Nah, this looks way cooler..A back view.. you can see the midi ports.. the power input.. and the on off button..Thats it for now..Next up will be the C64 Reprise.. i want to put in some diodes so i dont have ghosting on my keys..also i wouldnt mind getting nominated for Mbox of the week :D cuz actual construction time was about a week. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 if im not in the right part of the forum.. ...Mbox of the week :D There it is man. This is cool, very original. I can move this to the midibox of the week forum if you like, or we can leave it here and you can post a link there, whatever you want. If you'd like to keep it here you should document it in http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=user_projects first though :)Hey, if you sit it on that can then you've got yourself a magic mushroom hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 That looks interesting, and idea for mushroom is even cooler especially if you are into psychedelic trance, but in that case you need to add some heavy base to support it.And don`t forget to put the labels on ...stryd loves them ;DGood work!

MTE Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I love the blue metallic colour...but where are the labels ?? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ah damn!!! Sorry AC I deleted your post by accident!! I'm clearly not accustomed to having a "Remove" button next to the reply button :-[Nice one, Wisefire. It reminded me a bit on this one, have you seen that?I wonder if I missed something about the labels? SmileyI love spheric designs very much, but I asked myself indeed how you'd find the right knob to turn... but apparently, when there are mushrooms involved it may be part of the concept to be surprised by the changement of sound, right? Grin GrinIf you don't mind, I'd move it, too, to the midibox of the week section, 'cause apparently it's running an (unmodified) mb64e, right?Cheers,MichaelYeh the labels thing is everyone (including myself) taking the mickey out of my all-too-often-used comment that "it needs labels" hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 hehehe... (too much subclocks running, eh?) ;Dno worries, moderator mate :-* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 yea stryd why exactly does every thing need labels is it because you cant remember which knob does what nice globe love the metalic blue regards kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisefire Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 There it is man. This is cool, very original.Thnx :DI can move this to the midibox of the week forum if you like, or we can leave it here and you can post a link there, whatever you want. If you'd like to keep it here you should document it in http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=user_projects first though :)i think TK should decide if im worthy enough to be midiboxoftheweeked, as for documenting it in wiki|userprojects, i dont know, its not as if i did anything revolutionary.. just built a custom interface thats imho nice looking.. ok, i modified the programming a bit aswell, but only cuz one of the buttons isnt a normally on button like the rest is..so basically its just the ain64_din128_dout128 V2.0 example C program.. i dont mind explaining how i build it.. but i cant add anything, that isnt already documented by TK. if there is a better place for this (maybe midibox HUIs forum) go ahead and move it there.Hey, if you sit it on that can then you've got yourself a magic mushroom hehehehethere ya go :DAs for labels.. 4 reasons,1. dont need them.. its not easy to get lost when there are only 8 pots and 5 buttons.2. hard to put on a round surface. unless i use a marker pen.3. decreases the aesthetic value.4. its a midicontroller the knobs arent going to do/be one thing.. that'll vary.the main programming for this, is going to be in MAX/MSP that is where the sounds will come from.

stryd_one Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 i think TK should decide if im worthy enough to be midiboxoftheweeked, yeh well TK isn't here so while the cat's away, the mice shall play hahahaha ;D Edit: That was definitely a joke, please move this around as necessary.as for documenting it in wiki|userprojects, i dont know, its not as if i did anything revolutionary.. Hmm It's an interesting subject... What defines a user project exactly? I mean the vX is based on the clockbox, but only retains like two functions from the original... Moogah's DrumSEQ is going to be a cutdown MBSeq... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hmm It's an interesting subject... What defines a user project exactly?A user project is a new application that has some other purpose than one of the existing projects. Because a different application requires different controls' date=' it will be really different in the end.But anyhow, I belive this controller would fit perfectly in the midibox of the week section and I can't see no reason why it shouldn't be there: it's a very nice interface and I believe it's perfectly okay for TK if we move it [s']there here...it's really nice to see how everyone of us fresh moderators are freaking out once there's a real moderation job to do ;DEdit: hehe, stryd: you're a good moderator ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I'm a gutless mod is what I am. I wouldn't have moved it without you saying something... Although it's certainly worthy of midibox of the week. Are there any other new ones this week? I have a fever and can barely remember my name!

TheAncientOne Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Lovely job Wisefire.Fuinnily enough, I used some of the big Ikea bowls for a project last year: light reflectors for a Fortuny style bounce light. I was going to write to Mr Ike or whatever he's called and demand they made bigger ones with a more elliptical profile.....They were for my friend the photographer and of course due to that particular form of Murphy's law, we never got a picture of them.....Looks well cool - a nice job, and definitely deserves it's 'Box of the week' , or even 'hemisphere of the week'.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
