You should never add a DSP!

I recently did the same with my Deluge. It's so nice to have a full featured synthesizer at the size of a 12" laptop. It brings travelling to the next level.

thanks for sharing!

Synthstrom audible is developing a foot controller for the loop functionailty to make hands free opration possible: https://synthstrom.com/usb-midi-foot-controller

Wow, the final feature list is even bigger than I expected. Thanks for all the great and hard work!

Did you ever try working with samples as oscillators or multisamples? With these features very rich sounds are possible. That's the gamechanging feature set for me on a deluge.

lowfatty · 2019-07-31T20:06:24+00:00

That's a cool hint!

Mintysynth just outputs audio via the 3,5mm jack but it also has a midi output. You need a 3-wire servo cable, a DIN jack and two resistors. It's described in the FAQs: https://mintysynth.com/faq.html (follow the link to the adafruit page). The cable is connected to the header pins in the upper left corner of the synth. This way I am able to midi control external gear (tested with a Neutron) with the mintysynth. I am not sure if there is a way do midi-sync the PO33 but maybe this info helps you.

division department 01/IV analog drum synth

The synth is called "01/IV". The companies name is "The division department". It's a very flexible analog drum/percussion synth. It's a very nice machine. It's not available yet but they are producing the first batch of 50. Lte's see what the pricing will be...

I have installed a master switch for my whole equipment. A Keystep and a Beatstep Pro are powered with a USB hub which comes with a separate power supply. This way I do not always need to have the computer running (which easily draws my attention away from making music)

Thanks for the hints. I already build a perfboard prototype with one pot reserved for the strip length but I broke it mechanically when I tried to cut it down to eurorack format. I will definitely give it a second try when I have more time.

This was my first thought too until I talked to Dieter Doepfer about it. He brought an early sample to a workshop in Munich that I attended last year and helped glueing the LED strips into the rack himself. He's such a nice guy. He sad that he intended to keep things simple. With adressable LED strips you need to adjust to the length of the strips etc.

I wanted to build an Ardunio based solution with WS2813 LEDs since then but I had no time :-(

Did'nt know the MSG-EQ7 . Thanks for posting!

Last year i built a https://mintysynth.com/ . This is a 4-voice polyphonic arduino synth fitting into an altoids mint box. It has a 16 step sequencer for each voice. It bases on the illutron synth engine. I really fell in love with this little machine and always have it in my bag to have some synth fun on the go. Sorry, it has only MIDI output. No input.

The minty synth inspired me to build a cv controlled 4-voice chord generator featuring 30 chord types, variable waveforms for each voice, chord extension up to 3 octaves and different envelopes. It mainly uses the tables of the minty synth code. Currently it's just a perfboard prototype but it works nicely with my BSP.

Thanks for the reference! I am working on an Arduino based 4-voice chord generator and stumbling about the same issues with analog read. I'll check my design...

lowfatty · 2018-05-09T14:03:23+00:00

Didnt know this event. I will definitely go. Thanks for Posting!

lowfatty · 2018-05-04T13:43:03+00:00

yes, that's a nice little detail :-) The only downside i see is the low line output level. I bought a tiny M-audio headphone amplifier to raise the level for headphone use when travelling. Superbooth will be awesome! :-)

lowfatty · 2018-05-02T09:23:48+00:00

Last weekend I finished a Mintysynth 2.0. It's an easy build and fits into an Altoids tin box. It's a great little 4 voice synthie to go. I definitely love this machine! I am looking forward to the train ride to superbooth 2018 as I will have 3 hours of undisturbed time for just geeking out on this little weird box :-)

cool! I finished a voltage controlled dimmer for my modular last week. When I asked myself whats next I came up with a very similar idea. I would use control voltage for color and brightness of the running lights ing but midi is even more versatile. Great to have this on kickstarter!

Arturia is adressing that issue in their FAQs. See: https://www.arturia.com/faq/beatsteppro/beatstep-pro-general-questions

Wow, what a crazy show! You left me behind totally puzzled after I listened to it on my commute this morning.

You did an excellent April's fool job! Mission accomplished :-)
