i want to build a controller with around 60 pots/faders, 50 buttons, 50 leds and 5 rotary encoders. is it best to build a 64e and incorporate the pots as has been described, or build a 64 and somehow try to incorporate the encoders as i remember reading somewhere that there is a "trick" to use encoders with the 64.... any help is appreciated!!! Joost

I figured it out. I wasnt getting upload requests in mios studio when i powered the core. UNLESS (get this) i restart mios studio and re-configure midi routing. I then power the core and get a single upload request message. First i tried uploading a new MIOS but got an error. Then i try the midibox64 app...and it upload beautifully! WEIRD maybe this is a bug in mios studio? Now the core is sending LOTS of midi messages from channels 11-16, values randomly less than 12. Why could this be? I have a single pot attached as such http://www.jdb-design.com/DSC00007(Large).JPG.

I have been trying to re-upload the MIOS and APP but nothing is being sent. When i power the thing it displays the Mios v1.9d message, then the screen goes blank, and nothing is being uploaded...... I am really stuck now. is my pic dead :'(??

After i uploaded the mios the first time and then when i booted it said "Mios v1.9d......" and then something like "MIOS is up to date with the lastest version" Then when i tried uploading the application when the screen started going blank..... What you have suggested is what i have been trying....is it possible somehow to empty the core and re-update the Mios and try the app a second time? Joost

I just uploaded the MIOS with no problems. I then download midibox64_v2_4.zip (which i think is what i need right for a midibox64) and attempt to upload the file and it gives me the message "Starting upload of main.HEX Sending block 00003000-000030FF" and then sits there doing nothing for 60 minutes. At this point I conclude something must have gone wrong, hit "Stop" to try again and same problem. Now when i power on the core I get the message "MIOS v1.9D ©2007 T. Klose" and then the screen goes blank. The LED on the LTC module that was blinking every 2 sec before the MIOS was uploaded (i guess sending upload request signals) blinks once when the core is powered and then stays lit. Anyone know what I am doing wrong here???? Thanks, Joost

hehe ok...got a reply from mike and he says that it is not necessary to put the caps on the board and it will work without...hmmmm there must be a reason for them. this is annoying, so i either build it without, go find them in some local electronics shop around here in amsterdam, or email mike to send me more caps.

hey guys, i am just building a AINX4 module i bought from www.mikes-elektronikseite.de but both AINX4 kits he sent me have only 3 bypass caps included....do i only need 3 or is this a packaging mistake? from this page http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_ain.html I would think that I need to hook up 4 of them... any help is appreciated. i emailed the company but no reply as of yet.

wow you guys are CNC milling your faceplates??? I was planning to just manually drill holes in a piece of aluminium. i do however have access to a cnc machine at my university so i may be able to use....could i design the front panel in illustrator? would a cnc machine accept that type of vector file?

woa....that makes 2 ppl that want to know if this is possible. great idea! i will change my design if this is possible

well, i just installed it and my first go i mixed live over my vinyl with no problems at all!!! this thing looks like its awesome, easy to link up to midi controller aswell. i wonder if its possible to use a pot instead of just pushing and holding a button down to "push and pull" the music.

well...this push and pull program looks cool. can anyone familiar with live confirm that this is the best solution for synching live with turntables. i would prefer to work from within live without any 3rd party software but this seems like a good solution.

Yes I know what you mean! I am currently looking for pretty small push buttons with integrated LED lights and also a rotary encoder with push action built in...really hard to find. p.s. here is a link to a modded xone 92 with midi functions for inspiration http://www.richiehawtin.com/CTRL/CTRL92RevA.swf

also i like the metronome and tempo controls, i will add those to mine aswell. for the scrub and left/right buttons, is that to synch up live to an already playing source such as a turntable?

im not being funny...but, how?

Wow awesome, I would like to implement this on my controller. Rowan could you explain how you have implemented the -MIDINoteFeedback hack?? That article about follow actions doesnt tell me much. Thanks!
