This hints at one program that I will *definitely* write unless someone else does it first: A MIDI master clock out plus some synchronized LFOs. It would have up to 4 LFOs with variable frequency ratios (relative to the master clock) and whatever waveforms I want to give them. :-

Just a thought, The PSIM can also serve as a quantizer for non 1V per octave VCOs. For example the Buchla 258s have roughly a 2.5 volt per octave responce. So the 10 volt output of the PSIM would cover 4 octaves. 2.5 / 12 = 0.208 millivolts per semitone. That translates to 80 DAC

Why don't you just take your analog sequencer and have it read by the PSIM as an expanded input device? Take the ARP 1613 for example. Run the 10 volt output into a CV input of the PSIM-1, then take a PSIM CV out to the sequencer step input. Then just read the input voltage from

Hi, I don't know what Andrew uses these for but a simple module like he describes would be a great complement to the PSIM-1 because you could use it as a pot (knob) interface. It would add knobs (to be interrpreted by your custom software) to the PSIM-1. --- In SynthModules@yahoo
