Re: PSIM-1 Update

2004-01-16 by woodyy_wall

Here are a few ideas I've had for the PSIM:

1. Quad quantizer with different notes/scales for each voice

2. Quad "Source of Uncertainty." Use the inputs to control the rate of
change and/or the transition to new voltages: stepped, log, linear,
exponential.

3. Multiple rhythm generator--different rhythms triggered by different
input voltages.

4. Non-linear transform processor: a single inuput produces multiple
outputs. May not be fast enough for audio, but useful for unusual
morphing LFO shapes.

5. Arbitrary envelope generator: one input sets the number of
segments; second input selects a specific segment; third input sets
the slope for the selected segment; fourth input then triggers each
segment in sequence. I need to think more about how this would be set up.

6. Along the same lines as number 5, arbitrary sequencer: while
playing back, one input selects the beginning loop point, a second
input selects the ending loop point. Allows you to change the sequence
length and position during playback.
