MOTM

Hi all,

I have been off all week, so I'm trying to catch up with all of this. It
may be a good ide to read this before you vote...

Mark >... midi clock output for synchronization with an analog sequencer
or old drum machine.

The present CC output could be configured to do this, but there are no
plans to do this as yet. John Blacet makes a little PIC that does just
this job though.

JH >A switch for Low note priority would be a good addition as well.

No plans for this either, sorry. This would require another port on the
midiDAC PIC and one isn't available as it stands. Juergen, could you
tell me why you would like this? For years I struggled with low note
priority on my old synths and I just love new note priority. Remember
the midiDAC has a note stack so it will return to the previous note(s)
if you take of the new low or high note(s). Velocity data is not
remembered in the note stack as I feel this is more intuitive.

>Would you like a dedicated switch to control GLIDE, or is turning the
pot to 0 sufficient for you?

The (optional) switch on the midiDAC2 is designed to turn the glide ON
all the time irrespective of legato playing. Only by turning the glide
time to zero, or by playing non legato, will you be able to turn the
glide off. An OFF switch could be added but it would have to be cludged
on.

I have never used my glide CV output on my prototype... and it works
opposite/differently to the MOTM-820's bypass S-trig input. You could
loose that jack and replace it with a switch if you need panel space.

Moe>Add a front panel switch for  multi/single trigger modes.

Yes, this really should be added. This was not incorporated on the
original and I miss it. But it is fully implemented on the midiDAC2. A
simple SPST switch is needed.

Panel layouts: Be aware that the midiDAC2 PCB is the same size as four
pot Oakley module, ie. same height as a MOTM one. In the mididac2alt.gif
design, the placement of the midi sockets may foul the PCB.

The two LEDS were designed to be board mounted, although they do not
have to be. Lumex types should be able to be soldered directly into the
board if you follow the Schaeffer plan.

OK thats probably put the proverbial spanner in the works. Sorry...

Cheers for now,

Tony
