Looking good! Wonder if I should Sammichize that case or not? Put some hex pattern on the side? Table-top sequencing fun for the masses. Who knew? Fantaastic work! Cheers, J

Ohh, that was nice tunage! I gets 90's flashbacks and it's yummy.

Hi all, There are very encouraging signs from Doug so something is stirring in the south-western US. We may see the new MB808s soon-ish. Also, there's the so a decision needs to be made by me, and others as well, I'm sure. How many knobs in total are needed? Any recommended number of each color? I take it that there are 2 encoders so no indicator line for those. Then we have a number of drum voices, what are peoples preferred solutions for these? How many level knobs are there? Frequency etc? It would be nice if anyone who built one from batch 1 or 2 would chime in. Someone in the know? Edit: Took a peek at Altitude's pic in the Sifam thread and came up with 12 level pots, 17 other instrument pots, 2 pots (swing and accent), 2 encoders, 1 master volume and at least 3 suspicious mod pots. Maybe this is way off, if so please correct me! Cheers, J

Yay for some good old acid! Burp!

I've built the 9090 and can recommend it as well. I put it in a 19" rack with a front panel made by JulianF. I was thinking of adding the sequencer bits with a detached CS using no MIDI, or a small stand-alone TR-seq thus enjoying the so-so timing that is MIDI. Hence, I'm interested in more details about the seq integration later down the road. Cheers, J

More pictures!

If it walks like zipper and quacks like zipper it is a duck? Sounds very much like zipper noise, or when I change waveforms on the fly with the data slider on my Prophet VS...

Finally mounted all the PCBs on one of the 2 more or less identical modulars we're building over at the labs. I made some 2cm (0.787 inches if you prefer mongoloid units of measurement) thick strips of brass. Those were perforated with a 10mm hole so that they can sit between the pots and the front panel, then I added a small hole for the M3 screw that fixes it all in place. 2 strips per card ends up in too much metal shop for my liking but the end result is surprisingly sturdy. We opted for using lots of internal (in-panel) wiring as there are enough wires flying to and from the panel as is. The method of mounting the PCBs for all the modules near their panel space made for short cable runs. Now we ended up with one modular with an almost finished pre-wired front panel, one where all the synth PCBs sit where they should. Add the cabinet holding the PSU, add the MB-SEQ PCBs in the top panel of the cabinet, debug beyond the basic short/continuity tests done and we should get some tunage. Grr, it's a long trip but I see the train headlights emerging at the end of the tunnel! Basically, the mechanical (BORING!) aspects of it all takes up nearly the same time as the electronics. Le sigh... But, it will make weird sounds soon

Nice squelchy sounds going there! I take it the exhibition with that laptop chamber orchestra was not at all an inspiration to you. Just add some vocoders and well... Extra points for the elephant and the crossed arms technique :tongue:

Hear hear! Some support for loop points and mode would be nice. The rest of the sample editing could and should be done offline on a proper computer. SD cards cost the same as a roll of film (anyone remember those?) so that's almost a throwaway. Grits, Johan

Nice! It's getting better and better. It would be really cool if there was a way to "unalign" the samples so that you could read and load up to a few sectors. Then it could discard the non-used data and have loop start, loop end and loop mode (fwd/rew/ping-pong/xfade) modes. But, thar's other dedicated things for that. Hardware samplers aren't really in vogue these days, but lo-fi loopers or wavetablers/DCOs are.

Oh yes! Happy birthday TK

I have to try the Adventure Kid AKWF in order to have some fun. It's a massive pack of some 4350 single-cycle waveforms. Get it! Love it! If I get really bored I could load those into my Prophet VS or use slightly less magic and get them into one of my Shruthis. Or just refill it. Choices choices... Nahh, SD card convenience plus dedicated hardware will win the day :flowers: I still get 90's flashbacks from the M1 presets! One day I'll grow up, but that was my guilty pleasures moment of today .

Oh goody! Or something. Now for that F3 (Formulor Fun File) front panel magic :frantics: Must be a relief not to be handling 100 plus peoples packages at the post office. Kudos to all involved!

Welcome to MIDIbox! This is in the spirit of DIY so you'll need to add yourself to the list on the Wiki. Edit: Saw that you did just that. Cheers! In case anyone else need to know: Please take a look at page 2 of this thread plus read the first post. In fact, quickly read most of the thread. It will tell you that you need to: Create a user login on the Wiki page (it's hosted on another server) mentioned in the first post of this thread. Keep your name there the same as your name here.After you've done this you can login to said Wiki and add yourself to the list using your identical handle both there and here so that TK knows that it's you.Add up the total amount on the last row (more for ritual reasons I think)Be aware that you also need to get a CORE_LPC board from SmashTV in the USGet an LPCxpresso board (LPC1769) from Embedded Artists or Watterott Good luck!
