This is fantastic. I'm in!

Woohoo! Lookin good! :)

Thats a great idea Altitude! Thanks! I'm the one who suggested alternative parts. An equivalent of the parts Julian linked to should be available from almost any electronic parts supplier, so I think its the best option for everyone.

Nice! Looking forward! :)

Yo! I added a few holes for the Quad IIC Midi Module! Would be nice if someone could confirm that I haven't made some super stupid mistake ;) seq_enclosure_2012_quadiic.svg.zip

Double check all the Soldering around output 1. I guess theres a connection problem somewhere, and the OSX driver is just a bit more ..lets say tolerant. The grounding thing sounds a little far fetched. My GM5x5x5s don't have cases at all :)

Hmm thats strange. What kind of software are you using? Maybe test in a very simple command line environment with aplaymidi or something and see if it still occurs?

Cool! Congrats! :) You don't need apache for SVN. You should remove the package, afaik Ubuntu starts daemons automatically as soon as you install a package, and you really don't want to have a web server running on your computer all the time ;)

Download an SVN client for your operating system and read the manual. It's not that complicated.

I have a fan inside, but its unplugged because its too noisy in the audio output. My SIDs have passive clip on heatsinks, but I don't think they are really necessary...

Cool! Lets hope its fixed now! :)

Hi there. I've been using 2 GM5x5x5's with several Linux distributions (mostly Debian and Arch) for a long time now and never had any problems. Really just plug and play and worked 100%, running for days... Sorry if thats not much help for you :/

Was it really necessary to reseurrect this thread? *barf*

Futuba and Noritake make nice VFDs: http://www.futaba.com/products/display_modules/module_products/character/index.asp http://www.noritake-elec.com/ There are probably a lot more manufacturers. You can also try searching ebay for "4x20 VFD". Look here to see if the dimensions would fit: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_6582_control_surface_parts_list

The cyan LEDs would be sooo cool with a VFD display ;)

Damn I was watching this project for years! And now that its finally there I miss it of course... Well, its only USB Midi so far, buuut (from the FAQ): Can I buy an "old school" MIDI version of the GenMDM(i.e. 5 pin DIN connection instead of USB)? Not currently, but this is being explored as a future possibility. Thanks for your patience. So its worth to wait for that version anyway :) Thanks for the reminder!

Woohoo :) I think the F1 or Play Button on MB6582 would be fine, as this would only be used in bassline or drum mode I guess...

Hmmm where have I seen this before? ;) See Wilbas post about this here: They are definitely remarked. You should check out if all the oscillators work, and if the filters work correctly.

If you want to make chip music with it, 8 SIDs are absolutely overkill. If you want to use it for more complex synth patches its absolutely nice to have. You can use 4 of them at the same time then.

Very nice!! :)
