Howard, you may be the only person that can provide answers about this cool 17 slider fader box. From what i gather, Blue Sky Logic made it and went out of business shortly thereafter. I have aquired one without documentation and have come up zero searching the net for info about programming it. I saw the post where you list your music gear and I saw you had one. if you still have a manual or sysex programming info, It would help me integrate this puppy into my studio...

TIA,

DAVE, (aka:LAYZER)

welcome

Yes, I have one of these. Excellent devices, but hard to program. I have the manual. I will scan it and post it here on the site, but you'll have to give me a few days. I need to find some time. It's about 25 pages.

I don't remember the year, but I went to the first MIDI converence in NY. It must have been 82, maybe 83. This was the first MIDI fader I ever saw. They had the prototype. I bought it at the show. It took many months for them to ship it. I wrote them some email that it was very hard to program and they wrote back. The seemed rather upset I didn't like it. Soon after, JL Cooper started making similar devices and from there the market exploded. I guess my MIXI is a bit of a collectors item now - if anyone every heard of them. Laughing

Now that you have one, we can start a club. Wink

EDIT - the manual is copyright 1988. I may be way off on the year. Shocked

Anyone know a free program for XP that lets one put together a multi-page PDF file from a bunch of image scans?

I could have bought a bcr, a uc-33 a peavey.... but hey i got this for 20$ and i knew it would be a challenge finding the key to its lock.... that quest my friend is worth 100 of those other readily available controllers.

if you like, go ahead and scan the pages in that same gif format, then pack them in a zip.... i would be glad to convert it into a pdf for us!
thanks a million again!

DAVE.

Ghostscript : http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

You don't need to install ghost view, that's a viewer only. Ghostscript is a command line tool, for myself I made it a bit easier by by programming a little graphical front end thingy for it, you can have that one if you want.

Dave, thanks for the offer to pack the PDF.

Jan, if you could post your wrapper either here, Windows as a music workstation, or in a PM, that would be great. I think OpenOffice might do this as well, I'll check into that.

I got the unit from ebay and the seller had 3 of these up for auction...
Howard, once you get this up i am going to email the other winners of the other units a link to this thread so they can also benefit from the time spent converting this.
thank you, thank you!!!

Dave.
