this is a great advantage :)

hello... i have just finnished my first frontpanel for a midibox sid v2 in a 3 HE Rack... the rough layout is an inspiration i got by some photos wich i saw on the internet. this template might help some one who wants to put the SID into a Rack http://tongenerator.spacequadrat.de/files/mysidv2_new.fpd please let me know if you do have any improvements, thanks regards Mark

great link ;) @topic: maybe the sequenzer 5 could have a real laptop kind of screen with a simple graphics system. maybe the seqeunzer 5 could even have a integrated hardrive and a little sample editor but still also 4 MIDI Out and Analog Out.

sry about that... i could kick myself of course there was a short.. the short was at the dout, so everytime i connect the midicable the datawheel did not work and also the position marker jumped sporadisch to position 9... oh dear, i need a beer

what the fucking hell is that? i found the error... i just disconected the MIDIcable and it is back alive *puuuuuh :P

well 5 minutes before i did the update, it worked how ever... i uploaded it with mios studio in smart mode. this time i did not use my motu midi interface, i used the midi port of the focusrite saffire pro i changed the encoder... i tried the enco at pattern thing 1, there it works...

hello, i have the same "cursor position" thing on version 3.4 f, also the datawheel is not working anymore. it changes a couple values but not keep them, it looks like it runs through. of course i did not make a backup of the old version, that was on there... can i download the older versions like 3.3 or so somwhere ???

hello, what the heck :o after i have installed the latest seqeunzer version, the datawheel is without function. when u turn it, something flikers but it is not realy changing the value, also the selection marker always jumpes to position 9 but it is not actually effekting anything.... i just put the seqeunzer in to my rack yesterday, working all day correct without any error... so i now allready have opened it up and checked the encoder... the encoder is ok... is it possible to get back the old version, can i download the older versions somewhere, please.

where is the track? i want to hear that track... i have never heard a track made with ejay or so before.

hello, i just had a closer look at the *asm files and figured what they are about and understud how they work. i figured that i have to change the encoder mode for example... thanks a lot for ur reply edit: actually i found something else i want to ask... why is not possible to use a bankstick mode wich would allow to use the hole capacity and not just the 32 / 64 K, because the 24LC512 Memory i got from mouser has 512 kbit.

Hello, i want to ask what diffrence between the versions of the *.asm files from TK and for example Wilba or cd_cd are. wich one schould i use, or wich one is the better one :P thanks

Hi, i have question :) i have been thinking about the midibox and to use it as a backup machine for my synthesizer sounds... so what i would like to have is, that i can send the sounds/multis or what ever is on the synth as sysex and store it on to bankstick. since i have now the midibox sequenzer, i dont use the pc so much anymore and i dont want to start up the 600 Watt PC just to store some synth patches. Well u have userbank on synthies... but i dont want to overwrite the existing ones... is there allready a solution for such a scenario ??? i have seen the midibox UC, but i am not sure if it is the real thing, it looks more like a parameter controller only. :-[ regards mark

lang nichts mehr gehört?

There is something wondering in the MIDI Box Sequenzer 3... When you press once the "Menu" button, nothing will happen, unless you do a combination of holding the "Menu" Button and select one of the GP Buttons... this function is good, so you can directly jump to the wanted Menu... So now when you are inside of one submenu and press the "Exit" button you will not come to the last screen where you where... you get an "Menu" Menu with a list of all Menus... i dont know, if i explained it enough clear... i think it would be better, that you press once the "Menu" Button to get into the Menu list... And when pressing "Exit" i schould get out, and get the last Menu where i startet of, or when you are inside the Menu List, the Exit Button schould leave the Menu list. Maybe i can make a Video to show what i mean, if it is not understood what i mean :)

i bet u have a short somewhere... check the exact wiring... disconnect everything and unsolder the Display connector of the core... clean the pcb around that area and check with multimeter for shorts... again solder the pins or wire, and check once again for shorts on that area... then connect only one display... and see if it works... u mentioned to have many problems...? who are u telling this, even now after i have finished everything.. i connectet yesterday the bankstick, and now something else is not working... but from what i have learned during the hole construction process of this project, are wiring problems. actually about every problem is relatet to bad wiring and shorts... trust me so just take a break... unsolder the parts, clean it up and do it again. u cant do anything else, i had the same problems it took me 3 days to work out the display issue... there was a short on the core somwhere around the display port

thank you

Hello, i would like to upgrade the sequenzer with analog out... i have seen the LC Module wich i could get at mikes page is easy... what are the diffrence between all those analog outs? can i just controll normaly my doepfer or any other modular Synth with the LC? thanks for any answer 8)

it now works with all 3 modules connectet i have also tried some buttons from all modules it seems to work now now i need some more wire... to connect the rest

i will not throw it in to the bin... the mikes boards do all work! i will use them for some other midibox, which dont need 3 din modules :D i just dont know where to start... to find the error... i have checked with multimeter for shorts... i have disconectet everything (i have solderd the wires to the pins)... and i have messed it up :D i have seen on one video i made earlier that the sequenzer allready run with all 3 din modules... i musst have screwd it up sometime somewhere, somehow... i will now power up again the soldering maschine and have a look... maybe it works, or it doesen`t

i really dont want to start argumenting or how ever u will call it in englisch... but as i allready said the smaschTV Boards are more up to date and also more fail safe... this is something, even my rookie eyes can see... for example the holes for the distance screws / holder or what ever they are called... in the pcb`s i got from mike, this hole are as thin as the hiloe for the other stuff, so when i want to make them biger, i have to be very carfully that i dont damage the lines.. actually u will damage them anyway... also when u use distance screws they will for sure create a short unless u dont use some plastic things under the screws... the other example is, that there are many caps and realy short wires wich have to been soldered underneth the board. and that is a realy tricky part... and cause shorts... also the schmasch tv boards have nice green color :o how ever, as i have mentioned i have doing eq 20 channels with each more than 200 resitors, and it worked straight away.. i allready also have said, that i might have messed it up by not giving good attention... so i am surly not blaming anyone... also i previosly had allready 100s off errors, starting with mios, midi, display and so on... i want even say, i had any only imanginable problem... and now i am tired of this problems... regardless of anything.. i just want to have this fkng thing working now. and it used to work, 3 month ago... now it doesn`t... i will have a look on it tonight, maybe it is because of insuficient power? i want to use the advantage of the smasch tv layout... i bet it will work

i just figured that it used to work with all thre module before.. i made one little video.. i watched it and saw, that there where all three modules connected. but the midibox was laying around for 3 months, also later i messed it a little bit... now i wantet to complete the frontpanel and there we go, it is not working anymore... i will buy thekit once again, because i am really tired at solving problems... but this time i will get a smasch TV Version... As i have seen, i guess that the smaschTV version is more fail safe... the bypass caps dont get soldered to the bottom side and also the mounting holes are properly hopefully i can finaly present a working sequenzer next month :-[

well, it is any combination of any din module. i have 3 module to test. any modul as single connectet to the core can handle the buttons. but as soon as any of any of these are added within the chain... all leds go up and no buttons react. it looks like the application hang up, as long as i have rc connected tomorow, i might do again some testing, also with the mentioned test application... thanks for the tipp :D however, since i spend a hole bunch of parts, i will rebuild the hole story from scratch. i have made an eq with over 200 resistors, no probs... but for f... s... reason this 5 resitor midibox doesnt want to work. after so many problems i allready run in to (MIDI, display, shorts and so on), everything might be possible. so i want a clean build, now i know wich problems might can occure... shit happens. i can use the remaining parts for some other project like clockbox or what ever... if the second builds failes also, you can have my parts

well this time i wont fix the problem... after so many problems allready had... it is something i dont understand. i connect one din and one dout then it works good but when i connect a second din, all leds but with diffrent voltages on most i get around 0,8 - 1,5 volt and on the one that should light up i get 3,8 v and on some other i get - 0,8 to - 0,4 volts this only happens when there are two din connected and the rc line is connectet. one din everything fine, two din with rc connectet not working

Hello, since i carried on with the wiring of the sequencer, i know run in to some problem. as soon as i connect a second DIN module, all leds light up and no button does react. i read something about a short on rs line or termination??? if somebody knows about this :-[ regards mark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0g_wzSXRWQ i will put full construction story and details on my page when completed 8) thanks for comments no i dont, but i know that frontplatten schäfer does support this option. so you can create a special display breakout. therefor they send you then the displaycover is well. but it cost to much. i dont need this... but id would save the display :-[
