Dropped this to $550. I'll split international shipping costs with you.

I do, I'll message you.

Sold!

Hi Thorsten and all, I've been not using my MBSEQv4 (+AOUT, +extra IIC outs) since my old band stopped playing. I'd like to sell it for its build cost (about $700 USD) if I can. Totally functional except for a line in an LCD, two sticky tactile switches (functional, but sticky, I'd include my extra stock), and some sloppy drilling on the back for the CV/Gate outs (not TOO bad), all of which would be disclosed to the seller. Loved building it, owning it, writing with it, and gigging with it, but it's time to simplify for me. Thanks!

Just FYI, I'd like to leave this open to US buyers ONLY for a week. Just from experience selling/shipping records and equipment internationally lately I would like to avoid the hassle and potential issues. That said, after a week I'll be offering it to folks in the order I receive PMs. Thanks for understanding.

SOLD! Thank you!

Of course. Makes sense, though if I charged myself for labor for building my SEQ it would have cost another $4,000 or something outrageous. I'll test the board one last time today and throw it up in the fleamarket today or tomorrow. Thanks for your help, guys. -Scott

Ok, if parts cost-only charging is standard practice, I'll do that. Just seems a bit strange to value an unassembled parts kit and a functioning project at the same value when they're qualitatively different. Again, not that I have a problem with that, it's a community based forum, but its just a little unusual to me.

Hey I built a Core32 and had some trouble, bought another one, built it and then successfully troubleshooted the original. It works fine now but I don't need it in my SEQ any longer. My question is what's a fair value to sell it in the parts section? Parts and PCB were about $55 I think. Is there a fair value for assembling it, say $10 USD, or should I just list it for parts value? Thanks, -Scott

Thorston, a cool idea for a solution to our issue! Grizz and I will sit down and try and "think out" how that will apply to the problem and get back to you with thoughts sometime next week. Its a complicated session. Definite MB.org/Ucapps.de shoutout on the LP deserved! Thanks a million. -Scott

Grizz and I are having a few issues with switching patterns while playing live and I can't seem to solve the issue with the Manual alone. We have a session that has two patterns: Pattern A is pattern with a track with a length of 12 and a track length of 24. (Essentially, a 3/4 musical phrase with varying measure lengths.) Pattern B is a pattern with a track with a length of 8, a 3 tracks with a length of 32. (A 4/4 phrase with varying measure lengths.) The time of transition between these two is improvised because we are playing along with two percussionists. So we typically just use the Mute Menu and Pattern Menu when playing live and that works fantastically. What we realized was happening was when we transitioned between the two patterns the step count would be as such: Pattern A: 1,2,3...22,23,24, Pattern B: 25,26,27...31,32,1,2,3... instead of: Pattern A: 1,2,3...22,23,24, Pattern B: 1,2,3,4...32,1,2... So that if you were to play the sequences on a keyboard you would be playing in 3/4 and then begin a phrase in 4/4 at the beginning of that phrase instead of near the middle as the SEQ is playing it. After spending a bunch of time reading the manual and playing with the Options Menu Sync to Change and Sync to Measure in the Clock Divider, I enabled Sync to Measure on all the tracks in both patterns. This created the transition desired and Pattern B began "on the 1" instead of the 13, however it made it so that all of the tracks that were previously 32 steps long are cropped to 24. Also not desirable. If I take Sync to Measure off of Pattern B's tracks it acts the way described above, with the phrase beginning on 13. Is there as way to have the Step Number reset to 1 upon a Pattern transition for all Tracks regardless of Sync to Change or Sync to Measure? Because at the moment the transition (whether manually timed (by us counting down) or by Sync to Change) is just starting on Step 13 unless the Sync to Measure is engaged and that creates new issues. I don't know if there's an existing solution already or if it is possible for each individual pattern have a separate, savable "Pattern: X Steps" under the Options menu in future versions? Any help is tremendously appreciated. It is sort of a confusing problem (or it was for us at first) so I'd be happy to upload some audio if that would explain it better. Thanks. -Scott

So, an update (and introduction -- first post!): Grizz and I were building this Core32 PCB (for me, they'll be two MidiBox Seq v4s the band ultimately) and I don't remember what exactly went wrong first, but I took it home and was kind of blindly (and stupidly) putting jumpers on and it only started to have more problems. Since we thought it was going to come down to buying a JTAG wiggler to fix it (or so we thought), I just bought a second Core32 and populated it myself based on the uCapps documentation, which has been going well (almost done). On a whim I decided to load the SEQv4 application again on the "broken" core (pretty sure we did this before) while closing all the correct jumpers and lo and behold it started to work fine. I have no idea what the causality was in all this, but now it works great. Thanks for everybody's help, its been cool being introduced to this community! Now I just need to buy another round of LCDs (been through 4 so far and luckily am only out $50 for it). Don't ever feel bad for being too uptight about pinouts, eh? I may trade a finished Core32 at some point over in the "Fleamarket" if I don't think of some additional project first.
