mbseq v3 banksticks

What is the best or maximum for the banksticks?

Can i connect different chips on the bankstick pcb?

I know that the maximum would 8 x 512 = 512K, but for song data is only the max. 32k.

So is the following the maximum?

6x 24LC512 for pattern  and 2x 24LC256 for song and mixer?

Is´s posible to connect two or more bankstix pcb to the core?

So how many 24LCXXX should i order?

Many thx

currently yes. It could be, that I will provide an option for using 64k BankSticks for Songs (32 instead of 16 songs), it would be an easy change

Is´s posible to connect two or more bankstix pcb to the core?

yes, but the maximum number of IIC EEPROM devices is 8. They could be located at different PCBs, but each device needs a unique address on the IIC bus

So how many 24LCXXX should i order?

Just order 8 x 24LC512 (Mixer: only 32k are allocated, but you can use a 64k device which doesn't hurt)

thx for the fast reply.

i mean if it´s possible to switch mecanical between different bankstix pcbs?

Will the core recognize the switch?

So maybe its possible to have more memory.

Yes, this is possible. BankSticks can be changed on-the-fly during runtime (hot plugin)

TK. Does a setup of 8 banksticks affect adding the IIC module to J4 of the core? Will I be only able to install say 6 banksticks and 2 IIC modules?

you´ve asked that and been answered with an educated guess just two days ago. Why don´t you just try it out? You can´t damage anything.

Don't mean to repost seppoman. I unfortunately don't have alot of free time to study midibox and I though that posting this question here might be good for future midiboxers. I'll shut up and try it when I get the parts :)

8 BankSticks + 4 MBHP_IIC_MIDI modules connected to the same IIC bus are working fine
