Re: [CZsynth] Re: FZ1 what it can do

2012-01-24 by jammie

may be the end of this year

it will use the same usb controller as the dss1 mod

the pal chips will be replaced with an fpga that will collect all the signal 
of the pal chip and use its own memory controler on the fpga a lot like the 
dss1 mod

and a piece of code to access this this will mean an extra rom with the new 
routines so that it dont have to be loaded by the floppy as is the case with 
the fz20 scsi implimentation

at the moment the pal chip can address 4mb as it has 8 ras signals

it will mean bigger samples but still only be 8 note poly

as this is the limitation of the hardware

i have a lot of projects this year trying to interface to different synths 
in adding new pcm support like the m1 and tseries and wavestation

but will keep people updated when the prototype is working

the case for the floppy emulator is priority at the moment which i want to 
be in production by the end of feb

and i have a new filter board being designed for the dss1 allowing it to 
have the matrix 12 filter responce of 15 different types

so im very busy aswell as fixing synths and samplers and fx machine and 
doing sample wares for hardware synths and soft synths kontakt wusikstation 
and alchemy and sf2 and the solaris

watch this space
