Dude, that's not the way you play the litigation game!

Is there any copyright on green and brown? :D I know you're being tongue-in-cheek but some territories do have 'design rights' however they tend to be much shorter durations (typically no longer than 25 years if I remember correctly) and do tend to be very specific. there is also a more general ...

Have you considered the Sonifex SC-2? https://www.sonifex.co.uk/redbox/rbsc2_ld.shtml It synchronises two free-running stereo digital sources to a common output clock. And you could hook up more boxes to synchronise more channels.... But it doesn't have a mixing function and it costs close to £1k. ...

I think it's more just that manufacturers check for anything I actually want, and ensure that it is cancelled, just to wind me up. I swear supermarkets did this for years too, unlike I stopped using their loyalty cards and letting them track what I'd been buying. Even Waitrose cancelled their ...

I very much doubt it - all interfaces that I know of ask you to select the clock source and then clock everything from that one source. Hidden SRC is usually considered a bad thing (unless you are talking about a DAC where the end result is an analogue signal). Yep, and this SSL18 has a Word Clock ...

It's what the Yamaha Corporation's lawyers will make of it that interests me. Could this be the one that finally lands Uli Behringer in jail?

Does that new SSL-18 interface do sample-rate conversion on its digital inputs? (One coax SPDIF, two ADAT, one of which is swirchable to optical SPDIF) https://solidstatelogic.com/products/ssl-18

I read the SoS review and the user manual and was none the wiser.

Well I wondered about that earlier in the thread, if you read up... :beamup: Although reading Roger Linn's comments about the Behringer LinnDrum today, it rather makes one wonder how Behringer manages to price these things so cheap.... makes me suspect if their build quality wouldn't be just as crap ...

I sat down for about an hour and a half last night, trying to compare all the features and gubbins of these two gizmos (MRCC vs mioXL). This is not easy as the MRCC does not even appear to have a user manual (ffs!) and so you have to harvest info from scrolling around its 'mobile optimised' website ...

I literally came here to post that!

A magnanimous & dignified statement,
although reading between the lines it says "Uli Behringer is a **** and if I could afford a good lawyer I'd sue his ass"

I'd say that you are being a bit pessimistic here - while there are certain electronic devices that have known failure mechanisms which shorten their life, there are many components that will still be as good as new after 50 years or more. Since they still seem to be working, you've probably gone ...

If you can find one on eBay or Reverb, the 20x20 Sycologic MIDI Matrix was always a well-designed, robust patchbay unit. Yeah but the Function Junction Plus was also well-designed and robust - it's just that these devices are now respectively 35 and 25 years old, which is longer than the intended ...

But you are booting up a computer - that's exactly what the FJ is! You could use a general purpose computer to do the same thing if you were disciplined enough to not load up all kinds of other software on it. Maybe a couple of multi channel interfaces hooked up to a Raspberry Pi running Jack (or ...

Since MIDI only requires two conductors and a screen, you could use a TRS jack bay? Electrically, this would probably be 'unwise, but not illegal' :headbang: (the design of the MIDI hardware standard very sensible uses optoisolators to avoid earth loops...) However it would only provide 1:1 routing ...

I don't know given the renaissance of retro synths etc why nobody seems to make these now, at least at higher channel counts. You would think seeing some of the more bonkers products in SOS recently ( the amp that cost several grand with gratuitous lights and stuff for instance, not to mention the ...

As a once owner of a FJ+ too, I feel your pain. It was a device ahead of its time in some ways. The software never met its full potential. Yeah the FJ+ can do a *LOT* of processing and filtering of MIDI data... to be honest, I've never really used that functionality - I am more interested in just ...

Readers, my Audio Architecture Function Junction Plus (a formidable 16-DIN-in, 16-DIN-out MIDI patchbay from 1989 - see https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/function-junction/7331 ) has broken down for the second time in 2 years :( And whilst Synth Prof got it working again the first time, I fear we ...

You might as well ask what is the point of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFBGXgnCFmY

I *DEMAND* that Sound on Sound records a shoot out video of a rich person playing the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave versus a poor person playing the Behringer clone (and an old person playing an actual PPG) and so we can all hear once and for all whether Behringer is complete pants.

So, who is going to pay four thousand bucks for two inputs? Well, reading Hugh's review in the current SOS issue, it's only got a stereo analogue in, but it does offer a few permutations of digital inputs — and (unless I'm very confused) it offers sample-rate coversion and lets you mix the whole l ...

Yay, just the ticket!

In which case I'd use the right tools for the job - proper scope probes. I'm sure they have the place, but honestly I think crocodile clips seem handier for most of my machines? They generally have little 'test point' hoops or hooks on the board, which are ideal for snapping with a crocodile clip ...

Yes I could do that but it will fall to bits in 5 minutes and manage to be even more of a mess than the insides of the 40 year old analogue synths I'm trying to calibrate

I knew someone would say that
