Antichambre Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 Genial! It will help a lot! More than the Seq parts which are used here, this video contains a lot of tips and tricks! Great! Quote
shimoda Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Cant wait for this to be ready! Great video! Edited July 28, 2018 by shimoda Quote
Smithy Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 Finished the Hot Air Soldering for SMD Components video today, for those who might want an easier alternative to drag soldering SMT components, or who are just not confident or comfortable with it. Its a bit rough around the edges but any feedback is appreciated. When soldering the resistors theres a nasty shadow and I probably won't rerecord it but hopefully it helps people. 3 Quote
latigid on Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Posted July 28, 2018 Really nice alternative method, thanks for the effort! 1 Quote
jojjelito Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 Awesome videos! This is going to be a fun build once I get my paws on one of those. Both the build video and the SMT video are useful. IDK why people are afraid of SMT so anything that minimizes this anxiety is good Well done! Quote
Hawkeye Posted July 29, 2018 Report Posted July 29, 2018 Really great job on the SMT hot air soldering tutorial, Smithy - this is indeed a really nice and inexpensive alternative to the classic fine-tip soldering approach! Also, thank you all very much for the praise of the first part of the build video tutorial! Will start with the second (and final) part of the tutorial, once the release version case and the final UI PCBs are in! :) Many greets, Peter Quote

The breakaway option and microMatch headers were incorporated! Quote

Your "v1.0 wCore boards" have already allowed me to do a lot of things, it's up to me to thank you! 10 minutes ago, latigid on said: The breakaway option and microMatch headers were incorporated! I will refresh the devPlate design once the shop is open ;) Ahahh micromatch type, good choice here! This two boards deserved a strong and durable link cable Great! :) Edited July 29, 2018 by Antichambre Quote
Blatboy Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 This is great! And I just finished my SEQ 4. Go figure. hahah. Maybe I'll be a little better at SMD in general (which is great for fixing caps on early 90's gear) for doing this... :) Quote
pat_00 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 So interested in this! I assume CV outs will be an option? Quote

Are you planning an "Analog Expansion Box" with CV/Gate/Triggers/Clocks in the same design? On 7/11/2018 at 5:52 PM, latigid on said: There's a line driver DB-25 port, so all expansions are external. E.g. Altitude's AOUT, I will probably do one as well or remix my current design Quote

Hawkeye Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 @Phatline: midiphy is the name for the euro MIDIbox shop, officially blessed by TK. :). The shop might also stock up other quality MIDIbox user projects, like Bruno's awesome MBTIA. The focus is on quality over quantity, so we won't stock everything there is, but we want to document everything, that is stocked in the shop as thoroughly as possible, so that it becomes viable for MIDIbox beginners to build. @AntichambreThanks, Bruno! Still working on the shop, but we should be able to send out the first core-based PCBs in August (basically all PCBs that were covered in the first tutorial). Enjoy the summertime! :) Many greets, Peter Quote
Phatline Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) midiphy: definitivly pushes (up) the idea of userprojects... nieceee. ( the blow into a glowing userproject-nest, to get a wide seen lighting fire ) Edited August 1, 2018 by Phatline Quote

There will be just some basic and obvious rules to respect which we had a little talk ... as for example: good documentation must be provided to be marketed, the creator is responsible for the support of his project..( and logic stuff like that...) Quote
tehsparx Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Happy August! Just checking in, like... every day :D Hows the store front and documentation/awesome videos coming along? Also, sorry if this has been asked earlier but will Midiphy be available in the US, or should people in that region continue to order from modularaddict? Quote
Hawkeye Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks for your interest! Happy August! Time flies, when there is a lot to do! :) We are working on it! While orders are not yet being accepted (stocklevel is virtually set to 0, even if nearly everything is in stock), you can already check out a preview of the new shop at midiphy.com - there are very few items yet visible, and we will add more items and documentation in the coming weeks. We hopefully can start selling the PCBs mentioned in the video tutorial quite soon (they are validated and working), but we need to test-build and validate the new/changed PCBs, before we can sell them. Yes, John from MA stated, that he wanted to resell all boards! Probably, shipping will be quite a bit cheaper, when you directly order from him in the states! As far as the last discussion went, he might not stock every "essential" part, just the PCBs. A good thing is, Andy worked hard and we have the next PCB fab run inbound, so all new/altered PCBs should arrive in the next two weeks or so. Yaaay! :) If they work out, all V4+ PCBs should be final and be in stock in hopefully sufficient quantity! Many greets, Peter Quote
HybrisBehemoth Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 Really looking forward to building this. Thankful for the great effort of everyone involved in the project! I might have missed this while reading the threads, but is there a Mouser BOM so that I can order the components needed. I want to be ready when I finally get my hands on the PCBs. :) Quote
latigid on Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Posted August 12, 2018 There will be Mouser BOMs available but they're still being finalised. Don't worry, Mouser ships very quickly! Quote
Hawkeye Posted August 18, 2018 Report Posted August 18, 2018 Today, on 18.8.18, not even 30 minutes to midnight, finally: the shop is online! :) https://www.midiphy.com We wanted to launch it today, because it is a nice date and is easily remembered! :) There might be some stock shortages, a few remaining shop system "rough corners" and not all is yet online, but it should work for now :). We've also packaged a "kit" containing all the PCBs and "hard-to-get" parts referenced in the first video tutorial at a special price, so you can now haz all parts as referenced in the first video tutorial :) Builders/owners of early SEQv4+ versions can now get access to the OLEDs, Matias switches, Matias switchcaps, the high-performance superflux LEDs, the recommended encoder knobs and the datawheel, if you are impatient. We will stock up everything that is sold out, so you could also wait until everything (including the new UI PCBs and Adrians case) is finally in stock. No hurries! As a remark, the next PCB shipment is rolling in (it arrived already in Germany), that should contain the final SEQ UI boards (LeMEC, and the new JA board) and we hope to verify these PCBs soon, so that they can be sold, too. No big news on the case front as of yet, Adrian is working on it. Enjoy! Many greets, Peter Quote
