Midinote out wierdness

[em978]

Ok thanks to the love of mr smashtv my new box is finally of the ground. Though there is this strange issue I have been having with both of my midiboxes. It seems that if I have the midinote out grouped to close together like 1-64 midinote numbers for 64 leds/button set(they the leds and buttons are grouped to the same note) .. that they sometimes randomly turn on leds that I've not called and need to be turned on and then turned off for the leds to turn off. I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with this.. it could be the usb midicontroller which is what is transfering the data to the box but, I have tried to different controllers and both had similar problems. I can say for certain that it isn't the software because, I have already tracked it's out put in another program and it is not sending any of the midinote data that is related to those leds.

Thanks and here is the new box evan!!!

This is a newer version of my midi interface that a posted about here around a month ago.Ok these aren't the best video but it will give at least an idea of the size and brightness of my new box. The issue I have is that I do not have a video cam.  anymore since I sold it to get the parts for this thing.( The video clips that are in this post are from my digital camera(picture)) I built a little reaktor patch to do the animating that is seen in the video. I'm might include some some of this kind of stuff in a different performance patch latter.

So, unless someone in the bay area wants to help make a video demo for this toy,

= )

this will be all that I can give you for awhile.

Basic Info about the box

Built under the ucapps midibox spec.

The buttons are from sparks electronics but, they do not directly work with the ucapps spec. I had to hack up the boards by scratching out connections and add connections in odd places. It wasn't impossible but it is kind of sketchy at parts.

Sounds like maybe you've got DOUT problems... I hate to say it but that birdsnest of cables may have something te do with it. Neat cabling isn't just cosmetic, it helps a clean signal.

Otherwise it's lookin good :) Did you make that case yourself?

the wiring does look really bad in the picture... but most of that is because all the cable from the all the din and dout are over 3 feet. I did this because it will far easier to access the wiring on the back of the buttons. The other boxes wiring is a lot shorter. The real weried thing about all of this is that is sometimes happens and sometimes not. But as soon as i switch around some of the midinote values the problem goes away. So, it makes me believe it might be something else...
