====== MB-ModulBox NG ======

{{ ::neonking:modulbox-logo.jpg?direct&600 |}}

// <wrap info> Under Heavy Developpment @ **9/8/2016** </wrap>//

===== Introduction =====

The MB-Modulbox-NG Project is a modern version of the **[[Modulbox]]** project  .
\\
In short words, it's a **Eurorack-size compliant Modular MIDIbox Control Surface ** based upon MB-NG.

From a **Main Part,small modules would be chained to Build the custom-sized control surface of your dreams by choosing the MIDI controls you want**. 

Main part would also allow **Access to Menus for configuring and saving things on SD Card** , and optionnal **External Analog Inputs/Outputs** __to trigger from external sensors and/or drive your analog synth__.

**Each Small Module will have a Different type of Interaction** and will include Digital Shift Registers and/or Multiplexers For Analog lines . Then modules would be chained one to another up to main part. 

Modules **Chain Connectors  will be 2.54mm dual row pinheader** (Molex?) and will carry Digital/Analog bus lines and Current supply. PSU Main input will be on main part PCB.

====Main Part Features ====

  - Core32 Board
  - **[[scs_module|Standard Control Surface]]** with 6 Tactile switches, Push - Encoder ,**[[OLED]]** Graphical screen
  - **[[sd_card_module|SD Card Slot]]** (+USB in?)
  - **[[midi_io_matrix_board_parts_list|2xMIDI IN + 2xMIDI OUT 2.5mm jack Plugs]]** 
  - **Optionnal 16x3.5mm jacks** for external **[[ainser64_board_parts_list|Analog Ins]]**/**[[aout_board_parts_list|Analog Outs]]** with External interfaces for expanding.

===== Architecture =====

{{ ::neonking:modulbox-ng-architecture.jpg?direct&800 |}}



==== Eurorack design ====

  * **Eurorack Design is 3U Height ** So frontpanel //=5,25"=133mm-rails=__**128,5mm**__// Height . \\ Sandwich Design is ok here due to non heating components and allow to spare space. 
  * **Modules Frontpanels are 8HP-multiple wide** //(8HP=__**40,3mm**__)// see //**[[http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100m_e.htm|Eurorack Specification]]**//. \\ Frontpanel back spacers glued with JB-weld to avoid front screwing. **{{::neonking:eurotemplates.pdf|Eurorack Templates PDF}}**\\
  * **PCB Size is 100mm height** To stay compliant to **//[[http://www.elma.com/en/services/us-resources/eurocard-specs/|Eurocard Specification]]//**

A **GUI** will be developped with JUCE Library to make your **MIDI mapping** upon your custom control interface and make your **custom infos display on OLED / CLCDs / LEDs Matrixes**. Upon a list of **Pre-made functions**,you would be able to connect a **MIDI mapping** to Controller / Sequencer / Other MIDIbox apps functions into the JUCE GUI
