midihub++ kit: 6 way MIDI splitter and beat clock distributor

Published on Jan 29, 2013 Jason Hotchkiss·115 videos

"This is a kit I have developed from a previous project. The original idea was a gizmo for MIDI jam sessions where several musicians might share a common beat clock accessible to all. The same device also does a 6-way MIDI thru/split so its a pretty handy thing to have.

On board there is a PIC16F688 MCU, a 6N138 opto-isolator and a 4050 six-way non-inverting buffer chip. The PIC handles both the beat clock and the MIDI thru, so there is no contention between the two. Power is via a mini USB socket.

I decided to get some PCBs made up and make an inexpensive kit available on Tindie.

Simmons SDS-V with Built-in MFB SEQ-01 Sequencer

via XBS where you'll find the full details including more pics.

"The MFB SEQ-01 needs to be routed to the trigger or sequencer inputs on the SDS-V cards. I had a few options here. One was to connect the sequencer outs to the Simmons’ native sequencer inputs. The other was to hook it up to the trigger or pad inputs. I opted to use the trigger inputs ( counter intuitive, i know! ) because this gave me a gain adjustment on the face plate of the brain for each trigger from the sequencer to the drum module. The SDS-V drum modules are very dynamic and it’s useful to be able to hit them with sequencer trigger more or less to taste..."

"This one is in fantastic condition, no silly mods or hacks juts as it was made in the 80's and that's exactly what you'll get a real authentic sounding synth! There are Velcro straps on the base but can easily be removed if wanted..."

"No copyright infrigement intented.
Used for the purpose of criticism and education.

This is a Synth Jam playing a little bit (a part) of Equinoxe 4 by Jean Michel Jarre; is not quite like the original, neither isn't intent to be like the original. This video was made with improved sounds comparing with my other video from this theme.

Background track sequenced on Cubase, passed then to Roland SP-404 and then trigged on it.

Main sounds played:

Lead: Roland V-Synth v2
Pad: Yamaha AN1x
Synth Strings: Akai Miniak"
