    yes, pimping that MB6582 to the max developed into kind of an obsession, note to self... speak to psychatrist about that next time you´re on the couch.

    Yeah just noticed some smd led thing going one :frantics:

    I did exactly that using a slightly tinted anti-glare filter for a CRT. It looks great behind the black panel. Not as nice as a window with bevelled edges that sits flush with the panel, but it still looks tidy and professional.

    Ofcourse, i actually have a piece of cd jewel case just cut up for that purpose. But then again, i put a lot of effort and money into this mb6582. I want to make it look at it best. And its only 8,50 euro.

    I had some advice from Wilba about this. Checking now to see what the deviation of the machine is. Aiming for a snug fit. So that should be a no on the grime buildup :whistle:

    Well the current idea is to make the window out of two panels

    The frontpanel is cut to size of the frontpanel. The back one is a bit bigger. So that you can use doublesided tape or glue to fit it. The two plates will be bonded together. This will make sanding it down a bit more difficult though.

    I asked for a production sample first.

    So i am making a drawing for it in illustrator now. I am a bit concerned on the measurments though. Wilba's FPD file specifies 83mm x 31,20mm. Question is if i make the window exactly this size, will it fit? Or should we compensate a little bit. Any clues?

    Hi Shuriken,

    thanks for your efforts!

    Two questions:

    1) Two pieces? How are the connected together?

    2) Different colors? Colored Acrylic? Cool! Would it be possible to get a red one?

    Bye,

    Peter

    I have asked, but i seem to remember you can join them with chloroform. They have a lot of colors. So both red en green should be possible.

    Not sure if that will influence price. But i have asked that as well :wink: .

    Hi Guys,

    I've got now another set of windows. It looks better than a CD cover :-) Of course I have to clean up the edges a little bit, but then it is perfect ...

    Where did you get yours?

    I got word from my contact at frontplaten.net. He made some stuff before for midibox usage. He suggested to make a window out of two pieces of 1.5mm. As an additional option it would be possible todo it in a different color or a full color print. The current estimate for 10 pieces is 85 euro. So that would be 8,50 euro a piece.

    I have a 1.5mm thick panel too from JulianF. It should be the same as the Wilba fpd AFAIK.

    Yeah me too.

    I have sent out an e-mail. I'll let you guys know as soon as i hear anything.

  19. Custom Power Supply for mb6582

    in MIDIbox SID

    Posted · Edited by Shuriken

    It's been awhile since i posted any updates. I finally managed to get all the parts for the PSU. I will be using a LM22675 for the 9V supply and a LM22676 for the 5V section. These baby's are high efficient (85-95% depending on components) and the switch freq is 500kHz.

    Getting my hands on those regulators took me a long time. I initially was going for an older model LM2676. However after 2 months waiting Futurelec couldn't deliver those. So i started looking for another source. To only discover i could source them straight from National Semi as a sample. Apparently this is quiet popular :wink:, so they charge you 12 dollars for shipping. Which is of course only fair and made me feel less guilty. :angel:

    After that i used National Semi's online WeBench design tool, to select all the parts. After a hard and long look, i could match selected components with stuff at Reichelt. Only the Power Inductors were not in National Semi's partlist. The WeBench tool has the option to add custom components and it turned out the Power Inductors Reichelt has are up to spec. Only thing i couldn't find was some 0,01 uF ceremic smd in 12xx size. But i found those at Conrad.

    The schematics are here:

    LM22676 Schematic

    LM22675 Schematic

    I am currently in the process of designing the boards in Eagle. I am sticking to the design layouts in the datasheets. Only tricky bit it that both IC have an exposed pad. Which basically is a small metal surface on the bottom of the IC for heat transfer. You need to solder this to the board. And it has to have vias to the other side of the board for additional heat transfer. If you want to hand solder them, apparently you need to add one big via in the middle. So that you can stick your solder iron through it. Another option of course is to use thermal adhesive. I haven't decided yet.

    Here is a preview off one of the unfinished boards:

    And on-topic again :ahappy:

    I bought a Fostex VF-160 on ebay a couple of days ago. It's a digital recording desk with harddisk and cdr. It can record 16 channels. However to get to 16 channels you will need to get something like an ADA8000.

    Good to see the large amount of reaction. Thanks for that guys.

    The topic offeres no clear answer but that was to be expected as there are so many people with so many different needs. It did however give me some insight in which direction to move. Will keep you updated on what i will buy.

  25. Looking for some FM action

    Im pretty sure you listened to the audioclips from TK on the MBFM page @ ucapps?

    I feel like you; FM instruments are often ½lame modeling instruments, but the MBFM can be a really angry mofo. Listening to TK's clips makes me think VERY differently about the possibilities in this little bugger :)

    Yeah those samples are great. That's also the reason i build one. But havent finished it yet. Still need to make a CS.
