They have whole forums for LED's? OMG! I've always wanted people to discuss the contents of my knightbright catalogue with. ***G runs off to find one*** Do they have knob forums too?

Rackmount cases for under $20 too.

Then there's no humanity left in this world.

Mine's arrived. I think I missed a few things off whilst ordering though (4N37 and another IC + Resistors), I should be able to get them though, I tink I already have some 4n37's (First time for everything!) and the hard to find AC variant of the chip can be swapped with an AC variant. Thanks for your efforts Prof, it's appreciated as ever. Let me know when you're next in Bradford and I'll try and make it over to thank you with a beer!

Fnaaaar Fnaaar! :o Very Nice looking box, well done on your DIY knobs, they look very proffesional.

As you were then! ;D

Wow, that's a lot bigger than I thought it was (Now I see it along side the MB-6582.) I think what Wilba says about having the keyboard on the right for live persormances is right though, makes it a lot easier for playing whilst tweaking! Looking good though.

My mum's got Vista on her laptop. It went wrong and I couldn't fix it! I found it very hard to work with and service if it goes wrong, to the extent that I had to do a re-install because some of the hardware stopped working. All the nice handy menu's have disappeared but I daresay there's a way of making it look like XP. As mentkioned elsewhere, it eats RAM. tis supposed to run fine on 1GB but 2GB is a better number. There is something funky that you can do with a USB memory stick to make it run faster (I don't think it uses it as actual RAM, but maybe uses it for the paging file??) I'm guessing the price from Dell is if they supply both windows XP and Vista. Give them a ring and try and get them to just supply Vista. As for computer specs. My home PC is an AMD 1.2MHZ (Board and Processor Aquired from someone doing an upgrade), 768 MB RAM, 256MB Graphics card (had been chucked out in an old PC I found on the street), >400GB storage (100GB bought very cheaply from other people's upgrades). This is fine for what I do. I can play a lot of games, run office software easily, internet browsing, video ripping, watch DVDs, etc, etc I daresay it's be more than enough for developement I used to cheat with the windows XP license too.... They sent me a 180 day free trial of XP. I like to re-install every 6 months or so anyway to keep a fast running machine. I'm not sure if this makes me a bad person or not :/ . I have since got a full version of windows anyway. Whereabouts do you live? Is there no other source for cheap computers, maybe on the second hand market? E

Hi stryd_one, I'm sorry I don't understand what you are refering to, by 'finding your post with your bookmarks'?

I recieved a response from Albs this morning. I had ordered some extra parts which had to be forwarded on from elsewhere. Albs had sent a few emails but unfortunately they didn't get through the Spam filters at work. I have asked that if the extra parts are not here in the next couple of days then they should be sent on at a later date. Apologies for this, we're back on track now anyway. E

Just another quick update. I still haven't recieved the package so rang ALBS earlier and spoke to someone. Unfortunately Balthasar was out but the person i spoke to will speak to him tomorrow and find out what the holdup is. E

I think it took a few of us a little while to notice that it was an old thread. It amused me anyway!

+1 :D

I've just found a AY-38912 hardplayer project that plays YM files from an SD or MMC card. It looks like he's done this at a start and then is looking at makign amidi capable synth using that chip. http://tolaemon.com/hplayer/

I'm wanting to build a TFT and OHP based projector. The cheap TFT display that I'm looking at only has a VGA input. Does anybody know fo a circuit to convert Scart to VGA without loosing a lot of quality?

Reverse engineering? ;D

A nice big 2x40 LCD display by the looks of things... Do I win a prize? ;D

Just looking through ebay and I found a x0xbox. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x0xb0x-xOxbOx-Analog-Synthesizer-TB-303-Clone-Killer_W0QQitemZ110294551153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110294551153&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 The knobs look terrible, surely the pots should have been trimmed... a "qualified synth/service technician" would have finished it off properly.

That's great. Everybody screws up, it's how they deal with it/sort it out that counts. I think it's just as important to shout about good experiences as it is to shout about the bad. E

Are you sure your server is going to be able to handle this?

Hmnn,, maybe that's my problem... I've been de-bugging for these last few weeks, maybe i need to start re-bugging! ;D

I'll be posting mine when it's finished... ***G goes off to grumble at dodgy control surface***

There isn't a manual specific to using the MB-6582. It is pretty much just a (very very nice looking uber-sexy) SID V2 though with a few little tweaks... If you read through the SID v2 manual on ucapps http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual.html then that should give you a start.

Hmnnn, he's been keeping it secret too... Just waiting for the right moment to rub our noses in it. ;D
