Hello, I've done this midibox several months (oops... it's years, now... !) ago, but now I have bought (much more expensive) real analog synths, and I don't use it anymore... It is designed to control a Minimoog VST Plugin (ex: Arturia Minimoog V, or other free versions) If somebody in France or near Strasbourg is interested, please mail me. (or anywhere else, but I think the shipping will be expensive...) My mail : basquin at freesurf dot fr. IMGP1695.JPG

Hello, I was not offended :) Best regards, Joseph

Hello, Comme j explique ici : http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=10352.0, j ai construit un controleur qui marche etc. mais je n ai plus de place ni l utilisation etant donne que j ai achete un vrai synthe analo. Du coup a vendre... J ai des photos si interesse. Suis en Alsace. A bientot jeb ps: je precise que c est pas du tout une activite commerciale c est juste une vente d occase !

Hello, > You post your fancy new controller on 2007-12-10 > and want to sell it on 2007-12-16? It s not a new one ! I have built it about 1 year ago as I said in a previous post. It is fully functional. But the thing is that I have recently bought a real analog synthesizer... I recognize it is difficult to sell something I have personnaly created, spent time on it, etc. but I do not use it enough and I have very little space... So... jeb

Hello, About the Midibox, it is MB64, with lots of pots, designed to control Arturia Minimoog or any other VST : there are exists **free** Minimoog VST. It IS finished and fully functional. I spent more than 100 euros for electronics (with shipping, wall adapters, and misc.), more than 50-60 euros for pots and knobs, 40 euros for the case wood making, imitation leather, etc. And really *a lot* in misc things that I even cannot remember. You can mail me to do a proposal : basquin at freesurf dot fr. Joseph PS: TK, Why do you find it strange ? I explained I ve done it *not for commercial purpose* (I only sell this one !!)... The problem is indeed that I have bought a real analog synthesizer and that I do not need this one anymore... (Moreover I do the same now as I did with my LEGO as a child : I enjoy *building* a unit, but then I less enjoy *using* it, and I go to another (currently not an electronic one) project ...)

here you can see some photos on the thread in the "midibox of the week section": http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=10317.0 jeb

I can send photos, etc. Please contact me : basquin at freesurf dot fr ! jeb

If somebody is interested, I sell it now... ! It's working great, but I have now bought a real (much more expensive) analog synth... and I have no more space in my 2-room apartment... You can contact me here : basquin at freesurf dot fr. I'm living in east of France, near Germany... jeb

in french we call it "skaï", it's imitation leather... 6 euros/meter.. here another close up picture : IMGP1695.JPG

yes... leather... :)

hello, i've made several small midiboxes (one year ago... see my other post)... i'm currently building a new one, and i have one or two small questions... 1) what range has been tested for power ? is 12V AC ok or too much ? 2) is there an interface for a power led (i don't want to build a ?OUT module for this!) 3) i have 50 kohm faders... will it be okay ? i remember i had problems with 100k pots... will these 50k be okay ? if not, i don't remember how to make them work (i cannot replace them for my specific project!!) WITHOUT jitter... any idea ? thanks in advance!

Hello ! A "Minimoog" VST controller Midibox.... Jeb IMGP1707.JPG

hello, thanx a lot. a multiplexer would be good for me (much cheaper !! and easier than building a complete core with a PIC...) could you just give me the name of the chip needed (74?? , 74157 ?) and then i promiss i will do it by myself without asking any questions.... ;) thanx jeb

thanx a lot for your response ! how to use a digital multiplexer ? (which reference?) which pins are to be connected ? with this solution, will it be real merger ? or is it a solution only when we are sure that the MIDI messages from the 2 MIDI IN do NOT come at the same time ? thanx in advance ! MIDIBOX is great !!

hello, 1) what happens if i connect the 2 outputs of the 2 octo-couplers (one for each MIDI In) to the same core ? pin 6 of octocoupler 1 (MIDI IN #1) \ ------------- pin 26 of PIC18F (pin RX) pin 6 of octocoupler 2 (MIDI IN #2) / will it work if i'm sure message won't come AT THE SAME TIME (from the differents outputs) ? 2) if i do : pin 6 of octocoupler 1 (MIDI IN #1) ---> pin 26 of PIC18F (pin RX) pin 6 of octocoupler 2 (MIDI IN #2) ---> pin 6 of PIC18F (pin RA4 like for the merger project) I want to use the inputs NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. how to tell MIOS that MIDI comes from pin 26 or pin 6 ? 3) any other switching option ? apart putting a mechanical switch (that's what i've done!) ? jeb
