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 The info on the website is a bit outdated.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."

"Exploration of the archaic Roland SH-2000 at the Coffeehouse in Middletown, CT. Great studio for anyone in the area looking for a good place to lay down some quality tracks. Will upload a couple more vids I made there soon. Ciao."

Comment Moderation

Update:And comment moderation if off. New rule. If you find a comment offensive you can request it to be removed. How do you do this? You post anonymously requesting the specific comment be removed and I will remove it. If you don't want your comment removed, figure out how to communicate more effectively.

I just enabled comment moderation. You can still post anonymously and I will be pretty liberal. Anyone with an account should not notice much of a change aside from a slight delay between when you comment and I click the publish button to make your comment live. If you can stand behind your opinion, you have a right to share it in my book, however if you become a consistent nuisance to others, including me, I will moderate your comments. So far NO ONE with an account has crossed that line. Anonymous comments that are constructive, humorous, or other will continue to come through. I don't want to deny any of the entertainment, however anything I identify as trolling or overly offensive will not go through. Again, I plan to be pretty liberal and a troll to you may not be a troll to me, so I'm going to enforce a simple rule. If you want what you perceive to be an anonymous troll comment removed, you can post your own anonymous comment to request that comment be removed and I will consider removing it. If I don't I will comment why. For example not everyone has the same taste or expectations and/or if removal of that comment will cause further comments to lose context they will most likely not be removed. However further trolling will not make it through.
