  1. Of course I did a search before asking...it's just that there were a few to choose from and I wanted to download the right one. :)
  2. You wouldn't have a link to this free version of autocad would you? I wouldn't mind taking a look at the Tascam autocad files to see if they're to scale or not.
  3. thx simone. I noticed that the Tascam site has dxf files of the 2400. Could these be imported into inkscape so I don't have to map out the panel myself?
  4. With the help of the guys at the Tascam Forum I now have total control over any parameter I would like with my US-2400. With so many parameters to remember, I decided to use a label maker to map out what each encoder controls...but it ended up looking really sloppy and unprofessional. I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but how are you guys making those awesome front panels for your LC's? What programs are you using for the design and what materials would you recommend I make the template out of so it could lay over top my 2400. Any help would be much appreciated. :)
  5. I've got a couple projects like that on the go right now. Do think you could send me a link to the 10" PC screen you've mentioned?
  6. Roger, is your MBHP controller wit 10" PC screens document somewhere on the site or is this a current project?
  7. Thx for finally getting on topic. This channel strip thing is just an idea I had (notice I posted it in the design concept forum). Rather than dropping $80K on a Euphonix controller, I thought it might be possible to build one myself. Most here think it's possible...but impractical. I'll take their word for it. Btw, what does a 19" screen and touchboard have to do with Midi anyways? This forum is called Midbox.org isn't it?
  8. thx Durisian...I appreciate your help. Will definitely take your advice into consideration.
  9. A while back I tried out a Behinger BCR 2000 with my 2400 (in MC) and was able to program almost any parameter I wanted to each encoder of the 2000. I'm wondering if I could do the same with these channel strips. So economically, the small displays are going to be the most expensive...but what about all the encoders? And will this be possible with three Midibox 64E modules?
  10. Can you explain further why this is impractical to the max? I understand that I'm using a lot of encoders, but that's what will give it that real mixing board feel.
  11. I wasn't planning on having the channel strips follow the tascam in mackie control mode. I was planning on using the channel strips more like a BCR 2000, where in Nuendo you can program individual parameters to each encoder. Would that be possible?
  12. Ya, I just used the Euphonix channel strips to quickly show what it is that I'd like to make. I think they've got it laid out pretty nice and have put some thought into it...so why not try to model mine after that. As for using a 500 series lunchbox for eqing and dynamics...I had one with 4 550As, 2 550Bs, and 2 560B's and sold it since I can get nearly the same results with some of my eq plugins.
  13. A while back I was considering making my own Midi Box LC...but I got really lucky and found a used Tascam 2400 for less than what a midi box lc would cost me to build. The 2400 could be a really awesome controller, but it's missing some key components. I noticed that someone here built their own meterbridge not too long ago, so I imagine other modifications are possible. My idea is to add 24 channel strips above the 24 faders, with each channel having 8 encoders and the ability to control vst plugin parameters in Nuendo. I'm guessing that this could be done with three Midibox 64E modules? Hopefully with a little help from you pros, I can make this happen.
  14. Here's a link http://www.biscoind.com/ I phoned the Toronto office in Canada for a quote.
  15. Hi Rowan I just found out the other day that Tascam is making a new version of the 2400 with LCD's in the fall. If the price isn't too high I just might buy one and focus on building a midi controlled analog volume box that will work with the controller. So I think I might wait until then before I commit to buying a large quantity of Alps faders. If anyone needs cheap Alps faders soon though and would like to organize a group buy, I'd be happy to give the name and number of the company I spoke with. Jason
