<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thinking of relays...... did anyone ever wire up a
pinball machine to output MIDI (or CV/gate)? Sort of random sequences

sections.</FONT></DIV>

done?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm thinking of old 60s / 70s machines, not
more recent ones which have already far too much audio
happening.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS If not enough was happening, then maybe the
counters could also output MIDI notes or triggers each time they moved
on one place - useful percussion. Plus the flippers could do the
same, so there would be direct human playing as well.</FONT></DIV>

type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Doing an ASR (analog shift register) this way would be more likely. For an
audio delay you would need multiple relays running in parallel, each fired
fractionally later than the last in order to simulate the much faster dual
string of the semiconductor variant. of course you would also need relays in
series with each in the parallel input.
instead of 2 x 512 as per a basic BBD,
you'd need to do something like 2 x 50 x 10 to achieve the same thing.
