Behringer X32/Midas M32 config.bak

Warning

The info in the blog are based on my own experience and for information only. If you f**k up your board by editing the file, it's your choice and your responsability.

Introduction

The X32/M32 core engine is a PC board running a customized Linux. What is cool with this is most configuration files are actually text files, that can be stored on an USB bey and edited. If you know a little bit of vi and awk, you can edit the files directly.

console.bak

This file contains a backup of the board configuration (all parameters). It's a text file, divided in multiple sections.

Links

How a channel (odd) is linked to the next one (even). There is one toggle (ON or OFF) for 2 channels.

/config/chlink ON ON ON OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON ON ON ON OFF ON OFF
/config/auxlink ON ON ON ON
/config/fxlink ON ON ON ON
/config/buslink ON ON ON ON ON ON OFF OFF
/config/mtxlink ON OFF OFF
For example, ON on the first position indicates Channel 1 and 2 are linked:
/config/chlink ON ON ON OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON ON ON ON OFF ON OFF
               ^^
               Channels 1 and 2 are linked.
The same principle applies to aux, FX, bus and matrices.

Drive replacement for Fostex DMT8-vl

The IDE hard drive on my Fostex DMT8-vl multitrack recorder shows signs of its imminent death; when getting hot, I could not record anymore. Must be said this drive comes from an old Sun Station, and has been replaced because I/O failures were detected by Solaris. It worked at least 5 years in my recorder: not so bad. However, time is now to replace it. The DMT8-vl is not able to handle drives bigger than 8.4 GB. Well, it is able to (the current drive is 15 GB), but only 8.4 GB will be usable. My tought was to use a 8 GB CompactFlash; having no moving parts means no noise, which is quite temptating for a music recording device. I purchased a CompactFlash-IDE adapter on the internet (8$) and I had to build a male-male IDE cable adapter (4$). Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The drive is correctly discovered by the operating system, which proposes to format it ("format IDE?"). After answering "yes", the formating runs pretty fast (faster than on a real drive), ...

Samba: Clients get "system error 1223" (or 123) after a server reboot

Facts: a Linux+Samba server shares anonymously a folder. After a reboot, Win clients could not attach the share drive anymore. C:\>net use \\mylinux\folder Enter the user name for 'mylinux': System error 1223 has occurred. The operation was canceled by the user. C:\>net view \\mylinux\ System error 123 has occurred. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. The process are present, and tcpdump doesn't provide much information. What's going on? After hours of headscratching, the light came: the firewall was on and no rules for the Samba protocol! Grrr!

Issue with Soundpool MO4

I have a Atari STe with a Soundpool MO4 MIDI extension. It used to work very well, but unfortunatelly doesn't anymore: Cubase still detects it, and I can output MIDI to it but nothing is coming out from any MIDI Out. It took me a while to tackle it (lack of time, lack of tool, other items to play with), but I gave a glance last week-end. The parallel port on the Atari uses only the following signals: Pin 1 : Strobe (Atari -> MO4) Pin 2 : Data 0 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 3 : Data 1 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 4 : Data 2 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 5 : Data 3 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 6 : Data 4 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 7 : Data 5 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 8 : Data 6 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 9 : Data 7 (Atari -> MO4) Pin 11: Busy (MO4 -> Atari) The MO4 also decodes few other pins, but since the Atari doesn't, my guess is the MO4 was also targeted for PC. Inside the box, the MO4 is architectured around a CPLD (IspLSI1016 from Lattice) which contains the logi...
