White does sound appealing. Are there any examples of white being tinted by the color of the window?

Count me in for 3 displays 2 for seq - 1 for mbfm To clarify, can we pick which color? Green is my preference

Need some guidance with the dedicated remix button assignment. I successfully updated to 4.058 This is what I changed in the MBSEQ_HW file # Following button functions are usually assigned to Fx # buttons, or to dedicated (labeled) buttons # In Wilba's frontpanel layout: # F1 is located at SR 19 Pin 3 # F2 is located at SR 18 Pin 2 # F3 is located at SR 18 Pin 3 # F4 is located at SR 17 Pin 2 # and there are dedicated buttons for Copy/Paste/Clear/Utility/StepView # SR Pin BUTTON_TRACK_SEL 19 3 BUTTON_BOOKMARK 18 2 BUTTON_PATTERN_RMX 18 3 BUTTON_PATTERN_RMX 17 2 (They are only in bold to show you what was changed) I tried it on two different "f" buttons separately and then on both. The track select and bookmark manager views come right up when I select them on the hardware but the remix buttons don't show anything and act unresponsive. Am I missing a line of text anywhere? Can someone help please? Regards, Chris

Just curious if anyone is willing to share their case designs yet?

Gonna drill that usb hole this week! I played wth my fiends Korg Monotribe and having a lot of fun with it. One thing that it does that I wish MBSEQ would do is the extra 8 steps in between the regular 8 steps. This was added to v2. The really nice thing is that to get to the other steps all you have to do is hold the instrument select key down and the sequence row will change to the other steps. I know MBSEQ can change dividers on every track but it would be Sooo nice to have this feature as I have never jived with MBSEQ's roll and I would have to use up 2 tracks on MBSEQ to achieve this. This could be accomplished by simply holding down the track select key of the track you want to input the dotted,triplet, etc steps. Then you would see a new set of empty steps to edit and when you let go the regular steps are in view again. I can see that there would be problems with trying to hold the track select, parameter layer and notes and turn knobs s maybe it should be "hold track select for 1&1/2 seconds to enable to in-between steps. I am sure there are other complications such as the way we currently hold down several track select buttons to do a muli-solo. Although I do not find myself using that feature often as the mute page suffices. What do you think? Regards,

Well unfortunately I cannot upload a new hw config file. I knew I should have drilled a hole in my case for the USB jack.... Of course I broke my drill awhile back and my SD card is not accessible either... no remix page for me. I at least updated to v4 non beta!

new customer meaning buying from Heidenreich directly right? Not some one form MB Fourms? If we can get 6 more to join in... I may want two myself if the cost is low enough. I'll have to look into why the LPC would not fit. It seems like there would be plenty of space. Chris

Just curious if there is a desire to run another bulk order of these cases?

Would running a DI box help signal hum for a MBFM or MBSID? My MBFM is a little noisy and am wondering if a DI box would help get rid of some of the buzz. I read a post somewhere here where someone fixed a hum problem on their FM with different resistors and capacitors. I'd rather not open up my midibox and am looking into a mixer that uses stereo xlr inputs for the line level channels (not normal I know) So I am wondering instead of buying more 1/4" to xlr cables or adapters, would a DI make more sense in the long run? Or should I just desolder the xlr jacks on the mixer and put TRS jacks in instead? What is the impendence of the MBFM? I built it using the standard equipment list off Smash's site. Right now I have my MBFM going directly into a cheap behringer 1/4" line in but want to take a crack at using good eq while recording.

Would this work on the smt chip?

I'm glad you didn't because not only were you on the money with the rew button, even though your on PATT 01, I also had the Rm1x midi mode as Internal. The Rm1x clock was rewinding to the external tempo because I believe it has the same master slave options that MBSEQ can do. For some reason I did not pick up on this. Working fine now :) Regards

I am going to update today but I have to move my pc and reconnect everything :( Plus my drill broke before I was able to drill out the USB hole on my case. I am currently trying to transfer patterns programmed on the MBSEQv4 (beta 36 still) to my Rm1x using the RM1x record mode. I am having trouble with the start timing. The Rm1x is slaved to the MBseq so when I start the MBSEQ the Rm1x will go into record and do its thing but the Rm1x starts about 1 milisecond after the MBSEQ and cannot properly loop what the MBSEQ has sent to it. I can try to not sync them and record manually but this is not ideal. Is there any way to start the MBSEQ on time but delay all the notes and their cc's so the Rm1x will record them as a proper loop on playback? Or is there a better way to do this? Can it be done from one of the MBSEQ Txt files? Ideally it would be a utility menu function. I have tried all the different modes on the Rm1x but the issue is for sure in the start timing between the two devices and maybe the Rm1x causes a very tiny delay when set to record mode. Long story short, I want to offload my MBSEQs drum tracks into the Rm1x which can play those and free up the MBSEQ for the synths. The Rm1x is pretty good at programming sequences but the MBSEQ blows it out of the water. This way I can dedicate the Rm1x to play back without having to program the beats on it which is much more time consuming than on the MBSEQ. I can understand why this issue does not really come up as, most of us, are probably using a PC to transfer the MBSEQ note data to because you can just drag the notes back or as i seen you mention before ,TK, that ou do a negative delay in Logic but hardware can be a pickle in these cases. Of course I have to ask now... Has this already been worked out? I did not see it in the change list anywhere except "added DEBOUNCE_DELAY to MBSEQ_HW.V4". And speaking of debounce (off topic). I have a couple encoders that want to turn backwards half of the time. They were from Wilba's bulk run (soundwell). They seem like good encoders. Maybe its a solder issue but I am now curious if there is a debounce delay for encoders. Regards, Chris

Once again I am blown away by the support you give us! Thanks TK!!

Hey every body, Been awhile since I stopped by. I am even still on beta 36 or some where around there! I left playing the MBSEQ for awhile to try other things but now I am back on track! I realized that yamaha makes good drumkits which are GM midi compatible and MBSEQ drum tracks are premapped for this! I have been playing with a friends RM1X drum machine and recently bought my own I am connecting it to the MBSEQ. The RM1X has a nice feature for re-triggering patterns. You can set the value to either 1 measure of 1/16th of a measure and the RM1X will go right into the other pattern in either 1/16th of a bar or in 1 bar. In my old (current) MBSEQv4 version when I press for example A.2 it will cycle to a.2 after the current measure has passed. I think there was a way to change this but I cannot remember how? And also I think it was pattern specific. The RM1X does this globally for all tracks at the same time. Can we get an option to be able to, for example, be in pattern A, then as soon as I press 1 through 8, the MBSEQ will go right into which ever one I choose. The 2 behaviours I can think of right now would either be "restart from beginning) or "continue from whereever the master length is at in the pattern". This leads me to my next question/request. Can we have all four groups and there patterns change globally in sync. I find many times that I would like to change all of the patterns at the same time. If I could just press A.2 and change all 4 patterns ( implemented as an option) I would be grateful.

Been awhile since I stopped by. TK You made a ton of progress! I am curious now, after building v4L and the Lemur BLM, is the BLM in use with the MBSEQv4 still the way to go? or can you run the two sequencers side by side and use the one lemur BLM to switch between the two quickly? Are you now using all three together? I'm going to get an iPad sometime in the near future just for lemur with your template and after seeing the v4lite now I want to build one too. I'm still trying to figure out this statement. If I have just a router connecting the two it will work? The iPad will be wireless and the v4L will be wired to the router? Will this work with MBSEQv4 also? Things are getting crazy around here :) Regards

Really sad to part with her. MB-6582 is complete minus 3 of the 4 gang pots on the back are not mounted which only affect the sound a tiny bit and just add a little bit of distortion. I have the other 3 and will include them along with 2x spare 6582 sid chips and a spare cs pcb. Besides that the left side of the lcd display still needs to be mounted but the right side is mounted so the lcd just has a slight downward slope to the left where its at now. Works great and the lcd works just as everything else works. Fully stuffed 8x 6582 sids, panel, pactec case, everything. You can take this home and hook it up without any fuss as its ready to go and fully functional. You will need stereo TRS 1/4" to 2x mono 1/4" TS cables to get stereo out of each sid pair ( this is how the unit is designed) Lava cable can make them for you and I strongly recommend you buy all your cables from them regardless. One last note, the data encoder currently does not have a 1:1 click:increment so when you turn the data encoder 1 click it will advance 3-4 steps instead of the intended 1. This can easily be fixed by going in to the text file and changing the encoder type and reloading the firmware. Selling for cost of parts + shipping. PM if interested. I am including a c64 power supply as well.

Awesome! now if we could only get the midi "in" to play the delays in real time too! I really like live playing a keyboard into the seq but wish the delays would work this way. If not no biggie :) Ihave not even really plungged into beta41 enough yet but I'm real interested to see what you have up your sleeve for 42! Thanks again TK!!!

Do you mean just the screw holes or the whole panel cut out by hammond NOT FPE?

When seq is playing the play key will stay lit and when its stoped the stop key will stay lit and same for the pause key. The ff and rew keys only light up when pressed and turn off when not pressed.

Now the troubleshooting ... Using beta#40 I've tried MIOS studio 2 and my midi keyboard and tried hitting c-7 and also tried c-8 to activate remote control then hit c-6 or c-7 to try to play the sequence and I get nothing. MIOS is on CH1 on the correct interface out port. Both MIOS and the midi keyboard are going directly in to MIDI IN #1 of sequencer using a midiman merge box. I've tried running both separate without the merge box as well. Is there anything else I am missing? Do you have to do something on the SEQ itself? I tried the c-7 enabling and hitting lots of keys as well but there is no connection at all it seems. Does the midi router come into play here?

Right in my face. :pinch: Thanks!

Stuartm: don't forget to share your txt file :whistle: TK: Maybe not a request and just my non-understanding: I'm messing with manual trigger mode and I really like selecting all 16 tracks and hitting stop and just playing out new stuff in a juggling live style. I don't wanna break my precious mbseq buttons. I remember there was a way to remotely control parameters of the mbseq but I can't remember where that was. I recall it was not in the UI but in a txt file maybe? I would like to use a midi controller for triggering mbseq steps AND when needed, use it for live playing/recording on tracks like a standard keyboard controller. This would be preferred to me. Or could I use another midi in of the seq to dedicate remote controlling for the sequencer while still using the other midi input? Would anyone else would find this useful? Can a bookmark have all 16 tracks selected for editing?

Hey yall, I'm trying to run my mbfm drums out of another ouput channel. Thats the easy part. But I am trying to get all my other sounds not going to that 2nd channel (only want output #1) I went into ensemble and scrolled all the way to the right for the op12, op34 routing and changed my 4 mbfm tracks to only show 1 and not 1234 but they all still come out of channel two, 3 and 4. I have seperate audio lines ran to each individual ouput on the MBFM. Am I missing something? Maybe I have a short somewhere as I noticed now the drums are still coming out of channel 1 as well! It must be a short somewhere right?

I have been thinking about RATOPC my self as well. Just randomly thinking here, what about a way to be in the pattern page and press A1 and ALL 16 tracks change to A1. Is this already possible by using the "track select" func button to select all 16 tracks? I'll have to try that. This would make having the additional/optional 16 individual track buttons even better if I ever get around to soldering. This would be nice! Lets test it out and see what happens. Thanks for everything! This thing is on its way to super pro.
