attrib Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Good day MIDIbox community, I'm thinking about making a MIDIbox CV for my Yamaha CS-10 synthesizer and I'm wondering if they'll work together. The Yamaha CS-10 uses Hz/V of C1 = 0.25V, C2 = 0.50V, C3 = 1.00V, C4 = 2.00V.. and therefore have different voltages then (for example) the Korg synths. I read in another topic () that there are problems getting the MIDIbox CV to work with these older Yamahas. Does anyone have experience connecting a Yamaha CS to the MIDI CV? I really like to know if it will work. Or can someone give me some advice to make it work probably? Otherwise I'll go and buy a Kenton Pro Solo but I prefer a DIY solution a lot more because I like to make things. I think the MIDIbox is interesting and a great project to work with! Another quick question about the MIDIbox CV: If I'll buy a MIDIbox core with a PIC that already includes a bootloader; do I need to buy a burner to write the MIDIbox CV application to the PIC? Thanks a lot. Cheers, Cesar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi Cesar, I've no experience with the CS10. Another quick question about the MIDIbox CV: If I'll buy a MIDIbox core with a PIC that already includes a bootloader; do I need to buy a burner to write the MIDIbox CV application to the PIC? No, you could buy a PIC with preprogrammed Bootloader and MIOS from SmashTV's shop: http://www.midibox-shop.com Once you built the core, you only have to upload the MBCV application anymore to complete the installation. Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attrib Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thank you. :) I think I will buy the PIC and core at Mike's shop because otherwise I have to deal with custom fees. But I assume Mike's PICs will do too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yes, this should be ok. Only difference: Mike only programs the bootloader, which means that you've to install MIOS by yourself, and thereafter the application. (no real challenge, both is done via MIDI with MIOS Studio ;-)) -> http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap_newbies.html Best Regards, Thorsten.

attrib Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thank you for your help TK. I hope someone with a Yamaha synth will read this topic and can answer my main question. I would really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
