Cool. it  looks like there are quite a few of you interested.
Let me get a quite breadboard made up of the circuit i've got in my head and i'll get to work on the PCB.

Nice timing -- I've just been considering buying a mobilecube myself.


my only issue i see w/ the mobile cube is that it looks like it's totally cheap plastic w/ computer speakers...
how much does that thing retail at? $160?  in comparison to the Cube Steet. I think the quality difference and the price difference justifies
getting the Cube Street.. Seems like it can take the abuse. specially if you gotta run from the cops. :-D

$160

VS.

$250



Round 1... FIGHT!

would someone hooking up several consoles benefit from a patchbay/data filtering(no clue what these are)? would your kit serve well for like maybe midines, a gb, and whatever else I decide I want to hook up?


to answer your question,  (i'll use LGPT as my example/midi out source) yes. it would allow you to control up to 8 ( if my memory serves me correctly piggy can handle 8 midi channels? or was it 4?).
Anyways.. it would allow you to control as many devices that piggy can handle via midi, but also allow for syncing as many devices as you have via midi clock to Piggy.

Typically midi patchbay's allow for filtering.. so you can send sync data to 1 output but maybe midi note data and only note data to another.. that type of thing.

I dont think that will really be needed in this case,

So anyways.. potential (if using LGPT)

Piggy controls up to 1-8 midi channels (or separate synths)
Piggy controls up to 1-8 midi synths, but add another thru box and you can sync as many midi devices via midi clock as you want to daisy chain thru boxes.

Well, in the starpause case, I bet there's a smallish speaker cab out there with the right impedance to suck the power from a smokey!

yeah totally.. gotta get those micro stack marshall's! :-D Hook up those to 2 smokies and you got your self a sweet little PA.

I've often wondered what chip-types are using to MIDI up several boxes - what with your average console not having MIDI thru!

I use a Philip Rees W5 dual input/5 out MIDI through box. If I didn't have it, I'd be up for this circuit!


werd.

i think if not enough people are in for the kit. i'll at least see if anyone's up for going in on the pcb run.

I have a crap ton of 74HC14's that i need to use up that  i ordered by accident. hahaha This project will be most excellent for it.

I think i might toss a few Piggy=>Midi's into a few as well and put in a simple DPDT switch to switch between Midi In and GP2X In.
WHAT! Do i smell a Piggy=>Midi MKII (or should i say MK Thru) coming on!? hahahaha.

Um, I don't think I made a good enough case for the smoky... thru the magic of electrical engineering, those fuckers can power a speaker cabinet... LOUD.  I've seen/heard one hooked up to a Marshall half-stack and the fucker was kickin.  But again, mono and might totally distort... dunno!


behold the power of impedance matching. Powers them. but doesn't drive them to their sweet spot. hehe.
But who really wants to carry around a 4x12 on the street w/ their little smokey. hahaha.

Just nab 2 pignose amps for stereo. hahaha

low-gain that's awesome, i'll snap my ghettoblaster when i'm home smile it doesn't get enough outside use cause it's hard to carry on my bike/back.

infradead: true stereo on the mobile cube means that you hear the left and right channels, it's not an mono aux input. the microcube rx

street cube looks like the loudest option. but the more i think about it the more i'm leaning towards the mobilecube ... it's likely loud enough to catch people's attentions and certainly better than cupping your hands around a psp or iphone speaker. i'll try it out, if it sucks i'll take it back to guitar center and upgrade to whatever i can reasonably carry.


i agree with you 100%. simply comes down to your demands for transportation, loudness, power and budget. smile

"The Midi Thru Box Project"

I'm going to be laying out a Midi Thru circuit for some friends and myself.. and i plan to lay out a pcb
and i figure i might as well see if anyone else is interested. I'm sure there are a few of you who actually sync GB's via midi and or use PIggy..


So based on the response here i will figure out how many pcb's to have made up.

I am thinking it will end up being something you can build to be either a 1x2 all the way up to a 1x8, Simple 9-12Vdc operation...
All depends on how many parts you feel like ordering haha.

I would guess a simple 1x8 kit would end up being $30-40 excluding an enclosure if i did an actual kit for it.
(keep in mind this is a midi thru box. not a midi patchbay w/ midi data filtering. just a simple buffered thru box)

Let me know if you guys would be interested, or at least going in on the pcb run.

k'thanks. smile
