  1. 9 years after buying my M-audio midi keyboard, I read the manual :D, and discovered that I could transpose the notes directly on that controller. Man, would've saved me a lot of mouse clicks @ gigs if I knew before. Lesson: 1: Read manual. 2: Read manual again. 3: Read manual and make sure you have understood the manual. 4: Have fun.

  2. Finally W7 on the studio PC. finally possible after I got rid of the mbox1 ghost. Means more ram, SSD running. Formating the e PC gives the same feelining as cleaning your room :D

      Thanks for the tip. I'll give that one a try. I used to be all into viritual stuff, but midibox opened my eyes :D. It's something about spending time in this enviorment - it gets to you :P

      yes, me prefers hardware, too, but when it is unaffordable (ob-x) and an emulation is that good, listen without watching and try to tell which is the vst and which is the original :)

      Hehe, I haven't got enough experience with oberheim to tell the difference in a blind test. But critic listening: There are minor differences that I hear - sometimes - but not in any way does the vsti sound bad. Worst case, only a little bit different, but that is a completely other thing than bad sounding.

  3. MOTU 8pre arrived, unboxing pics tomorrow :D

      :) Finally I got it in my hands, been going back and forth about buying an interface, and back and forth on buying this one for a long time. So it's a extremely well thought through purchase. Still it hurts. It's fun saving money, not so fun spending them all. Need to save more now - like the feeling of some bucks in the pillow :P

      You´ll love it, good choice for sure :)

      Dude, u have a bike, as in MC? My bro just bought a 900 cbr - think it's from the very late 90s. A really nice bike.

      I wish I had a nice motorbike, but for now it's a MTB and a Kustom Kruiser.

    4. technobreath

      technobreath

      Oh cool! those cruisers are cool looking. Candyred one with flames? :D. Man, I hope I get good wind conditions this week, it's aching in my hands to take the kite for a testflight! And not least - take me for a testflight hehe.

  5. time to order my new interface. motu 8pre. It's Goood.

      I just ordered the 8pre. Pretty excited to see what it can do for me. I gave about nok 5100 incl. shipping ;) Pretty much the same price I would pay in a foreign webshop incl. taxes, vat and shipping. So I'm pleased.

      I have also been looking at RME, but @ this time it's too expensive for what I need. I suspect I will be all set for a while with the 8PRE ;)

  6. chunks in a pile of coal in the bowl. Take out the ligther and lit it, STEEAAAAK! :D MMMMMMMM

      :) hehe. A nice bbq dinner topped with a visit from an old friend of mine in the evening, missus had to drive him home hehe :D Drinking on wednesday evening TB. Shame on you! But it was good :D

  7. After reading nils' link to nikolai tesla comic on fb today I know I am a geek myself. Yesterday missus went all "fred-come-to-bed" on me, and I told her - nah.. this pcb needs to be soldered first :P

  8. Why is babies born with an asshole? To annoy the daddy by shitting in it right after receiving a new diaper apparently... It better just be a fart! :D

      My little daughter was about ...I dont remember anymore ...but she had the "pampers" so full of poo that she started to seed little drops of shit in all the rooms...fortunately she saved the carpet :D

  9. Anyone up for another bulk order for Waldorf knobs? If there is interest, and the price isn't doubled since the 2011 bulk order, I can guarantee I'm in for at least 100 knobs.

      Hmm. I had forgotten about that... It's some months ago now though. People, let me know if there's interest, and apprx. how many you could be in for.

    3. Hawkeye

      sry, me iz out again, for the fs1r controller later on i need very slim knobs, thinking reichelt 10mm ones.

    4. technobreath

      technobreath

      Cool. I have learnt that a bulk order takes time to mature in midibox community hehe. So that's why I took the initiative - I am not in hurry - have knobs enough for a few projects :)

  10. had his first workout session with personal trainer today :D. Hehe, I never thought I'd be the one to hire a personal trainer, but it's great fun, and effective - just do what u're told :D.

      Nice.. I've been thinking I need the same thing! I don't have enough motivation to exercise on my own.

    3. Hawkeye

      great progress :)

    4. technobreath

      technobreath

      thanks :) My motivation is really skyhigh, but it's easy in weak moments to again start fooling myself, so that's why I chose to organize it that way. :).

  11. is searching for his old volume pedal. It's gonna have surgery wether it wants to or not :D

      Yeah! All the Old Korg Logos and stickers is sanded off the case. Now I'm gonna paint it, get some new sticker on it, and there's the brand new expression pedal :D

  12. Yeah! Parts for my 64e expression box on it's way :D

      I predict a mb6582 on my table in 2026 :P

      Hmm, the good things take time.

      LPC1769, 82c54 timers, AINSER, pots, encoders, LEDs. And moar.

  13. Will definetly find some time this evening to nail the enclosure design for the mb6582 :)

      Haha, u know that I ALWAYS put a picture up here when I did something, so I guess u are right, it didn't happen :D. Kid got sick the last days, so I had to do other stuff... but I have definetly given it a lot of thought ;).

      I have now made a picture of the second revision of the vcf board available at the gallery. This has some minor layout changes and also a "cleaned up" silkscreen. I'm having serious trouble fitting it all in there, so if anyone would like to have a go at it, I'll send em the eagle files ;).

    3. wicked1

      wicked1

      I'm super interested in these. Will definitely take 4 boards when you've got them. Can pre-pay if it helps w/ development costs, etc. Will stuff proto boards and test, too, if you want.

      Thanks!

    4. wicked1

      wicked1

      Any new news on the filter boards? My ssm's are taunting me :)

  15. is browsing ucapps for idea on what to build next, that is after my two synths are finished. Maybe a mbseq... Don't know yet.

      for your controller, methinks you could well start off with a MIDIO128 V3 and upgrade to MIDIbox NG when its ready - btw the SEQ also integrates fine into a DAW environment, not trying to convince you or something ;-)

    3. technobreath

      technobreath

      Hehe hawk, no convincing needed. I definetly want to build a seq, but that will probably come next after that again, or at the same time hehe :).

    4. technobreath

      I have been playing around a bit now today with my piano (I have a digital piano in my studio) and I love good old piano with analog pads on the synth. I found out that I need a midi expression pedal to adjust cutoff on the filter. So that is definetly gonna be part of the next controller.

  16. I traded in empty soda bottles at the supermarket today. Here we get 1 nok for 0.5 liter ones and 2.50 NOK for 1.5 liter ones. I ended up with a lot of people smiling at me and 524.50 NOK more in my wallet than when I came in :D. Haha. Goes right into my secret account (the pig on the kitchen counter :P)

    1. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Hidden treasure FTW. We get 1 SEK for small bottles and cans, or 2SEK for 1.5L and 2L bottles. It adds up...

    2. technobreath

      technobreath

      yep, 1 NOK for cans here too :).

  17. Watching the opening trials for the norwegian shooter... pretty wierd to see how normal and well educated the man looks and sounds...

    1. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Terrible tragedy! They should put him in a room and then throw away the room.

    2. Hawkeye

      Hawkeye

      totally agreed.

  18. oooh no! TB, keep away from the sportscar listings!!

    1. technobreath

      technobreath

      I could not resist. Now I want a car. :D

    2. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Ha! Mid-life crisis already or just lusting for a summer car?

    3. technobreath

      technobreath

      Hehe, I sure hope it's not a mid life crisis yet. I'm saving that for the boat :P. Hehe. I grew up with cars in the garage, and have rebuilt a couple myself, and I always wanted a toyota mr2 - mk2 of course! So yesterday I told my wife I'm printing out a picture of it to know what I'm saving my money for hehe, and she had to agree it was really nice, but wondered if I was too old for having a car like that.... WTF? No IM NOT!!

  19. Hahahaha, I just browsed ebay for ssm2044, just to check availability. Before I knew what happened I hed pressed "commit to buy" 4 ICs :D. Hehe, Guess I need to build some VCFs now :P

  20. Trace tetris is like working the opposite direction of the universe! Trying to bring order to the chaos! :D

      Entropy rules, but just do the power and gnd runs first. The rest is "artistry"...

    2. technobreath

      technobreath

      Hehe, yes. Problem is that this is a linear multiple rail powersupply :D. Everything is power and ground runs :D hehe
