WTPA2 - Where's the Party At 2 Hackable 8-Bit DIY Sampler

via I Got Junctions On the Low Low

"Todd Bailey, after making his fans wait 4 years(!) finally released Where's-the-part-at 2.0 WTPA2 today. There's about 300 units in the initial run and they will go fast. Todd has made noise about a Euro-rack version in the future.

Its a hackable 8 bit sampler DIY kit. from the manual:

Overview:

WTPA2 (usually) stores samples as 8-bit, monophonic, uncompressed audio. When used for live sampling, it initially stores samples to RAM. WTPA2 has 512k of RAM. WTPA2's sampling rate is anywhere you tell it to be, usually somewhere from ~30kHz to ~8kHz (or less). This means that WTPA2 can sample anywhere from ~17 seconds to more than a minute of consecutive audio. WTPA2's maximum bit depth (8 bits) is not high by modern standards, but it isn't terrible either. It sounds great for a thing that sounds crusty. WTPA2 can also save and load samples from an optional micro-SD card interface. Each SD card can hold up to 512 samples. Samples can be converted to AIFFs and stored on a computer, and vice versa.

WTPA2 can also play Nintendo Entertainment System DPCM samples from a properly formatted micro-SD card.

WTPA2 has three independent playback channels: Bank 0, Bank 1, and the SD-card stream. Bank 0 and Bank 1 work out of RAM, and can freely manipulate samples in all kinds of ways. The SD card stream is pulled directly from the card, and plays samples in a vanilla way at a fixed sample rate. NOTE-- samples may be loaded and saved from RAM to the SD card. WTPA2 has two general styles of user interface. Front panel buttons and knobs (Caveman) and a MIDI input (Fancy 80's Disco Style). WTPA2 can also take a control voltage input for the master sample rate VCO, and can be interfaced to modular synthesizers (Fancy 2013 Disco Style)."

"The Special Things:
- The keybed was refurbished by Sound Doctorin in 2011. It's been flawless since.
- The MIDI input was installed and configured by Greg Klosmon in 2011, and been flawless as well. (see photo)
- I created/installed what i consider my favorite upgrade of this synth, which is it's INPUT/OUTPUT insert point for patching either A) the synth PRE effects board OUT, B) the effects section independent of synth IN, or BOTH. More about this later..
- I built a V-Trig / S-Trig converter to allow the Polysix to be able to receive all types of triggers for the arpeggiator trigger input. This is included and is a simple patch when hooking up a respective signal. (not photo'd due to max photo limit here. it's just a simple small box)
- The battery was replaced several years ago so this synth avoided all of that battery/board leak stuff.
- I changed out R98 (resistor 98) to make the LFO circuit act perfectly smooth and at factory spec. There was a minor timing issue that had developed from age but it's perfect now and will be from here on.

Elements & Mikrophonie

via Laurentide Synthworks

"I've been beta testing the new set of MI modules the past couple months. Elements by far is my favorite. The others are amazing in their own right, but Elements is something special. Hook a Mikrophonie up to it and it becomes unworldly."
