  1. @TK. - awesome, great work! Many greets, Peter
  2. @rolfdegen try to split the zips, i think the maximum upload size is 1MB each. Best regards, Peter
  3. After too long time, finally a new track: Only SIDs make it possible (no other synths used for this one), listen loud, plz! :) Many greets, Peter
  4. @srmaietta TK. had approached unquantized recording in SEQ v4+ a while ago and i think dropped it due to complexity - the option for unquantized recording is the main reason why we developed the midiphy LoopA. Many greets, Peter
  5. @slohave you tried to follow TK.'s tutorial #3 over here? http://ucapps.de/midibox_seq_manual_tut3.html From the software side, i am pretty sure the bus transposer hasn't been touched in a while, so i think it should work. Personally, i've never used bus based transposition, but can confirm, that normal track-based note transposition (with or without force-to-scale) on the standard transposition screen works - here you could also select multiple tracks via the second row and then transpose them all at once, but it's of course not the same as the automated variant linked above. Many greets, Peter
  6. Hi there, just wanted to let you know that we continued development of the LoopA - it has a new and quite powerful song mode now: Best regards and enjoy! Peter
  7. midiphy SEQ v4+ user clddstllr created two nice overview and function keys cheatsheets, attached them below - they are also available for download in PDF format on midiphy.com. Best regards and have a good weekend! Peter
  8. @JuanJerez as LoopA's notes are reconded sequentially, deleting a note will auto-advance the note cursor to the next recorded note, so you can do it by selecting the start point and then pressing DELETE multiple times quickly - i just tried it on a complex chord clip and it works fast enough and also allows for good precision when reaching the end point. LoopA's user interface is a bit too small for "range selection" commands without getting too complicated. But as Andy wrote, another good alternative is to use the punch-out footswitch function, which allows you to just clear a part of the sequence while the time cursor passes over it. Many greets and enjoy! Peter
  9. @m00dawgcool song and great vocals - great to hear the MB6582 used in a proper production! :) Many greets, Peter
  10. Great job - soo many OLEDs! :) Many greets, Peter
  11. @tago Thorsten released the Windows toolchain - and it is working, just accessing the 64KB extra memory region of STM32F4 will crash the app, maybe it is a simple linker setting, but i investigated a while back and found no easy solution. On top, under windows, USB MIDI transfers are often very unstable, i.e. when flashing new firmware releases when developing you often have to either rescan MIDI ports or restart MIOS Studio for continuous uploads, which is really frustrating when developing. That is not necessary on a Mac, so you know my recommendation - you can get a used macbook air for ~300€ - while it's not as fast as an M1, it will do the job - imho for that price, it's not worth trying to improve the windows situation with the upper 64kb block, as the Windows USB stability situation cannot be fixed by us. Many greets, Peter
  12. @tagoyup, i'd either recommend a hackintosh or a cheap used mac machine, it will also give you a lot more stable USB MIDI drivers. Many greets, Peter
  13. @tago i switched to a Mac m1 a while ago and never looked back, it's awesome, as powerful as my 8-core i7, which cost a lot more, using a fraction of the electrical power at a higher single-core speed (a lot more responsive). You can still get a mini m1 for a bit above 600€, which is a steal for the offered package. The existing (old) toolchain/compilation works fine here, also working with 64kb "upper RAM" for the STM32F4. Upgrading the toolchain to the newest release would be some work, so i'd recommend going the established route - i had used a "free" Hackintosh before, so it's also a possibility to build e.g. MIDIbox NG on most common PC hardware, too. The MIDI implementation on Mac is also way better than anything Windows, so i did not investigate further. Best regards and enjoy! Peter
  14. Cheers, as the first batch sold out quite quickly: the MatriX DIY Essential kits are now restocked: as the ADC chips are currently hard to obtain, we've secured enough of them and will provide those required MCP3208 analog-digital converter chips for free in every kit. Also: free worldwide shipping to all destinations supported by the midiphy shop (customs fees might apply outside the EU). https://www.midiphy.com/en/shop-details/0/85/midiphy-matrix-with-pro-metal-case-essential-kit-diy Many greets and enjoy! Peter
  15. New LoopA firmware version 2.09 released The newest LoopA firmware contains fresh features like - force-to-scale mode - new stave notes display mode - integrated midi keyboard mode and keyboard transposition - note duplication and clip reversals - integrated six track volume mixer - LoopA remote control via MIDI Program Change and CC - MIDI Program Change synth patch loading after session load Enjoy and many greets! Peter
  16. Fantastic timelapse and great build of even two of these! Hats off and my respect! Hope your back did not hurt as much as mine after building my last MatriX ;-). Best regards und einen guten Rutsch! Peter
  17. Hi! The normal process for this is to first build and document a project, show it to TK. and show you're willing to support it over the years - then he can decide if you can get approval to market it. Last time we spoke with him, he reiterated that any commercial use will need that approval from him - thus general LGPL/MIT/Apache licenses will not be applicable. This does not mean you cannot fork or develop on the existing code base for personal or forum usecases - anything ESP32 sounds super fun! Best regards, Peter

    midiphy MatriX :)

    Thanks a lot, J! :) Many greets, Peter
  19. Over 11 years after the first implementation, here's the newest variant which still fully supports the epic 16x16+X BLM protocol (and supports all existing MIDIbox SEQ v4): Best regards and enjoy! Peter
  20. The new version now is finally available! Check this thread: Best regards, Peter
  21. Thanks, Andy! Just to add a few more informations: all existing SEQ v4 are supported, as the BLM protocol is implemented. And here is a bit more tech detail: 289 (17x17) RGB-backlit and light|shielded mechanical keys with custom keycaps for optimal light dispersion. Full-color 128x128 high-end OLED display running at 60Hz for info and graphical sequence/clip previewing. Extra sliders and buttons for parameter entry and additional functions. Two bidirectional MIDI ports and a dedicated button to switch between them. Dedicated navigation joystick for moving selections, scrolling through clips/sequences and more! High-performance STM32F4 MCU using RTOS as a software base for a responsive and fluid user experience. Full midiphy SEQ v4+ and MIDIbox SEQ v4 support - compatible with existing BLM 16x16+X protocol. Enhanced LoopA support: advanced editor with note color mapping and pan/zoom controls (microtiming), 160 scales (with note quantization), reassignable isomorphic keyboard and performance controls. Here's a direct link to the user manual: midiphy MatriX manual v1.01 Also, here's another close-up photo of the MatriX in LoopA mode - in this mode you can use the x and y sliders to scale the visible sequence area and use the joystick to pan around the area: And yes, you can see new keycaps on here - Andy has done absolutely amazing, outstanding work designing these (of course next to the general hardware design). I think his old BLM 16x16+X design now has a worthy successor. Cheers! Best regards and have a good weekend, Peter

    midiphy MatriX :)

    From the album: Hawkeyes MB stuff

    Hola, it sure has been a while - but finally the new midiphy MatriX has been launched - with full BLM 16x16+X support, so all MIDIbox SEQ v4 can be attached. More info: https://www.midiphy.com/en/matrix/ Best regards, Peter
  23. @UnUnUniumthanks for your kind words - and your SEQ v4+ looks great - cheers to #46! :) Best regards, Peter
