Hi PHASEREFFECT! a pleasure to read about you other time. :bravo:


Have you tried the Reason 4´s Thor synthesiszer?

Hi Eugene :)

No, haven't tried it yet (i mainly use Linux, so i don't have much prossibilities to try Windows-Software). I still have some problems with the term Software. I ...

What are You looking at? Do Ya hav some synth wishlist or sth ? ;)

Oh, my wishlist is full (don't believe that i don't have anymore instruemtns, i have enough, but nothing really useful, crappy pushbutton-Synths). But hey, not everything is useful. Wouldn't know what do do with a Minimoog for ...

Sell me one Before i take the decision to use Software. CME Equipment seems to be rather cheap, but useful. Maybe its the best solution.

...wouldn't say that i am back. I would, but i can't. Bad circumstances at the moment. To release something fresh, i need in first order my MS2000 back. Without its impossbile. It was somehow my machine. I already made a (half-ready) VST-Instrument of the MS2K, but it is not the same. And doesn't ...

Yes, I got the point I always get a bit technical....i´ll pick up this weekend the machines for the PCB and try to make one....

Stef

Well I was thinking about patch chords and such. It should surely be possible to memorize those, but load them from memory? :P



Yeah, why not? Take a simple tape recorder for example. It stores voltages and plays them back, if necessary. The same way should work such a device. A analog to ...

Sounds cool. Can you get me one for my ARP2500? the presets saving facility that is? :pwned:

Possibly :) Why not? It doesn´t matter an ARP or Roland or whatever, from where the control voltage comes from. Think even about a potentiometer of something similar. As long it is secured with enough ...

damn this shit rocks :D w8tin for Minipop :D

No problem, as i´ve said, it works, but i must be sure that it also works if it is connected onto another machine. So unfotunaly you´ll have to wait unless i´ll receive the Diodes and Transistors. A friend of mine will give me the machines/parts for ...

Already sounds good from the above demo!

Yeah, but fact is, that i currently have no more Transistors and Diodes.....and that it would be better to use a -real- PCB instead of a Bread-Board. Additionally are the i/o´s of the chip not really "secured", just give them once too much input voltage ...

Ok, the Snare works also. Fact is, that it couldn´t be done with the Chip alone and some 1N4148 because the Chip itself isn´t "strong enough" on its outputs to open/close the Transistors inside of the CR78. In fact it must be a construction of -several- 1N4148, PNPs and some capacitors.

I´ll ...

Looks better:

I had to admire that some instruments still don´t work, at least the Snare, the most important after the BD. So seen 7 of 13 instruments work currently.

Stef

Doesn´t look good at the moment. I have some problems with the ports and additionally there are several problems, specially on the CR78: The internal Amplifier seems only to work when the machine is in "Play"-mode (ok, this is no big problem, i have simply to push both "cancel"-buttons on the ...

I hope on the next days. In fact i have to put the Chip into my CR78 and perform some tests against another midified Drummer, to find out if there any delay occurs while playing. And at least a test of minimum 2-3 hours.

So I underestand that I'll be able to program my own rhytms in for example piano roll in Cubase on channel 16? sth like C3 - kick C#3 snare etc?

Jup, exact.

Stef

Ah, and i forgot: To reduce the amount of parts i´ll proram the chip to take only action on channel 16. Ok?
