Please check out this page on my site for what I am selling and for how much. I do sort of vaguely remember a pause
in the arp when changing direction, but didn't try to find it or change it in the code. At that time, I was trying to preserve the exact
behavior of their code. Could look at changing that, I guess.

Also, I should ask.. If you fully
recreated the key assigner, how much do you sell them for?
Chris here has just mentioned his! Thanks Chris!!! But Bob,
I do wonder if since you're so familiar with the
programming, you've noticed that there is a slight
timing lag when the arp starts coming back down after going
up. It was consistently annoying to me, but maybe it was
just mine. And possibly one had to be doing pretty long and
wide arp's to recreate the issue.. But it would reach
the top and upon restarting itself to come back down there
was like 30-50 msec delay before initial downward note
started. It would miss the downbeat. And it was a repeat of
the blast pitch so there'd always be a funny subtle
stutter at the top. Have you ever had that? It seemed like a
digital issue to me which is why I ask. Has anyone ever had
this?

Hmm. It was indeed on the west coast
until about 2010. But the MIDI board it had was inserted in
series, between the output multipin of keybed and original
input multipin receptacle at that point into pcb. So nothing
was actually removed. So maybe I have some names mixed up
here.

Well that's good news.
Please pardon my ignorance of your device this is for,
in
fact I think my old polysix was midi modd'ed by you
Bob
so i should know this already (i'd bought it from
someone who had it done by you).. But for what product
of
yours are you referring to? You have a replacement IC6 or
a
whole board?

You are incorrect in saying that noone has ever
extracted the Poly Six key assigner code.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, my PIC code is a
direct
port of that code. I take the 8049 instruction
and map it to the equivalent PIC instruction. I did
have
to add a little delay in a few places as the PIC is
much faster, but aside from that it's the same. I
also
added MIDI note on and off, but that was a pretty
small change.

Thanks Florian,I'm
actually expecting the DIY arp to be a difficult
situation
but one worth pursuing, albeit with some patience and
no
guarantee it'll end up working.My setup
has
changed and i'm gearing up to abandon computers and
midi
altogether. To play the arp, i'll be wanting to
create
a
miniature keyboard using dozens of small momentary
buttons,
and then (and i know this might be tough) have the
output
of
the arp able to go to monosynth cv/gate. It would of
course
be nice to be able to have the output be switchable
between
V/oct and H/V, but V/oct would be preferred if only
one.
However is that's accomplished, external conversion
would be possible at that point.
When i used the arp on the polysix,
i almost always just set the synth into "monosynth
mode" which was just by using the chord function
for
just one note. Then it would only ever trigger the same
voice over and over. So this would be the goal for the
diy
arp circuit, to create a purely trigger/cv/gate
situation
but only ever for one voice at output. I don't even
have
a poly synth anymore.
And as for the tuubutec arp
situation, and others, i'm pretty sure that the IC6
program information has never been extracted by anyone.
So
all of the arps out there are approximations, probably
including the korg plugin. They may be close, and
probably
all awesome in their own regards. And maybe i'm
naive
to
think that the original is superior since i haven't
actually used the Kiwi/Tubbu/etc versions and they
definitely have wonderfully committed designers behind
them.
But it's worth trying to resurrect an original
since
i'm already in love with the darn thing. call me a
romantic.

Hello J,
you are of course right about how wonderful the
arpeggiator
in the P6
is, but still there is the question: what
soundgenerator
do
you want to
control with it? You have to rebuild the complete
Voiceboard
including
the VCOs!
The CPU and the D/A converter output a multiplexed
"nearly V/Oct"
voltage without any trimming. If you control a normal
CV-Synth with this
voltage, it will sound like "cats chant"
(german
saying). The trimming
happens within a common exponentiator for all voices
and
then is
demulitiplexed as six V/Hz voltages. The VCOs of the P6
are
V/Hz (this
is, why the P6 is that amazing stable in relative
tune).
If you want the P6-Arpeggiator and want it to send
MIDI-NOtes, then get
the tubbutec CPU for the P6 (https://tubbutec.de/modypoly/).
You may use
it nearly standalone and it will send the Arpeggio via
MIDI-Out and(!)
will read the notes from MIDI-In.
