Programming from the pc and dumping directly into the envelooper would be brilliant! I sure hope you can make it work. Great to hear that this is a possibility. Thats much cleaner than burning proms and swapping them out. > I am investigating the use of in-circuit programmable Fl

> 4 1024 If I understand this "4 1024" correctly in terms of *arf-dom, it means 4 discrete 1,024 segment/stage envelopes/sequencers. Is this correct? Then each segment/stage can produce a voltage between 0-10v? Can each of the 4 evelopes/sequencers be clocked at a different speed

Another 'Arbitrary Function Generator' would be the Haken Continuum Fingerboard with the CVC cv output box. When matched with a typical MIDI sequencer, the Fingerboard/CVC will accurately record me spilling my drink on the keypad, and allow me to do the typical MIDI sequencer edi

Grant, thanks for the clarification. I'm probably initially at least, less interested in the self creation of software, I assume the good docs assumption that there will be a factory eprom holds true? If so does that mean that you are a bit limited when it comes to the pitch sequ

This device really sounds like it will be fantastic (and the faceplate design looks very cool also). I also noticed that you just introduced an estimate of the initial price point (sneaky :-)). I want one! --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, "Grant Richter" wrote: > > Hi Mark, > >

The EMP-10 is great and affordable (I don't think Needham makes that model anymore so you may be forced to go to the bay). I do have one problem with it though - it uses a parallel port to connect to the computer. A lot of computers these days don't have parallel connectors anymo

Look on eBay for a used Needham EMP-10. There are two models, an ISA card that plugs in an old computer, or a standalone model. In any case you will need a computer for file transfer. The EMP-10 support up to a 27C08 4 meg x 8 EPROM. --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, "stefanbonn

How about a Woggle bug, bottle of Jack Daniels and a roll of toilet paper? True, I had 'system lust' when I first looked at Wiard stuff. Of course, the system that I presently had didn't come to me in one piece - a module or two were received every few months for about 18 months.

Dumb question probably, and I'm on vacation so I can't experiment to resolve this question, but how does one patch up the noise ring to use as a processor (an example would be useful please)? Thanks in advance/Happy Holidays Bill Gibson
