  1. Would be great! Maybe they're still on your ponoko account?!?! I used formulor before and my seq4 files are still there. I have a bag of flat LED's here myself, I'll check the diameter.
  2. Wow, never seen this case, looks beautiful and my MB6582 still needs one. Are the files available or should I design my own? Cheers, Roel
  3. Ok, problem NOT solved! I thought I found the problem but that wasn't the case Roel
  4. Hi, My Mios8 based MIDIclockbox cannot connect to MIOS Studio. As soon as I want to contact te Core by hitting the query button, the clockbox starts rebooting. My midi interface is working correctly, and the MIDI in of clockbox also, cause it slaves perfectly. I made some changes to the code I would like to trie, but before opening the maschine I want to ask here if somebody has an idea to fix it.
  5. Hi Marcel, welcome abroad! I just want to say high to you!!!, unfortunately I can't help you with this problem, as I'm working on MBCV2 with a LPC board, see pic. It's been some time since I last played with it. I started to addapt the Lemur template for my Samsung Galaxy S5 and came quite far. I have to dive in it again. I heard good stuff about your DIY CNC machine, I'm really curious! Sorry for interupting your question/problem, good luck with your LCD! Cheers, Roel
  6. Thanx for the mellotron samples, they're lovely! Cheers, Roel
  7. Hi AVLG, Cool module indeed! 2 all: Last month I made 2 samplebanks for my sample player, 2 octaves of accordion notes, 2 octaves of ContraBass nootes and 5 octaves of piano notes. The accordion notes sounded quite well but the piano distorted a lot when playing polyphony notes. So I tried again and normalized the piano sounds with -6dB, but they still distort really fast compared to the accordion sounds, while the accordion sounds are a lot louder. The only thing I can think of is that the piano sounds are far more clean and harsh sounds compared to the accordion, wich are a lot fuzzier, so you hear the distortion much better with piano sounds. For now I play polyphony piano sounds with low level velocity and it works acceptable, but maybe you have some hints to get more volume out of the piano sounds without distortion. And because it was quite some work to set up these sound banks I thought it would be a nice idea to share the files here so you can try them yourselves. Maybe you want to share your sounds also with us. I would love to try those melotron sounds or drumkits. Here are mine!
  8. Hi welcome! MIDIbox is a supurb platform indeed with a great sequencer. I don't wanna start about the possibilities or your questions, cause others are way better in that. Only thing: "I also implented musical scales. And a "notefilter" that only allows notes to be used that are in the chosen scale!"That's implemented in Seq4 as well and it's called FTS (force to scale) I just want to show you this movie from a MIDIbox I made witch has a sliders that are controlling note values. SEE HERE Cheers, Roel
  9. Of course you could, that's how I do it right now. But this needs tweeking everytime,.. like setting witch output,... if you want to hear 2 or more synths to listen to the drifting of VCO's you need more tracks. And with this 'tuning tracks' you have to run the sequencer, it sends out all other kind of information, Ok.. you can mute everything except for the tuning track etcetc . In the end it's quite a hassle. It's much easier to stop the sequencer and send a C3 note-on command to all machines. And hearing all those drifting/droning oscillators plaing just a C3 is quite impressive, I would love this feature.
  10. Yes, I also have a feature request!!! In history I builded a P3 sequencer, from Collin from sequentix, and this had a special 'tune' knob. It was a really handy knob witch I used a lot with my old analoge synths. When you hit it it sends a C3 note-on midi command on all outputs, and when you hit it again it sends the corresponding note-off command, I would love such a button cause it eliminates a technical setup step, really easy tuning! Cheers, Roel
  11. I would be interested in some boards at such a price. Cheers, Roel
  12. I would also like to order the parts, but I don't think I can miss so much money right now, so maybe I'll order the parts later myself

  14. Ik heb het in het verleden hier gekocht. Ze deden toen alleen verzenden vanaf 3 verpakkingseenheden?! Ik had toevallig een vriend in de buurt die het voor me op gehaald heeft.
  15. Hi Shuriken, If I click on Manage Image I only see; Edit details. If I click on that I can delete the thumbnail, but the picture is still there, even after saving. I don't see an option to delete the picture. It's not a problem for now, but I remember I had this problem before, and I'm unsure if I solved it. I just don't understand.
  16. I've a similar issue, is it possible to delete a single image from the gallery?
  17. Thanx, it's great work to do, but quite hard sometimes to keep everything going. The bus is 40 years old and we do all maintenance ourselves, we get a lot of energy from the kids!!!
  18. Hi Mathis, It took a long time to succeed this indeed. The idea started in 2011, I made a simple MIDIbox with an Ikea cabinet and showed it to a cultural/educational company. It was just a mixer, you opened a drawer and a sound came out, see here. The company was really interested and asked my to build one for them so schools could use it. We descided it should do more than just mixing some sounds, so we started brainstorming and came with the concept of improvising with pentatonic scales. Then they came with the woodworking man, great guy, but all this getting together with different people took long time. Everybody busy, etc, so there were months even years, the project lay down. And there were several technical difficulties to sort out. Non tecnical teachers should be able to pick up the cabinet, take it to school, plug in power and play with it. The machine must start up,and start up Ableton etc, without any errors. What if kids pull out the plug and put it in again. In the end that was the hardest part for me, cause I'm no special computer expert and no programmer at all, and it's quite an unusual situation. But with different fora I managed this problem. I also builded some max4live devices and that was also completely new for me. In the end it was a lot of work, but I learned a lot, and it's great stuff to do! For the speakers I didn't put any effort into the design. I just searched second hand sites for 'flat-speakers' and found Magnat S-10 speakers. They were flat, sounded good and had enough power to give the sound body. It worked out well, only some resonating thrills on low sounds, but that's just the woodwork. Cheers, Roel
  19. Hi TK, It's been more than a year but in the meantime I tried your suggestion of using MIDIO128 for touch sensors and it worked out really great. I wanted to let you know earlier, but I also wanted to show it. It took some time to finish my idea but here's the video: https://youtu.be/_6IIwa3SZ0Q Again your solution/suggestion was great and this whole cabinet thing wouldn't be born without your MIDIbox platform, you're my hero! Thanx! Cheers, Roel
  20. Hi there, One of my biggest project so far: the Klankkast! (dutch for resonator box) It's just a drawing cabinet with a simple HP computer in side, running Ableton with some Max4Live stuff controlled by Midibox! It's an educational instrument for schoolkids to start improvising. I builded it togher with Martijn Koomen (he did all the wonderfull woodwork) for an educational institute in the south of the Netherlands. It's a MIDIbox NG (stm32F4) for all analog input, sliders and pots, and the touch tips are connected to a Core8 running MIDIO128 V2. Special thanks again for TK for pointing me in this direction!!! Here's my first video of the cabinet! Cheers and enjoy watching! Roel
