MOTM

...
What really appealed to me about this idea is that one could have multiple
keyboards or indicating devices with various scales printed and swap them at
will.  Since the controller is continuous, the number of different tunings
is limited only by your imagination of drawing the appropriate stop points
for your slide pointer to point at....


This occurred to me as well. With a common electronic i/f, like the pedal
i/f, you could play with all sorts of nutbag, microtonal controller ideas
that were essentially limited by your woodworking skills.

See Wendy Carlos' similar device, used on the last album, for another
controller idea: http://www.wendycarlos.com/circon.html

A "voltage expander" is an amplifier, no...?

so leading on from this - say i had an LDR attached to an 850 interface, the
LDR is being, erm, modulated by a small candle flickering but the voltage
swing is too minute to be useful...
...so does anyone know of a *DC voltage expander*, or indeed
compressor/limiter that can be used in much the same way you use an audio
expander/compressor/limiter..?

I could be wrong, but I would think there would be a gain control on the
forthcoming Envelope Follower module; since its most obvious purpose would
be to extract amplitude information from acoustic sources; it's natural to
assume that there'd be a "x10" or so input gain control.

Several of John Blacet's modules have input gain controls for this reason.

i had actually forgotten about that - but i really meant something with a
bit of dynamic control
come to think of it the oakley wavefolder might do the trick - and i suppose
the forthcoming MOTM wavewarper (if we had any info...)
