idiotcountry2 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Anyone in EU have one of the Droid-3 synths compare it to the MIDIbox FM synth?http://abildgard.com/en/droid-3/tm Quote
idiotcountry2 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Posted July 19, 2005 I agree it's too expensive. Just wondering if the MIDIbox FM synth and the Droid-3 have some sound/operating similarities. Wondering if one could 'make' an Droid-3 out of their MIDIbox FM synth ;Dtm Quote
illogik Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Hi,The droid is not a FM-synth, is it ??? (still sleeping) and i think the way it synthesizes sound is closer to the MBSID(modulation matrix, "analog" modelling). This of course doesn't say anything yet about their actual sonic possibilities, but still. cheers, marcel Quote
idiotcountry2 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Posted July 20, 2005 Ah, interesting. I thought in an attempt to mimic 8-bit video game sounds they must be using some sort of FM synth architecture. Quote
DRÄPPEL Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 looping envelopes sounds like an awesome function Quote
AndrewMartens Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 I'm working on a PIC-as-synth-chip design that basically uses a second PIC (connected to a MBHP_CORE module via SPI) as a synth chip. I'm taking inspiration from wavetable synthesis (Digisound, Wiard), the SID, Jarek's AVR Synth, and the Droid-3. Info in this thread: http://69.56.171.55/~midibox/forum/index.php?topic=3713.0The advantage (assuming I get it working happily) is that one could use a readily-available 28-pin SDIP PIC18F252 (or similar) as a synth - no needing to source SIDs or FM chips or anything. If this works I'm going to have the source and binaries for download so that someone can make a MBHP_ module out of it, so it won't cost hundreds of dollars. Quote
