It will difficult to precisely cut foam for the thickness we have to achieve. no problem for the diodes I already have to mill both sides for the switches 'stopper' under the 'no copper' area. Can you share this 'no copper' area size too?

@latigid on It remains me some black acrylic of 3mm thickness, I can already try with it and see what happens...

Funny I also already thought about this and planned to do it even in the eventuality of produce the custom keycap, cause I think neighbor will be polluted anyway., Send me your dxf, if it's already done. I can try with a 3/4mm black Plastic if it remains me some. I will mill it to get some gap with the pressed keycap position, the keycap will go inside and let 1mm(always 3/4 mm high) around the body of the switch. 5mm high will be complicated cause there's a gap of 0.25mm between the body switch and the internal size of the keycap. but 4mm should be fine. Send me what you've got, I will make the 3D as you can validate it... I will maybe have to order some plastic... Thank you! ;)

I go in Africa for work sometimes so those pieces of 'Okoumé were brought back in my luggage from Gabon. Otherwise I've got a woodworker near here who sell me some pieces of rare wood essence when he has it. But it depends on what you want exactly. I'm in the "Landes" so there's woodworker every 50m here ;) Anyway try to find one near to you place, I never find it in "brico" supermarket ;) If you want something naturally 'white' you can take ash(frene), beech(hetre) or more grey is walnut(noyer) can be a light grey by treatment. This is all local essence. Best regards Bruno

Signature plastic answered me there's no additional cost for this LED window shape. So this is possible! Join the bulk here.

THIS BULK IS CLOSED Hello, I contacted Signature Plastic to know if produce a custom keycap for the SeqV4+ might be interesting, if it's not too much expensive. It seems we can get some for a correct price, but I need 10 people interested to reach an order of 320 keys(10 Sets). This is what I asked for: DSA with ALPS mount (of course) PBT material, ABS because the lens is made with the double shot method which is only ABS. White WFK. Large rounded rectangle LED window. and 10 people is a minimum. Price will be something like 35-40$ for a set of 32 keys. Price will be 40$ for a set of 35 keycap. Some of you already noticed me that small round window is too much small for their taste and use(in smokey and flashing light club context ;) ) So I asked SP if it's possible to make that instead, and if it changes the price. I keep you in touch. Their answer: No additional cost for this shape! Tell me if you're interested, it will be better than trying to paint the transparent keys ;) People who joined the bulk: @secrethero303 @niles @Dimduj x2 @slo @jojjelito @otropom @u-link @thresholdpeople @Antichambre Best regards Bruno

would this be more suitable ? Of course , it's also possible to mount it in the opposite orientation to get the window down. Check the bulk here.

I finally installed the two OLED which were missed, it's clearly better than regular LCD. I made some wood sides too, in a very hard African wood which has blue veins , I stained in white("lasure" in french not sure of the English word). This is more white in the daylight, outside. Here the DXF file, A CNC is necessary. Yellow is internal cur at 5mm depth. Green is internal cut at 3mm depth. Red is external, depends on the desired thickness. White is holes. Blue is internal, let 2-3mm minimum it depends on your wood hardness, you can also increase it if you can find some longer screws. All is with a 3mm wood tool. https://www.cncfraises.fr/-carbures-2-dents-droites-queue-3-17/69-fc2dd317.html A raw pair, with a view of the internal milling. note: original white side plates must be removed. Best regards Bruno

Unfortunately because of the mount, this is the maximum diameter of the lens in this position(above mount), as you can see on the picture it can be bigger but placed on the corner only. I don't like the rectangular one(909 like) cause the SeqV4+ has girly shape ;) It is round everywhere. I propose it to people here as we can try it at first time, maybe resistance will need to be adjusted for more light, I don't know, just need 10 people in this order as we can try it, but think the keycap will be white inside too the light will flow enough I think. Need to be tried, need 10 guys! ;) Are you in?

Yes, I got shave too, even if I also paid attention to respect the thread. It remains maybe some burr from the the pre-made drilling or its hole diameter was a bit small. Anyway, if you take care to remove the shaves, no problem. Best regards Bruno

Normally all USB MIDI devices, not the ones which need specific Driver. and not the ones which have an internal HUB. The LPK25 should work, maybe try external power. Andy knows where to find necessary cable. This will add some cost cause thread a M3 is impossible on this metal thickness, a threading needs a minimum length equal to the diameter, this will oblige Adrian to add surface mounted stand-off which is an extra service from manufacturer. For self-tapping screws, there's no more metal shaving once the threading is done, I also noticed that and used a vacuum cleaner to avoid any risk ;) I've got a lot of MIDI8, connected to m16 interface, they are in two prototypes, screwed only at the ends, and I ask them a lot(connect/reconnect several times), so far I have not had any problem. Best regards Bruno

Hi TK, I tested it under Win7 Ultimate SP1 64bit, it seems to work better, it has the same behavior as the OSX version. When interface/midibox is connected after app launch The re-scan works, interfaces are seen but no comm, restart app then it's ok, then same behavior as OS-X now for me. 2.4.7 was crashing or freezing when interface/midibox was disconnected and took a very long time to see the interface/midibox, it's not the case anymore. There's some significant changes for me. Tested with a MOTU Fastlane, SeqV4+ and internal MIDI SCOPE-PCI(Creamware Pulsar card) Best regards Bruno

Thank you but even if the workflow is now more suitable I'm not sure to be more skilled with the new format I don't know why but a repo stays something obscure for me... I hope git is easier... Best regards Bruno

Thank you Thorsten for also migrating the MCAN branch. In general, this is good news because the latest version of XCODE no longer supports SVN. Maybe that's why you moved it. Thank you so much. Have a good night. Bruno

I know, I was expecting this answer ;) All I can tell you is that it works under juce 5 it just needs some minor changes, xcode easily pointed it to me, but I don't know about Windows cause I've got an old Seven, I mostly use a Mac for MIDIBox stuff. Anyway, thank you for that. Best regards Bruno

Great news! Midnight theme? I already did something but your version will be better than mine for sure. Best regards Bruno

Alright! Do this: It works for me, it will work for you.

1) Yes MC6 + MIDI I/O will work except that the MIDI Out of the MIDI I/O is not a MIDI Thru then you can't connect the MIDI In of your 2290 and control its PC from the MC6. 2) with the MIDI Thru the 2290 can receive too. 3) just keep in mind that the MIDI Out of the Meris MIDI I/O forwards the 4 Merged MIDI IN from TRS it doesn't forward the MIDI DIN In. 4) Yes SysEx is a more sophisticated MIDI standard protocol. They are commonly used for MIDI dump to save/load internal data like a banks/preset. Depending on manufacturer and gear they are sometimes used for parameters too e.g. Warldorf Microwave. Yes the 2290 has a CV input for a resistive expression pedal or a CV of 0 to 5V, it exists physically but there's no feature(parameter) applied to, and nothing to attach it, I guess this the "future use" which was never implemented. Everything is open-source here, you can use everything, but adapting it to your need will require some study, you will need a dedicated control surface and some programming. This is not a big deal for someone who knows the MIDIBox platform but you have to find him. Open dedicated thread in Concept and ask, maybe someone will have the time to do it for you. You can try. Best regards Bruno

Just to be sure: - You flashed the right bootloader for pic18f4685 => bootloader_v1_2b_pic18f4685.hex - And upload the right MIOS with MIOS Studio => mios8_v1_9h_pic18f4685.hex

The 4bit interconnection seems fine. Did you check continuity of all the lines and short-circuit between the lines? Here a test program to troubleshoot LCD interconnection, it may help you. ...

Yes this makes sense, the Morningstar mc6 ll seems fine for what you want to do, it can translate expression pedal to CC, receive the 2290 PC event and forward it. I just had a look on its manual there's no mention of SysEx messages but if it's the case you will be able to control your 2290 with it too, the 2290 has no CC but all parameters are accessible via SysEx. If you just need the PC message from the 2290(no CC from pedals) then you don't need a merger, but you will need something to distribute the MIDI output of the MC6 to your 2290 and your pedals... You're lucky we've got something here, it's relatively simple to built, the @latigid on's MIDI Thru is made for you, https://www.midiphy.com/en/news/d/14/ It's a MIDI distributor, from 1 MIDI IN you will get 4 regular MIDI DIN OUT + 3 MIDI TRS(jack) OUT, there's no process, no prog, just electronic. Without the MC6, an adapted solution made around a MIDIBox Core is also possible but will require some other skill and time. You can also choose this way but you will need to enter more deeply in our little world of MIDI psycho ;) Best Bruno

Congratulation! the 2290 is a great machine! Could you draw a quick diagram of what you want exactly? Just machines as block and some arrow are enough. Best Bruno

Hi, Check your contrast circuit if you have blocks with contrast at minimum too. Check the pinout and interconnection. Show us pictures it can help us... Best

Sorry it's project.hex. Try without Core board, Disco only. But if you follow all those steps and it doesn't work, you disco has certainly a problem... Buy another one to compare.
