  1. While I still have a small spotlight, I'd like to thank everyone who answered and I'd like to special thank TK who's done a invaluable job to the SDIY community with his Midibox hardware, and who still to this day is bringing us something like Plus firmwares, even though from time to time random idiots appear on this forum asking if they are "worth it"... :queen:
  2. Cancelled my order with the LPC17 and made a new one today with a STM32F4 board. This is the best way to go I believe now.
  3. Thanks for the reply, eptheca. Initially I thought that the newer board would be much more harder to install, but the more I research the board the more I realize that it's not really a big deal. I noticed from your recent thread that you seem to be building (or atleast planning) a SEQ V4 with a STM32F4 board. I'd like to hear from you why you've chosen a MIDI I/O module and a quad IIC_MIDI module instead of just two MIDI I/O modules? What housing are you planning on?
  4. Thank you borfo for your reply. Here's what I'd like to ask further more: Sorry, I was maybe a bit blurry with this part. I actually wanted to know more about the upcoming "Plus" firmware, but I'm taking that only a few select people know anything about it at this point. Still I'd like to know if all this extra hardware hassle is worth for the upcoming features. Could I replace the MBHP_ETH with this: http://store.gadgetfactory.net/ethernet-module/ Could you tell me more how the external USB connection is made from the board? Is the internal connection on the STM32F4DISCOVERY or CORE_STM32F4? On the matter of USB, is USB power sufficient? Anything I need to take in consideration if I power the whole device only via USB? Thanks, David
  5. So after four years today I finally bit the bullet and ordered a SEQ CS PCB and a LPC17 core board. I started doubting this decision soon after as I bumped into something only mystically refered as "the future MIDIbox SEQ V4 Plus firmware", which apparently requires the newer STM32F4 board to function. I guess I could still try to change my order to get the STM32F4 board instead, but here's what's on the top of my mind: Is it worth it? When will it be available? Where can I find more info? Constructing a MBSEQ with the LPC17 board seems so much easier because it seems to have all the needed connections on the board itself. If I decide to go with the STM32F4 board, what boards do I need for external connectors? MBHP_ETH goes for ethernet, MIDI I/O modules for MIDI ins and outs, but what for USB and SD card slot? What about the CV/Gates port? Is it really needed if I don't have analog gear? What's the difference with MIDI I/O board and quad IIc_MIDI board? Can I install a BLM without the IIc_MIDI board? After I acquire all the needed boards; am I able to cram them all inside the case? I'll be using the acrylic case designed by smokestacksproductions. I read somewhere that fitting everything in a Heidenreich case is a bit tricky. I'd like to hear also some tips on how to attach the boards on the bottom part of the case. I've seen some pictures with hot glue and spacers. If anyone has build a MBSEQ with these hardware specs, I'd be happy to hear about your solutions and to see pictures of the insides. Any answers are appreciated. Thanks!
  6. Greetings! As the title might suggest, I'm planning to build Wilba's MB6582 design of the MIDIbox SID and I intend to replace the original SID chip with the SwinSID board. There are some questions orbiting my head about this concept. The first and biggest one is: will the SwinSID board fit inside this design? The MB6582 looks so robust that I have my doubts if I can cram extra stuff inside. I need to know also if there are some things I need to keep in mind when building the SwinSID board for MBSID. Also I have some questions about the building process of the SwinSID; can anyone recommend me an European site where from I can order a PCB for the SwinSID (I am assuming there are small business' which offer manuafacturing services for single PCBs for private users) and where from should I order a programming device for flashing the PLCC44 chips (I could also try building one myself if anyone has to offer DIY-links)? Thanks in advance and thank you all for this great community which seems to have alot to offer for!
