The Whatever Thread .. For Gear!!

[Invisible Man]

Looking to grab a ss/bs mini. Can anyone confirm that jacks are not board-mounted? I assume they are wired to the board, not soldered to it? And where is the power jack (same question)?

[kbit]

Jacks are wired to the board, not directly soldered, same with the power plug. On the top jack version I think the power is on top but I could be mistaken. On the side jack version its next to the input jack, closer to the footswitch that the knobs.

[repoman]

how are you supposed to stomp this switch?

[lordgalvar]

With cleats.

THE BEHRINGER ANALOG SYNTH IS REAL

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[lordgalvar]

Haha, wow.

That video. It's like the behringer version of a moog video.

Better question: which existing synth did they clone 1:1? And will Richard Devine lend his approval to their spaghetti sauce?

Also,



Autumn Red 1978 Gretsch TK-300 / Never even knew these existed, let alone in such a cool color.

That gretsch is awesome. They had a bunch of pretty weird solid bodies in the 60s and 70s.

I'm really glad that I never got rid of my Small Clone. Been in a deep Gothic/Darkwave mood recently.

How dare you.

Sunday whim research is frustrating (and only happening because of frustration with other projects).

So....usb-midi is the freaking bane of my existence. I have a device that connects as a peripheral to a USB host for USB over midi...I don't have a DAW with midi and I refuse to buy one/don't care to ever use one. After fighting with the dang computer, I gave up on that whole world.

I am looking for USB over midi hosts that do not require an idevice or a dang computer. iConnectMIDI4+ seems to be the only commercial thing that does this but it is $200 and not really something I need (I'm just messing around...nothing serious). Any others I should know about?

Found disaster area ghost and teenage oplab. Will they do what I want?(control a midi device with only USB via an actual midi device?)

What I am really think though is just to do it with raspberry pi or arduino. Any good start links for running a USB host on either? Haha, the cost and time into either will probably be the same as that iConnectMIDI4+...but still not sure if that will actually work.

Edit: guess I should mention that I am not sending midi message over USB, I need to send them via din and receive them at the destination via USB. Backwards usual.

Lots of MIDI host options and info here: http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index. ... ic=15763.0

I still need to find time to study this and pick a path through. The Livid Guitar Wing is too damned cool not to be controlling my Eventide.

[lordgalvar]

That is exactly the kind of link I as looking for. Thanks! Still nothing exactly perfect, but I will figure it all out.

I think I might just go with the Kenton until I have more time build my own more eloquent solution. Haha.

I keep feeling like somebody half thought out midi over USB (,or use it to just cut costs). Everytime I try to do anything that would have been simple with old midi...I hit some kind of road block.

Only reason I am reluctant to learn raspberry pi right now is I am already messing with arduino and midi box. Might be burning pics soon. Damn dumb ideas in my head.

[spacelordmother]

This requires a computer to setup (same as an Arduino or Pi) but this can also be a synth/sampler/effect/who knows what if you're so inclined:

I have no experience with it yet, but it's next on my list.

For Arduino I was looking at trying this one: https://studiothorn.wordpress.com/2015/ ... converter/
