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!

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

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.

Regards

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.

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.

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.

Software side is very easy, everything goes across MIDI over USB and the chips can be flashed without any extra programmers etc.

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.

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.
