Dolphinicus Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hey all - I'm getting ready to order the final modules that I'll need, to use my MIDIbox SEQ MAINLY for CV / Gate outputs for my modular.Looking through the data that I've been able to find here at the site as well as for available modules from SmashTV's site, I have a couple of questions:In looking at the Core outputs - I hadn't seen any CV or Gate Outs ......Looking at the AOut LC (preferring not to use the Maxim DAC one, at $25 each. :o ), seeing support for 2 CV Outputs per module - but no Gate Outputs listed ...... my original thought this morning, were to go for 4 of the boards, to give me 8 CV Outs along with 8 Gates but ......Could someone help to straighten out my noobieness in this regard? I don't think I'd be using an AOut LC as a single CV + Gate, would I? I'd read about the core setup having the ability to spit out 2 Gates and 8 CVs, but checking the output terminal listings, I didn't see any listings FOR that ...... ?I'm going to be sending in my order to SmashTV tomorrow, for the last things that I'll need for this. One board that I do not see listed at his site though, is the AOut LC. I'm ok at laying out the PCB by myself for each of them that I may need - but if I could order premade PCBs, I'd much rather do that. :)Finally - I know what I need to complete the rest of the standard MIDIbox SEQ system (as far as DIn and DOut modules goes); rotary encoderes / etc. My only remaining question is what I need / where to get from, the modules for spitting out 8 pairs of CV / Gate. (This is of course presuming - that the sequencer code already existing, can be applied to CV / Gate outputs as well as MIDI channels).Thanks for any possible help here! :) I'd rather, stay away from sending MIDI to my Roland MPU-101 4 channel MIDI to CV interface, for my modular synth. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi,as trigger outputs you can optionally use the 8 pins of J5 - this option has to be enabled within the setup_*.asm fileNote that the AOUT_LC module is not supported by MBSEQ V2, it requires MBSEQ V3 (-> PIC18F4620, MBHP_IIC_MIDI module)Best Regards, Thorsten.

I've been browsing the code, learning / becoming used to things. :)THANK YOU for explaining the lack in MBSEQ V2! I'll continue finishing the unit then, as V2.x exists and use my MPU-101 for the moment and get used to the entire system. I'll either build a new system later for the V3 functionalities, or update this one, with the new processor and grab an MBHP_IIC_MIDI module. :)Thanks for your help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
