Parting ways with most of built and to be built DIY audio projects and parts for them i kept over the years. Life moves on at its own pace, and my DIY audio box seemingly have been left for far too long unattended. Ebay listing CNC-milled Acrylic Protection Screen for Character LCD 40x2 in original wrap, never used. Shipping from Canada or US at cost.

Parting ways with MBSEQ Control Surface PCB and parts kit and most of built and to be built DIY audio projects. Comes straight out of my DIY audio box which seemingly have been left for far too long unattended, and life moves on at its own pace. What you receive: MBSEQ Control Surface PCB in original plastic wrap MBSEQ Control Surface Parts Kit in original plastic wrap (SmashTV) Encoders (17) !!! After taking the photos, I realized tactile pushbutton switches do not belong to this kit and you will need more anyways. They probably belong to another cool DIY project i had collected for many years. Anyways, if you think you'll have a use for them too, tell me so otherwise they wont be included. Crossing fingers so these terrific board, encoders and the parts kit would be a fast-forward track for somebody with true DIY spirit out there who could enjoy it as much as one dreamt of. Not looking to profit, Shipping from Canada or US at cost. Kartoshka

A couple of days before the midiphy SEQ was announced here I started working on building my Wilba panel sequencer unaware that things were about to change and get a lot cooler. I had prototyped an acrylic front panel on an epilog laser cutter and was thinking about ways to attach the panel to the control board. I considered using metal spacers but have never really had luck with gluing metal to acrylic, so I though maybe use abs and use the Makerbot to print some spacers? In the past few days I've whipped up these spacers and they have turned out really nice. I was able to build them so they support the LCDs at the perfect depth to the panel. My next panel will probably not even have holes for the LCDs, I'll just outline the windows with an engraving. I still need to build a bracket for around the main encoder, but there are a lot of little parts that I need to avoid around there so I left it as the last thing to do. I wanted to share the files for everyone because they seem to be quite useful so far. The spacers are 1/4" depth and I use a 1/4" Acrylic panel. I'll post a few more pictures later today. wilba fp brackets.pdf mbseq bracket L.stl mbseq bracket M.stl mbseq bracket R.stl mbseq bracket M2.stl

I have a few line driver PCB's left which a don't use. Included in the photo are the finished PCB's for reference. PCB's will be sold without components. A set (1 receiver PCB and 1 transmitter PCB) is €5. Shipping to most European countries is €4. If you're interested in buying a set let me know where you live and I can verify the shipping costs.

Yo, in case i did not mention it during the last months: the MIDIbox sequencer is awesome! It allows you to flee reality (baby teething worries) for as little as half an hour and have fun, without pushing a mouse, without staring into a computer screen or getting involved in operating system updates at unpleasant times :-). It just works out of the box, the MIDI timing is way better than that of a multi-GHz multicore computer and everyone is happy with as little as 128kb ram (in the older cores)! :-) This one contains a few fun samples from an old car information system - 1980s era - and reminds me of childhood - i especially love the modulation on the "door is *open*" sample :-). Yes, bash it, hate it, do whatever, but thanks for watching and listening ;-). Have a great evening! Peter

Hola, ... and... who would have suspected this... a new one, this one was "produced" with the little one sitting in her baby chair next to the synths and therefore, there were severe time restrictions (about 10 minutes in total, after a few tracks had been jam-prerecorded on the sequencer). Also, of course, it had to be a somewhat happy melody! :-D It is in a bit of a different format, it was created using only one hand, as the other hand was busy holding the camera and filming :). Hope you enjoyed it and hope to hear new music creations from you, too! Many greets! Peter

Hola, after playing a game of Turrican I on the good old Amiga (and incidentially pressing "ESC" while having 23 extra lives, no joke, searched for the pause button :-)!), i managed to be somehow inspired and record a new retrowave tune in two hours :-). Only six tracks (+drums) occupied on the MBSEQ, but a lot fun was involved, so as usual, many thanks are in order to TK. for the AWESOME hardware (MBSEQ+MBSID)! :-D And many thanks for the Anushri PCB + preprogrammed microcontroller, Shuriken! It is a really nice piece of kit! :-) Thanks for watching and listening, Peter

Hola, it has been a while and it is great to see others posting their sound output in this forum section as well, please keep it coming! :-)... Here is a new late night live jam session, this time with a pair of C64 SIDs (8580) (one engine in the MB6582) and their spiritual successor, the Ensoniq ESQ1/ESQm. Both synthesis engines feature three oscillators per voice, the ESQ1 offers more waveforms, improved envelopes and modulation possibilities and an increased audio quality. Bob Yannes (the creator of the SID and founder of Ensoniq) once stated, that he (given he would have had the time and resources) would have liked to put the ESQ1 architecture instead of the SID sound architecture into the C64. In a parallel universe, this has probably happened, hehe :-). Many greets and thanks for watching and listening! Peter

Hola, End of year holidays = build time ;-) Here is a new specialized "form factor" for a MBSEQ, that is based on Wilbas CS PCB and the new STM32F4 board. Of course, it involves a bit of DIY to achieve the flatness, some connections have to be soldered without IDC connectors, and U-shaped aluminum rails have to be cut, but no problem! :-) Tech specs: * "Slim and wide" MBSEQ V4, only 21mm high, about 70 cm wide * 40x2 OLEDs for high screen update speed and low power consumption * Pushable encoders for accelerated scrolling/note input * Battery powered for high mobility and no necessity to carry around a PSU for a jam session with friends * High quality omron tactile switches for a few million cycles (at least that is what they are advertised for) * Green transparent acrylics base and side panels for ambient light gathering and green beam emission :-) * Additional bling and functionality achieved with the TPD board :-) * Laser engraved Manga, that has been "inked" for a higher contrast :-). More pictures will be added, as the build progresses, but so far things are looking good! The battery is a 6 cell 2700mAh AA NiMh soldered pack, that can be recharged with a simple wall charger (the charge port is installed in the upper aluminum rail). A small integrated high-efficiency switching PSU converts the 6 - 9V from the battery pack down to a stable 5V. USB powered operation is optional and switchable. The battery actually lasts for many hours, i have not managed to drain it during the assembly test time, I guess it should be good for at least an evening of jamming, but maybe even 10 hours (current not measured, yet). Using NiMH and not LiPo batteries was a requirement, due to easiness of charging and battery safety. This unit was especially built for use on a MIDIfied piano. It fits perfectly on the central noteholder and after attaching just 2 midi cables, one is ready to jam :-). The amount of MIDI ports has been reduced to 4, as more is not necessary for that usecase, but an additinal four MIDI ports can be stacked on top (right side of the unit, see a picture, that is posted later on ;-)). If you are interested in the Formulor/Ponoko plans or have general build questions, say a word, and I will make them available publicly and give advice on how to build it. Hopefully, you are enjoying the report and maybe get some ideas for building a non-standard SEQ? :-) It is the best hardware sequencer on this planet and deserves some customization efforts to create a unique, personalized unit! :-) Many greets, Peter

I got a bit nostalgic and listened to some of my old songs. This song was made five years ago semi live with my at the time newly built MB-SEQ v4 controlling software synths. I didn't post this before but now got surprised how complex and polished it sounds.

Hola, Finally, glad to see more action in this subsection of the forum, please keep them MIDIbox tracks/sessions posted, they are all inspirational, especially seeing different SEQ workflows in action! I think, i am the only one working primarily in the track mute screen, right? ;-) Many thanks to TK. for this great hardware sequencer and jojjelito for the name suggestion for this track :-) Have a great time! Peter

Hola, it has been some time, springtime lazyness hit bad and all, but finally... :-) This track is more of a video collage of good memories of the past few years, hope you enjoy! Made with a MB6582 and an Alesis Andromeda, all sequenced by the great MBSEQ V4! Thanks for watching and listening and have a great springtime! (The plants in the pictures are agaves, of course! ;-)) Many greets, Peter
