i've also been hoping to make 1200-series faceplates for some blacet modules (mini wave, for instance..?). i've never bought blacet, since i really don't like knobs to be so close together. but now that we're in the era of front panel express, these things can be remedied... btw,

There is a silkscreen layout in the manual. If you feel comfortable working with surface mount electronics, you can put a switch in series with D6. With D6 disconnected, you can use the "Clock Out" jack as a "Clock In" for a 0 to 10 volt square wave. The pattern advances on the r

Hi Andrew (of the PSIM list fame) doc here... As far as i can see, the 1200 series modules were designed very 'close to the bone' everything is designed to make ultra-efficient use of the components. and keep production cost & labor down to a minimum So i think the chances that G

Yeah, I can't use the NR as a master unless I buy something that produced MIDI and DIN sync from the NR Clock Out. The mod would *have* to be cheaper than that... Your idea of having the Ext Rate In be a *divider* would be teets on the duck's back! Andrew >>> c.d.sawyer@tcu.edu 1

the outputs are different weightings of the bits on the shift register. one is linear (n+1) and the other is exponential (2^n). the exp is the common way to interpret binary words, with a MSB and LSB etc. but the linear gives a different responce. so that is why the bits are conn
