Wild_Weasel Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi folks!Finished my MB footcontroller yesterday.Nothing fancy here. Just a core (without the midi-in section and the display pots and stuff) and a DIN module cut in half so that it will only fit one shift register.The case is from ebay and was originally used to controll a DMX light thingy, electrically very simple with a kind of resistor network and some diodes and only 2 cables leading out.But.. made from sheet metal and therfore very rigid.My task was to fit the 2 PCBs, a midi socket and a led. Also wrote a very very tiny C program because I couldn't upload the MB64 app.It will be used to control ableton live; for example the scene change and stop/ play/ record/ overdub.And here for the part most of you were waiting for... http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0327352/midibox/midi%20pedal/ Please feel free to transfer to the midibox of the week section ;D ;D ;DKind regardsMichael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Very nice! Sooner or later I will build a footcontroller as well, because it can become very handy, when one hand is tweaking on MBSEQ, the other on MBSID knobs :)Time to hunt for a case @ ebayBest Regards, Thorsten.

dcer10 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I like anything with blue LEDs :}Got me thinking too, I have four limbs.. May as well use them all!Great work, what was the case previously? All the best,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Weasel Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks to all!The case was a foot controller for a light effect machine made by j.collins. Though I think that company doesn't exist anymore.What I found out during the build: The oscilator also works with 22pF caps and also the caps around the 7805 are also not very sensitive for examlple is used a 220nf in place of a 330nFMios and the app where uploaded on another core since this one doesn't sport a midi-in optocoupler and socket.CheersMichael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Very nice! Sooner or later I will build a footcontroller as well, because it can become very handy, when one hand is tweaking on MBSEQ, the other on MBSID knobsDon't panic! After that you still have left your mouse, your nose and your ears for programming in MIOS while playing with the sequenzer ! ;DgreetsDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Nice looking footcontroller. I`ve always wanted to make one but curently I really dont need it since I have more hands than gear to controll :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
