<\/a>\nHere are a couple of different configurations.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/center>\n
<\/a>\nHow do you organize 60 knobs & 60 Jacks?\u00a0 Custom printed\/laminated, easily switchable vinyl templates!\u00a0 What ever custom configuration and arrangement can be made and are attached to the top and bottom of the console via thin strips of Velcro.\u00a0 Want to modulate all of the modulators in a virtual Matrix 12 with your eurorack gear?<\/strong>
\n
<\/a>\nSwitchable MIDI I\/O jacks and a couple of extra 9V outputs to power various guitar pedals are located in back.\u00a0 This is completely stand alone.\u00a0 The USB jack is only for programming the 60 Knobs via FTDI (Arduino based).
\n
<\/a>\nThis originally started as the quest for the ultimate YM2612 chip controller.\u00a0 Yes, the same chip in the Sega Genesis.\u00a0 Using the LittleScale GenMDM I can control all the parameters of the chip via MIDI CC.\u00a0 And now thanks to the 60 Knobs & 60 Jacks I can CV control all of them…\u00a0\u00a0 …EASILY and QUICKLY!
\n
<\/a>\nSo a few of you are already curious about performance!\u00a0 As you should be, surprisingly enough the throughput is really good.\u00a0 I have been able to easily get 30 CV inputs going simultaneously using slower rate LFO’s and roughly 6-7 at audio rate with stable performance.\u00a0 So now you are asking why not all 60?\u00a0 Well, in practical terms most of the time you are really only using 6-8 CV inputs at a time, but finding those is the bigger adventure.\u00a0 You usually only have a few sweet spots of modulation and having access to all of these parameters you are able to quickly dive into those and it becomes fun, as opposed to a chore.\u00a0 Modulating several of the virtual CS-80’s parameters easily patches into many hours of enjoyment!<\/strong><\/p>\n
“Wait, you are wanting to go back into the box?” you say.\u00a0 Yep, and I want to use all of my eurorack modular CV control sources too! Stop me if you have been here…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 …You have been patching your modular synth for a while and then you get a thought of “I wish I could use this modulation source to control one of my other midi synth’s!”\u00a0 … Continue reading

\nI plan to spend more time working on this concept and hope to find a design that will strike a balance between quality and cost.\u00a0 Maybe the guys at Bastl would be interested in pushing it into this direction?\u00a0 This one is part of my Vertigo Case series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
