Sorry about the bad video quality, but we guess you all get the idea!

Radio Shack Q&A with Forrest Mims III

Forrest Mims is the man that brought us the Atari Punk Console. Below is a pic of him building a model rocket launcher back in 1969 via wikipedia.

"Forrest M. Mims III has written over sixty books about science, computers and electronic circuits that he has tested and built. We were able to wrack his brain and learn a little more about the man who has sold over 7.5 million copies of his books. Throughout the Q&A we were able to learn a little more about how he got his start, his favorite build and how he is able to turn circuit analysis into something that DIYers are able to understand!"

"TSB: You’ve built a ton of cool projects over the years – which one was your favorite, and why?

Mims: I built and published a series of solid state oscilloscopes using arrays of LEDs. While their resolution was low, they worked. I also designed and built from discrete chips a 4-bit digital processor that could be programmed with several instructions. My favorite projects were the lab kits I designed for RadioShack, especially the Electronics Learning Lab and the RadioShack Sun & Sky Monitoring Station. I just returned from 13 days at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory, where I calibrated the first Sun & Sky Station for the ninth year. I use this device every day the sun shines, and it provides beautiful data."

"The synth originally came from BGSU's music department. It was sold at auction and I ended up with it. I kind of wish I still had some of the modulators. It had several staircase generators, phasers, envelope generators, ring modulators, VCO's, VCA's, VCF's, Spring reverbs, A patch bay, just anything you could want in a synth."

Schubert: Impromptu, Op. 90, No. 3 (synthesized)

YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Sep 5, 2011

"The third impromptu in the Op. 90 set is one of Schubert's popular and well-known works for solo piano. It is written in G-flat major and in 4/2 time, but when it was first published, the meter was changed to 4/4 and it was transposed up to G. This was done as the publishers thought the accidentals and unconventional meter would discourage students from learning the piece. However, this transposition actually made the piece more difficult to play, and spoiled the flat-key relationship between the impromptus in Op. 90. Today, most current published editions have restored the piece to its original tonality and time. The piece, featuring long melodic lines, showcases Schubert's excellent lyrical facility. Musical tension builds from the calm beginning of the piece to a climax in the middle, then relaxes again as the piece draws to a close.

This synthesized rendition and the scrolling visualization were created by our Matlab synthesizer from a MIDI file. The timbre used for this piece is a combination of two "instruments" from our synthesizer: a subtractive synthesis-based voice for the main melodic lines and an FM/additive synthesis voice (whose sound was actually created by accident) adding shimmery, swirling overtones to the mix."
