"Synthesis of complex stereo waveforms with CPLD programmable logic core. (Lattice ispLSI1032E).

If you are comfortable designing DIY digital circuitry with 7400 / CD4k chips, look into CPLDs, they are amazing. Inside a CPLD is a collection of primitive logic elements equivalent to hundreds of 7400/CD4k chips, and through the magic of logic synthesis, these elements are configured by software to realize your circuit. Its like a dream where the chips jump up and plug themselves into your breadboard, and wires magically appear to fulfill the schematics you draw on the screen. Plus they are erasable/reconfigurable indefinitely. It is a very futuristic feeling to use this technology.

I used Lattice's free software environment ispLEVER Classic 1.4 and the ispDOWNLOAD USB JTAG programmer (~$80) to configure these devices.

This is a nice way to familiarize oneself with the toolchain. Once a few more concepts are in place, the power of FPGAs will be accessible."

"This is a bit I came up with last night whilst noodling in the studio. It is the "lower" voice on one of the Template patches."

Expensive Crap: AKA The 200e Takes a Shit

"All that money spent to sound like crap...

The Flight of Harmony Plague Bearer is an amazing, very economic device for ripping sound apart. The Geiger Counter is back in my setup as well.

261e generates the main signal that is torn apart and mixed back in. Frequency shifting and balanced modulator are also used. 250e sequences. Most of the cables aren't doing anything, the patch is pretty simple actually."
