Very nice! The encoders also look like they were made to withstand a direct cannon hit from a naval vessel :-) Bye, Peter

Hi ionas, maybe an already finished project is right for you - have a look at the MBHP projects section on ucapps.de and in the user projects section in the Wiki. If you don´t find anything that suits your needs, I would recommend to directly jump to MIOS32 (and replace that Core8 by a Core32) - it is easier to program and has very good tutorials here: http://ucapps.de/mios32_c.html Bye, Peter

Yes to all questions :-) you need only one DINX4 for 16 buttons and 2 encoders (16 + 4 pins used from 32 pins in total) The mounting of the jog-wheel depends on the jog wheel of course - you can buy plastic ones suitable for mounting on 6mm "D-Shaft" encoders. Extension is possible up to 4x DINX4 and 4xDOUTX4. Bye, Peter

Interesting. Thanks! You never stop to learn :-)

As far as i know the C64 PSU delivers 9V AC, which are, after the bridge rectifier ca 9V * 1.4 or 12V, which are then fed into the 7809. But this may well be wrong :-) Bye, Peter

That should be it. Depending on your requirements, you could also replace the potentiometers by encoders and have another DIN instead of the AIN kit. Bye, Peter

Smithy, your drums are great - thanks for upping! Made a very little live track with them, also featuring the Yamaha FS1R FM synth :) Greetz, Hawkeye

Peter, as information theory says, when an extended amount of recipients gets parse errors there is a high likelyhood of insentient messages. Or in other words... cut the crap, please.

Peter, I must admit, I could not ignore you, it was too entertaining - how do you actually construct sentences like your last one - is there a special software for it? Best regards, Peter

but you need some additional dins/douts and the correct wiring schema - it would probably be easier to invest in a mb6582 baseboard and transfer your components

Hi Paul, it will surely work, but I have no information on the quality of the transistor amplification, so in other words it could sound good or bad depending on your quality requirements :-). If you want to go passive (no transistor amplification) first, you can at first build the top of the diagram only, just until below the 220K resistors for each channel and use 10K resistors for each channel instead and also try to omit C1-C3. The MBSID output circuits have a fairly high signal level imho and you may not need the transistor amp part at all. Best regards, Peter

Hi Robin, Probably pedal -> analog potentiometer -> ain -> core -> midi is the way to go... Methinks that there are no encoders offering the resolution you need (128 steps for the full pedal travel). Best regards, Peter

ok, thanks for your last post, it finally identified you as forum troll, which i suspected all the way from the beginning. *ignore mode on*

Really very nice! I like the LCDs! Bye, Peter

<irony> Yo dude, if ya haz once experienced tha mighty new LPCNespresso rainbow land, you will not want to build a bridge back to old grey Arduino land. Cause its got lazerz! And caffeine! </irony>

Hi Paul, no problem, if you do a little searching, you will find loads of descriptions how to build them... If you want to start with a passive mixer, look here, for example http://www.nirvis.com/mixers.htm The upper part only shows a mono mixer (left or right side only), you have to build two of them. You can of course add potentiometers "behind" the fixed resistors (they used 2k, i think the MB6582 uses 10k, which I would also suggest) for manually reducing each channels signal level. That should be exactly what the passive Rolls mixer does... Best regards, Peter

Peter, the community and what MIDIbox is doing right now is absolutely great as it is, really no need for change :-). Best regards, Peter

Hi, if it worked (and not the USB-host part is kind of a hardware restriction) it would be lotsa work to code... I´d really go the old "DIN" way and boycot any keyboards/synths that don´t have these sockets :-)
