I am so done with this. I can't afford to keep sending out money, and this has been the most ridiculous experience. Two more each AIO and Button boards available - I'm sick of this shit and I'm out. If you want my advice (and n…

I would be surprised if the USPS payed anything out on the insurance claim. I have known quite a few people to file claims on insured packages and have yet to find someone who got anything out of it. That said, I am not convinced all the boards w…

email sent. A big thanks to jug and ku for their efforts to salvage something from this mess. Also a big thanks to Starfire, who put effort into the design and development of the boards - which (despite the complete cluster) look really aweso…

Having some people get everything and leaving others to go after shvan for a refund (does someone want to give odds on that right now?) doesn't seem right. Also, the odds on getting anything from USPS from an insurance claim is pretty low. W…

Wow - someone actually felt optimistic about this in the past three months... Of course I am hoping for the best, but expecting a box full of pocket lint and Internet Fraud Barbie dolls (if you pull her string she tells you it will ship out in th…

I don't know what the max chip does, honestly, as I haven't really looked at the specs. There are supposed "grayscale" led drivers that use pulse-width modulation to control the brightness instead of current control (actually in …

I think the difference is in the LED driver, which means replacing the MAX chip with a grayscale driver. I have no idea how difficult this would be - the pinouts could be different and it could require changing the programming in the atmega.

Can someone confirm the state of his residence? I have seen references to the Baltimore area, New Jersey and Maine. I am trying to locate the proper jurisdiction.

I thought it was a reference to Kingpin. We are all basically munsoned right now...

I think it might be optimistic to assume that all of the boards have been purchased. In the event that there is not enough to go around, I guess I would propose that first everyone should get at least 1 of each logic and keypad. Then priority wou…

Another option might be to use an escrow account. I did a quick search and found escrow.com - the cost is 3.25% on $5k and under. Per order that isn't too bad. I'm not sure how it would work with group buys, but something like that is a po…

I sent the following email to Sebastian: Sebastian, I know you are probably getting a lot of emails from a lot of frustrated people, so I will keep this short. I don't know what the real situation is, but I am pretty sure that we haven…

I don't know what the truth is. What I do know is that I am pretty sure we haven't heard it (at least not from Sebastian). I am contacting the attorney general in Baltimore to investigate our options in the event that we don't get …

My apologies for writing "at this point" so much in the previous post. I am pretty sure that violated some serious rule of grammar or style. Forgive me. See how easy that was?

tehn, I believe in forgiveness too but the fact of the matter is that right now forgiveness is not being asked of us. We are being asked to believe some claims that are at this point pretty outlandish. The other fact of the matter is that at this…

First you need to figure out what exactly isn't working. The LEDs aren't lighting up, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the LEDs are the problem. It can also be the diodes, bad soldering or broken traces on the pcb.

But the shipping is free!

If any of you guys really want some personal contact, send an email to shvan directly. He has responded to every email I have sent him. I am guessing he feels pretty bad about the situation and probably avoids reading this thread. Whether you agr…

If you built it from a kit, you may need to set the serial number on the FTDI chip.

What kind of button pads are you using? Sparkfun or Livid?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need MaxForLive to run 7up? And polloasado has it - you run ableton and the max runtime separately but rewire max into ableton.

Not sure exactly what you are wanting to do. You can use the Livecontrol app which does not require MaxForLive and works with Ableton. You can download the Max runtime which is free and use Rewire to work with Ableton.

For some bizarre reason, most everything is working now. I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything, so it must have been the gum drop ferry and her magical dust bunnies. The only thing not working is the Sequencer. There are only three …

The weird thing is that if I just remove "External" from the program list everything stops working. If I use a much simpler config like: [LiveControl] width = 8 height = 8 programs = ClipLauncher, Scale It doesn't work eit…

Here it is: [LiveControl] width = 8 height = 8 programs = External, ClipLauncher, Looper, TrackControl, TrackFilter, DeviceControl, Scale [MultiMode0] mode = 0 programs = MultiMode1, Looper [MultiMode1] mode = 1 programs = ClipLaunch…

I'm still having troubles - I feel like I am missing some fundamental understanding of what is going on. If I alter the livecontrol.txt config file in my home directory at all, the script ceases to work. If I just remove one of the programs …

You can get Ableton Live Intro really reasonably - you won't notice the limitations for a long time. I am not sure if you can get MaxforLive with Intro or whether that is even worth it or not. If you are a programmer you might want to look i…

You've pretty much got it right. Starfire has a pdf describing how to set up a 128 using monomeserial: starfiretech.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/128instr.pdf

Hey - thanks ST8. By the way, Livecontrol is pretty awesome - I really appreciate the work you've put into it. I have IAC drivers set up - is there some trick to setting it up to work with the scaled keyboard?

Anyone?
