Once again im working on syncing up evreything. It looks as if, for a multitude of reasons, i need to use my fostex as a master. START is only sent at the beginning of the track, at all other times CONTINUE is sent when play is hit on the fostex. It seems that the p3 will only te

Folks, I've had an email from the PCB makers to say the next run of boards have shipped to me, so with a bit of luck, I should start shipping PCB/CPU only kits, and PCB/CPU + Keyswitch kits next week. The cases are still 'work in progress', but should be ready soon. Price for the

ok, that's what I thought. (To Colin: I was just wondering wether you received my mail, concerning the order/payment for two kits. I don't want to rush you or anything, but I'm just asking because we've experienced some mailserver problems here, and sending mails was troublesome

Hi guys, Just wondering. Why are there in almost every design of the P3 four different colours of knobs for the pots used. Does that have a special reason, other than marking four groups of four, instead of a more obscure row of 16 ? reaaly looking forward to receiving the kit...

Hi Colin, I was browsing through your pdf-partlist for the P3 components, and was checking the Rapid Electronics website. I couldn't find one single component using the codes that I found in your pdf-file. for example 080-050 gives an error. Have their codes changed, or am I doin

So, could i use those nifty encoders with LED collars (you mean the ones like on the Nord Lead 3...?) on the P3 ? I just wonder. I really wouldn't mind paying what they cost. Colin, would the software of the P3 have to be adapted for that or not at all ? --- In analogue-sequencer

2005-02-15 by jitterbugbite2003
Ok, Colin, the reasons you give for preferring pots all seem to make sense. Indeed, most encoders are cheap sh*t, like the encoders on my yamaha A4000 sampler. They have rendered the control panel almost useless. contact spray doesn't help, so i'll probably solder some new ones W
