Chromanoff

MIDI interface for the Rhodes Chroma. Title link takes you to more info.

via Martin on the Rhodes Chroma list:
"I keep working on it. The only trouble is that I have not enough time to do it faster. You can find a very short story about it at: link

I have a big deal of software written and tested. Hardware part was tested on pcb-test-boards. I am building the prototype unit these days.

As I worked on the project I eventually decided to build sort-of controller computer that can be extended with modules. The info on the website is a bit outdated. The major change is that it will not use XML for configuration files, as it generates too much overhead. And instead my own scripting language, I am considering using forth interpreter - ie. a very cool programming language from beginning of computer era. By doing this the unit can be programmed to do anything, depending on what program you load from a mmc card. Also, the prototype unit has built-in a USB port.

The cost of components (for core system with chromanoff module, excluding analog CV) and the pcb is below 100EUR. The big LCD plays a big role in it."
