New Module status

New Module status

1999-09-13 by Dave Bradley

So Paul,

After 320 and 410, what's the current thinking on module release order?

SSM VCF? SEM VCF?
Preamp?
Sequencer?
Effects Farm?

FWIW, I need a 4 pole filter badly - I just can't get those smooth
horn/string sounds out of the 420!

So it looks like the sequencer is displacing the "1U flood" except for
preamp and envelope follower?

The new release order looks like:

Triple Preamp
Envelope Follower
SSM2040 clone - 4 pole LPF with VC Q and a special treat (no, not telling!)
Mixer

After that, will write the "official Sequencer Specification 1.0" which is
the design
document the sequencer is 'frozen to'. This will be in PDF format, with 2
weeks for comment.

It is not certain how much I will be able to do with holidays & vacation
after that. I am also
working on a VC lag (new SPICE program arrived today!) But I want to be
clear on
one point: the software effort is 3-4 man-months just for Version 1.0.0 Some
of the I/O code
is written (display, FLASH memory, EEPROM, etc) but it is a massive
undertaking. Therefore,
from Thanksgiving to release, *very little* R&D will occur on new modules.
Hopefully, I can
ship what I have! :)

I will offer "beta units" for testing. In order to beta, you have to pay for
it, even if it sucks. You will
get newer HW/SW as needed. You *must* have a PC with W95/98 and a free
serial port. No whining
about Amigas or your Sinclair Z-80 or that Motorola-based computer whose
name escapes me :)

You must pay for the beta, but the money is applied to a "real" one or you
can get refunded. Did I
mention this is also expensive (close to $10,000 in development/initial
parts cost)?

I will try to "flood", but I am worried about the sequencer task.

LH: As this seems to be a place where one expresses opinions
with votes, I cast one vote for the flood including the:

LH: AND, the 310 VCO before a dry spell associated with
the long R&D time of the sequencer.

I'm trying to find a decent VCA that can be linear/log response.

Oh yea. Thanks Mark. I forgot that one. Please put that on my "before
DoMOAS" list too.
