Very expensive, indeed! I would not sell mine for that price! :-) Many greets, Peter

Niemand mit allen (neuen) PCBs und derselben Herstellungsqualität :). SmashTV hat deswegen auch die von Ilmenator verlinkte Low-Value Orderpage eingebaut, die Versandkosten sind wirklich extrem günstig und meist ist der Brief auch recht zügig und ohne Zollstress da :) Ciao und viele Grüße, Peter

+1 - like the idea very much (and had it in mind for long time, too) and am willing to give it a go, if someone has the time to hack it on a midibox core - not a lot of buttons/display functionality is needed, imho, just a start/stop button to indicate the start and end of the loop - after hitting "stop", it would re-loop from the beginning, accepting more note input being added to the loop. Setting up a speed (bpm) beforehand for the sync would not be a bad thing imho, i´d like to jam to a synced drummachine (with a running pattern) while loopin´ :). Many greets, Peter

Hola, with a bit of optimized code, it should be able to handle your wishes - built a software-mixing 8 channel modplayer (basically an eight channel-single oscillator wavetable player with bigger wavetables) back in the nineties running on sub-20mhz 16bit "dos" machines, which were far inferior to the processing power of the new 32-bit MIDIbox cores :smile:. Here is a graphics demo i converted from the old "dos times", running on the old stm core 32, which is more than 60% slower than the new STM32F4. So, it is doable, go ahead and enjoy! :-) Many greets, Peter

A SIDless C64 makes for a good testbed for testing SID chips later on, should you have any problems with the MBSID build. Also, you can install a http://www.swinkels.tvtom.pl/swinsid/ (swinsid) any time and enjoy some cool C64 games (Hawkeye for example :)). Maybe you will build a new PSU for your MBSID at some point (higher efficiency, better protection circuits), then you have a fully working C64, which is invaluable :) Many greets and enjoy! Peter

blingy: copy and paste would not record the live sequence as generated by scrubbing the track :smile: (nice technique, btw! :-)) Many greets, Peter

Yes! In the options menu, you can enable synced mutes/unmutes, i only use mutes on full measures (16 steps), but maybe you can configure the measure length to a different value and it will work :smile: Am only performing manual pattern switches on the MD, as it is only two button presses (and they are synced to the measure as well), but you could have the SEQ switch MD patterns probably with the mixer map... but that would be moving towards automation again, for me the fun part is to have the freedom to switch, when you want :smile: Many greets! Peter

Hi Brian, personally, I use it in pattern mode and just unmute and mute the tracks on the MBSEQ (there is a sync mute/unmute feature in MBSEQ, which is easily worth its weight in gold :-)) and manually switch patterns on the MD. Probably not a standard workflow, but works well for me :) Many greets! Peter

Hi Blingy, just save an empty session template with a few tracks already configured in chord mode with the tracklength and midi port/channel configuration you need. Then after loading the session or turning on the SEQ, just press "record" and you are ready to go, quite straightforward :) Many greets, Peter

Correct! That just needs text file editing skillz, no problem, man! :-D Many greets and enjoy! Peter

Hola, sounds like unwanted MIDI remote in action to me :) You can disable it in your config file in MBSEQ_HW.V4 (right at the beginning). MIDI_REMOTE_KEY 0 And here is the MIDI remote documentation: http://ucapps.de/midibox_seq/mbseq_remote_functions.pdf Many greets and enjoy! Peter

Hola, no harm can be done, the amps rating (3.5A) is the maximum output power, the PSU will serve only as much as is needed by the SEQ V4. Am using a similar switcher on 5V for the SEQ, too, and it is a good solution. But I have not built the AOUT module yet, this is where the switching might be critical - but you are right, probably there won´t be a problem with such a high switching frequency, and filtering with a few small caps :). Many greets, Peter

Congratulations, looking good! :-)

Hello and welcome to MIDIbox! :-) You can build the PSU from electronics parts by following the schematic (it is not too difficult). This is necessary, if you have one or several MIDIbox SID modules (http://ucapps.de/mbhp_sid.html ). If you are building an integrated SID synth (like the SammichSID, or the MB-6582), this is not necessary, as they have internal power sections. Many greets, Peter

Hehe, cool to see all these LC filters in action :) I really use them all the time when FPV flying (other hobby) and they are great :) Magus, I don´t see it in the picture, maybe it is there, if you add a small ceramic capacitor (e.g. 100nf) to the big elko, they work even a bit better. Many greets, Peter

Hola, it needs to be a text file and in the root directory of the SD Card named MBSEQ_HW.V4 Please try this file: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsequencers%2Fmidibox_seq_v4%2Fhwcfg%2Fwilba%2FMBSEQ_HW.V4 I know, the "download" button does not work, but you can copy and paste it into a text editor, e.g. windows editor and then save the file as MBSEQ_HW.V4 Many greets and good luck! Peter

+1 - you´ll need to fix these... To properly remove malfunctioning encoders, it is recommended to cut all three (or more) pins with wire cutters on the top side of the PCB, then heat the backside pins one by one with the soldering iron and use a desoldering pump from the frontside to suck through the pin and solder remains. Many greets and good luck! Peter

Yes! :-) Looks very good! Great work! Many greets, Peter

Gratulation und Willkommen! :-) Ciao und viele Grüße, Peter

Empfehlung: Auf neuen STM32F4 MIDIbox core warten - http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core_stm32f4.html Standard MIOS32 Toolchain verwenden - http://ucapps.de/mios32_c.html Ciao und viele Grüße, Peter

Great job, ssp! Sounds a lot like for example "Extrawelt" to me, well done! :-) Many greets, Peter

Thanks, J! :clover: Many greets up north and have a great (beginning) springtime! :-) Bye, Peter

Thanks, Shuriken! :-) OT: Great choice with the Mobius, it is amazing! If you put it on anything vibrating (Motorbike, etc :-)), use Moongel or something similar for dampening :) Many greets! Peter
