Sorry, didn't see your message as the notification settings were broken for a while.
I can't say anything about Hauptwerk but you should be able to monitor debug events in MIOS Studio. I would try to diagnose the DIN/DOUT functions and matrices first at the hardware level.
-
I'm no NG expert, but what is the exact event/ the parameters used? Do you set specific ports for example? Maybe post the config and somebody could help.
-
Many thanks for reporting and I'm glad it works! Is the hub also connected to the computer and sending data that way? There is an OTG startup sequence where the devices have to decide who's the boss. Maybe things don't make it that far if there's too much going on with the datalines. Just speculation!
-
Sorry, I managed to upload one twice. The quell PCB functions as a terminator, so you clamp unused inputs to 0V.
-
I recently designed Eurorack versions of DIN and AIN, still need to test but hopefully in the next few weeks,
@Antichambre maybe you should start your own thread as to not mix up things, thanks.
Have fun!

Not sure I understand fully. You adjust the trim pot to get the scaling as linear as possible, i.e. the trimmer should be set so each octave step is as close as possible to the target voltage. Then you use the SEQ encoders to finely adjust for each volt setting. The DAC can't drive negative bits, so there is a limit to the lowest setting. But the remaining octaves should be very linear.
Did you already see @Hawkeye's video on the calibration procedure?

Sounds like it could be a software bug, in which case the following thread is the place for it:

One other idea: you could try plugging directly into the 407v board (mini USB cable). Here is the schematic, maybe some of the jumpers are helpful?

Some Mouser parts have longer lead times at the moment. Here's a few suggestions:
595-SN74HC595DR ->
595-SN74HC595D (just non-reel packaging)
490-SJ1-3535NG ->
490-SJ1-3535NG-BE (blue)
594-K104K15X7RF53L2 ->
75-1C10X7R104K050R
806-KCDX-5S-S2 ->

There's a few settings in the HWCFG to check e.g. (search "fast")
# the speed value for GP encoders which is used when the "FAST" button is activated: ENC_GP_FAST_SPEED 3 # Auto FAST mode: if a layer is assigned to velocity or CC, the fast button will be automatically # enabled - in other cases (e.g. Note or Length), the fast button will be automatically disabled ENC_AUTO_FAST 1 # the speed value for the BPM encoder which is used when the "FAST" function is activated ENC_BPM_FAST_SPEED 3
Can you check if altering these changes things to your liking?
Of course, some features might have been "broken" by hard-coding functions. In the Wilba SEQ version, there was one common fast button, no matter what encoder was pressed. In the v4+ we have all of the encoders on dedicated DIN inputs (matrix) to allow for different customisation.
-
The v4+ does nothing different to your previous method: the ID pin is grounded when in OTG mode and floating otherwise. Maybe check pin PA10 is correctly grounded on the wCore PCB/breakout? Cabling issue or missing contact through the 2x25 pinheader? Perhaps the value for R3 on the USB board is too conservative and 100R would be better.

Hi George,
I'm not 100% on how it all works and could be wrong, but to my knowledge you shouldn't see any MIDI data on the computer from the slaved device plugged into USBA. So my first guess is that you should unplug the computer; you can't (or shouldn't be able to) have the SEQ as both host and slave at the same time. You could then check the SEQ MIDI monitor and route it out a different DIN port.
Second thought is that the controller (which ones, so we can consider making a whitelist?) does not initialise properly.
Best,
Andy -
Green and gold!
We're keeping track here:

Your connections are unclear; do you use the buttons in a matrix or directly connected to DIN pins? For direct connections, one common wire must be connected to 0V (ground), not to a digital input! Switches then trigger when the inputs connect to 0V.
Matrix wiring is more complicated and you have to arrange the buttons and LEDs (electrically, not necessarily layout-wise) in grids.
-
I suppose you mean an AOUT with MAX525? What app are you testing with? The SEQ has a calibration part too.
But first, have you adjusted the trim pots to give a good scaling factor? The DAC with external reference outputs a voltage between 0-2.048V with graduations of 1/4096. The gain equation is also on the page.
-
Nice, and good to know!
-
Hmm, breaks the MIDI standard a bit :) Sorry about your switches!
It must be possible because the BLM can start and stop the SEQ, but that is in a compressed/non-standard format. I don't think it's anything simple and would need some firmware hacking but I guess it's possible.
-
All that MIOS cares about is the position of the respective register in the chain. You can also run parallel chains of DIN/DOUT (no mixing in this case) by attaching three IDC plugs on the ribbon that attaches to the Core.
-
You should be able to set the SEQ to slave from a MIDI start stop message? Or maybe I don't understand your question. But no, I don't think it's possible to assign a CC as a start/stop, at least not without recoding/hacking something.
-
@mfk your skills will be just fine! All of the parts are huge by SMT standards and several builders have completed even with no prior DIY experience. And, as Peter says, there's actually a fair amount of THT there too :)

Wow, was very nicely written and explains everything well. Thanks for the heads-up!

No waiting list! There might be a teaser soon but it's hard to guess timelines at the moment. Hopefully there'll be something to tease shortly.

Troubleshooting midiphy SEQ v4+
in MIDIbox SEQ

Hi,
These encoders should be decent, so I wouldn't think the encoder had gone bad. Rather, there might be an interconnection issue. The 9th encoder is connected to pins 4 and 5 of J1, so check that you get good contact there. If the pins don't reach far enough into the through-board header you might get an intermittent contact.
Check all solder points too as you might have a dry joint etc.
Best,
Andy
