I'm new here but I’ve wanted to build a midibox64 for a long time now. I've searched this site many times but I never knew where and how to start. I’ve quite some soldering experience, I builded a sequentix P3 sequencer, an ASM1modulair synth and an Oakley Sound 3031 and more stuff. I just always used a good step by step guide, but with the MIOS projects it’s a little different. I understand that's because the modulair principle of the midibox so that everybody can build his own machine.
Yet after last good look I thought I understood the whole principle and I knew what to do. A 'normal' midibox 64, no encoders or motorized fader or something.
I want to build an analogue style controller for Ableton Live.
I want to experiment with different variable resistors, strain and bending etc. And I’ve builded a Paia Theremax witch sends 0-5 V CV signals that I would like to use.
Therefore I chose the regular midibox 64 with the PIC core base and ordered the necessary kits from smashTV yesterday.
But when I came back to this site and started reading over and over again, I started questioning myself if I couldn’t better start with the STM32 core, for that’s the future!
But for the MIOS 8/midibox64 I understand how to work and start assembling, and for the STM/MIOS32 I don’t understand and don’t know how to start.
Is it as simple, or is STM32 specially designed for new and advanced projects?
What are your thoughts? All input is welcome!
I can probably still change my order, because it’s not payed yet.
Thanx and regards,
Roel
