yes, do that! my custom crappy driver only works for the noritake vfd - it may help a little bit on the oled side, but a complete rework would also be a good idea :)

Hi, I can confirm, that the newhaven character oleds are somewhat standards-compliant - last year i put one of them into an old waldorf micro q with a failed lcd - it worked without problems: these OLEDs are really nice, the background is really black :-) Edit: jojjelito found out, that the 4x20 is NOT compatible without driver hacking, so beware of those (e.g. for a MB-6582) Greets, Peter

Yes, approximately by the cost of four or six sids :) No other cost-savings there besides only partially putting sockets and cores on the baseboard, but this is not to be recommended!...But, as mentioned before, you can skip the CS at first, populate only 2 or 4 sids and use rutgers fantastic java-based editor to control the thing. Then, it is quite cheap and already very powerful! Greets, Peter

Hi, but it is a VFD, not a LCD! Are you sure, you have exactly the same Noritake VFD? Under these cirumstances, i´d fire up tha compila the evening - as the code is pretty badly hacked together, you should install the modded version only on the first core, where the VFD is connected, if you install it on cores 2-4, they will unfortunately hang, but I did not have the time/nerves to debug it. So you´ll also need to install the unmodded standard .hex of the same version to the other cores and not flash the VFD version to all cores. It is a somewhat complicated process - please report back via forum message :-) Bye, Peter

:smile: nice :thumbsup: (i have them also all on one shift register on the v4 non-lite)

Hi, you need to send MIDI CCs, best by using the special CC track type in the MBSEQ - it allows e.g. automated filter sweeps, you can even record the CCs sent by your XBase and play them back... I´d suggest to to record the CCs at first, so that you see which values are sent/are of interest to you. The other way to do it, would be to use a MIDI Mixer map, which allows one-shot CCs to be sent (see handbook, i have not done it yet myself :-)) Greets, Peter

Totally agreed, two step digits should be sufficient :) The step display has not been tested yet on the ´lite, would be great if someone would report back! :)

* PIC, because it was the MIDIbox gold standard * LPC17, because it is the MIDIbox platin standard * MIDInfineon uC, because it has a good chance to be the MIDIbox obsidian standard (and it was co-developed by TK. :)) :ahappy:

Sounds good! Have lots of fun with it! :)

Hi Paul! These kingbright LED digits will work fine, i use them in the seq v4 and am happy with them! :) You might need to experiment with the DOUT LED pinout a little bit, until everything works, there were reports of inverted pins - a breadboard really helps: (0 bpm - a very ambient track is going on :-)) You might also want to add three more digits to obtain a current-step indicator, which should also work on the lite... but it may not be really necessary, as there is the fine "bar" indicator already. Greets! Peter

Thanks Mastomo - looking really forward to hear your next track, your last one was superb! Many greets to france! Peter

Thx m00dawg! :clover:

Thanks, J! Great to hear someone else will build the TPD :) Hope to hear your modular soon! :) Greets! Peter

i´d totally recommend to use the datawheel to scroll - it´s a new feature since a few revisions - thanks to TK who saved my left/right buttons from being totally worn off :)

T´is mah newest happy track for all 8-bit lovers - ofc with 2^7 bpm :) Especially for j i tilted the cam to show the nyanalized track position display in the lower right part :) Thx for listening! :) Greets, Peter

Hi, it is a 1N4148 diode for the button input matrix :)

That is some very nice DIY! I doubt, that you can take it in the handluggage of an aeroplane, though :) Am waiting for a step-up converter to power the LPC with only 2 rechargable AA batteries, but yours will have a longer battery life-time! Greets, Peter

Yo flip! :-) that´s kindof them, same seller as I bought from (recommended!)... Mine were white (but also from alps and softtouch), but they should have the same size, so I am quite sure, that these will work fine, if you are not scared of mounting them diagonally :) The price is very good for the quality, they are really precise when pressed and have an excellent tactile feeling :) Greets! Peter

Wow, that song is really great! Very, very nice! Greets, Peter

Yes, you are absolutely right, these will work - I misunderstood the term "tri color" as three base colors (RGB), especially after looking at the price :-) As long as they have three leads with a common cathode, it will work for the BLM. Please note, that you can get them @ reichelt for less than 20cents per piece, it is expensive to buy around 300 of them :-) Greets and have lots of fun building it! Peter

Hi there, good luck with your project! Tri-color LEDs will not work due to the wiring (at least one color won´t be available) - have a look: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_blm_map.pdf So use two single-color leds or duo-color leds with a shared cathode. Greets, Peter

Thanks to all of you! It was very quickly done, please forgive some off-notes and bad timing - but totally agreed, the ´lite is a superb live tool, just what you need to have fun :)
