k4d4w3r Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Hi.. For some time already pcbs for v4 seq aren't available from smashTV, i've tried to contact him via email and contact form several time but never got any reply. Could someone advise me on a good way to start that project? I mean the only option is to stick with v3 this days? Thanks in advance:) Quote
Hawkeye Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Tim aka SmashTv will restock them later on in the shop. Stay tuned! :-) Many greets, Peter Quote
k4d4w3r Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Posted September 28, 2014 I hope this will be soon enough, thanks for the info. And what abot the core? Whats the most current one to use? New STM32? Quote
Hawkeye Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Go for STM32F4, yes! This will enable you to upgrade to the SEQV4+, when it is ready. All MIDIbox admins have day time jobs (TK, SmashTV, ...). All they are doing for us is a big gift, so best to stay chilled all the time - best things take time! :) Many greets, Peter Quote
k4d4w3r Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks Peter. So it seems that it'll a good way to start first to solder core and addons and wait fo Cs. Thanks again! Quote
Hawkeye Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) No problem! :smile: Yes, starting with the core is a good plan - here is the updated documentation: http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core_stm32f4.html You can also already order two 2x 40 character displays and install the MBSEQ app on the core and test it in MIOS Studio. All of that will take some time anyways, so it can be done now. Many greets, Peter Edited September 28, 2014 by Hawkeye Quote
k4d4w3r Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) BTW.... Is it possible with STM32F4 core to use single midi in|out module with addition of quad2c midi module to get 2 midi ins and 6 (or even more?) midi outs? I mean I won't need more then 2 midi ins anyway... but more midiouts is better not to use any kind of midi router. Didn't find info on this topic. Edited September 29, 2014 by k4d4w3r Quote
Hawkeye Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Yes, that is possible, you can connect the quad midi iic board to the J4A IIC port and still use one MBHP_MIDI_IO module to gain two base MIDI INs/OUTs (connect this board to J11E). (I´ve 3 base MIDI outs on an old STM32 board SEQV4, and 4 IIC outs, it is great, so many MIDI cables! :-)) Many greets, Peter Edited September 29, 2014 by Hawkeye 1 Quote
k4d4w3r Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Posted September 29, 2014 And thanks again Peter :) Thats just wonderful to have a guide! Quote
ASKII Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks Peter for the answer (and k4d4w3r for the question) - was just about to ask this myself :) A 1 Quote
Mo0kid Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Complete midibox seq newb here. Thanks for the heads up. Will keep stalking the store and gathering supplies in the mean time! :D Quote
k-rAd MB6401 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 Waiting for seq v4 pcb to show up on smash tv again..... any word? Quote
k4d4w3r Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 I've sent several messages through different sources but no reply at all. Quote
Hawkeye Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Give him some time - Tim/SmashTV has been very busy last time i talked to him... In case you want to go hardcore DIY, you can always build the SEQ frontpanel on veroboard! :-) But of course, I also hope, that the CS PCB is stocked in his shop again, soon. Many greets, Peter Edited October 16, 2014 by Hawkeye Quote
k4d4w3r Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 I need his answer anyway, because my country is not in a list of possible shipment and payment via paypal, so even to order other PCB's or kits i need to discuss this matters with him. Quote
Hawkeye Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 Understood - i just facebook messaged him asking for a status update. Please kindly note, that his service is a volunarily one, where he earns next-to-nothing - so... stay calm :) Anyways, have a great day! Bye, Peter Quote
k4d4w3r Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 I've messaged through FB group several month ago... in March... when those boards were still available. And I do undestand his great work for comunity. :) And I'm calm as Ice :) Quote
Hawkeye Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 All is well, then :-) If you have shipping trouble to Belarus, maybe someone from Europe can help you out... once the boards are available again! :-) Many greets! Peter Quote
Altitude Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 Just talked to him, new batch will be available shortly (1-2 weeks) 1 Quote
k4d4w3r Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 Still need to know how to order 1 for my coutry:-D so i hope for an answer anyway:) but great news! Quote
k-rAd MB6401 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Also will the AOUT PCB be comming back? Or do we have to go with the AOUT_NG? Nevermind that. Found the aout at mikes midi shop. Edited October 17, 2014 by k-rAd MB6401 Quote
Altitude Posted October 17, 2014 Report Posted October 17, 2014 smash never had an Aout available, that was a DIY board only Quote
