new d8bridge approach

[mixingmusic]

This sounds so Cool!

I just want to give you an amazing update on the project.

I DID IT !!!!!!
I hacked the firmware !!!

the console now operates after the firmware upload with double baud rate on the serial connection,
so 230400 baud instead of 115200. That speeds up everything by a factor of 2 !!!
I'm getting close to realtime. It is also possible to double it again to 430800 but there can be cable problems at this speed.

A Full Meter set is now done in 50ms instead of 100ms

Lets see how it goes on.
The most functions now are working. The next days I will work on the hardware, so release in 6-8 weeks is still possible !

best regards
Ralph

saw youtube videos i need this! i did not see the big old power supply cable in back of the console so its definitively different than the d8bbridge correct ? i have a d8b cant get it to get of error43 plus i got it for a daw controller (logic 9 or X ) on intel mac. is this probox going to work for my application munkustrap ?

[munkustrap]

Yes, there are Mac USB driver available to get the
4 USB midi ports of the probox.
If logic supports the Mackie mcu Pro , then the
The probox works For your setup.

Yes, i only bought a d8b console without CPU/powersupply.
I build a fanless supply in the console.
Thats why you do not see the cable.

munkustrap i also have a mcu pro and one extender total 16 channels and avid mbox pro with external inserts. u said u built a fanless supply in the console i would have to build one to ??? or u have a solution ? would u be a ble to use 24 channels or like the mcu pro u can control as many channels in ur project just by clicking on the channel bank or im getting too far on the subject lol do u have a waiting list ?

Hi Ralph,

I'm in .... And I also want on the waiting list.

I use Cubase 7.5 64bit

With D8Bridge in 64 bit I can only use 24 channels as a Controller.....

Will I be able to use more than 24 Channels?

Also I get Meter bridge freeze...

Best Regards

Hey Munk -

Also, i know you already said that the Probox will work with any DAW that supports MCU protocol...but, what about HUI protocol for protools users...any support for that "out of the box" or will that be a future update? I ask only because there is a fire sale damn near on protoos HD systems now...thinking about grabbing one!



Thanks
