Re: Cv/gate/midi

@chysn Ok now, if by some chance you could possibly pull off ardruino or similar microcontroller this would be most attractive. Many machines that use the iec port also use the same kernel routines. Software could be written to be compatible as well. With the exception of separate note tables for in...

Re: Cv/gate/midi

(This digital interface could also be an IEC thing, so then we could use KERNAL routines like CHRIN and CHROUT to send and receive CV and MIDI. This might actually be an awesome approach.) I've been considering this as well. My research has not gotten that far yet and how the drive port actually fu...

Re: Cv/gate/midi

Or on the line out if I can't rely on the voltage of the io pins. Maybe I could wire the 5v out to 8 transistors. Each transistor wired to an io pin and then out to the appropriate resistance.

Cv/gate/midi

Now that I am to the point of developing some serious music software for the vic I would also like to produce/use cv,gate and possibly midi options. Cv/gate lines preferable to me personally over midi but I understand the attraction so I would like to shoot for some level of midi support as well. On...

Re: MINI SYNTH

There is initial investment required, but not tons. ... You have me convinced. I have a couple of diy kits coming in the mail so I can get some practice soldering before I undergo building my own carts. I am also looking into including cv/gate in and out (Preferably as a separate peripheral so it c...

Re: MINI SYNTH

I’ll have to look into Mospeed, I’ve never heard of it. I think the best format for music software is cartridge. Then it becomes feasible to use it live. That’s part of the reason I think it should be designed from the ground up for performance. I agree, and the mini synths big sister will likely b...

Re: MINI SYNTH

@chysn I've been thinking about this... There really is no reason that I could not run the editor from the play screen. It may still require a key press to shift between edit and play modes (but not necessarily) so the player does not lag. I'll have to redesign the play screen a little but taking aw...

Re: MINI SYNTH

I just tested release and sustain being held when set to 255 and they are not working. Adding to bug list.

Re: MINI SYNTH

Hey, I think you're on the right path here! Here are a few off-the-cuff suggestions after about 15 minutes of playing with it:... Thank you for the feed back. (1) I designed this after all the synths I have worked with where the sustain phase fades away to 0 for the sustain duration until the key i...

Do modern clones and projects count? Ie the 64 mini or the x16.
