I come to the studio on a Sunday at kicking out time!!

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you properly, but here goes. rule 1 - clamp any unused inputs to ground - so any unused inputs on j1 - j4 need to be grounded. J5 of the AIN connects to the core. J7 - J10 of the AIN are the power for the pots (vs + vd) J1 - J4 of the AIN also have a Vd pin there which also can to be connected to the pots. see http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_ainx4_64pots.pdf for a wiring diagram. see also: http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/mbhp_ainR3.html

but only if you've got the mylar grounded. but to be honest I think i'd be more worried about my skin falling off and the crowds of cannibal looters than firing my laptop up....

Hey Kris, Done some research on Mylar and it it turns out it's no good for low freq radiation like magnets, which is a damn shame cause it's light and flexible unlike steel which seems to be the only alternative....

ooops my bad, it would help if I pointed to a C app! check out: ain64_din128_dout128_v2_0 app, it's probably a good place to start. http://www.ucapps.de/mios/ain64_din128_dout128_v2_0.zip

check out one of the other apps - maybe start with the MB64, have a look at the C code, edit it, compile it and upload it and see what happens

lovey, thanks LX - stunning work....

very impressive... any chance of a high rez image so we can see more detail?

and also check out SmashTV's site http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/

you can use either - it's a personal choice.... and BTW, tis a tad impolite to ask for response a day after posting ;) read the site some more, it's all out there; check the forums, the wiki (which u did) and the build notes.... it comes down to how much you wanna spend and who delivers to where you live.... ALPs and Bournes come highly recommended, ALPS being my weapon of choice

pots have a stopping point at either end of the travel encoders just keep on turning keep reading, all of this stuff is on the site

the link doesn't work :(

sure, you need to edit the application either in C or ASM

has anyone played around with AudioBox for getting bpms? can be found here: http://www.patchbox.net/release/

sounds like you've got a handle on it and yes add the LCD later if you wish - but it's damn handy for trouble shooting when builidng and a DOUT lets you control LEDs

Hey Smash, I see you are the one to come to the rescue once again. One more quick question - any suggestions on how to test this without applying it to a HD? using a compass perhaps??

just for clairty as I've just got back from a tour so my head is still foggy and I might not have made things clear: the idea is to put "something" on the platter of a 1200 as a sheild and then the laptop goes on top of that "something" the SL1200 has a metal platter and a rather beefy looking electomagnet around the spindle. My laptop will be sitting pretty much dead center over the electro magnet. Also the HD in my laptop is my primary concern, so sheilding that is not really going to be very easy. I know the ideal solution is probably a Faraday cage; but I can't get my head round a practical application. of course in an ideal world every club would have 2 of the stands Mike B suggested (one for the lappy one for the controller) - but that's never gonna happen; even with a technical rider (I've turned up to gigs in some countries with a bag of records to find they don't even have turntables, just CDs!). The other issue is speed - I need to be setup asap. When the gigs are tightly timed I often only have a few mins after arriving at the club from the last gig before I need to take over...

i've heard the hack won't work with Ableton 6... needs to be remote scripts personally I'm getting everying working on 5, then moving to 6
