Re: [SynthModules] PSIM + Fat Controller = Dynamic Duo

2005-08-21 by Brice D. Hornback

Excellent work Andrew!  Those samples sound great!  I'm really looking 
forward to seeing the code.  I usually use my Alesis SR-16 to clock my Fat 
Controller.  I hadn't even thought about using the PSIM-1 and a DIN Sync 
cable.
