  1. The U-2 Incident 1960
  2. i think the 74 is a cool sort of IC , can be building block for LP HP BP ... a new old stock went for 57 GBP :O, I wouldnt keep it , besides, use google
  3. I told pitjes exactly this, what I can only second now: I would rather buy it thru ebay, than writing my name here and there, because at least paypal provides some fraud-turn-back.
  4. of course vintage stock is long gone, but stuff for the electribe has to be there for some time.
  5. given the large scale amount of electribes and their hands on nature, I bet they store large stock of these colourful pimples : )))
  6. Im not in a war, just what I think is, that these "nice illuminated buttons" cost just as much as their "nice" factor (imho: next to 0 ) . Maybe you should try Korg for spareparts? Do I say something wrong? :P
  7. not to mention it looks just like those ugly4$$ korg electribe-s, bleh

  9. I have quite lot time in converters... I can tell you, that the 300Eur DAC with 20bit 384fs bitstream DAC is nowhere close to a real multibit r2r, as far quality goes. Look for digidesign quad or " digidesign 442 ". Simple structure, CS8412, SM5813, AD1860 , for laughable amount of money, needs minor PCB surgery / parts replacement. You can buy the PCM4222 EV-kit from TI , its 150Usd , so you have both ADC/DAC , and spent less than 250Eur. :) Multibit r2r ladder DAC have a good side opposed to delta-sigma topology: tolerating lot more jitter , resulting from consumer grade spdif transmission.
  10. try to get AD 1851, / ..56 / ..61 . Or PCM 56. Rest are dire / unobtanium. AD wont give you samples. If you not succeed , and youre definately addicted , I'll help ;D. There are adapters for oversampling IC and digital receiver chip from Hong Kong.
  11. I knew about this topic for some time now, but the usage (digital crossover) is I think better handled inside the PC, EQ-ing as well. However, now I find it srsly interesting because of all the source code there, and I tought of the vocoder purpose few days ago ;D http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1228748#post1228748 The TAS3108 is few pin dsp, can be directly hooked up to any kind of ADC/DAC, digital transmitter / receiver ( think of SPDIF or AES/EBU in/out with DIX4192) or codec chip like in the 4xD topic. http://www.homestudioprojects.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24
  12. well, just read the starting post ... *speechless :-X
  13. Hello, not much can be read about these, can you "dive" in a bit further? Im hell of interested in any type of XY pad groupbuy / sample (:
  14. ok your right, i only want to underline that vista is chance for PC not the deadline of migration, like most ppl want to beleive.
  15. im sure macintosh wants to be the HDMI workstation, no doubt about this. All this recent *we dont use copy protection any more* stuff. When vista is on way someone in NZ starts a webpage about this scary stuff , simple as f*ck, I think this way. I dont want HDMI, what I want is digital crossover network inside PC for my speakers, and 4 pieces of stable digital output. Obviusly , I cant afford new tweeters & stuff any time windows wants to play some glitch, no matter what. The utilities went into vista , like room correction & stuff seems to dictate MS cant afford it either.
  16. Its known vista features audio engine written from scratch. There are problems like this one ( copied from Lynx forum): "WMP uses WDM. We have encountered issues with clicks and pops in some WDM apps in Vista that are not related to buffer underruns (dropouts). Since the driver for XP and Vista are operationally almost identical, the issue appears to be most related to the poor PCI support in Vista. This is something we (Lynx) are working with Microsoft on. Certainly it is not always avoidable, especially with purchasing a new computer, but when possible we recommend sticking with XP until Vista SP1 is out." Cakewalk, developer of Sonar (PC only) also working with mS at this moment. Other particular problem is dire perfomance under 10 ms latency. I dont really care about copyright problems until I cna play vinyls & stuff recorded by myself. Who cares then there is always bootmenu and XP partition on hdd.
  17. Well, I asked at analogue solotions how much would it cost me to get a 909 snare module without front panel & pots, I would have to simply subtract 5 GBP from their price ~ funny somewhat. As I wrote I dont want the rest of the sounds either one. The Airbase with that playback from RxM would be nice , BUT those are not user waveforms afaik, saaaad.
  18. [glitchless] 95% cpu utilisation is not even at the door in XP. I bought a quite expensive (well not quite b/c ebay ;D ) Lynx soundcard with 2 tons of digital I/O, when I use not only a stereo pair that means additional CPU hit. The talk is that it takes yet 6 months to see it working nice, but even then, WaveRT wont turn into ASIO (in terms of spread). Who use it say its already lot more stable than XP was.

  20. i found an EV-kit at TI, 8chans of 16bit SAR adc for 50 usd. 100ksps, linearity is somewhat gross but for the price... maybey nice for CV processing, envelope follower stuff? It could also drive some metering program.
