Joystick 1209B w/banana jacks...

2002-12-04 by seqbill

Just got a couple of these 9v battery powered joysticks. Grant did 
a  v ery nice job on them.  The panel has trigger/v/h outs and a 
ground out.

The case is made of thick plywood with a simulated rock cover. 

Nice weight, size, and texture.  Perfect to hold in your hand.

Joystick outputs are 50mv to 5 volts, gate at 6.6v, compatible with  
5v range synths.  Gate risetime = 1ms.   No attenuators.

Worked great with my Serge and Fenix.  Have not tried with 
Modcan yet.

The only issue I found (which I relayed to Grant) had to do with 
the battery being loose inside and shifting the unit's weight  
when you are holding and moving the case.  Easy fix with velcro, 
but maybe a 9v battery holder would do a better long-term job.

Pics on the Wiard site and additional data on the Wiard site.

Highly recommend it for those of you having a banana 
hemisphere in your studios.

Regards,

Bill
