joewhat Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 thanks futureman, this is my PSU from the PC and i thought i'd just solder wires from the motherboard where it connects to the PC.. is this a switched PSU,, sorry if im retarded :// the specs is 12V 3A DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 what is switchmode PSUs? - i thought the Optimized PSU took care of the noise?-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply ;)Common PSUs work with a simple transformer. But there will still be some light 50 or 60Hz buzz, which can be eliminated with the Optimised PSU circuit.i stumbled upon some flight simulation geeks at http://www.desktopaviator.com/ who provide this for a better and real flight experience :0)he ships both the PCB and encoders.. i dont know if this is cheap?50 bucks... that is expensive. You can easily hook up a DIN-board to your Core and connect the encoders (which can be found elsewhere for <2$) to the DIN.btw: If you search the board for "GM5", you'll find a very low-cost MIDI-USB-Interface with up to 5 I/Os.

joewhat Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 sorry, i should have done the search string., :-[ (anyhow im gonna do the thing and use my ears.. then make a choice and thanks for your replys)GM5 ok wow, i just bought this one flight simulation thingy.. it seem so friendly . ??? :0)i know i could read up on this but.. if i connected a DIN board to the core.. then the core would be able to foward in some midi data to the pc from the encoders.. as in not having the encoders to control anything MBSIDv2 parameter?? the thing is, i want in my program so that i can use the encoders for multiply parameters by chancing interface fan or simular. so i can use them to tweak my max/msp synth and samples aswell as the MBSIDv2. i saw the kool in having these connect to the pc with HID to max/msp.

SLP Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 if i connected a DIN board to the core.. then the core would be able to foward in some midi data to the pc from the encoders.. as in not having the encoders to control anything MBSIDv2 parameter??This should be doable with some programming.If you want to go the easy way (which will take up more space), you could just build a small MB64E. Just a Core and a DIN.The funny thing is, that even with a Core-Kit (~27$) and a DIN-Kit (14$) from Smash, you'll still end up 9$ cheaper than with that flight-simulator-thingy :D. Plus you'll have the possibility to add some other Modules (DOUT for some LEDs, a MotorFader-module...).The GM5 is still a great (the best?!?) choice for connecting your Eee-PC with the SID. the PCB is sooo tiny (you don't have to solder the MIDI-sockets) and it's sooo cheap as well. Plus you'll have the possibility to connect up to 4 additional MIDI-Devices to the PC with just a minimum of additional circuitry for each I/O pair.i saw the koolDid you see the gang, too? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewhat Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 :0) this is some good points you have here. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I used a switchmode PS in my SID synth..http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,12413.75.htmlThe Power Supply I used has a 5v & 12v output.. I regulated the 12v down to 9v for the SIDs.After A-B'ing it with a commodore 64 PS and the switchmode PS and I could not hear any difference in background noise etc..Just my $.02, your results may vary.RegardsMikeMike any more info that psu you used?Model name, part number or whatever?Sounds like a good one to go for, or else maybe its just that the optimized circuit is really great at well...."optimizing." lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futureman Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Mike any more info that psu you used?Model name, part number or whatever?http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MP3108&keywords=power+supply&form=KEYWORDThis is from a local electronics store in Australia.. A touch expensive, but delayed switch on / switch off, low profile, zero heat.I'm sure you could find something similar locally.RegardsMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
