====== MIDIbox DigiRoland Project ====== ===== Introduction ===== The Midibox EuRoland project aims to be a **4U Re-Edit of Analog Drum Parts of Roland TR Drumachines** designed to fit in the Eurorack size Format, to be driven trought MIDI or CV. It's the Merging of these projects: * [[mb-606re|MB-606RE]] * [[mb-808re|MB-808RE]] ===== Community users working on it ===== * **[[Phatline]]** * **[[Psykhaze]]** * **[[Antichambre]]** ===== Getting Involved ? ===== Just let a Private message on the forum to users already involved ===== General Design ===== 2 Cases of use :\\ * **1. Midi-Interface:** Use the MB-Modulbox Standartmodules, for Digital UI and CV+Trig-Generation\\ * **2. Analog Interface:** Just Plug CV or Trig Jacks into the Analog Modules...without Midibox.\\ ===== Workshare ===== ====606==== BD+SD > [[Psykhaze]]\\ CY+HH > [[Phatline]]\\ ====808==== BD, SD, TOM > [[Psykhaze]]\\ CY, HH, COWBELL > [[Phatline]]\\ ====909==== BD, TOM, SAMPLER-Voices > [[Psykhaze]]\\ SD, RIM > [[Phatline]]\\ ===== Configuration ===== ==== MIDI Use ==== === MB-Modulbox Main PCB UI === **Access** to System-Settings, Channel, NoteNumbers\\ **CV+Trig Out-Jacks** for Euroland Drum Modules \\ === MB-Modulbox 8xPotentiometer Module === When using the Euroland Modules via Midi, then there are some Performance Parameters aviable:\\ All Functions have effect on all 8 Voices @ once.\\ * **1.Velocity Offset** (-+64 > with Center Postiton = normal)\\ * **2.Velocity Kill depending Note Kill** (-+64 > with Center Position = normal > Full Spectrum)\\ * **3.Random Kill** (0=full Kill, 127 no Kill, Normal Position > 127)\\ * **4.Velocity 2 TriggerLength** (-+64 > with Center Position = normal 10ms, turn right:time inc by velocity in%, turn left:decrease%)\\ * **5.Accent:** (0-127-normal 127)\\ * **6.------:** could be something like Roll\\ * **7.------:** not used, could be something like a Accent for a Group of CVs\\ * **8.------:** not used, could be something like a Accent for a Group of CVs\\ accessible via MB-Modulbox 8xPot - PCB. Just plug it in, and acitivate the AIN-Port in MIOS\\ === MB-Modulbox 8x8 LED-Button-Matrix === Set CV + Trig Routing (some kind of trigger matrix), standard is 1:1 routing, so no need for this if you use a fixed setup. ==== Analog Use ==== Here are only the Analog-Drum-PCB discussed, since all other Digital UI is based on MB-Modulbox Standart Modules, the MB-Modulbox Main PCB2 is special Variant, described here. ===== Software Tools used ===== * **[[inkscape|Inkscape Vector Drawing Software]]** - Front panel Concept Drawing * **[[kicad|KiCAD PCB]]** - PCB Design | **[[http://smisioto.no-ip.org/elettronica/kicad/kicad-en.htm|KiCAD Librairies]]** * **[[codeblocks_ide|Code::Blocks Integrated Development environment]]** - MIOS programming ===== Eurorack Relative ===== * **Eurorack Design 3U Height **//=5,25"=133mm-rails=__**128,5mm**__// . * **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}} | {{::neonking:eurotemplates.zip|Eurorack Templates DXF}}**\\ * **PCB Size is 100mm height** To stay compliant to **//[[http://www.elma.com/en/services/us-resources/eurocard-specs/|Eurocard Specification]]//**
