I've been messing about with PaintShop Pro... http://www.colinfraser.com/p3/p3-case-fake.jpg This style of case would be designed to have wooden ends attached so it could sit on a desk, or L-brackets attached so it could rack mount. Output sockets and power connection would be re

Whilst looking at the round switches in the rapid catalogue, i noticed that the same manufacturer also does switches with an led in them. I didnt read too far, as i suspected there was no facility to fit dual colour leds to the buttons, and, plus the switch board at present would

Hi list, I'm new here since a couple of days. I recently ordered a prebuilt P3 from Colin. I have checked the pics of other P3 users, and although some of them are really beautiful (Paul Maddox/Cikira, the completely red one, eg), none of them are really to my liking. I especiall

Hi Colin, I myself would never like a rack mounted sequencer, but there are others who love them... The option to change between the two would be good, but then would too many compromised have to be made with sizing? I went for the hammond (with wooden cheaks) for my p3. Because

Folks, I'm looking for some opinions on the various case options for P3 so I can simplify life by standardising on a single case design. I'm planning to have cases machined and engraved or screen-printed from scratch by a specialist manufacturer, rather than using the Hammond cas

2004-05-01 by Stoffel
Hi Colin, it is amazing how fast you react. I installed your beta version, but it made just a little improvement. If the P3 receives a continue, now it really continues, from where it stopped before, but sometimes it is shifted by one click. But the Problem of Logic is, that it a
2004-04-30 by colinfraser_com
I tracked down the cause of the sync loss on continue, which was down to some tidying up of the sequencer status in the stop_sequence routine that was added to prevent problems if you selected a new part chain then stopped the sequencer before it became active. I've posted a buil

Hi Colin, i got some strange midi-sync things going on. Last week i synced the P3 to a laptop with LogicAudio as MidiMaster and the P3 as MidiSlave. Sometimes the sync was ok, sometimes the P3 was out of sync. I couldn't figure it out then, but today i made some tests, and here i

Folks, I've got a customer for a ready-built P3 who'd like to use bigger knobs with a wider spacing, like Bennie's custom job or Robert's Stooge panel type layout. There's an awful lot of wiring involved if the switches, LEDs and pots are mounted off the PCBs, so I was contemplat

Hi Colin, I think there is a problem with the AuxD Acc. I think it is not counting up properly. I set on Step1 AuxD Rel +1 but it seems like it is adding more. Or it is a problem with the MaskGate > AuxD Comparison, I don't know. I also tried AuxD Abs with Values between 1 and 8
