New Livid Instruments minim MIDI Controller

Uploaded on Jul 24, 2015 lividTV

via discchord: "Livid has announced that they will be announcing a new mini MIDI controller on the 29th. The Minim is priced at around $150. While you could buy a full-sized Launchpad for that, it is relatively affordable compared to other Livid offerings! Here's a teaser video showing the little devices paired with an iPhone, iPad, and a Mac."

Anyone tell/know if these are tactile button controllers vs. touch screen? Update: they are hardware.

Reverse Engineered Yamaha OPL3 FM Synthesizer in an FPGA playing Descent & Doom

Published on Jul 26, 2015 dagoatful

"The OPL3 was a popular FM synthesis chip used in most PCs in the 90s. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_...

OPL3 FPGA code written entirely in SystemVerilog RTL. Music is played back via a port of imfplay from DOS to the ARM Cortex CPU on the Zynq FPGA (running bare metal C++). Music is stored in DRO format captured by running the original games in DOSBox (its essentially register dumps of the OPL3 every 1ms). This particular song is from Doom level 1.

See my github page at:
https://github.com/gtaylormb/opl3_fpga

The 4 LEDs are connected to the first 4 (of 18) channel key on registers."

"Arturia BeatStep Pro is controlli via MIDI MiniBrute (Ch01), BassStation II (Ch2) and Miami (Ch10). Absolutely low level 'composing' (ehr...): just a test for multiple addressing and real time transposing and re-dimensioning of sequences. Hats off to Arturia."

Synthino XM Surface Mount Assembly How To Make a Synthesizer Main Board IR Oven PCB

Published on Jul 26, 2015 GetLoFi

"www.synthino.com This is how we make the Synthino XM mainboard with excellent results, there are not very many components and once the solder stencil is tweaked with just the right amount of opening for the solder paste, there is virtually no chance for bridges and poor connections. Thanks for watching, please subscribe.

P.S. This also serves as a motion study exercise, I conclude that having parts in the tray parallel to the circuit board and the picking and placing hand is most optimal. Closing the lid after every place prevents accidental spillage of parts, most importantly picking the part inside of the container that is also rotated same as its orientation on the circuit board is advantageous. Handling the parts in their containers is also desired to minimize the spillage and extra travel moves.

'They come cheaper by the dozen you know'

Enjoy."
