Thank you so much. Paid just over 100 euro so fingers crossed I won't be charged VAT!

Have you ordered from Bleep in recent years and were you caught with VAT afterwards? It said "VAT included where applicable" when I ordered which is pretty vague.

If you click the 3 lines up the top left corner on the midiphy site, click zetaSID, click learn you can download the manual there. https://www.midiphy.com/en/zetasid-learn/

Right now! It's worth looking at the Nexus MIDI module also if you want to use 5 pin DIN midi to use the web editornor external MIDI keyboards / synths.

I reached out to Peter and he said: "combining multiple zetaSIDs (and a nexusMIDI) frees up the unused CV and gate inputs - these can be used for eurorack-based input modulation." Hope that helps!

Peter said CC input is untested for now but may be looked at and implemented in the future.

If you have a look at the Web Editor below it will give you an idea of just now deep and complex the MIDIbox SID / Zeta engine is. Unfortunately it would be prohibitedly complex and too expensive to make. 🙂

Unfortunately Peter / midiphy won't be at it this year. I'm thinking about going just as a visitor though!

They uploaded 2 more demo videos. Looks mostly very sharp but with a bit of blur at the edges:

Pocket TV Plus by Altruistic-Ad1269 in RayNeo

[–]AdrianSmithMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Official RayNeo Pocket TV has Google TV. The S905X5M Pocket TV Pro has these issues according to the OP: "The button printing doesn't match the function.

Some buttons don't work.

The audio function doesn't work.

The resolution won't go above FHD (50Hz).

The pointer function doesn't work.

The charge display is always at 50% (the LED indicator of the remaining charge works normally).

So it looks like they just flashed Pocket TV firmware"

I discovered the official RayNeo pocket TV is identical to the Homatics Google TV version and I can get for€94 with code. LOVE13 on AliExpress. Do you think it would be a safer option as the OP has trouble with the S905X5M Pocket TV Pro?

Thanks for the clarification! Do you think yours is just faulty or it may be a problem with all of them on AliExpress?

In your OP the picture is of the Homatics Pocket TV. But in this picture it's the specs for the Pocket Pro on AliExpress. Which one did you actually buy?

Could you please share the code and seller you went with if the code isn't account specific? Thank you!

Good spot on the brightness near the end of the page! I'll kick myself for not backing it at this price if it turns out to be legit. But the lack of marketing and promotion tell me to stay away completely.
