MIDI to Sequencer
|
This is a neat little programmed PIC chip that
reads MIDI
Start, Stop, Continue and Clock pulses and outputs a Run signal (gate),
a Start pulse (sequence reset) and clock pulses at the MIDI standard of
24 pulses per quarter note. All three signals are available normal or
inverted
from the ICs 6 outputs.
Use it for DIN sync applications or to run analog sequencers. Only a few extra components are needed for the basic circuit. Plug this into a protoboard and have some interfacing fun! See the Data Sheet. $16 |

PS505 Low
Noise Power
Supply ![]() ![]() Size: 5.25 x 5.25 x 2.75 |
This is a custom designed supply in an
aluminum case. It features 7 built-in module connectors and a
switchable
120/220/240VAC input for overseas operation. Very conservatively rated,
it can supply +15V@500 mA and -15V@ 500 mA. We use an expensive low radiated field toroidal transformer for good conversion efficiency and to keep AC noise out of your modules. Audiophile Grade! The PS505 is predrilled to mount on the back of the Frac Rack or in a separate location such as the bottom of your SKB box or other rack mount container. Add the PSCONN board and connecting cable below to connect more modules. Fully compatible with MOTM systems also (does not include +5V). Assembled and tested. Comes with US power cord. For foreign orders, no cord is provided. Use a standard IEC type available at your local electronic store. Typically, one PS505 will power 10 modules.
However, as each module has different current requirements, it is
necessary to add up the + current draw for each module in your system.
This information is in the right hand column of the Store/Order page or
in each product Manual. When you reach +500 mA, it is time to add
another power supply. |

PSCONN2 Connector Board![]() |
Connect this 5.25" x 1.2" PCB to the PS500 (or any other
suitable supply)
and get 9 extra outputs for powering modules. Also includes a power
indicating
LED. Uses Amp/Waldom .156 connectors .
This is designed to mount on the side panel of a Frac Rak (hardware included) or vertically on the rear rails (extra hardware needed: 4 plastic spacers and 4-40 or 6-32 screws and nuts). Order more female connectors below if you need to hook up non Blacet Modules. (Our modules come with power cables and connectors). Assembled and tested. $29 18" cable, PS500 to PSCONN2, 4 pin to 6 pin: $6 |

Super Power Supply Cable Kit![]() |
Useful for adding DIY or custom modules to the
Blacet power system, the Super Power Supply Cable Kit allows
you to make up to 12 18" module power cables. Kit includes 4 pin
female
connectors, pins, heatshrink and quad 20 GA cable. Requires crimp tool (Mouser 538-11-01-0015 or equiv.) (Jameco 227491) Super Cable Kit: $26 Super Cable Kit with Crimp Tool: $49 |
||
![]() Power output orientation; same for all Blacet Supplies. (MOTM compatible. Same pattern, different connector for Paia Power Wings.) |
|||
|
Need "cheap" power? While we highly advise you to use our PS505 for safety, stability and convenience, some folks have asked for a kit to power 2 or three modules. If you are experienced with handling 120V safely then try PN 20626 from Jameco (.com). |

Patch Cable Kit 1/8" (3.5mm) Builds 5 color coded cables. |
|||
![]() |
Good color coded patch cables are nearly
impossible to find,
but you can built them easily with our high quality kit!
You get 10 metal 1/8" (3.5mm) connectors, 10' of extremely flexible, lightweight black coax and 5 different colors of heatshrink tubing. The coax is very easy to work with. You need basic electronic hand tools and soldering iron for assembly. Complete instructions included. $13 |
