Re: advice on getting a recording mixer
I've just got a second hand Yamaha DM1000 that would fit your bill. All the inputs and outputs can be configured as sends or inserts or bus or aux so you can route things to other things through other things. It has 48 channels, 8 bus and 8 aux, 4 band parametric EQ, compressors and gates on every i...

Re: Music Thing Modular – Workshop Notebook
My favourite lab notebook is made by HIG and has a plasticated cover and a clear bookmark thing. I got it when I worked for German company a few years back. I've never been able to find more of them and the internet doesn't turn up much. Anyone know where to find them?

Re: Open source being used commercially
It is all because those darn talented software engineers just won't work for free. Loads of people get paid by commercial software companies to develop open source code, myself included. Even Microsoft pays it's engineers to contributes to open source. https://www.cnet.com/news/paid-developers-powe...

The BA662A is an Operation Transconductance Amplifier not an OpAmp. That would make it a substitute in circuits that use things like the CA3080 or LM13600. You can see one used here in an SH-101 VCA. Note the pin one input via a transistor. Also the buffer on pins 7 and 8. The LM13600 has a similar ...

I imagine this would work similarly using a DUAL PRC, too? (this is great by the way and not something I would have thought about because operating on the false assumption that gates are fixed values and that's that seemingly leads one to some degree of stultification) Yeah a DUAL PRC would allow s...

You can run the outputs of the gate sequencer into a mixer and you get a cv sequencer. not exactly, because it's one output at a time, so it won't do anything interesting through a mixer - but your idea works nicely with a pulse divider though, in case you miss a sequencer Since only one step is on...

I'd think you would want to breadboard that circuit, in which case it would be a piece of piss to try both approaches.

The Hypercard doesn't have a battery. They mention that because the original Yamaha Data cart did have a battery. This has nothing to do with the cell battery inside the DX7. You should replace the cell battery otherwise your DX7 will boot up with garbage internal presets, non 440Hz tuning, weird mo...

Yep. I used 12v for the phantom power. Not ideal but worked with my mic. Does that work with a U87 or something requiring 48V? Most mic's spec the phantom supply voltage they need and quite often it is less than 48v. There are standards for phantom at P12, P24 and P48 and some mic's support all thr...

Pinouts in the service manual. https://archive.org/details/yamaha_cx5mu_service-manual I'd drill a hole in the case and solder in an rca out from the composite pins. You can connect it directly to the yellow rca input on a television. I've got the australian one that has the rca output already there.

I recently got a schertler jam 100. It's a bi-amplified acoustic amp but it sounds sweet on my jazz box guitar. It mounts on a PA stand, has a DI out and comes in a bag that I can sling over my shoulder while carrying my guitar case in the other hand. I find tube amps are way too heavy if you gig ou...

Sure. I'm just giving some reasons why full range 14bit messages are not commonly sent for midi controllers. Another issue to deal with is noise. The higher the bit depth, the more noise is an issue. If you are using a 14bit ADC to sample the potentiometer then the least significant bit is going to ...

There would be stepping regardless of the resolution. The midi data rate is low enough that if you get 14bits from a control, you will not be able to send all the individual values over a sweep unless it is very slow. For example, sweeping CCW to CW would require 16384 x 6 byte messages, but the max...
