Hi Bug fight I'm sure the interface is very good - I use a 2x2 midisport but like I said I'm sure I have seen issues on a couple of sites - can't remember which maybe Guitar Rig or Behringer Uno. It is worth a try then it can be eliminated and maybe check the cables too. Aus

I'm not really the most informed person on here (honest lo) but I did notice your using a M Auio Uno - I have noticed on other forums Behringer Uno etc that people have had lots of problems with this interface. Is there any chance you can borrow a different interface and try that ? I hope that helps ish Aus

Hi been trying to sort out a joystick for my planned Midibox 64 did the usual search ;) and found that using a poc joystick might be cheap and good fun. I opened up a Logitech Extreme 3D and did tests on the pots and they come back at between 20k and 100k - Is the Midi box able to scale the pot response to what it needs or do all pots need to be 10k? I hope this makes sense. Cheers Aus

sorry to disappoint everyone but just noticed delivery is $60 to Uk SO I think I'll pass lol But if anybody tries one and has one spare please let me know (unless shipping is $60!) Aus

ok I think I will, actually be rude not too as long as I can always post a question or two lol Keep you posted Aus

I got a bit lost on this one - will they work with a normal Midi Box project ? lol I presume so and the other stuff is just a sizing issue with the pcbs Aus

Hi just in the process of buying my parts for a midibox when I came across this on EBAY http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Futaba-4X20-LCD-Emulator-VFD-NA204SD02-4-Line-20-Char_W0QQitemZ220400064332QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item220400064332&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177 Has anybody used them and are they compatible it does say that its HD44780 compliant but I just wanted to check first. Cheers Aus

Thanks Stryd, I did do a search first but I got a bit lost and I couldn't find what I was looking for but I think I have found what I want now. Cheers Aus

Hi its a little off topic but just wondered if anybody had any ideas where I can get a power supply that is 230v in 17VAC CT output 750mA on a 5 pin din plug. Its for an old midi mitigator controller. I have contacted Condor the makers of the original but as yet I have had no response. If anybody knows where I can find a couple I would be VERY grateful indeed. Cheers Aus P.S Sorry Stryd

Hi just trying to find a x - y axis joystick but really struggling , I did find a couple of Doepfer's web site but just wondered if there were any more out there to choose from. Aus

Cheers Strophlex, I had a quick look and it seems it can be done just needs programming and as I have no idea how to program in C I'll leave it for the time being lol. Regarding powering the unit if I supply over 500mA to the board will the regulators over heat ? or will it just take what it needs like stompboxes? Aus

thanks Stryd, and everyone else - you've been a massive help. Looks like I'm ordering this weekend. I might even do a post on how I'm getting on so others don't have to ask all the same silly questions. The Dinout module that controls the LED's can that be controlled by Ableton to show clips playing or is that way to advanced at this stage? Aus

cheers for that , sort of getting the whole thing now. Pretty much got the whole thing planned out now, BUT just one thing :) On Smash's pcb kits he has the pins for all interboard connections is there a plug I can get somewhere to fit or is it just as easy to solder multicable between the boards

thanks for that one had been looking in Rapid but RS will do lol Also found some on ebay. Just one last one though - Any ideas on PIC ID as its my first is that not important?

Hi bit of a noob question but where can I get 74HC165 chips in the UK have checked rapid and maplin to no avail. Any help gratefully received. Cheers Aus
