latigid on Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi, check out http://avishowtech.com/buy for the PCB, I think you have to source your own switches and LEDs though. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi no digital , interesting tag for a forum that's digital friendly. :smile: Thanks for your reply. Damn it, I just figured that out.. Thought it was swedish or something. To add: You will also need the LPC17 development board which can be purchased at the same place you get your switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuddo Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi Altitude , this i my fisrt step into the digital world( read" boring old fart" who learnt his trade when valve/tubes were the go) and buying this project is doing my head in. I did my homework before asking on this site , but could find nowhere that sold a kit . So far i have been told about the seq PCB , and now the LPC17 , what about firmware , software , power supply pcb etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Imp Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The Lpc17 can get it's power through the usb-port. If you don't want to keep a computer connected, you can use a powered hub, or a phone-charger. The software is on ucapps.de. The MIDIbox SEQ V4 Lite has it's own category in the menu on the left.

latigid on Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Damn it, I just figured that out.. Thought it was swedish or something. :smile: It's from days gone by where everything was Moog and Space Echoes! I've since moved on but kept the moniker. OP: SEQ V4 Lite is probably the simplest project to get going on, so if you can solder a few LEDs and switches you're halfway there already.

spuddo Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi Guys , thanks for all the replies , i no doubt will need more help as my old head is still in the past , what with all the Moogs ,ARPs that surround me. I am a dab hand with a soldering iron-----ahh the smell of flux in the morning ,but as i say i'll need help with all this software etc , and of course all the acronyms---that like an alien language. Someone suggested my grandaughter would find this a walk in the park---i should ask her. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Software side is very easy, everything goes across MIDI over USB and the chips can be flashed without any extra programmers etc. http://www.ucapps.de/mios32_download.html It's then a simple process of choosing the correct application and keeping up with TK's constant updates! You may also need an SD card PCB, these are currently not available from AVIShowtech (SmashTV/Tim) but can be found on eBay and Sparkfun.

spuddo Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi , latigid , right, software ah , prior to dipping my toes into the digital waters, software to me was womens undergarments-----we won't go into firmware. :shocked: Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I actually recommend you start with just a Core17 and familiarize yourself with MIOS and studio. Its an easy build and a good opportunity to learn to use the console and basic uploading of apps. Once you have your head around that, you can start adding the interesting stuff. The documentation looks a little daunting but once it all sinks in everything will come into focus quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
