KnORG Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was wondering if it would be possible to make a hardware controller for a VSTi like PHOSCYON of D16 ( http://www.d16.pl/index.php?menu=10 ) since this a almost perfect 303 emulator. I mean would it be possible to run a VSTi from a little computer like the Vmachine does and run a controller on top of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasrudin Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Hello KnoRG, generally, it is possible to realise your idea since the manual of Phoscyon promises the GUI to be fully controlable via MIDI. it also looks like that you can control the VST fully without using the additional menus - perfect. before buying the Vmachine you should checkout its compatibility with Phoscoyn, since compatibility is not guaranteed. my two cents: Buying all that stuff including the plugin will cost you more than 300 $. i dont know how well this VST sounds compared to an original TB303, however you could buy a x0xb0x DIY kit instead (very good constructed tb303 Clone) for around 290$, allowing you to have a real analog synth with modern features like midi etc. Cheers, Nasrudin Edited February 23, 2012 by Nasrudin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Is the x0xb0x kit still attainable? Last I checked on AdaFruit, some stuff was available, but not enough to actually build it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasrudin Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) i dont know about the supplies of adafruit, but x0xsh0p.de still sells complete kits (including rare parts). Edited February 25, 2012 by Nasrudin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ah right on, thanks for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasrudin Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) psst, a hint for you: x0xsh0p.de has a limited offer about 10 9 kits for only 240 €. checkout ebay ;-) (this is no advertisment but a tip, because i know about the high prices of the rare parts) Edited February 26, 2012 by Nasrudin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
