"these are the latest news:

The first batch of A-188-1 have been already shipped,
but only versions with
256, 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 stages. All customers
who ordered the module
with 128 stages will have to wait for the third batch
(June 2006) as there
are too many modifications required for this BBD
circuit (additional parts
and wires, interrupted pcb tracks). But even new
orders with 256...4096
stages will have to be patient as the frist batch is
completely sold out and
the second batch will arrive about end of May (the
second batch does not yet
have the jumpers that are required to be able to
select all types of BBD
circuits - including the 128 stage BBD). The user's
manual ist already
available for download on our web site (thank's Ingo
for the proofreading).

The first universal vactrol modules A-101-9 have been
shipped already but
the manual is not yet ready, especially the examples
are still missing. But
I hope we will finish the manual with the most
important applications until
end of this week.

What's next ? As the smd board for the AD/DA module is
ready we will
continue with the modules that are based on this board
(please refer to my
last emails). I  assume that the "real time modifier
module" will be the
first one of this series. If everything is working as
we expect these
functions will be included: VC bit cruncher (bit
limiter), VC bit exchanger
(but we will have to see if this makes sense),  and
different digital
waveshapers (including wave multiplier). But Christian
warned me not to
promise too much as the possibilities will depend upon
the calculation power
of the microcontroller. Especially multiplications,
divisions and non-linear
calculations (e.g. lin/log conversions) take a lot of
time. I will keep you
informed and publish audio examples as soon as we have
them available. But
it will still take some weeks.

And of course all the other modules in the waiting
queue have to be
finished: TKB, normal CV/gate keyboard, controller
box, SC filter (probably
a dual filter with two 30dB filters with a common
control especially for
clock suppresion applications for BBD and the AD/DA
module), quadrature/thru
zero VCO, pitch-to-CV/midi interface, precision
adder/bus access/buffer,
matrix mixer, dual VCF with spread control, bypass
module, possibly the
manual gate module (the inquiries seem to increase for
this module), simple
8 bit AD-converter with digital outputs and the
counterpart (8 bit
DA-converter with digital inputs) and many more. I do
not promise that all
of these modules will be available. At first we have
to built all the
prototypes to find out if the functions are usefel and
of course we have to
look if there are sufficient inquiries for the module
in question."





SO, KEEP ON VOTING!
