Indeed, why would you do that?

Hmmm. Ferrite core designed to run at around 100kHz. Gonna be pretty lossy at audio, although I wouldn't be surprised if distortion was quite low. You won't get the eddy losses of plain iron, nor the hysteresis.

This sort of thing will put us buggy-whip makers out of business.

A wee confession.
I've been playing (velocity sensing) keyboards for so long now, that I find playing a real baby grand extremely difficult, and an upright almost impossible

Call me what you like, just don't call me late for dinner.

Sorry. I tried to resist, really I did.

... and another thing. For something like this I recommend screw terminals wherever possible. Much easier to do effective emergency on-site repairs!

"Dodgy Dave Doubledecks" seems to get away with many things that you or I would assume we would not (Two 13A plugs tailed to a 32A appliance inlet as a bodge for venues without a 'blue socket' springs to mind)... You used to see those 8 pin Bulgins used for 4 way 'light boxes' and such and IIRC at ...

I don't know about the Wacky World of Windows or the Awful Apple Arena, but here in Loony Linux Land it is fairly easy (for a programmer) to run a script that will intercept MIDI messages, and process them in the ways suggested. However, I'm not at all sure that would give you the playing results ...

Not quite the same thing, but I managed to get an EeePC901 to run the ZynAddSubFX soft-synth with only occasional glitches on the most processor intensive voice patches. I also had a class compliant USB keyboard connected to it at the same time. I would imagine you'll have no problems with what your ...

Hi Andy, Yes both of those would have given the I/O I wanted, but I really am a 'nuts-and-bolts' person so wouldn't have had anything like so much fun using pre-designed solutions. Besides, I rechecked the cost of the components I used - 79p total :) Also, my first excursion into LCD display control ...

Thanks for your replies. @Logarhythm The source is a soft-synth. There are three slightly flattened (as if they've been put through an overdrive) sine generators with a small frequency shift against each other, plus a pink noise generator. All have slightly different ADSR envelopes too, with the ...

Well that was a fun read, and I think just underlines that when someone says they can hear/see/smell/feel something, you are wasting your breath trying to explain why they can't.

I have been too busy at work to do anything on the audio side, but have been able to lash up an Arduino with a few switches, pots etc. to fake inputs. There is a 4 line 20 column LCD display attached, and I've been working on this at home during free moments. The final assembly will be an Arduino on ...

I'm very happy with the mix on my latest bit of work... with one exception. Towards the end of the (rather long) intro a soft slow drumbeat comes in, then continues, fading up and down for the rest of the track, so sometimes you hear it sometimes it's sort of subliminal. Now this works exactly as I ...

Interesting. Reading the manual it seems they've done some very clever design optimisations to be able to use both modes of operation.

In all seriousness, if you can hear a significant difference between 48k and 192k recoded under the same conditions and at the same bit depth, I'd suggest there is something very wrong with your setup.

As for 22.05, why such a peculiar frequency? It's half the lowest most stuff will handle.

Now you are really going to get mad with me when I ask - does the cable length matter? (again I ask in ignorance but expect it not to!). I'll understand if SOS ban me :-) Yes. It's of paramount importance that it should have sufficient length to reach from the output socket to your preferred ...

Not in the UTS series but Souriau do in do have RJ45 in waterproof variants. Lemo are really, really nice , but somewhat expensive and I always found there catalog more or less impenetrable. I don't know what it is with connector manufacturers but they seem as a species to try to make figuring out ...

By effectively stiffening the cone of the LF driver it will also change the impedance, especially in the mid range. I'm not certain, but I think it will lower it. Certainly you will need to supply more power to get the same sound level.

While there are specs for what you can use for mains wiring, as far as I'm aware there are no regs to say you can't use T&E elsewhere, however... In a fixed wiring environment that doesn't remain totally under your control, I would advise against it. It is just asking for very expensive, and ...

Good stuff. Any views of the outside, erm in daylight

Yes I've been reading those too.

Unfortunately, the prevailing business ideology of the suits today is that they'd rather actually lose money than co-operate in any way that could possibly benefit other players

I've been enjoying following this thread - some very nice work guys. I can't put anything in myself simply because I never got into using samplers at all. The closest I get is very occasional use of soundfonts :roll: All along it's been hardware (and now software) synths for me, with a MIDI ...

Warning Amplifier Porn! I wonder if it's possible to change the title :roll: As promised here are some drawings and pictures. The workshop scope is a digital one, which is not ideal for looking at audio traces. Also I can't find a way of stopping splurting all sorts of unwanted info over the traces ...
