Hi, I'm building a midibox LC. I've connected some motorfaders (alps)for testing. Fast movements go very well, but slow movements go really jumpy (jittering?), no smooth movement at all, as i would expect. I changed the 1K pot on the mf module to a 2k5, in order to get more power for the motors. now i have 9V instead of 6.3V. But it's still the same...slow movements are jumpy...looks like if the fader is too hard to move slowly for the motors. Another question: As i understand, it would be possible to use 2X24 lcd's instead of 2X40. But which changes do I have to do? And where? I'm not able to understand the programming very well. Is there anyone who can help me out on this? I'm using the midibox LC V2.0 alpha version (see attachment) midibox_lc_v2_0_alpha1.zip midibox_lc_v2_0_alpha1.zip

Thank you guys, this covers my questions. I have another small problem though. I've connected some motorfaders for testing. Fast movements go very well, but slow movements go really jumpy, no smooth movement at all, as i would expect. I changed the 1K pot on the mf module to a 2k5, in order to get more power for the motors. now i have 9V instead of 6.3V. But it's still the same...slow movements are jumpy...looks like if the fader is too hard to move slowly for the motors. (the top connection of the motors is 5V, but i don't realize why this 5V is needed) Anyone recognizes this problem? regards, Sven

Thanks for the quick reply! Display is doing lot's of things now, but it's not very clear to me yet. I guess i need some more experimenting :-) about the 2 cores issue...i'm using cubase sx...When i was reading the manual of mackie control for cubase i understood that if you select a channel and then press "eq"...you will be able to define eq-parameters, using v-pots (and parameters on lcd) . But if i select a channel from 9-16 (2nd core) and than press the eq-button (which is connected to 1st core)...is this function working on the 2nd core? kind regards, Sven

Hi, I'm buildin a midibox lc. For now i'm just testing wikt a 2x16 lcd display. I'm planning to use 2x24 displays. But the only thing i can see on de display is changes like mute, record, solo and the number of the selected channel. I'm trying to access parameter settings or anything.. but i can't make it work. All functions seem to work, but only the display stays the same. can anyone tell me how to switch screens? or is this not working because i'm using a 2x16 display? second question: if i want to use 16 faders i will need 2 cores (actually 2 midibox lc's) and 2 midi i/o. I wonder how to use one control panel (action keys, transport,...) for 2 cores. Anyone know how this is done? Greatz, Sven
