====== 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 ==== - **[[stm32f4_core_board_parts_list|STM32F4 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. ===== Community users working on it ===== * **[[Ksir]] ** -

**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
