Longish ramble follows. I welcome suggestions for dealing with multiple cable & physical formats. Thanks. Now on with my post: I was going to convert my PSIM to the MOTM format with a Stooge panel. Now I'm not so sure. I am definitely buying a Stooge panel, but I may use it as Br

No problem. I can add that as an add-on module going forward. The only problem is... the panel will cost ten times as much as the parts that go behind it. SO... if there IS interest in this... I don't want any "sticker shock" when the time comes. How much are you folks willing to

Hey, Colin! I didn't know you were becoming a (p)simmian, that's excellent. Mr. Hinz and I met on a circuit bending list, I pointed him to SDIY, and here we are in the "exclusive" (LOL!) PSIM club. You guys should see this... device... that he once made. Oh, those poor, tortured

I'm guessing about a 20 microsecond execution time for an equate. Each MIDI byte takes 320 microseconds. You could execute about 8 - 16 simple BASIC commands in each byte time. Something as simple as: TEMP = RDR 'read recieve data register POKE INDEX, TEMP ' store byte in RAM buf

What about assembly language code for the ISR? The processor is fast, but probably not fast enough to keep up with servicing the buffer and staying sync'd to some other program, me thinks. So MIDI CV only? --- In SynthModules@yahoogroups.com, "Brice D. Hornback" wrote: > Mark, >

Mark, It's not PIC based. It has a Hitachi H8/3664 on it. Read the datasheet in the files section of the Group's site. Yes, you can PEEK and POKE but there may be easier ways to handle it. I'm looking into this as well. - Brice "It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you h

Yeah, this is something I've asked for on the Blacet list. Seems like it would be super easy to make a half-size module with 4 pots and 4 output jacks that could spit out 0-5 volts (or 0-10). Stepped voltage would be extremely useful as well. Would it be any easier/cheaper to hav

Continuing my thinking out loud on the MIDI input. How would one handle a buffer in this BASIC? It does not support STR$ command or some of the other 16K BASIC features for string handling. It seems you would have to use an array variable and brute force move all bytes for a firs

Let me clarify that. Maybe we can make a group effort and crack this nut. The MIDI basic stamp page at: http://www.audiomulch.com/midipic/ says somewhere there is a problem doing MIDI with the Parallax Basic Stamp because it is not buffered. The Atom Pro is set up MUCH better wit

2004-04-07 by john mahoney
Good questions. I assumed that a MIDI input would allow the use of MIDI controllers (knob boxes). This would be a *major* advance in the PSIM user interface, in my opinion. 2 quick examples: 1) Analog-style sequencer with knobs or sliders for each step. Pitch, Velocity, Gate time

The question is who is going to write the MIDI interface software. A MIDI in port isn't much good without an interupt driven parser and realtime message handler. Development of that is around two man weeks of work. Any volunteers? --- In SynthModules@yahoogroups.com, "john mahone

I need a bit of help here. I'm using my Moog Prodigy for a keyboard. If I plug the CV OUT into my Blacet or ARP VCOs, everything tracks perfectly as expected. I was having strange things happen when I used the Prodigy to feed notes into the PSIM for one of my sequencer programs,

I'd like to see a utility module that provided stepped voltages. I plan to set-up a series of "preset" programs on the PSIM and use the -/+ output of my Blacet mixer module to select a preset. It would be great if there was an add on module with several detented pots (I don't kno

2004-04-07 by Andrew Scheidler
Oh yeah... you could also set up a couple more sequences (that would go out the other 2 outputs) that could be altering even more parameters. And of course these parameter sequences could be different lengths than the note sequence, so the resulting timbre would constantly be shi
