  1. Hello to you, just browsing through the members list.

  2. Woo! wiki problems are all fixed now.. Just hit 100 chipsets! Seemed to go from 50 => 100 in no time at all. Now it's just a matter of time before I start making 'bleeps' and 'bloops' and 'chjdigeajifossszzzzzzz' again.. Yes, I love FM.
  3. I had to wait overnight for things to be updated, but now I can login to the wiki with 'Joi' as the username - no issues. I did however still have to login to the forum with username '*jOi~', yet it says 'Hello Joi' up the top. Is this because my username can't be changed but my nick can? And the wiki uses your nick as login? Hrmm.. These questions aren't terribly important, but thanks for the suggestion as I can now use both. Trent
  4. Thanks for the suggestion. I deleted all temporary internet files and cookies, which allowed me to access the wiki. I then tried to login and again I entered my username and password and then "permission denied" again. I think I'll try changing my username now (can I do that?). The wiki is so great - I surprise myself that I've never logged in before... hah! No harm in maturity though, the stars and tilda are getting a little young for me.
  5. Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I am currently unable to access the wiki (and add my name to the MBFM bulk order) Last night I looked at the page, hit login, entered my username etc. and clicked ok. I'm now getting the following message::: Warning: preg_grep() [function.preg-grep]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 20 in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php on line 259 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php on line 261 Warning: preg_grep() [function.preg-grep]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 18 in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php on line 283 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php on line 285 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/auth.php:259) in /home/midibox/public_html/dokuwiki/inc/actions.php on line 91 I haven't previously attempted to log in to the wiki, and whenever i visit any page of the wiki the same thing happens. It does however still say "logged in as *jOi~" in the bottom message bar, just that "Permission Denied" is always there. I'm on OSX 10.4.11, and have tried with Safari and Firefox to the same conclusion. Any help would be fantastic
  6. This sounds great - I've been wanting to make a MBFM for a while now (1/2 rack enclosure), but I could never get around to finding the old soundcards. Unfortunately I'm getting a 'you do not have permission' on every part of the wiki... I would love to order 2 chipsets if someone could help add my name - or better yet suggest what might be wrong when I try to access the wiki (I will do a search now...)
  7. I won't say much here, and don't want to cause anybody any strife. I would however like to say a few words in response to you Smash I read your post and saw some very interesting points, visited your links and opened my eyes that little bit more. The way you have attacked and labeled the folks at monome as 'clueless', 'dollarblinded' or 'lying', is hasty, unprovoked and inconsiderate. In my discourse with Mr. Crabtree, he has been very helpful and gracious, originally pointing me to this very community some 2 years ago suggesting it as a good starting point into controlling computer music. They are very kind and thoughtful people, and whilst being 'kind and thoughtful' is no rebuttal to your harsh words, it does go to show the thought they have put into the project. Whilst you may present 'facts' and 'proof' that opposes their hopes and aims, I see it as admirable that they have done quite extensive research (extensive, yes) and believe their method of manufacture is the best way for them to move forward both ethically and commercially. Thoughtful people, attempting to do their best for the community both world and local, are held in high esteem in my book. Re: Buttons. I see your point, though for a small company with large profits, it seems a little self-defeating to go through these processes. Sometimes corners have to be cut, and solid design must be trusted? I'm not sure how I would deal with this issue, however I wouldn't let it stop me from producing a product that would further artistic endeavours. I don't mean to step on toes with this post - I merely want to suggest that we should be more gratuitous and in general, more kind to those whose projects we are not totally informed about. Slinging around words as were stated above would be enough to throw off some who may well own a device and are visiting the site because they have become interested in the idea. With kind wishes, Trent

    fm vco

    Just a humble opinion, but isn't the FM already pretty simplified. All of the sound is generated on chip, and it seems that as is would be a great audio source for a modular. I guess the complicated bit is the controls you use. If you want to control pitch etc. I believe it would be a case of requiring an AIN module that you could assign to certain parameters in the FM program. I haven't built one.. so I don't really know..

  9. Hi everybody, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts where i could find some high-output (200+mcd)bi-colour LEDs. I'm using pads from <monome.org> which require 3mm (T1) size LEDs. The trick is to have access to 3 different colours for more visual correlation between buttons rather than simply memory. Example - I want to be able to load a set in ableton and use 3 buttons - 1 for record (Red), Mute (Yellow) and Solo (Green). I'll program all of the MIDI code in MaxMSP. I'm happy to spend ~1USD per Dual LED. If anyone has suggestions, I would be ever-so-grateful. Trent
  10. just been playing with the code, and it works well - few problems though which i think stem from the lack of debouncing. i tried to migrate the code into C but alas it hasn't worked as seemlessly as hoped (i have a much easier time working with C code). hardware was 8x16 switch matrix using 2xDOUT and 1xDIN i assume you left the debouncing out, as it would consume too much processor power for all the buttons, however on second thought, maybe my problem is not debouncing... i will get back to you about it. nonetheless, it works *thumbs up* t
  11. hey qbas ive been trying to write the code to expand the examples to 16x16 and been unsuccessful so far. looking at your code though, it seems we approached it quite differently > i will try and test it out tomorrow. i've only got 8x12 matrix at the moment, but theoretically it should work on smaller matrices yes...? it's too late in the evening right now, but hopefully some success soon... trent
  12. wow! this box looks incredible - all the best wishes for the gig in ~1 week!!! would really love to see some higher resolution photos of the thing, and maybe even a short video of the whole setup in action. how are you using the soundcard, and what in/out do you have available on the box? I really love the idea of having the sound output inside the midi controller - that is so cool. only problem for me is i only have firewire cards (2 cables anyway!)... trent
  13. i have seen that page before, though somehow i always manage to lose the bookmark.. thanks for the redirection. i am trying to dim each LED individually, so I would be incredibly interested in the solution you speak of - please keep me/us posted. as an aside i'd just like to say how much of a kick i get out of having my questions answered by mr. Henke himself.. thanks trent
  14. friends, i've been searching this forum far and wide, and whilst i can find a huge number of references to using PWM to control the brightness of LEDs, i haven't been able to find anything beyond "it's possible", and "i used it in my box". i was curious to know if anyone had any sample code as to how it is done in the firmware/application, and what the potential number of PWM'd LEDs I could hope to get from one core. originally i had planned to run a matrix, though after various experiments, im much more worried about maximum brightness, and the prospect of building a ridiculous number of DOUT modules is actually kind of endearing. I would like to do ~200 LEDs, and am quite prepared to chain a number of core modules together to do this. any thoughts? trent
  15. ergg... apologies but in fact, the magic number is '21', and so 2*0x0b-1 should be right. Thanks for picking me up Therezin.. I wish you were right though, and I'd been careless in my decimal > hex conversion, but alas the PIC is programmed correctly and yet I can't get applications to upload correctly. Running MIOS Studio via Max/MSP w/ the serial object (and MIDI Yoke), and whilst I had no troubles uploading MIOS to both PICs, I could only get my app to upload correctly to the chip at 38400. Nevertheless, I have successfully got the 38400 PIC running my led/button matrix program (c/o Wilba) without any serial cable or MIDI port. Sometimes it is easy to forget the small goals when you fall short of the large ones, but I have just proved to myself that it is possible to run a MBHP with only a PIC burner and a cheap/small USB chip. This is still a Max/MSP reliant implementation. Developments soon..
