Can someone put up a video demo of the Step Trigger Function on the MIDIbox SEQ?
We need more SEQ videos!
-
Does this happen on every page of the sequencer?
if so, i would open it up and start checking for shorts on the control surface, like bridged solder points.
You could also reflow each solder joint to make sure, and be sure to clean the board with isoprpyl alcohol to remove any flux residue that may be causing th issue.

Here you go:

Using a second chip sounds like the easiest solution, I dont want my request to distract from the important features you're working on.
I would definitely be interested in a front panel board! Thanks.
Really appreciate all the hard work youre putting into this!

Hi Sauren,
I have a simple feauture request.
I would love to be able to play my favourite VGM files live on keyboard, like a lead melody on one channel or whatever.
Would it be possible to be able to press a button that mutes the sequence data for a channel during VGM playback, but not muting the channel itself, thus allowing you to play it with a keyboard yourself?
I hope this is clear!
How is the development going on with this project? Do you have free time in the new year to work on it?
I'd love to see this get finished, its an awesome device. Was talking to Dya / Aaron about your device earlier and he would love to build one also! -

Hmm, well that's what @Hawkeye's LoopA is supposed to do, but then there's already the MidiREX
https://midisizer.com/midirex/
Yeah, i cant seem to find any demo videos of the MIDIRex to see exactly how it works though.
I'm going to have start my own thread on a dream looper / sequencer. I'm thinking of something like the Kaoss Pad 3 style interface, but for MIDI instead of audio.
Essentially an encoder used to set the pattern length (which can be done live during playback) and a numeric LED display, (or LCD Display) indicating the length of the pattern.
There could also be an option to manually stop / end the pattern by pressing a button, like the Boss RC-505 and have it automatically trim the length based on the MIDI data.
I seriously need to get this out of my head, even if no one develops it!
I find the fact you have to pre-initialise tracks on the MB-SEQ a bit of a short coming, then again I don't have one to critique! Im sure it makes up for it in the amount of features packed in. -
I guess a redeveloped SEQ with an emphasis on Live Looping is out of the question then! ;)
I think we need to recruit / hire more developers who don't mind working for free! -

Alternatively, could I use a standard c64 tracker and then punch the values in the wavetable sequencer in MIOS?
in MIOS Studio?
MIOS Studio is for uploading the firmware to MIDIbox SID, asfaik it never had a wavetable sequencer built in to it! :)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
Your best bet is using Rutgers editor. -
I'm actually stoked with how Sauraen's MIDIbox Genesis project can support vgm files for playing back sequences or ripping instruments.
I even purchased the FMDrive VST tonight which supports VGM import also, i cant wait to play classic Sega tracks with the real / emulated hardware. -

^^^ so this doesn't edit wavetables?
So the only way to program wavetable sequences is through the MIOS menu?
Is there any non-Hex windows based application that can edit sequences? I hate to say it..but Mode Machines had a really nice way to do it.
Have a look at Rutger's Java based editor for MIDIbox SID. The wavetable implementation is complete:

There was a SID sound extractor created for the older HardSID PCI Cards by a guy called Ted Nilsen, called HardSID Ripper.
You can download an .avi clip of it in action from his site, but you cannot download the tool itself:
http://www.tednilsen.com/index.html#hSIDRipper
I actually contacted the guy on facebook a good while back asking if he would be interested in sharing the source code for the SID communities,which would not just benefit us, but users of HardSID4u and even the SIDStation.
But he just replied with "let me get back to you on that" and havent heard from him since which is a shame!
Also, theres no telling now how well it performs across all SID files, he only shows 2 Rob Hubbard SID which would have a similar routine, it may not perform so well with other artists routines.
Still though, its a real shame the author of the hardware is going to let it die considering the effort that went into developing it. -
Thanks a lot for sharing your work Mongrol.
It will be awesome for the community to have a ready to order and cheaper option for a case!

Excellent eye candy Antichambre!
Claire I'm looking forward to watch your idea develop, will be keeping a close eye.
The Monome Arc is a thing of beauty, as used by one of my favourite electronic music artists James Holden:

Excellent work Andy!
I personally find the dark -> one bright colour the most "readable" and logical for unipolar values i.e. 0% -> 100%
For bipolar values I think:
Left bright colour -> centre dark <- right birght colour
would be the most readable and logical.
Its great that we can change the script to suit our individual needs.

Congratulations Sylwester! This will be an excellent tool for the MIDIbox community.

As far as I can see the LPC 17 Core PCB is not available to buy anymore from Smash TV's and Mikes Midibox shops but you can still buy the newer CORE STM32F4 PCB and kit from SmashTV.
http://midiboxshop.bigcartel.com/
Keep in mind you would need to purchase the STM32F407G-DISC1 evaluation board externally.
That would be the easiest way to proceed.
You should always make sure all components are available to buy (such as the PCB) before ordering anything, it can save cost in the long run. :)

Amazing work Sauren.
This video just popped up on my youtube feed, if only we could build something like this for SID but with the non linearity of SID files it would probably be near impossible!

What keyboard is it exactly?

Very nice! Next time with a headmounted GoPro!
What's that you're tweaking just underneath the mixer?
Best,
He's playing with his "red knob", hehehehe.

Thanks Hawkeye! U R GOOD FRIEND!
Rutgers Editor confused my understanding of the Wavetable Sequence:
I thought the knobs "Start Pos" and "End Pos" related to the Steps of the sequence.
But as Hawkeye explained they are Memory Addresses hence the $ sign.
TK Y U NEED 2 B PROGRAMMAR TO PLAY MBSID!
U R BAD FRIEND! ;)Just kidding, you are awesome friend.

So in the Wavetable Sounds Tutorial #1 Page for MIDIbox SID V1, there is this jsynthlib screenshot:
This makes sense to me, it shows 2 different Parameters starting at Step 00.
However if I try to do it on MBSID V2, it duplicates the values for both parameters:
.jpg.7d72ba69254fd98a3ad7d9623814e3fe.jpg)
If I increase the value for Parameter one (Column 2) it also increases the value for parameter 2 (Column 3).
Rutgers Editor also only allows one value to be entered.
This seems to be the same in both the Lead and Multi Engine.
Is there a way of entering seperate values for each parameter, when they both start at step 00?
Thanks.

Hi TK,
I'm having a lot of fun with wavetables recently, and ripping them from SID Tunes.Do you have upcoming plans to add the Wavetable Editor to Ctrl?
I'm particularly interested in using the Multi Engine for wavetables.
I know you have a hectic schedule but it would be nice to see the Ctrl panel finalized.
It would be nice to have a full editor you can use fully offline (without connecting to the MIDIbox SID)A lot of the time Rutger's Editor Crashes and dumps a log file when I close the patch editor window and click Yes to Save.
Kind Regards.

2 more patches up.
Driving Bass:
and Strings, because MB-SID needs more strings!
I recommend loading the Strings patch across all 4 cores and enabling the Super Poly mode.

Hori Sheet, are those videos huge nao!
Here's a whole 1 patch i made recently.
Y PWM with Sawtooths? Becoz orignally was pusle wave patch.
But i liked the sawtoothens moar.
