I've played with some of those import "pocket scope" options, and found them to be pretty limited, and quickly devised situations where they wouldn't resolve the signal (small AC signal riding on significant DC offset, comparatively low input impedance, bandwidth that's rather constrained (even cons...

I really have no idea where to start and what to buy. First, find the EDAC connector. Is it physically present on the board? Is there only one? (My soundcraft 600 has something like 8 EDACs on the back) Do you have the corresponding pages in the manual? Without the documentation, this becomes a ser...

Does the system have a "play stereo as stereo" option? Then it should be rendering your mix, as it was prepared. If it's blowing up a stereo mix into more channels, I don't think there are any particular standards for how that would be done. There are a lot of flimsy tricks (phase trickery, MS decod...

Speaking of aftertouch, CL recently handed me a Korg Wavestation EX (or an E, because the X sticker fell off somewhere along the way). This is one of those synths that's kinda been on my list since maybe 1995. It basically the opposite of analog, so it's not particularly fashionable right now. And t...

Shall we just assume it's in Zagreb, and you're asking 6 figures?

Less facetiously, the smaller, older MPCs (500/1000/2500) sometimes pop up cheap.
They can do a lot more, but simply playing samples is pretty easy.

Elektron Octatrack.

You'll thank me when you're able to use the word "trig" 5 times in the same sentence.

You might need a heavier-duty ethernet switch in between than the average house has, but yes, Dante can talk to Dante.

(Audinate pulblish plenty of material regarding Dante's network requirements)

Snoise MIDI Monitor appears to be a Mac MIDI analyzer:

Sounds like one side or the other is configured to treat that CC like a switch, rather than a continuous value?

I don't know what platform you're on, but it can be useful to use a utility like MIDI-ox to see what's being sent. I'd expect to see messages with 0-127 for the range of the control.

The interface is a ULN-8? Maybe the manual answers it: They default to Monitor level, which is optimized for connecting to self powered monitors or amplifiers. If you are connecting to another device like a mixing console you can change this to Line. Or more succinctly Nominal FS output (Balanced) O...

Don't forget the esparanto key.

The Georgia Tech Foundation - with a note specifically identifying Dr Lanterman's outreach in the synthesizer-DIY community.

A few entities I've given to in the past spring to mind: My local independent FM music stations. We have an NPR-adjacent station that plays locally programmed music - I think the only syndicated show they have is World Cafe on the overnights. We've also got one of the few dedicated Jazz stations in ...

I remember ages ago, when Sean costello asked for some pointers on how reverb worked on the Synth-DIY mailing list. (or was it MusicDSP?) He certainly managed to get himself into a pretty comfortable position in that world. He's also known for lifting the curtain about how different reverbs work - i...
