Hey Guys,
i just "opened" J1 on my GM5 module so that i only have 1 entry showing up in my sequencer but apparently nothing changes and i still got 5 ins and 5 outs..
J8 is closed (Midibox.org config).
i checked the cut...i have no connectivity at all, so that´s not the reason.
Anyway i tried to plug in/out the GM5 a few times, didnt change anything
What could be wrong? Btw: i noticed that a second module i got doesnt have J8. I am on OSX.
Thank you,
alex

that's just gorgeous, work of art..
the CAD renders already look really nice.. what app did you use? hard to learn?
I use Solidworks for constructing. It´s my favourite CAD app and compared to a few others relatively easy to learn.
Nervertheless are CAD apps very time consuming. Rendering is done with photoview360, which is part of the package.
If you like to achieve more photorealism you could import it directly to luxology modo and render it there but you could
easily spend a life only with finding the right settings...
Awesome.
How you you make the wood parts? (especially the bevel). I want to make stuff out of wood but I am clueless.
The case is made out of four parts which were cut to 45 degree angle at the ends first and then glued.
After that you would normally build a "frame" around the case so that you have a large enough area to apply your
router on. The bevel is then made with the router.
You could probably made it with a dremel and the milling cap too...but i havent tried that yet.
Cleanest version would be the use of a cnc router but i havent one. Would be nice though coz i could feed it
directly from my CAD.

Slick. Stylish. Clean.
Me likey a lot!
And I took the liberty of making it MIDIbox of the Week :)
wohoooo! thx :-)

there is a workaround. it´s on the ableton forums in the m4l area.
i have a bookmark somewhere...but you could probably find it by yourself.

And here are the real pics:
Hope you like it. I am very happy.
Thank you all for the support and the great system (TK!!)

Hey guys,
i´d like to show you my Midibox i built the last weeks and finished today.
It is an ordinary MB64e with a Schaeffer panel and a black walnut case.
It features 24 encoders and 12 buttons to control my drumsynthesizers microtonic and drumaxx.
Anyway I like it slick and clean, I like wood and I like geometry :p.
I tried to keep the device as low as possible with monome as inspiration. Therefore
i constructed everything in CAD beforehands to avoid suprises during assembly.
I decided to not go for a PCB but tried to keep the wiring mess as "clean" as possible.
Here are a few CAD Renderings:

Left cut, very little space due to the height of the box.

Hi Mate,
that´s really easy. I did it yesterday without any problems.
1.) Install the tools. You find them here (win32): http://rapidshare.com/files/399264147/MidiboxProgramming.zip.html
2.) Move the entire Folder with your 8580.asm to e.g. c:/mios/midibox_sid_v2_0_rc37 (or whatever foldernames you have)
3.) On Winxp click start and type "cmd", that opens a shell (dos like command window)
4.) in this shell navigate to your folder
5.) type and execute: SET PATH=C:\MSYS\1.0\bin;%programfiles%\gputils\bin;%programfiles%\SDCC\bin;%PATH%
6.) type and execute: make
files are made and ready for upload.
that´s all.

hope this makes sense
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Thorsten,
thank you. Makes sense. I wasnt aware of the fact, that
the order of the entries has an effect on the mapping.
Now that i see that i can even swap the SRs in the list and not
only the numbers within a specific SR entry it is
totally clear.
Best,
Alex

hey guys,
i´ve come across a problem with my encoder mapping of which i am not sure if i could solve it within the c application of mb64e.
I´ve got two rows of 6 encoders, let´s name them A and B. Due to practical reasons (cable mess) i would like to wire the encoders in blocks of 4 (encoder 1 and 2 of row A and row B) with one 10 pin ribbon
cable each block and connect them to SR5, SR6 and SR7 of my second DIN-Module. So far so good.
Normally when mapping encoders they get increasing cc numbers with increasing shift register numbers. That means that the encoders of SR 5 get the numbers 1,2,3 and 4 and the encoders of SR6 get 5,6,7,8 and so on.
But due to my wiring the encoders in row A have 1 2 5 6 9 10 and the encoders in row b have 3 4 7 8 11 12 instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7,8,9,10,11,12.
Question: Can i change this within the c application or is that not possible?
Thank you,
alex

Fozzy i think that you may be right in the application being able to handle this, it just needs to be tweaked slightly in the configuration files, if then the app falls over i will post all progress in rewriting it.
Kind Regards Highpow3rpc
Hey,
i meanwhile had the time to look into the files. It´s not hard to configure it. It´s harder to find the info :p
Download the latest application files (in this case mb64e_v2_2d) and have a look into setup_midibox16e.asm
it´s all documented in there. Change the setup_midibox64e.asm accordingly.
After that you have to compile the file and generate a new .hex that you can upload via mios.
Read the application development article in the wiki on how its done. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/application_development
it´s n00b friendly...i just tried it :)

i haz posted nonsense...

Complain and Zend back! It iz freakin ugly and not haz beauty!

Hey guys,
after his last email in which he promised to send the chips the next day nothing happened again.
After that i wrote him twice but havent got a reply. I then decided to go for the paypal buyer protection and finally got my money back today.
I dont know whats up with this guy since he apparently was a reliable seller but honestly i gave him 8 weeks to sort things out.
So..dont buy from him anymore..at least dont buy outside of eBay...
eBay account has been suspended as well...

i´d love to take the kit. That is exactly what i was looking for, since it is clear, that my sids from other source probably are lost...
pm sent

If it's the same seller as vintagegolden, they should come. I've bought SIDs from him several times. One order was lost in the mail and he replaced them, however communication was a bit slow on his part.
Well, thank you. He replied today after 3 weeks of silence.
Not the smoothest transaction but at least i havent lost my 300$....

Hi and welcome,
unfortunately i can not answer all of your questions, (since i am a serato user :p) but i try to do as best as i can.
3. When i buy the STM-board in SmashTV's shop the bootloader is already programmed. But where can i find the (template) software for the STM32?
The most important issue you should consider is that the software for Midibox64 resp. Midibox64e has not been
"officially" (means by TK) ported yet to the new core32. That means, if you want to build a MB64(e) with core32
you have to code the software yourself or find other members who are already doing so. Look here for applications already running
on core32 http://ucapps.de/mios32_download.html
But for a MB64(e) you dont necessarily need core32, it has been running very well on pic based hardware for years and has been built
a few hundred times (probably).
4. The USB-connection property reduces my choice to the STM32, doesn't it? The PIC does not support USB-connection, right?
USB to Midi is supported as well on PIC based hardware via the GM5 Modul.
Parts:
That very much depends on your location and the part suppliers in this region.
Search the forums first, there are many threads about faders, pots and suppliers.
ALPS makes pretty good faders and pots, relatively expensive though.
There are all kind of knobs from a lot of companies, depends on your supplier as well.
I once bought two original Pioneer rotary plates from a EFX500 directly at a pioneer
service to build some kind of XONE controller...

guys, are any of you in contact with this guy at the moment? i bought a lot of chips a while ago, which i havent received. I contacted him three times during the last 10 days but havent
got a reply yet. Now i am a bit worried about my money...there is always the possibility of the seller having vacations/whatever...but dunno....

did i mention that this works only for the lead engine? :-P

Hey guys,
i wrote my very first M4L patch during a very rainy vacation and thought it would be useful if i could edit the sammichSID in Ableton.
It´s more a work in progress (some functions still missing) than a finished product but it might is helpful for some people.
Due to the fact, that M4L can not handle sysex (and i am not a pretty great programmer anyway) this patch is based on CC-Edit
only. That means it is quite restricted in functions and only supports parameters accessable via CC SID CC Implementation
I might start with an editor based on sysex and a workaround soon but that´s it for the moment. :-) Feel free to comment, modify, share info, whatever...
Known Issues:
When loading the patch it might be necessary to switch presets to get a sound.

Hey Guys,
i sell one 6581 (R4AR / 4986) i have as spare.
18,- incl. shipping in Germany.
Other destinations within Europe possible but shipping is more expensive.
paypal preferred.

Hi,
for a jog wheel( which is an endless rotary knob ) you need an encoder. That means you should go for a Midibox 64e with encoder support.
Pots are supported as well. Many people have built boxes like these, so you will find a lot of information in the forums.
A screen (lc-display) is very helpful during the build process and does not cost a lot (15$) so i would recommend it even when you just hide it
inside your box...
Depending on your design/parts/materials you could do it very cheap or very expensive :-) Up to you...

Hi Andrew,
you might start your research over at albs directly. They have several 100KB pots listed on their stock list here: http://www.albs.de/ecom/stock_de.php?PNR=Rotary+Pot.+RK11K11
There are some whose datasheet is dated 1994 so chances are good you´ll find an appropriate replacement, even thought there is no typ 3n4n listed.
If you need any help reading that let me know.
Over at the synthesizer forum (sequencer.de) are several guys who repair vintage synths. One of them is florian_anwander. You could ask him for help, he is very kind and may gives you
a hint.
But maybe there is a hardware geek here as will who is into old synths...;)

Hi Knoball,
1.) I dont know, never used crap pots.
2.) As far as i know that shouldn´t be a problem. I did so because i am trying to build as small as possible and its working fine when mounted horizontally.
3.) You can kill everything when soldering depending on your temperature and the time you place the iron on the pads. But normally the pads of the lcd are located
at the border of the pcb so that shouldnt be a big problem with a lil reading about soldering and the equipment needed.
Hope someone can answer q4 since i never tried that. :-)

Copngrats! Nice one :-)
Have Fun with it.

VCFOOL solved the problem.
It was still registered with 5 i/o in the OSX Audio/Midi Setup.
