jagzik Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi, I know that maybe this is a just done question but, i don't understand well: I have a seq v4l, i want to upgrade to the seq v4, so i have the core from seqv4l i need the other parts and on the ucapps site point to the wilba pcb...but i can use the seq v3 control parts for the control surface ? there's a tutorial or something for do this ? This because i have some parts and kit from a not started midibox controller so i have some ain dout...module and maybe i can use this ? ....and i know that for a wilba pcb i have to wait. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, it is totally possible to build a SEQv4 from individual modules. There is a bit of relevant info here as well as here. Also, have a look at the config file that is used to tell the core what hardware is used - you will get an idea of the many options you have.

jagzik Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ok, thank you i figured out, so i can order from mike shop the 3Xdinx4 and 1Xdoutx4 pcb or try to made my pcb, then all the parts that i can found in my city shop, the lcds and then start to build it ? ...and of course the case.

ilmenator Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes. However, you will spend considerably more time building this when using individual boards, and you will obviously have more sources of potential problems in getting your SEQv4 up and running. I am not sure when the PCBs will be available again in Tim's (aka SmashTV) shop, but why not just send him an email and ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Yes, you can reuse "old" MIDIbox parts, such as DOUT modules - have a look at my photo tutorial for a custom SEQ V4 build - it takes considerably more time, as ilmenator writes, but it is also a rewarding process, as you learn more about MIDIboxes, electronics, how to handle huge amounts of wires etc :-) Have a great time!

EsotericLabs Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) I tried to build a hand wired control surface for the SEQ on vero board with a DIO matrix and two DIN iirc. I used the matrix configuration and it was a long and lousy though educative job to me. Hawkeye is right: a HUGE amount of wires.. I got it working at a 95% level, (pretty good considering my skill level) but not far enough to work with it comfortably. So I ended up ordering Smashes / wilba's cs pcb in the end.. I also want to build the SID but did not hesitate a sec and got those pcb's as well. I am not yet up to the more complex custom control surfaces, the SCS for the midio128 is much easier. Personal experience only of course. Edited January 11, 2014 by EsotericLabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
