terrorizt Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi,I want to build a Midibox Sequencer, and i'm just wondering if I got everything right to order. First i ran throught the Hardware-Questions listed on http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq_options.htmlThen i wrote down what i need. Hope someone of you cann tell me if i got everything right. --Pots or Encoders?Pots, because I've 64 laying around here somewhere *g*--How many buttons?44 as on mbseq Vintage----------------------16 for the steps04 All, Layer A,B,C04 Left, Right, Select, Exit04 Track 1-404 Solo, Menu, Stop, Play04 Metronome, Forward, Rewind, Pause04 Edit, Mute, Pattern, Song04 F1, F2, F3, F4Question1???? Seem to be useles with Pots? 02 Scrub, fast and J5? ?? Does That mean I could add another 16 buttons, and use them to ? send Midisignals (Like Pattern mute and unmute for my MC303 ? perhaps?)???--How many LEDs?79 (with Beat Indicator)------------------------16 Buttons48 aditional for the other parts03 Layer A, B, C01 Beat Indicator04 Track 1-402 All, Fast02 Solo, Mute03 Edit, Song, Pattern-- Which display size?2 2x40 LCD, since there is no way to display the Data on 4 2x20 LCD or even 16 2x4Question2???? Does anyone know round displays? I want to have the Displays ? like a Circle. The best Solution for me would be 16 2x4 Displays ? ;-)? But a round display would also work. Has anyone seen something ? like this? Or is it possible to use four 2x20 displays perhaps?? ???--Left/Right button or Datawheel?Left/Right button--Banksticks2 Bankstick should work.

TK. Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi,can you please write your questions in a more readable form, because I'm not able to find out which buttons should be useless with pots, and if you already know that only two displays can be connected to the core module or not... (resp. which displays are supported by the firmware)To the part list: maybe somebody else can check this?Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrorizt Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Oh, yes, no problem. My first question:Is it possible to connect another 16 buttons to the Box? There are some pins unused in the Layout. I would like to use them as mute/unmute Buttons for my MC 303. The three buttons which seem to be useless if i use Pots instead of encoders are labeled scrub, fast and j5. I don't know what they are used for.Second one:I think i know the answer. Am i able to use 4 2x20 Displays instead of 2 2x40 Displays? they should display the same data's, but i need them as much as possible :)The Partlist is copied from your site, should be no problem. The question is if there is something missingWhat i have whitten down here:1 Core Module3 Din Modules1 Dout Module2 or 4 LCD2 Banksticks44 or 64 Buttons79 LEDsVectorboards Powersupply...a lot of framework to do.Sorry, didn't think enough as i posted this post up there. It's really unreadable.terrorizt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogik Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 hey, for 79 leds (even with matrix) you'll probably have a few dout pins short so i would buy an extra 74HC595 and the resistors; make a doutx1 on vectorboardcheers, marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrorizt Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Okay, 2 Dout Modules ;DThanksterrorizt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrorizt Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I'm right now a bit confused. ???Do i need some Ain -Modules for my Pots? If not, where should i connect them to.Thanks in advanceterrorizt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi,yes, you need 2 AINX4 modules for the vintage option, they have to be connected in the same way like for MIDIbox64Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
