Re: [SynthModules] PSIM-1 Information Update

2004-01-24 by ALMAGATA@telefonica.net

Hi Brice and friends,

I have one question: 
Can you program a mix module? for example, having two quantizers, one 
S/H and one sequenced trigger all running at time?

Thanks,

Josue.

Re: PSIM-1 Information Update

2004-01-26 by bdhornback

Josue,

Yes.  I just uploaded a sample to the PSIM-1 page that (although I 
don't particulary care for the sample) it does do some interesting 
things.  Here's the details:

PSIM-1-demo-sound-002_SAH.mp3 - Chromatic Quantized S&H demo at 120 
BPM. Blacet Dark Star Chaos Noise Filter Out being sampled with two 
inputs of the PSIM-1.  Two PSIM-1 outputs driving two Blacet VCO's 
Synced and also using the PSIM-1's AUX port as a GATE to gate a 
Blacet EG1 which was providing the AD for the Diode Ladder filter 
which had a little bit of Q added.  A little bit of flanging also 
provided by an Ibanez AD202 Multimode Analog Delay.  Anyway... this 
sample demonstrates S&H, Quantizing, and GATE functions at actual BPM 
time. 

So, S&H plus Quantizing, and a Gate.  I could just have easily 
sampled two (or four) seperate sources and performed different 
functions on all the outputs.  I'm sure more can be done.  It's all 
in the programming.
