MIDIbox SEQ V4 Beginner's Guide The Beginner's Guide is intended to cover the basic operation and concepts of the MBSEQv4 step sequencer. It does not include instructions on how to make the most out of all the features of the sequencer, or what each of the options on every menu page does, but it does give a good overview for the new user.

Preambule The problem is easy to understand: I wanted to drop my PC keyboard + mouse during live performance in order to be focused on music/sound/live. The only way to solve my problem was to use an hardware to control Ableton Live, but not only that, I need a feedback from it too.

This project has served my personal want to learn more about programming. So this is my first ever java application, without any formal training on the subject. It's buggy, cumbersome and lacks the finese of experienced programmers. But it makes working with PB a much more enjoyable experience.

Before you build: Choices and Comments If you have a multimeter or voltmeter, it will come in handy for testing the power supply. You have a LOT of choices with this project. I would not describe this as a beginners level, it is complicated by the use of surface mount components, having to stack the boards correctly, requiring a bipolar power supply, and mostly by the sheer number of options that have to be decided along the way. If you are not familiar with mixing boards, your choices get eve…

Software configuration Some software options must be made before compiling, others should be made after the application is loaded and running. These are the pre-compile options: The MIDIBox mixer supports named channels. You will find that reading “Yamaha MU90-R” is a lot more descriptive than “Channel Four”. These names are set in file “USER_LCD.inc”, beginning near line 101. You should find a group of sixteen lines that look something like this:

dielectric

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 09:35:01 +0000

A dielectric material is one that is a poor conductor of electricity, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields. If the flow of current between opposite electric charge poles is kept to a minimum while the electrostatic lines of flux are not impeded or interrupted, an electrostatic field can store energy. This property is useful in capacitors, especially at radio frequencies. Dielectric materials are also used in the construction of radio frequency transmission lines.

Describes any system based on discontinuous data or events. Computers are digital machines because at their most basic level they can distinguish between just two values, 0 and 1, or off and on. There is no simple way to represent all the values in between, such as 0.25. All data that a computer processes must be encoded digitally, as a series of zeroes and ones. The opposite of digital is analog. A typical analog device is a clock in which the hands move continuously around the face. Such a clo…

The diode is an electronic component that allows the passage of current in only one direction. They are solid state semiconductor devices and typically need more than 0.6 volts to operate. In a normal diode, current flows from the positive anode to the negative cathode. Early diodes were in reality, vacuum-tube rectifiers, consisting of an evacuated glass or steel envelope containing two electrodes—a cathode and an anode. Because electrons can flow in only one direction, from cathode to anode, t…

Solder What kind of solder should you use? If you live in one of the countries requiring adherence to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (“RoHS” pronounced roe-hass here in the States), you should buy non-lead solder. RoHS compliant solder requires higher temperatures to melt, so you'll need to get a hotter soldering iron and be careful to not overheat sensitive components. It's a good idea to buy sockets for as many components as you can to avoid heat-related damage. Since w…

A term describing how fast something repeats itself. For an oscillating or varying current, frequency is the number of complete cycles per second in alternating current (AC) direction. The standard unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). If a current completes one cycle per second, then the frequency is 1 Hz; 60 cycles per second equals 60 Hz (the standard alternating-current utility frequency in some countries, including the US). Larger units of frequency include the kilohertz (kHz) representing t…

A harmonic is a signal or wave whose frequency is an integral (whole-number) multiple of the frequency of some reference signal or wave. The term can also refer to the ratio of the frequency of such a signal or wave to the frequency of the reference signal or wave. Let f represent the main, or fundamental, frequency of an alternating current (AC) signal, electromagnetic field, or sound wave. This frequency, usually expressed in hertz, is the frequency at which most of the energy is contained, or…

MIDIbox UC (Universal Control) This is the home of the MIDIbox UC. It was created during a one-semester university project. You can find the existing documentation, sourcecode, and Java Software for programming it here! Beware that this is work based on the old 8-bit core (PIC-based). Back then, the Core32 did not exist, on which the implementation would be FAR easier. E.g., there you can directly connect 2 LCDs (no need for chaining 2 cores as done here), you have the SD card as a virtually …

An acronym created by the electronics industry for Mean Time Between Failures. This was an effort to establish a figure that gives an estimate of the reliability of a piece of equipment. The higher the MTBF rating, the longer the equipment should last. (The keyword is SHOULD!) For example, if the MTBF is 10,000 hours, the equipment should run, on the average, for 10,000 hours before failing. This rating is determined by the manufacturer who is also trying to make his product look attractive. Is …

These are very useful but expensive electrical switches that can control very large amounts of electrical energy. A relay consists of a switch that is operated by an electrical magnet. There are several types, including normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC). In an NO relay, when the magnet is engaged, the metal parts of the switch are pulled together. When the magnet is off the metal parts of the switch are pushed apart. The action is the opposite way around for an NC relay. This is an exa…

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:44:53 +0000

By connecting two or more resistors in SERIES between the positive and negative supplies, you can split the voltage down into a series of steps. The size of these steps depends on the resistor values used. For instance, if two resistors, one 220 and another 470 ohms, were connected in series in that order between a 9 volt supply and ground, you would find that the voltage at the point in between the resistors is 6.13V. The first 220 ohm resistor loses 2.87V across it. The calculation is based on…

Language and development environment: MIOS and it's applications run on the PIC series of processors. Applications may be written in C or assembly. The MBMixer is written in assembly, as that is the language I am most comfortable with. During development of the MBMixer, a new development environment was announced for MIOS, that uses GCC and SDCC instead of the MPLAB package supplied by Microchip. I may move the code over to the new environment at some time, but for this release, I am still work…

AOUT modules generate analog voltages (and gate signals) controlled by Midibox. Usually these are used to drive Analog Synthesizers. The following modules are available: AOUT Module uCApps AOUT_LC Module (low cost AOUT Module)uCApps AOUT_NG Module (new AOUT Module) The SHX8 module is used to extend the number of AOUT outputs using Sample and Hold chips
