pretty big midi-box NG

Design Concepts
1

Hi there,

I’m thinking of building a pretty sick midi-baby with 24xMF 48xencoder 48xledring 96xbutton and some “normal controls”.

I thought this could be done with:

3x18F running MIOS

each core running 8xMF 16xencoder 16xledring 32xbutton+led 2x 40x2 LCD  ;D

And one core for a graphical LCD and the transport controls etc.

Is this at all possible?

If I understand it right this coiuld be accoumplished with the use of the MIDI-link to link the cores togheter.

I think I might have to use 2 MIDI llinks (or COM links) to the host PC in order to process the VU-meter data etc.

I know it’s only a lazy design picture but I’m actualy planning on building this baby.

Thanks in advance guys!

now that is beast!!

and from what i’ve heard/read so far it seem perfectly doable - good luck!

I think also u may even soon be able to have one main LCD that addresses all cores in the ‘chain’…

I planning on using a graphical at the end, and 2 (or probably one initialy due to the costs) 2x40 LCD’s on each core so you can see what you are doing on each channel.

So you can use 1 encoder to select function (balance,AUX,bass,treble, etc) And one to select the value.

I would then have something like this:

[table][tr][td]PAN 1[/td][td]BASS2[/td][td]AUX3[/td][td]TREB4[/td][/tr]

[tr][td]L35[/td][td]+5db[/td][td]-20db[/td][td]+2.5db[/td][/tr][/table]

P.S.: I forgot to put an LED-digit MTC display on the right

How I can  to  receive  /whats hardware  resourse is  need/ a configuration with:

•      16 motorfader+1 masterfader,

•       8 encoder+8 LED rings, +1 encoder      Jog/Shuttle for the transport control /btw. whether perhaps  to use  jog/shuttle encoder  ALPS  SRGP Series,10 pulses?/.

•      5 button for Play/Stop/Record/FF/RW,

•      64-128 assigned buttons+64-128 LED indications for this buttons?

•      240x128 LCD

three core modules, some DINx and DOUTx modules and software skills (or somebody who helps you to customize this controller…)
