Sasha Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I`d like to inform you about cool little project of my friend Aleksandar Krstic. It is inexpensive bassline synthesizer based on ATXMega32D4. Me and kokipsiho had a chance to get one of the prototypes. Bassboy is now available for ordering trough Mikroelektronika: http://www.mikroe.com/eng/products/view/658/bassboy/ Here is the picture of the my bassboy from the prototype series. Now it is changed a little bit. Aleksandar made a quick demo video... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebula Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nice! Is this a kit? Can you get crazy glitching/aliasing using extreme values? Do you have a secret desire to make a control surface? The price is awesome, but the shipping is crazy... I'm thinking about ordering a few and splitting the cost between some friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about glitching possibilities ... it is classical MIDI bassline synth. Control surface is in developing phase. Actually, I already have a working prototype. It is well known x0xb0x sequencer that I did for myself, and now we are planing to join the forces and create a CS for BassBoy so result will be something like digital x0xb0x based on parts that are easily available. I must say that Aleksandar is planing drum module as well based on same SSP (small synth platform) as he calls it. Yes, shipping price is high, but you know all problems I had when organizing x0xb0xes from Serbia. Ordering multiple BB is best way to save on the shipping significantly.

Flemming Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Lovely sound!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Great project and a very nice price! I guess that the CS will run on a second chip which sends the parameters to the "SSP" via MIDI? Is it possible to reprogram the chip, resp. to try code modifications? Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Yes, CS will be on another board/chip connecting with BassBoy and SQ303 a sequencer from x0xb0x. I`m afraid project is not open source, but I hope he will realized the benefits of OS projects, and will change his mind. I`m working on it. ;) Edited March 21, 2011 by Sasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosch Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 oh, cool. is there already an estimation when the controller will be available? will the controls be preconfigured (already soldered) or is it possible to use my own pots?

TK. Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 It could be directly connected to a MBSEQ V4, especially since a special 303 Edit view is available meanwhile. Parameters can be controlled from a dedicated Mixer Map, complete patches (stored on SD Card) could be sent from the SysEx menu :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Sasha Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sounds good. :)I wasn`t aware of 303 edit feature. Gotta check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0gmaz Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Very cool thing! Some more IO for example to connect multiple would be nice though :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
