hello you! i'm bending some toy synthezisers and i was wondering if anyone knows anything about implementing cv/gate control functions or MIDI. if you have any good links or advice please share! :) |
||||||||
|

|
i'm no expert but midi kinda seems out of the question but then again i'm no expert |
||||||||

I suggest you check out what chip does the sound generation, then you google it and find out what input it takes for the notes and gating. Then you find a way to translate midi or cv/g into the signal it wants :) |

Good luck SM Pennyworth, and may god bless you and your adventures of the day. |

midi is into the question recycle: thanks :) i will make sure your special cd will have MUCH volumious contents. |

oh! |

You can get a PIC to do simple midi to CV/gate stuff. There are probably examples on the net. If you know a small bit of electronics or computers (like programming not powerpoint!) then get into PICs, they are simple to use and really useful. They are like tiny tiny computers on a chip, ideal for a bit of midi decoding. |

what can I do if I know powerpoint? |

make a lovely power point presentation with exciting wizzy effects and transitions, use a fantastic template to add a touch of class and use clip art to illustrate & improve your short paragraphs on each slide..... |
||||||||

|
what about word art? can I use that too? can I? can I? |

if the "=" was a little more cleaned up, that would be tolerated on this wet and rainy day |

LINK TIME! may be handy. Dunno. |

bingo! exactly what i was looking for. gawd! |

if it ain't broke, don't break it. |

Stay away from the processor chip... thats all I know. Well, I guess you need to use the processor chip in order to create a midi interface. I know a few of the people build synthesizers, and circuit bending is a regular hobby for them too. |
||||||||
|

Yeah, stay away from BIG chips with lots of small pins, these are usually RAM or ROM chips. Kill those and you'll never be able to use the product normally again. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i love messing with the processor chips, i don't intend to use the instruments normally again, anyway :) |
||||||||

|
Oh dear.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not just do what I said |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will do what you said. thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh dear what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That idea of just screwing with the ROMs purposely makes me shiver :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. You don't want to use it normally, thats understood. The fact that you are risking never using it at all unless its a paperweight, I think thats what the 'Oh dear...' meant. |
