The CT2770 does not have the chips... The 2770 is the SB16 Value

YES I couldn't agree more..... It's a very hard one this. I don't know if I would want all that attention floating around here, it could be a REAL pain............ But then again TK and his design, Smash, and the tireless hard work of everyone involved, deserve the bloody credit!!! This kind of publicity could end up with TK being paid to do his hobby, which would surely be a lovely thing for TK. So I will volunteer to deal with any 'Maven Madness' that may ensue, as my way of saying thankyou to TK. The bastards.... I just woke up, and now I'm GRUMPY! Â >:( >:( >:(

Heheheh bloody Aussies ;) I thought it looked a little different...Still do...Just can't figure out why :)

It should be in the MIDI spec for the device. Hope this helps :)

I know that movie, My g/f says it's Johnny Mnemonic :) I always loved that scene :) It looks super cool!! By the way, this is already possible using existing VR gear :) Oh, I understand the idea of being innovative, I just don't think this is.... I mean, a standard windows install, with multiple mice, and a projector, could have the same kind of effect. Have you seen my sequencer project elsewhere on the board? Have you ever seen a sequencer that is built for realtime performance which allows for standard composition, algorithmic composition, polyrhythms and polymeters, programmable interaction betwen musical elements, remote control, non-linear (loop based) or linear (track based) song design or both combined, non-standard note length (for eg 11th notes) and partial or entire tempo multiplication/division including prime division and multiplication, blah, blah, blah... It includes many features not seen elsewhere, and certainly never all of these features in one machine (correct me if I'm wrong please, I want one!). But none of the ideas are new, so I wouldn't call it innovative... Maybe the combination of those ideas is an "innovation", but if you ask me it's a natural progression, not innovation. And ah, Bob Moog, all respect due, was far from the first person to think of a different way to make things make sounds. Ever since people decided to strap skins over hollow logs rather than bang sticks and/or bones together, or to use metallurgy to create wind instruments with movable keys, or to use magnetic coils to detect the movement of metal guitar strings, or use electronic componentry to manipulate and amplify electric signals, people have been using the tools at their disposal to make noise. Look at the didgeridoo. Just 200 years ago it was never seen or heard. But it's been around for over 30000 years. It's cool, but...yeh... I guess this gets into a whole different kettle of fish... If you take this theory to the extreme, then in fact nothing really completely differs from anything else at all, seeing as it all comes from a big bang or whatever, if you take it back far enough. It's all really a natural progression. The way I feel is that humans tend to think that what they are and what they do is really special, and I think it's a matter of the human ego getting in the way of the facts: Who they are and what they do is just that - Who they are and what they do. Do crows who learn to crack open nutshells with stones dropped from a height run around going "damn I'm good"? of course not! Do monkeys that put a twig in an antsnest to get food beat their chests and claim greatness? Of course, as with all things, we tend to draw a line somewhere, and that's subjective. It may be because we are taught from age nil to differ between one thing and another, rather than to see the similarities between them. The physical realm is an analog system where absolutely nothing is identical, and even this fact means that everything is also the same - it's different to everything else. Once again, the result of the human ego. Just read my post from earlier this evening talking about DJ Sasha's lack of talent. Of course, that's a comparison between him and another hypothetical muso, and perhaps that my ego becoming involved in that manner, was the reason that after I clicked "Post", I sat and stared at the post for several minutes wondering if I really felt that what I was doing was morally right. In retrospect, I still can't help but feel that there are more talented DJ's out there, and I guess that if I completely lived my philosophy, I would realise that no DJ is really doing anything completely new, and so one DJ is the same as another. But of course nothing is entirely the same or entirely different, and everything will always change, so to draw a line like you and I have done is most probably foolish. In the end, it comes down to individual opinion. You think it's innovation, I dont. But we're both making a call on something that's really silly, because it's not tangible, it only exists in our own head. I don't really know where I stand on this kind of thing. But do I need to? Perhaps this is just another example of natural progression. Now we need to go to alt.philosophy or something heheheh ;D Sorry for going OT... or was it OT? ;D

Hahahaha that's putting it in clear terms ;D

Yeh I don't know, I saw this thing a while back but it just didn't impress me much to be honest... You'd have to spend so much time coding for the GUI.... It looks really good in those demos and all, but if they wanted to do a different set it would take more coding than it's worth in my opinion... and heck, if I wanted to reach out and grab something and slide it around on a flat surface... I'd use a mouse :) I think that sometimes people let their nerdiness get in the way of the point of all this, which is to make music... I think? Just my opinion, but I understand others will feel differently!

Hehehehehe I was surprised that Peter Vogel hasn't learned from the mistakes of those who have made fools of themselves before him (most famously probably Bill Gates with the 64k RAM comment) when he said this: Hehehehe

Wow cool, got a link to that projector?!

Perhaps yes, I think it does :) it's a badge of honour mate ;D

Badass ;D

Lookin' good mate :) From my experiences with photographing graffiti, I know that the way to avoid the reflection from the flash (flashburn) is to take the photo from an angle so that the flash reflects away from the camera. Hope that helps.

Ahhhh some VERY interesting mods there moxi!! I think she's pretty :D I'm about to go to work, but I will be asking questions for sure! ;)

Exactly. Because the highest bit is never used, there are only 7 bits used. in binary, the most you can you can have is 1111111 The way it works is this... If the byte is all 0's, that's 0. Thats nice and easy :) The 1st bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 1 in decimal when it is set, or on, or a '1'. However you like to say it The 2nd bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 2 in decimal The 3nd bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 4 in decimal The 4th bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 8 in decimal The 5th bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 16 in decimal The 6th bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 32 in decimal The 7th bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 64 in decimal The 8th bit, from the right hand side, is equal to 128 in decimal So you see, the decimal value doubles each higher bit You then add up the value of any bits that are 'set' - the one's. So 00000001 is 1 00000010 is 2 00000100 is 4 ... 10000000 is 128 but in this case we don't use bit 7 - and 00000101 is like 4 AND 1 (see just above), so that's 5 00000111 is like 4 AND 2 AND 1, so that's 7 00010001 is like 1 AND 16, so that's 17 10000000 is 128 10000001 is 129 10000010 is 130 Maybe this helps... So anyway, because this is a computer not a human, the counting starts with 0, not with 1. As you know, we don't use bits 7 or 3. This is counting from 0. So we never use the 8th bit from the right - bit7, or the 4th from the right, bit 3. The far right bit, the "1st" bit, is called bit 0, because we're counting from zero, not one. so this means that the highest you can go with 7 bits is like this: 01111111 If you grab the calculator of your choice, and convert from binary to decimal, you will find that this is 127 decimal. This allows 128 different settings, including zero. I hope this helps, and doesn't confuse matters further. I have had alcohol to drink for the first time in years tonight, so this may be completely incomprehensible! More sake and moet please!! ;D ;D

That is so funny, I went to adjust the post and I even said in there: Notice C2 was correct, but 1 was not? LOL! :D I converted it from 5 bit to 8 bit by tacking the 000 on the *end* for some strange reason hahahahaaaa *slaps himself* I didn't even notice it said 6-4, i just assumed it was 3-7 for some fricken weird reason. Regarding windows calculator, you can do that, but you have to make too many clicks to get a quick answer. There's calculator.org too for that kinda thing. Anyway, just to clear it up, here it is, correctly this time! (with examples to clear it up for those new to binary, which you'd think I was today!) XXXXX001 = Enable XXXXX010 = Sync assigned XXXXX100 = Sync all X000XXXX = Sine X001XXXX = Triangle X010XXXX = Saw X011XXXX = Pulse X100XXXX = Random 00010001 = Enable & Triangle 00010101 = Enable & Sync & Triangle 00010011 = Enable & Sync Assigned & Triangle 00110001 = Enable & Pulse 01000011 = Enable & Sync Assigned & Random Note bit 3 & 7 (read from the right)never get used Just to show how tired I am, in this tiny post, I have made over 32 typing errors!!! 6 in this sentence alone! I'm really sorry if I've caused any confusion. If I get it wrong this time, someone pelase shoot me so I get some sleep for a change!

Man I need waaayyyyy more sleep, I can't think straight! This is what happens when you are working 70+ hours a week! ;D

Edit: ***PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST*** See below! And get sleep or you make silly mistakes which can fry your stuff sometimes!!!!!!! One other way you could read it is this: LFO1 Mode                 Bit 0: Enable LFO             Bit 1: Sync with assigned note events   Bit 2: Sync with all note events      Bit 3: Sine              Bit 4: Triangle            Bit 5: Saw              Bit 6: Pulse             Bit 7: Random   15h = 10101000 = 21 = Enable & Sync & Triangle 11h = 10001000 = 17 = Enable & Triangle other eg: C2h = 11000010 = 194 = Enable & Sync Assigned & Pulse 1h  = 00000001 = 1 = Disable & Random I was thinking the other day that it would be really nice if there was an app that had three text boxes, one for binary, one for hex and one for decimal... And if you type a number into any box, it converts the other two boxes as you type... I thought a +/- box would be good too... And bit shifting (left/right)...And an option with the binary to type from right to left like you read it.... Of course, it's very simple to program, I just dont have visual C on this machine... Isn't there an open-source c++ IDE/Compiler on sourceforge? Anyway there's this: http://www.aquariussoft.com/downloads/pc-binary-conversion-downloaded.asp .... it's nagware though, $14 to buy There's this freebie, very nice and simple, but no shifting, and rather limited: (also note the LCD character generator there, look familiar? :) ) www.everydaylogic.com There's some code here: http://www.marston-home.demon.co.uk/Tony/uniface/tip32.html And some theory here: http://www.janeg.ca/scjp/oper/binhex.html Google is your friend, this is everywhere... Hope this helps

Probably a bit late, but I found this: http://www.captain.at/electronics/pic-ram/ Would be MUCH slower of course.....

My mistake, I've never seen them in action! Sorry! :-X

Whats the point of a ledring with all the leds turned on? arent they usually used by turning on one led to show the position? ???

That is very neat and tidy, great job man! :)

You might need to learn some ASM code for this... But its a very simple alteration. There's the C wrapper, if you know C you could maybe do it with that, but it's experimental at the moment I think.

Good luck! :)

Great stuff TL :) Keep up the good work bro :)

NICE :) TK youre the man
