LO Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 1 AINX4 = 32 inputs with rotary pots or faders - so yes you need this1 DINX4 = 32 push buttons - also need this if you want buttons1 DOUTX4 = leds - not needed but helpful for button status & looks [glow=red,2,300]cool[/glow]1 LTC = com port interface - not normally needed core board has built in midi connections1 CORE = youll be wanting this one 1 LCD = optional but I would recommend itwatch out tho this stuff is very addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drummond Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Thanks for the answer. I included the LTC because I thought it would be necessary for using banksticks. It isn't, right? Are bancksticks connected directly do the CORE? I'm planning on ordering throught Chris' site, because here in Brazil I'm having a hard time to find the parts, specially the PIC.Another question: I understood that if I use motorfaders, I can only have 8 of them and I can't have anymore pots or knobs. I'd also need one extra board for this to work. Is this correct?Thanks for helping a novice!Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LO Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 nah banksticks plug direct in to core boardYeah the Motor fader module is like a seperate project it requires a core and a motorfader board for every 8 faderseg I have one core, LTC, DIN, DOUT,AIN etc for my main midi controller then a further Core, DIN & motor fader boards for my 8 motor fadersThe core must run seperate firmware to use motorfadershope this makes sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drummond Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Ok, I got it. So to have 8 motor-faders plus 8 knobs and 32 buttons I'd need 2 cores, each one with a different firmware. One firmware to the knobs and buttons and the second to the motor-faders. Well, I'll build it with no motor faders. Too expensive for me right now! Soon I'll have more questions!Thanks!Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LO Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Just go for non motorised Slide pots, not quite as cool but still very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
