Joystick Axis Generators

Joystick Axis Generators

2004-03-12 by grantrichter2001

I am now taking orders for the Joystick Axis Generator module.

This experimental module produces 10 complex output voltages 
from two input voltages. It has 9 LEDs of every color except violet.

The most obvious application is control signals for 
quadraphonic panning. It also provides the control signals for 
volume and reverberation control for location modulation.

If you have worked with the Buchla reverb module, this allows 
you to patch up the "Recede" fuction where volume, reverb and 
panning are controlled automatically.

Using the Borg Filters in the VCA mode also provides the high 
frequency roll-off with distance cue, which mimics the effect of 
humidity damping with acoustic signals.

A less obvious application is timbre control via joystick. Since 
you have 10 crossfading control signals, you can route them to 
filter frequency, filter Q, PWM, waveshape select, filter type select 
and anything else. Now you can adjust 10 parameters 
simultaneously using a single joystick.

Cash price is US$199 which includes shipping in the 48 US 
states.

For Paypal, send US$206 to grichter@asapnet.net. Remember, 
Paypal is a fee based wire transfer service and is not free to use.

To save the $7 Paypal fee, please send a check.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Any pix of the finished model? I think I've only seen the prototype.
 
Thanks,

It looks exactly the same as the prototype except there is no 
screw head by the switch and the center LED is now a clear 
yellow LED.

I should have a preliminary manual up after AHMW on the 20th.

By the way, Mike Firman and I will be at Analog Heaven Midwest 
this year. I don't know the details, just going along for the ride. 
But I should have some finished JAG modules with me.
