Subject: RE: [motm] more NAMM poop

From: "Tony Karavidas" <tony@...>

Sorry for the huge delay replying to this. I've been really sick for over a week now.
 
The FS shown at NAMM is neither of those things, but one change that is being considered is having the local oscillator change from analog to digital, and this would cost effectively provide both features, and a wider range of shift. (Especially at the slower end) The multipliers would still be fully analog and so would the entire audio path. The price wouldn't change, but the ship date would slip. I think it would be a better product overall, but maybe other's would disagree.
 
Now's the time to speak up. Everyone I mentioned it to at NAMM thought it was a great idea.
 
Tony

Frequency shifter?  Yes!!!!  Shifts through zero?  Calibrated 1V/oct input?  If so then this is a great price.

 

Bigger knobs on this one please.  An oversized one for Manual Shift would not be out of place.

I've been busy, that's for sure.

The Freq Shifter was designed by Chris MacDonald; I think most of you know
who he is by now. I'm going to get my hands in it before it ships, but it's
mostly his baby.

The MIDI-CV is my answer to retiring the first Expressionist. It's going to
have more features and a slightly different topology. The 12 jacks are ALL
CVs, but the vertical line indicates a "pairing up" of channels when used as
conventional CV/Gate pairs. As you can see this one is 12 CV channels or 6
CV/Gate pairs. Not quite as big as the original Expressionist, but more
flexible in other ways.

I'm still going to update the original Expressionist code as planned, but
this development will occur at the same time. I know Dave B (among others)
has been VERY patient.

I have NO code in the Expressionist 2 yet. I've been busy all year on the
Midiman SurfaceOne. (I think it will demo well this week)

Price on both items is TBD, but they are looking something like this:

Frequency shifter: $389
Expressionist 2: $499

Come on by and say "hi!"
