got it :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Strange - does it work when you are sending the mail via the messenger? Best Regards, Thorsten.

There are only 20 GM5 chips in stock anymore. If you joined the GM5x5x5 bulk order, but haven't ordered the required GM5 chips yet,please do this now! Sold Out! Best Regards, Thorsten.

Only portions of the code have to be re-written, mainly MIOS_* functions have to be mapped to MIOS32_*. I can do this... sooner or later... but currently my focus is on MBSID V3 :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thats strange, but interesting! It could explain, why Buhler doesn't get output on Channel #3 and #4 as well. To ensure that this is no SW issue, I doublechecked this with the latest MIOS V1.9g and MBFM v1.1d release - still works (when an instrument is assigned to Channel #3 and/or #4) Combined with the first issue: what happens when you store this setting in the default ensemble, and power cycle the MIDIbox? Change the ADSR settings, especially Attack (should be low) and Sustain (should be high) Also the modulation mode ("Con." setting in INS page) affects the way how operator 3/4 affect the sound - see also the pictures in the User manual. Best Regards, Thorsten.

A new "Happy new year to all MBSEQ V4 users" release is available! :) Gridracer: this issue should be fixed now in Beta15 Additional features: o Track sections which should be played can now be selected via MIDI Keyboard as demonstrated in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_RQL24j8no Each group (G1/2/3/4) has a separate selection zone on the keyboard. Key C..B select section 1..12, the first key of the octave (C) plays the first section as usual, it has the same effect as if this feature is disabled. The width of a section depends on the track length. E.g., if the track length is set to 32, and if it consists of 256 steps, 8 sections are available which can be selected with Key C/C#/D/D#/E/F#/F/F#/G It is recommented to activate the "Follow" function under UTILITY->OPTIONS when using this feature, so that the edit display gets automatically updated whenever the section is changed. o the MIDI configuration page has been overworked to handle the new parameters. Track sections can be selected from a dedicated MIDI Port and Channel. The keyboard zone assigned to the group can be changed, so that it's possible to merge groups (e.g. all 4 groups controlled from a single octave). o an individual section can be selected for each track in the StepView. Press & Hold StepView + SELECT button, then press the GP button of the appr. section. This feature is also nice for editing large tracks! o implemented CC#123 (All Notes Off) - it empties the note stacks if value 0 is received. Values > 0 will be ignored [/code] I guess that you will especially like the "section" feature since it has been requested multiple times in the past. For a quick try, press & hold StepView + SELECT button and select a new step view. To control this from a MIDI keyboard (the method that I prefer during live playing), configure the MIDI settings under MIDI->Section Control, and play some keys on your keyboard. Sections will also be selectable via BLM4x16 and BLM16x16 in future (probably already with Beta16) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hallo Wolfgang, evtl. optimiert Logic den MIDI Stream, indem es Note-Off Events nach Note-On mit Velocity 0 umwandelt, was nach der MIDI Spec gleichbedeutend ist. Du kannst das mit der "Spy on Outputs" Funktion des Snoize MIDI Monitors ueberpruefen: http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/ Wenn nun Dein Synthesizer mit dieser Umwandlung nicht zurecht kommt (was aber eigentlich unwahrscheinlich ist), waere das zumindest eine "logic"he Erklaerung. Falls der MIDI Monitor weder Note On mit Velocity 0, noch Note Off events anzeigt, liegt das Problem eher an Logic. Du koenntest die MIDI Daten ja auch mal an einen virtuellen Synthesizer senden, so wie diesem hier: http://notahat.com/simplesynth/ Gruss, Thorsten.

Thats really strange - I suppose an electrical issue or wrong documentation which is hard to solve remotely. To troubleshoot this by yourself, you could control the matrix manually - I will take the terms of my schematic as reference: Connect R0-R7 to the DIN module, connect C0 to ground, let C1..C7 unconnected. Now the buttons of C0 column should trigger a note, all others shouldn't generate a event. Now connect C1..C7 to +5V and repeat - nothing should change (and this should especially not cause a short circuit) Repeat with only C1, C2, ... C7 connected to ground, all other columns even unconnected or to +5V (shouldn't cause a difference) Results? Best Regards, Thorsten.

Great that you got the DIN/DOUT issue fixed! Yes, due to the memory limitations of PIC18F452 only the first four tracks can be edited on MBSEQ V2. And yes, with MBSEQ V3 running on a PIC18F4620 all 16 tracks can be edited in RAM :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Ich werde am Wochenende eine Reichelt Bestellung aufsetzen, die Diode kann ich dann gleich mitbestellen - Deine Adresse habe ich ja noch ;) Gruss, Thorsten.

It seems that the wrong code is selected by default which was inserted by Jim for scanning a Panasonic keyboard. Could you please try the application with the #if switch in SM_NotifyToggle set to 1? No problem, just swap again. As stated in this schematic: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_scan_matrix1.pdf rows/columns have to be swapped if the cathodes of your hardware are connected together. In the software, SM_SWAP_CR has to be set to 1 (so, a second change is required in sm_fast.inc) Are the cathodes or anodes connected together on your keyboard? Best Regards, Thorsten. P.S.: I uploaded an updated version where the right decoding is selected: sm_example2_v1d.zip under http://www.ucapps.de/mios_download.html Press the refresh button of your webbrowser if you see the previous version.

Ok, seems that I can't help you - I'm out. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Jilt, welcome back! I remember that our last conversation was in 2001! :) There is a big problem with the "internal DAC" channels of STM32: the output is located at the same pins which are used for SD Card accesses, and there is no alternative pin mapping. Therefore unfortunately these channels cannot be supported by the MBSEQ V4 application. If this restriction wouldn't exist, you could amplify the outputs with the same OP Amp circuit as used by the MBHP_AOUT_LC module: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_aout_lc.html So, you will need one of the MBHP_AOUT* modules. AOUT_NG is the most preferable solution, AOUT_LC the cheapest, and the original AOUT if you don't like SMD soldering (but it's more expensive) Gate/Trigger pins at J5 can be shifted to 5V with a 74HC541 buffer IC, see this datasheet: http://www.standardics.nxp.com/products/hc/datasheet/74hc541.74hct541.pdf Pin 1 and 19: OE# connected to ground Pin 10: to ground as well Pin 20: to 5V Pin 2..9 are the inputs Pin 11..18 are the outputs Best Regards, Thorsten.

Phil, we need a mutex for posting replies ;) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Not required, you can order the 3 x DINX4 and 1 x DOUTX4 module directly from SmashTV - they are better quality anyhow. In this case you would have to order 4 x MBHP_IIC_MIDI modules yes Where are you located? You could also oder the LCDs from a mailorder company, together with buttons/LEDs and other stuff I would order the momentary push buttons from a mailorder company to save money Can only be perfectly answered if we know where you are living Alternatively you could order them from Voti, the order number is given here: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq_manual_hw.html yes Where did you found a reference to BankSticks for V4? They have been replaced by a SD Card, see also complete part list of the V4 project: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq_manual_hw.html Available in each supermarket, see also "Ultra Low Cost Adapter" here: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_sdcard.html Best Regards, Thorsten.

Here are some DIY instructions: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Most-Useless-Machine/

Great! :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Several features of the MBHP_CORE_STM32 module are missing, like 5V->3.3V voltage converters, USB socket, MIDI sockets, LCD voltage converter, etc. Why do you think that this is a good replacement? What are you planning to do exactly with the STM32? Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Kris, thats strange! RC should toggle for ca. 1 uS each millisecond SI should toggle depending on the button states if RC captures the button inputs. No, there shouldn't be a compatibility problem. You can verify this by uploading the MIDIO128 application. More troubleshooting tips related to the DIN module can be found here (search for "Testing"): http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=home:mbhp:module:din Best Regards, Thorsten.

Yes, please! :) Than more than better Best Regards, Thorsten.

I've a deja vu... we had this discussion some time ago: Wilba wrote the conclusion at the end of this article - it's still valid. So, if you only want to save shipping costs (because you won't get the PCBs/kits cheaper if you run a bulk order, SmashTV already offers best prices), then search for people to join the order in *your country* to share the international shipping costs (US $30), and to reduce local shipping costs. Best Regards, Thorsten.

You can edit this on the Sammich as well. :) This is an old tutorial that I wrote for V1, it's only a subset of V2 but KEY1/2/3/4 was already available: http://www.ucapps.de/howto_sid_wavetables_3.html Instead of using "Goto" you have to set the loop parameter, and the CC assignments are different (Par#252/253/254/255 instead of CC#9/10/11) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Alright - this is what you can do with the WT sequencer :) See the WT patterns of "A064 ARPSEQ One" upwards Best Regards, Thorsten.
