With the latest MB64E app it is possible to use pots/faders. Good luck

[Lide]

Hi all,

i´m really going into the end-phase of building my mb64+mb64e midibox for live. i decided  to build 2 cores (1 for mb64 and 1 for mb64e).

i´ll post the design as soon as i have my frontpanel and mounted everything together.

so long i have only one problem with the pot range (see this thread: http://www.midibox.o...hp?topic=5593.0 )

If anyone could help me with that issue, i would be really grateful

Hi out there! Here you finally can get a picture of my new live-controller!




Works fine so far. So I want to thand all guys helping me to get along with this! THX!!!


There is one Problem left with my MB:

sometimes i press a button and LIVE does not respond on it and i have to push a second or maybe more times. It seems to be irregular.  Could this be because i set the debounce counter to 0?

And an additional question:

Now that i have configured all my pot and button modes, is it possible to change the change the code, upload the new syx file without losing that configuration?

Could be. Every mechanic switch bounces. So try some higher values. If it's always the same button it could be also a bad solder joint.

1. Store your setup to a bankstick.
OR
2. Make a SysEx dump and store the dump via MidiOX. After codechange just do a sysEx upload again.

so when i change the debounce counter value it won´t be overwritten from the new syx upload?

Look at the MB Sysexloader (http://www.ucapps.de...loader_18f.html). If you choose as filetype MB64EPatch, only the patch will be overwritten and not the program memory.

But I would prefer the Bankstick solution. It's really cool if you can switch several configurations via the LCD menue.

When i store a sysex-dump with vmidibox, change the code and upload it, and then upload the sysex stored before, will this overwrite the changed debounce settings?

No, the debounce setting is hardcoded and won't be overwritten by reloading your dump.

thanx. tried it and seems to be cool now.  8)

i´m a happy midibox owner now...    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[raphael]

Nice to hear ;D 8) ;D

[Lide]

yes.  ;D  8)

last weekend i did a jam session with my friend. The performance with this midibox is fine.

Here is an additional picture of the inside of my midibox:



Indeed there are more cables i expected. But i just managed it that there is no wasted space inside  ;)

Hey Lide, what kind of case is that? It looks modular?

[Lide]

I did the case-design my own. The frontpanel (where the knobs/faders/buttons are mounted) and the backpanel (where the pcbs are mounted) i designed with frontplattendesigner and ordered from schaeffer-ag.

The sidepanels are milled out of standard alumina-profiles such as sold by maytec or bosch rexroth.

The panels are mounted together with brackets i made myself (simply alumina plates which are bent). You can see them mounted to the side-panel in the picture above.

This work is well done with a AutoCAD Mechanical Desktop, which I use at work for constructions.  8)

well it looks beautiful.  :) I like interfaces with loads of buttons and compact design!  :)

[Lide]

Thanks for that.

In the meantime I had my first live-gig with this box and it worked fine!

;D ;D ;D ;D

hope this box works a long time... cannot imagine working without it on ableton live anymore.

Vestax VCM 600 was based on this?
