Not very exciting (in fact it's very simple). Got my first 'mini'
project working last night (god it was a long 'un).
My YS200 now has a wah wah pedal attached to its breath controller
port. I had an old Mister Cry Baby (which is broken beyond all belief)
given to me years ago by a friend. SO - I stripped out all the
components and plugged in a 250K pot and a ~100K resistor and now I
can pedal away the hours (the YS200 lets you modify the 'tone' of the
sound based on aftertouch or breath controller). I am very happy ;>
Now I have done that the next big thing to do is to have the breath
controller wired to an external sound source and this my friends is
where I get lost.
The control is resistance (current) based, a signal comes out of
the YS200 apply a resistance and feed that signal back in. How can I
get a 'line out' style sound source to modulate that signal (or is an
audio modulator exactly what I am looking for).
If you can help me, if you choose to accept this mission please
send me any ol' details you care to send (text references, web pages,
schematics) etc.
BTW if you can find old WahWah pedals (and they're pretty cheap) I
recommend these whole heartedly for 'live' control of sounds.
Matthew.
