![]() ![]() Buying a kit would make it much easier!ĭescribing the machine is tough because it is so deep. While not an overly difficult DIY project, it takes time to gather up the info & parts that you need. Mine has 2 MIDI In, 4 MIDI Out, eight CV/Gate voices and 8 trigger outs. I built it on a tight budget, making my own panel, case and CV interface rack. ![]() I built my MIDIBox Seq V4 over five years ago and it was the answer to all my sequencing dreams (and still is!) This is cleverly synced to the sequencer, so you get visual feedback of knob movements on the MatriX and screen data in the other direction. If you find that mouse editing within a DAW or similar is best for you, go for it! There are no wrong answers! What might be interesting is the upcoming MatriX (aka BLM16x16+X) that puts a massive grid of buttons within reach. In theory it could be done but IMO the workflows are quite distinct. On the vintage Roland MV-8000 and MV-8800 you can connect a big screen. Maybe it is possible to mirror things not in realtime by transfering midi files!? If Midibox or Circlone would do this with the independed, tight and low latency hardware-engine as core, and the computer as editable mirror - would be a dream! I guess Maschine and Ableton Push are doing this, aren't they? But all midi runs on the PC. I like composing and arranging on a computer screen. ![]() I wanted to say: Would be cool to have a seamless integration, mirroring everything. The fact that almost all operations can be performed while the sequencer is running helps with the learning process a lot. The menu system is extensive but never too deep (no more than two levels generally) - there's a sense that the design is centered on a coherent vision, good balance of compositional and performance elements. It's not cast in the form of any other sequencers that I've used - (am coming from a background of experience using a JJOS MPC, before that an RM1X and before that an MMT8). It's not the kind of environment where one can completely ignore the manual - there is a very particular (and powerful) underlying logical paradigm that isn't totally obvious or necessarily familiar from other designs. There is a lot going on in the MB Sequencer to be sure - my experience has been that that one can start working and producing solid results quickly, you can be building up X0X style tracks in minutes and grow into a fuller utilization of the more esoteric extents and capabilities of the system over time. Mainly if its quick to learn.or if it more feels like "overloaded".at least for somebody who has to dive in by new I´m also interested to know about its operation. ![]()
