I just use one of these 8)

y0 - - -i have probem wiz my arduinoboy - -

it only works right when i power it via usb > when im using power supply the clock goes totally offbeat //

any ideas ?  - -i already tried 12v and 5v power supplies for arduino ; /

oh thanx wise man ! : ]

so i just need to make songs with 5+7 =12 , 6+6=12. . .. .  , right ?

Groove is "ignored"- thats not technically accurate, but easier to understand. You are playing with the pattern's ticks and not the master tempo itself. as long as your groove breaks down to 24 ppq (5+7=12 which is evenly divided by 24) it will remain in sync, just not have the shuffle. Another way to look at it is this is why each pattern can have a different groove, its just playing with how the phrase handles the clock ticks, and does not alter the clock ticks themselves, if this wasn't the case how would lsdj know which phrase's clock to use for its sync? Also that would mean slave sync could not as easily use a external clock and still have grooves.

hmm, I don't use grooves much so I never had any problems with it. Might be that only 6/6, 5/7, 4/8 etc. kind of grooves work...I'll try to check out later and let you know.

SO i like made this arduinoboy and set up it to start in force mode (LSDJmaster sync)
arduino boy is blinkin  and drummachine is recieving MIDI signal //

BUT it plays normal only when i set groove in LSDJ as 5/7 !
5/5 6/4 or other groove settings just plays it wrong : (

WHATS WRONG ?? or its suposed to work only with 5/7

?

thanks

theoretically, you would have to build an FTDI that had midi connectors on it, and it wouldn't auto reset the board, but the midi sockets are connected to the transmit and receive lines of the arduino so they can be used to transmit code in theory.

there are a few problems that i can see though, first of all pin 4 which activates the opto would have to be on, also you would need a resistor on the midi in socket connector to avoid burning out the opto.

if i had some spare parts like midi connectors i could make up a test rig and see if it works. in theory it should but i don't have the resources to try

so the update can be done thru midi?!?!

/me holds breath waiting for a yes

I made this :

it s very easy to do but it works strangely because
just notes c d# e g g# b from g-1 to g6 are playing: 55 notes,  only channel 1 and 4 works pu1=midi ch1   noise=midi ch4
and only fonction y sends notes other fonctions aren't working

it s very stable and usable (plug n play)but the one in description should be really better.
I use a dmg04 cable (blue on gnd, brown 5v, green a0, yellow a1, red a2),
I tried to connect  pin3 on ground but nothing changes.

Any idea ?

my CAPS LOCK pedal IZ BROKEN : *(

YEP ITS POSSIBLE  // thanks ashimoke ,, NeX already helped me oout yesterday !

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEENX ! ^_____^

You can do that. I guess you don't want to send midi notes and only use the LSDJ master clock sync right?
You just omit all the midi in parts (like the optocoupler) and button and leds. You'd have to modify the code slightly so the LSDJ master mode is fixed. I did that so I can send you the code. PM me if interested.

what happened to you typing in ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME?

that would be kinda annoying cause them you wouldnt be able to use the maxpat editor to change its settings without midi i/o or at least a ftdi header.

i can build you an arduinoboy with just midi out if thats what you want. i could even build it into a cable so there is no actual box
