Hey, thanks for referencing the tut and enjoy building your mb-6582 - it still rocks every day and i hope TK still needs some time before mbsid v3 is released and Wilba makes a mb6582-v2 (Wilba, if you ever do this, i would love to see an integrated version with "external" filters and VCAs - a real virus killer ;-)) Ah, sorry for ot... Regarding the to-be-cut-nylon washers - these were the only ones i had available, if you have smaller ones, of course you do not need to cut them. (Mine were overlapping some solder pads). You may not need to use washers at all, the design with ~ 20 screws will hold very well, no need to tighten them much. What i still would recommend is to use an LCD with a quicker update rate - mine is horrible - still looking for alternatives like oled/pled/vfd, but found nothing much yet. Have fun! Bye, Hawkeye

very good choice - hints for starting: http://ucapps.de/midibox_seq.html http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_seq (of interest may be the building tutorial for the core32, psu, and midi_iic modules) best regards

Hi and welcome aboard, analogue mixers use potentiometers, not encoders, so i would not recommend to rip it apart but to build a wilba-style mbseq as many did in this forum. Just look around and have fun :) Regarding the midi controller - i´d recommend to do one thing at a time... a mbseq is totally awesome and cannot be bought, whereas you can buy relatively nice midi controllers out there... so my direction would be clear :) Have fun! Bye, Hawkeye

Nice! Reminds me of my Nokia 7110 :)

u clearly haz need for ninja cat

welcome aboard and have lots of fun, that´s at least what i had (and still have) when i was new here just a few months ago ;-)

afaics they´re all going downunder, this will yield bad marks on your homework ^^

Yay :frantics:

whew, you are totally right! *bows down* :) one never stops to learn about existing features - great! :-)

Heheh, they somehow misunderstood the concept of midi merging: "Merge function 2 ins to 4 outs included."

Some more praise - the seq v4 really rocks, thanks for everything ;-) Just one more feature idea, which was borrowed from the elektron machines and which is extremely helpful... It is called "note cycle". When pressing "cycle left" or "cycle right" (probably bound to a key plus left/right or up/down), the notes are cycled through the track. E.g., if we have a note on Step 1 and one one Step 4 and we press "cycle right", the notes, velocities and so on will be shifted to Step 2 and Step 5 respectively. When a note goes over the track boundary, it will appear on the other end (e.g. Step 16->Step 1). It is very nice for quickly changing the "beat" in drum patterns (can be used when playing live to shift instruments off-beat and in-beat again) or shifting melodic parts to other regions or correcting live-recording "timing" errors.

I haz made another one, can´t stop playing with the MBSEQ ;-)

fantastic support, as usual: post, wait very short time, "svn up", "make", install, play :-) everything fine on my side now ;-)

Thanks, TK.! Great work! My "left button" is now very happy :flowers: Edit: * The "Tap Tempo" button now also works, perfect! * The new Trigger View Mode is very nice, especially with the "Left" and "Right" buttons for navigating between steps and "Up" and "Down" to change Notes. :clover: * Also, great update on the recording mode, where it shows which notes are being "re-recorded". * I can confirm vcfools observation - in a track with more than 16 steps, the notes are not updated in the lower line when moving the cursor to step 17+ or when "follow" mode is on.

Thx ;-) @Antix: hehe, yeah, it will have to be boxed sometime - but right now it is too fascinating to play with and i am also scared of the tough work - ebony woodwork ahead, which is hard as metal ;-)

Sorry for not updating the MBSEQ V4 construction tutorial lately. I am currently just too happy playing with the absolutely incredible unfinished SEQ V4-on-my-knees ;-)

then this indeed sounds like a cool and simple solution. thanks, m00dawg!

sorry to read about the frozen sids, grizz... now i am officially scared, too, when turning on my beloved mb6582... @technobreath: sounds great, looking forward to read more in the blog/wiki. @m00dawg: while northernlightxs design looks great (and easy and cheap to build with reichelt partslist), it seems, that it does not provide the necessary 1+ amps for the mb6582 on the 5v chain... so the diodes, the load resistors and the vregs would have to be upgraded to higher-current versions, if i am correct (and that might not be the case, as an electronics noob i am ;-)).

+1 (it is cheaper, more flexible and you can put them in one box afterwards if you really want to do that)

Is it possible to improve the resolution of the mod matrix meter mode? (The feature itself as it is now is already ultra-cool, btw.) Currently it uses only 3 LEDs vertically to display the OSC values... maybe it´s a hardware or performance restriction, but wouldn´t it be nice to use 7 LEDs instead to visualize those nice sinus and other movements even better? Thanks and bye, Peter
