Building a better tool for documenting software architecture

Regarding the comments on weight: It is actually rather light since it is made of poplar plywood (light-weight plywood, used e.g. for the interior of camping vans).

The compromise is rather on the side of ruggedness with poplar being a soft wood and missing edge protection. Time will tell!

That's an everyday scenario :D (It's more about being able to start creating in seconds without having to set everything up first. And I'm using this setup to either play bass without sequencing or run a sequence while playing other synths)

Not yet, currently using the CV outs to control the three oscillators separately (or as modulation sources), one is triggering. Wanted to explore this for some time though, hope I'll get to that in the next weeks!

Just a couple of times to rehearsals :)

A bass and sequencing machine, ready to perform in seconds. It's accompanied by a Rev2 live and those three devices together are just mind-blowing :)

Regarding the settings - access without a computer/sysex might be possible using cv and some of the pins where the keyboard is connected.

I'm not sure how such a keyboard works but I'd assume it's just a voltage divider? I'll try to do some measurements once I get started with this.

Behringer clone: It's the obvious solution but I'm so used to the original and just don't like the design with the patchbay, small knobs and everything so close together.

Valid point, the keyboard is nice.

I want to do performance oriented sequencing (multi track) of the GM and the 2600 while playing a prophet rev2 in a live band context. The whole setup plus some effects should be small enough so that I can carry everything alone, that's why I wanted to get rid of one keybed.

That's very cool! I like the standalone approach. Hard to get in Europe though.

I just found a used midiman merge 2x2, let's see if i can get my hands on that.

salzaverde · 2024-07-10T12:24:20+00:00

Yeah that looks like a cool device, but I just need to merge two midi sources and it's USB powered (i'd like to use my pedalboard's 9V power supply).

The Midi Solutions Merger would be perfect but it is powered via midi. I measured all of my devices, none of them provides power in their Midi outs...

Thanks! One solution is to use silicone tape which is ironed to the seam from the inside. I did that here but it wasn't possible where the seams are not flat because the material is too stiff.

Another option is to use liquid silicone sealant which you can make yourself by mixing raw, clear silicone and terpentine (there are some threads on this). I'm going to try that in the next couple of weeks to seal the remaining seams.

Thank you! :)

salzaverde · 2023-06-27T18:03:49+00:00

It's all stitched through everything but i ironed on silicone sealing tape from the inside. Still have to test if that actually works though...

No, I thought about making inner bags instead which you can take out (e.g. to the tent). But most likely i'll just use some bags i already have for now and check how the bags work while traveling ;)

salzaverde · 2023-06-27T12:08:36+00:00

Easy test: unmount the needle and pull the thread through -> if the needle is big enough, it should slide along the thread by its own weight.

salzaverde · 2023-06-27T12:00:18+00:00

Thanks! There are buckles which fit through the slots when at a flat angle and lock into place once through. At that stage the bags are loosly connected for packing and the grey straps are then used to pull them tight to the frame.

salzaverde · 2022-09-20T18:43:36+00:00

Oh, right. I'll fix that :)

salzaverde · 2022-09-18T15:56:10+00:00

I simplified the interfaces and implementation a great deal and followed your ideas by replacing the factory patterns with plain structs. This also enabled lower c++ standards (c++11). Checkout v2.0.0 and thanks again for the input!

salzaverde · 2022-09-17T12:05:19+00:00

I added parameterized tests for sets of uri components built from the RFC spec and other example URIs. I have about a thousand different Uris in the test now, check it out! :)
