[ensoniq doc voice chip]

i have plenty of spare doc synth chips

and was wondering in interfacing this chip with midibox as hardware control of it and making a 4 osc 16 voice synth or a 16 voice drum machine using 8 bit samples

any one want to colaborate on ideas and possible interface for the e sync thats provided by the 8bit cpu motorola 6809

if you have the sam1 it reads dsm1 multisounds like the t1 does i could do you floppy images with omniflop and you could load them in with the sam1 and transfer to your new machine

I know it sounds lame, but my logic analyzer - another DIY project - broke down. Now I have two issues to solve. It's not forgotten!

i create korg format pcm files in a dsm1 sampler and then load them into my t1 and t3ex samplers

there is a limit of 100 samples and 1mb of 8bit memory which gives you 512k of 16bit sample memory

with the limit of 100 samples if you use the multisound format of standard korg multisamples they are in multipuls of 8 so you can get roughly 12 multisounds

this will give you the full range of the keyboard

but i have found that just using 4 multisound c4 c5 c6 c7 work fine so you can get 26 multi sounds on one pcm disk

now the difference with the sr is that it has a 2mb 16bit storage internal ram so that the card adapter is a pcmcia 16bit format card

the pcm data is the same format just that it can read more waveforms

they stick to the 32khz which allows them 1 octave pitch above root key

so whether you could do a dual card format

it should be easier for the pcmcia 16bit card adapter as its still in production and in use still as the card bus system uses it

i was toying with the same structure but with a fpga design with sdram cards and a switching circuit but could not fathom the card format

you having a sadok sam1 would make it easier

and hearing your own pcm samples with the synths engine is amasing as it sound sweet

but being able to do it in an m1 or wavestation is great as they dont have a pcm internal support like the t1 series did nore does the o1w which to me they went backwards as they did it in there t1 series and should of kept it and expanded it as they were going it was not until the trinity did they bring it back
