Yay! Beer! Did you install anything beyond the bootloader that was on the chips? Like, the test tone app, updated the bootloader (can be done later), or the SID app? You then need to move the selector and install the SID application on the other cores as well, or use the MENU key on your not yet built control surface to clone the app from the master core. See here: http://ucapps.de/mid..._manual_hw.html I have a vague memory of doing this like so:Each core got handled the test tone app, I attached the LCD and tested those SIDs in those sockets, but this was done during summer a few years ago... Then upgraded the bootloader to what was then the current using the bootloader upgrade procedure, then the latest MB SID v2 app on core 1, then I did the cloning trick. I could stop by if you get stuck, someone here ought to be able to walk you through this Maybe it could be an added step in Hawkeye's great tutorial if it isn't already there? Better go check. J

This is great news indeed I was thinking of hacking in support for the MAX695* series of ICs, so that they could take care of a time-code display with 14- or 16-segment LEDs as well as some debounced button scan, but those functions could be made with a PIC as well Or the ICM7243. Decisions decisions... Merry Christmas!

Celebrate all of them: Kwanzaa, Chanukah, Festivus, X-mas, Yule, Winter Solstice or just holidays Happy new year too while I'm at it! 2013 will bring peace and Mountain Dew for all. Or something.

Haha, no stress! Spend some time with your near & dear, the PCBs can wait a week or two Joyeux Noël! J

Hehe! Welcome all y'all! :flowers:

Guilty as charged. The general idea is to check the sub-components at http://ucapps.de/ as Ilmenator said. Then, the general sub-forum for the MBseq you already posted in is here: http://midibox.org/f...33-midibox-seq/ and the particular thread about the Ponoko panel is here: Wilba's particular front panel is linked from the MBseq description at ucapps.de, but the link is here: http://www.midibox.o...id=wilba_mb_seq Hardware options in general for the sequencer is described ici-la: http://www.ucapps.de..._manual_hw.html Suggested reading is all of the above, then PM me back if you have specific questions, or let's continue in this thread. For instance, there's this Hedenreich tabletop case, but I don't know what the status of that is at the moment. Someone may do a bulk order so keep your eyes peeled at the forum. Cheers /J

This will be great! Thanks TK!

Congratulations Antix! Hope you'll have a great day with some partying or some time off

Great news! Now I just need to convert (in a loose sense of the word) some Cakewalk .ins files of those old romplers. Bank names, multis, patches and waveforms Can't wait to begin trying this out!

There are special graphite/carbon buttons that you glue on your silicone rubber key. I know that TME EU (Transfer Multisort Electronics) have them, they should be easy to get at Reichelt/Farnell/DigiKey/Mouser/RS and the usual suspects. Or do a search for remote control repair kit.

2x16 OLEDs from Rapid Electronics (they have red on blacks!) work fine for old synths, Shruthis and possibly MiDIbox in 8bit mode as well. The 4x20s don't like the 4-bit 6582 connection, plus you need to do driver and bootloader hacking. Also, the Newhaven OLEDs seem to need some jumper remixing and have +5V as an absolute maximum voltage. You might want to bring that down to 2.5 or 3.3 V using a 74HC4050 buffer just to be safe. If this doesn't sound like an insane amount of work, then by all means do it and tell the rest of us how Cheers! J

Hi Arkay, Hawkeye, A lack of a few other components at Mouser saved me from buying lots of the Bourns encoders with switch, sans detents. There's 200 on order that will arrive later next year so any of us LED ring board owners will likely need more, lots more. The Alphas used by the 6582 are twice the price sans switch - I have to locate a good alternative with switches that doesn't break the bank Best, Johan

Great news! What color are they this time, or is that a Christmas surprise?

Happy birthday to gslug, a.k.a Kevin! Hope it was a good one and that you got more 80s on

Moar hints: The Satistronics are cheap and cheerful. Otherwise, if you got money to spend try an Optrex display, or something else with red, green, blue, orange, yellow or white characters to suit. This display will be driven i 4-bit mode and the 4x20 OLEDs got mongo from from that, so stick with an LCD. My OLED didn't quite get there during experimentation so I donated it to my PreenFM instead where it works just fine.

You can find the PT-10 over at http://www.x0xsh0p.de/ or sometimes JulianF who also makes aluminum panels can get you this part.

Amen to that! My K5000s needs some editing help for those moment when I don't feel like using a mouse or the iPad... Then again, there's lots of hideously complex synths out there, cough FS1r cough! :sorcerer: Let's compare notes when we get there.

Hi J! Yup they are. If you see different measurements it's because it is tapered: /__\ and one of them is measured at the base, the other at the top. Best, J

Today's big shoutout to Artesia! Happy birthday! The moose clip above was great! I like how the delivery truck turned the corner then decided to take another route When the food comes visiting...

Great song as always mr Hawk! Those filters, the SIDs and the Virus sound tasty enough to eat Mmm, monster controller LED mania here we come! Cheers!J

Hehe, thanks all! Guess I'm not over the hill yet, just mature like... Nah To all neighbors and others: Moose calf fillet with potato purée is fantastic food. People should cultivate more moose.. Nom nom nom. Now I need to check "stuff old people like" and start retirement planning, get a sports car and try to be seen around young women... Take care and solder safely
