mr_DK Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hello,I'm proud to present after some months of hard labour. My first MIDI router! (As you can see, I'm still waiting for my buttons to be delivered 8). After this I can start programming, it will be a combination of a router (LED's on the left to select which IN ports goes to which OUT ports), and a MIDI filter to filter or change data on each out port (mostly controlled with the buttons). The LEDS on the right are the status leds (used the ltc module for the core status leds.I'm just curious for all kinds of opinions about design, concept... good or bad...Thanks,BestHansDSC_4374.JPGDSC_4374.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_DK Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Another picture here about the technical side.I may be have to mount an EEPROM IC to be able to save presets on filters and routing schematics...best!hansDSC_4376.JPGDSC_4376.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nILS Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Oooh that thing is pretty! Nice work!Love the routing led-matrix ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Awesome! I like the two panel concept, with the bevel cutout, that looks very cool. How did you make the panels, especially the artwork? I also like the glued (JB-Weld?) spacers :) BTW the two LED matrix boards look blue, are they custom made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_DK Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks for the compliments! Gives a nice feeling that all the work I did is appreciated.The whole router was designed in Cinema 4D so I had a complete overlook of everything, so I knew from before that everything should fit perfectly (the lasertran print design was made by illustrator and also tested in cinema 4D, as well as the wholes had to fit perfectly as wel)The 3 blue PCBs are indeed custom made, 2 in the front panel with the leds connected (they're all made by a good friend of mine), and the third mini PCB is LED driver derived from the LTC midi module, which handles the core TxRx LEDs.The glued busses to the front panel are from conrad:http://www1.conrad.be/scripts/wgate/zcop_be3/~flNlc3Npb249UDkwX0JFX0IyQzpDX0FHQVRFMDU6MDAwMC4wMGIyLjU2NmI0NjdjJn5odHRwX2NvbnRlbnRfY2hhcnNldD1pc28tODg1OS0xJn5TdGF0ZT0xNjkwMDMzMTE1====?~template=PCAT_AREA_S_BROWSE&mfhelp=&p_selected_area=%24ROOT&p_selected_area_fh=&perform_special_action=&glb_user_js=Y&shop=BE&vgl_artikel_in_index=&product_show_id=&p_page_to_display=DirektSearch&~cookies=1&zhmmh_lfo=&zhmmh_area_kz=&s_haupt_kategorie=&p_searchstring=afstandsbout&p_searchstring_artnr=&p_searchstring_manufac_artnr=&p_search_category=alle&fh_directcall=&r3_matn=&insert_kz=&gvlon=&area_s_url=&brand=&amount=&new_item_quantity=&area_url=&direkt_aufriss_area=&p_countdown=&p_80=&p_80_category=&p_80_article=&p_next_template_after_login=&mindestbestellwert=&login=&password=&bpemail=&bpid=&url=&show_wk=&use_search=3&p_back_template=&template=&kat_save=&updatestr=&vgl_artikel_in_vgl=&titel=&darsteller=®isseur=&anbieter=&genre=&fsk=&jahr=&jahr2=&dvd_error=X&dvd_empty_error=X&dvd_year_error=&call_dvd=&kna_news=&p_status_scenario=&documentselector=&aktiv=&gewinnspiel=&p_load_area=$ROOT&p_artikelbilder_mode=&p_sortopt=&page=&p_catalog_max_results=20They are glued with dual component glue, which is very strong. This way I didn't had to make wholes in the front panel. The panels are screwed onto the busses, so they can always be removed.BestHans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem! Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Pretty nice work!What´s about your code, is it still ready? I´m interested in some input for filtering especially in how to solve the menue-structure for the user´s interface in my keyboard midification project.Best regardsclem!

mr_DK Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 still thinking about the organisation of the software, I've also been thinking a lot about the structure of the menus. I just need a little bit more time to sort that out. Now there's nothing programmed yet.I'll post it, from the moment it's finished.bestHans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitched Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Very well done!That wiring job must've been a headache!Everything's very well organized.I'm starting to think the MIDIbox platform can be used for anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
