DIY Synth Card Expansion prototype demo for Korg Wavestation synthesizers

DIY Synth Card Expansion prototype demo for Korg Wavestation synthesizers from ilmenator on Vimeo.


"This is a demo of a MIDIbox based DIY project that emulates both PROG- and PCM-cards for the Korg Wavestation line of synthesizers. These units were produced in the early 90s. While they are not exactly collector's items, the RAM-, ROM-, and PCM-cards for these are very sought after today. The DIY project demoed here aims at replacing a RAM/ROM (PROG) and a PCM (waveform) card with a little microcontroller-based circuitry and software that allows to load the corresponding data from SD card. Of course, sound- and waveform-data can also be read from card(s) and saved onto the SD card...

This is a proof-of-concept, hence the whole thing looks quite chaotic :-). I will provide more details on midibox.org."
