cool one, sneak!

I hadn't seen that one before - it's pretty obscure. I really like that it was 128 steps... who did you buy it from?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I bought it from the German guy who build & designed it. I believe there is only one unit existing and he sold it to me to fund his new project. It has some really cool and unique features..

Bratigel in german means something like roasted hedgehog smile

Nice one sneak!

Is that your custom sequencer to the left of the modular cabinet?

I think the clips on the net are made by its creator.. He also build other sequencers and as far as I recall he told me this was the only one made of this model but I'm not 100% sure.. Ill ask smile

Now I use the 1st row to control the CV/GATEs of the MS20, with the 2nd row I control the VCF of the juno60 and the bottom row to control the VCF of the MS20.. I can upload a picture of the interface/layout later if you like..

looks really cool Sneak! Are those casings common? I once bought a little home-made synth/noisebox based on an arcade chip in a same casing. I have no idea where it comes from or who build it.. (half the functions on that thing are unidentified cause the interface is incomplete..)

do you have any demo-video's of that cool stuff you've build?

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Whoa awesome sneak! Big fan of the Yamaha RM1x/RS7000 approach to sequencing here so the Sneaquencer looks like fun.  Great to see you put the source up as well.  I'd love to take a look at that.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Just sent my Roland JX-3P to a Tech. He'll install my JX-3P Kiwi Upgrade Kit incl. Chorus Mod.
This will make a new Super- Synth out of it (Jupiter 3??).
Referring to the tech, the new Envelopes are at least twice as fast as the old ones and the Range of the LFO's has been expanded too.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Bought an old Speck Project 316 EQ yesterday for 300. Neat EQ, nice albeit clean sound. Kinda felt it was needed since none of my line mixers have eq. Can do 3 bands for 16 mono channels or if you plug the output of an odd channel into the input of the adjacent even eq you can make it 6 bands for 8 channels.

Let me know if you want to see some of the newer code for it - I added external midi-sync and a couple other things. Keep in mind that most of it is pretty customized to my workflow, as you'll see in the code remarks.

That's a Teko Case - it's very common:

Yep, if the comments at the top of main.c didn't make it clear, the array of songnames certainly did.

If I ever get a handle on the source I do have I'll hit you up for the newer code.  I've never looked at a project like this before, and it's been a long time since I've written any C/C++, but so far I think I can see what's happening. 

Did you write the chunks of assembly as well?  That probably wasn't fun.  wink

The assembly midi libraries were all thanks to Thorsten Klose, the main developer of the open source MIDIbox platform: http://ucapps.de

I started from a very basic midi clock application then built it up from there. BUT let me tell you, writing C for embedded micro-controllers with 32kb of ram is wild. Not to mention, routines that would normally work on a pc will often fail because of various hardware constraints.

Re. using it: actually, if you take multi-track songs and cut them up, all you have to do is arrange the samples sequentially in any h/w or s/w sampler. Then my sneaquencer can easily address any song and parts thereof.

The beauty of modern s/w samplers is that some can do instant program changes and direct-to-disk streaming. So with the Sneaquencer playing, I can select any section of a different song, hit load and it will instantly drop in the mix. Since there are two separate songs that can be loaded, I can simultaneously mix various parts of two different songs... it's like having 2 RS7000's.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

I got a Roland S-550 sampler for free. says 110 volt on the backplate, so i guess i have to get some kind of converter for power... so i don't know if it's any good yet.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

another batch of Oakley modules:
2 x loopable ADSR/VCA, 2 VCLFOs tuned as VCO and 2 new version journeyman (korg 770) VCFs

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Very nice smile

Oakley is like the British version of Blacet - very well made, high-quality modules and also in kit format.

Re: What new booty have you acquired?

yeah its very good and reasonably priced 5U modular with a high standard of quality.
And also alot new types & upgrades of modules coming out from Oakley lately its amazing.

It sounds massive! The (minimoog clone)VCOs sound very cool aswell, way more fatter and thicker than the voyager ones smile The VC-LFOs sound very raw and in your face when used as VCO instead of LFO, about 6 octaves tracking via SilentWay and very compact VCO aswell
