Hey Simmians :)

It will surely be several days before I get a chance to figure out how
to :post: programs at the Yahoo site, so I threw together a page of my
own for now.

I have one program up there now (ooze-seq-sync01) which began as an
experiment in syncing the PSIM (acting as a sequencer) to external gear
like my Fat Controller & Mobius to provide a master clock.

I have several programs 75% done which are far more interesting, but are
based on this one's sync ability.  As I worked on them late Saturday
(~3am) my head was spinning with ideas, like a kid in a candy shop... 
one idea led to another... then a tangent... then an improvement... then
another tangent... :)

I had trouble getting trigger signals to reliably sync, so I'm working
with gates.  I also prefer gates because the length of a gate can have
such a huge influence on the resulting sound.  Anyway, I've tested this
with my Fat Controller (as a gate/tempo provider) at its entire range of
tempo and it never loses a note or hiccups.  Same with the Mobius; it
links up rock solid.

Try out the program and let me know if you have any ideas for
improvement.  Like I said, I'm working on a lot of different programs
that use this one as a "core" and I welcome any
thoughts/ideas/improvements you may have!

Cool!  Man, when was the last time I sat up till 3 AM programming 
BECAUSE I WANTED TO?!?  Can't wait to get mine.

BTW< I especially liked the second part of the sample.  And the 
comments of the code had an intriguing phrase: "use keyboard to play 
rhythm while PSIM plays notes".  Sync'd I imagine, right?

Mike, nervously pacing ideas percolating...

Experimental Breath/Wind Controller sending CV into the PSIM-1 that is
sampling and quantizing then converting to MIDI notes sent to a Roland SC-7.
No effects added other than fade-in and fade-out.  This is recorded straight
out of the Roland SC-7.

This was a TEST and not meant as a true composition.  Mozart I'm not!
hehehe  Is there any interest in a breath/wind controller for the PSIM-1?
Actually, it can be used to control anything that has a CV input.  Blowing
into it increases voltage while sucking reduces voltage.

Comments please...
