the fm tuner chip advertises "Worldwide FM band support (76–108 MHz)": https://www.silabs.com/audio-and-radio/fm-radios/si4702-03-radio-receivers and in the source code these compile-time constants are set and used throughout: #define MIN_FREQ 8750 #define MAX_FREQ 10790 so it should be possible to ...

still going, way slower than i wanted. fwiw i just did another beta release last week.

Not good. Was this deposit back when they were being made or recently? Story is that that friend split with the money or something along those lines.... back when the 259 was happening It’s my understanding from Dean that the person whom he trusted to help him assemble the 259s years ago started se...

yes, except instead of just mixing raw sinewaves the 400/700 use chebyshev polynomials so things sound more interesting.

I find that drawing the waveform manually is usually disappointing. I wonder how the waveshape editor works on the 700. the waveshaping on the 700 (and 400, touche, 259e, and probably other places i've forgotten) is based on drawing a transfer function for a sine wave (rather than drawing an actual...

No problem, I’m sure it’ll be great when you’re ready!

it's funny - i thought the dsp part would be the hardest but that was done a long time ago. dealing with cross-platform interface issues, weirdness in logic, vst2 vs vst3, auv3, etc takes way more time. who knew?

still working on it. i had a round of beta testing and i’m making some changes based on feedback. no hard release date at this point, sorry.

the hardware doesn't go up to 10v, there was a bug in the feedback resistor value for the dac output opamp. at the time it was more difficult to fix and make the previous revisions also work with a single software version so instead i changed the software to display the actual output voltage (previo...

Obviously you won’t have all the analog vcf’s and vca’s but do you plan on having these in software to recreate the full feature set? sure - there's a filter on each voice and there was an attempt made at adding a bit of crunch to emulate analog vcas. I hope it will work on older ipads and not just...

well, they probably still own the rights to the 100 series, maybe they're about to release their own line?

also random story: according to don, owsley was a carnivore and kept three separate fridges, one for meat, one for non-meat food, and one for acid. the acid fridge ended up at the b+a shop.

on the 200e don often hid cream cheese under the panels

Oh, it'll be perfect for those. Any word on when ID will be released? Jon? soon! it's feature complete, i'm currently writing patches and docs and figuring out my distribution plan. btw i'm using a sensel now in development to replace a seaboard block and it's great. pitch bend is so much better, i...

May I be the first to ask for MPE consideration! Great job! mpe support is already there: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/userpix2/942_group_1_control_settings_20190404_140347_1.png you can configure each group separately so group 1 can receive on channel 1, group 2 on channel 2, etc or have them...

That looks great. What control options are there for the various parameters - midi, OSC? so this gets complicated. short answer - the global controllers at the bottom of the screen are automatable by whatever host you run the plugin inside of. this is analogous to the 700's controller which only pr...

i've been working on this for a while and i'm close to releasing it. it's a software adaptation of the 700. more info here

the 222e touch surface was always intended to become a usb controller - the chipset used has an unused usb port, and in later models there was also another spot for a separate uc that did osc conversion (another project that worked but was never finished). also some versions of the board say "thunde...

exactly. but i think now that they are the same as the open couplers, which doesn't help a lot... still wondering who's responsible for right front channel of the section #2... will greatly appreciate any opinion! the led/ldr pairs under the plastic control the individual input channels. the ones t...

traffkin wrote:hey there! might sound obsolete, but does anybody know what cubic optocouplers are used in this "vactrol"-based version? i obtained old 227e and have some issues with the second channel's right output

do you mean the part number for the ldrs or what's underneath the 4 plastic covers?

you might check with joel: http://www.isproductions.com/joel/

the rings usually just need a new battery. joel may also have a line on lightning wands (which can be used instead of the rings and use regular aa batteries).

totally a design flaw. when i found out i tried to compensate in software, that's why the 250e/222e/223e don't quite go up to 10v. i couldn't do the same trick on the 225e though because the cpu was already overtaxed and couldn't handle the math. the oscillators track pretty well when using the inte...

Mostly because B&A and BEMI give no access to the internal bus. What IMHO is a good policy to maintain things working. Some guys could think the oposite but.... It would be nice to have a PR with presets though. brain dump time. the bus is pretty simple - quite a few people have figured it out on t...

the audio section is analog (via a grid of 2164's), the cv section is digital (via the silabs 310 crappy onboard 10bit adc). if the cv section was also done with 2164's it would be a lot more useful. it would also probably be too deep and pull too much power. one of the other problem with the cv sec...

somewhere i have mockups of the 258e - it never got to engineering, just ui. it was going to have 4 analog oscillators with waveshapers (2x sine -> saw and 2x sine -> square) and built in normalization of fm so you could do some 4 operator fm stuff. the idea was to make a 4 voice system with the 258...
