the funny thing is that i have almost the same laptop, the same shitty ricoh chipset, but the express card fw adapter works like a dream!. I guess that it's a matter of different units. I have read somewhere that  some hardware interfere (i.e. the lan, if you don't use it, turn it off on the bios). -some bus/ irq addressing/ weird techy stuff- weirdness.

And a friend of mine got the same laptop that i have... he was scared to get the fw interface because of my issues. but his m-audio usb interface works perfect on windows xp.

Hello folks, sorry to appear with this (kinda) discarded midi interface. I got it working and find it really interesting. I can make really nice arpeggio stuff with the built in function on my roland rs-5 and other midi magic but only from the musical keyboard.

Pushpin with the computer refuse to comunicate. I have look the possible issues, triple checked everything, also tried the midi out with the keyboard with software from the pc sending midi data, working correctly. All is working BUT the computer sending messages to the pushpin device is a no no.


I've maded the interface with this schem:


have anyone some advices on this stuff? maybe adding some other components in the mix. I got this on my breadboard, ready for changes.

it seems that the pushpin "hear" when i attempt to send midi data; a little clicks on the background affecting the audio signal when i'm tweaking some values.


maybe can someone suggest another working schem?

thank you in advance for your time!

I love the oriental vibe and the articulations aiming to imitate ancient wind instruments.

Low-gain, i don't know what are you thinking. this is not the way to talk things. there are private ways to solve anything, with good will and understanding. If you don't agree with something, chill out!.

this whole physical release cancellation is really bad. It was a great idea.

also,

with this "tool" make circular movements, and when you have the hole almost there, use sandpaper (the one for metal or wood works). make a small cylinder like a cone. and keep at it 'til is good enough.

EDIT: it's slow. but it works. good luck!

an arduino duenamilove is really cheap. and it can be used on several proyects. a must for everybody!

just borrow a dremel. not hard to find an owner.

how about free lance?

Voy a avisar a gente de microBCN (Lautaro, Brujo, Rabato, Yes! Robot, etc.) a ver si se animan. Tengo la impresión de que trabajan mucho "por atracones", más que hacer una labor contínua smile


Y si, acá en chile es cosa similar. conozco un par de colegas en similar situación. Veremos que se puede hacer al convocarlos wink.

I'm using a dell laptop, and bought a firewire focusrite LE saffire interface. I never got it working on the stock firewire. the shitty Fw fried. I tried a suggestion from a friend, to use a firewire express card. I bought one which has the TI chipset. I've connected it and it worked fine!.

I went to a lot of trouble with this firewire thing. I'm just saving for a MBP, but i don't know if still they have the 6 pins for firewire on board still. Two year Mac book brings with it, but i'm afraid that i've seen some of them with the same shitty components on the fw chipset; if it's ricoh it would fry. This problem never occurred with firewire video.

My suggestion is for you to go for  the firewire express card, test it on the store, bring your stuff. If it works fine. use it and you're gold.

note: use one with only two ports. Others are shitty.

anyways, i have a mac planned to buy. tongue

hope this helps, dell+firewire=nightmare

EDIT: i'm using linux btw.

dounloadin now, sudacas!

NL. 2.3 when sad?

i'll be waiting to preorder. I'm excited for this!.

if you put it on youtube there's an experimental (sometimes shitty) translator. It can help for everyone to (almost) fully understand it.
