Passive dual diode ring modulator with internal connections that can be break by inserting audio plugs.
When only input 1 and 2 are used, output 1 is the ring modulation output, output 2 is the singal of output 1 being modulated again by input 2 (de-modulation output).
When input 1, 2, 4 are used, output 1 is the ring modulation output, output 2 is the singal of output 1 being modulated by input 4.
When all 4 inputs are used, it can be 2 totally indepented ring modulators.
Very versatile!"

Innerclock Systems iLitmus Test for iOS Timing

Innerclock Systems has come up with a process for measuring the tempo sync for various iOS apps.

"With the unrelenting advance of Apple's iOS development for iPhone and iPad there are now a growing number of well-specified and sonically usable sequencing and drum machine applications for the platform. Core Midi I/O is now functional and there are a number of 3rd Party add-on interfaces that provide external tempo-sync and we will be testing these in due course.

The iLitmus test criterea are the same as we use for hardware devices as outlined on the main Litmus page: iPad2 audio output recorded direct to stand-alone hard disk recorder and these audio files are then marked and measured to the sample in Sound Forge 10."

You can find the results for various apps here.

Silver Tiptop Audio Station 252 Folding Case on PYRAPHONIC

A few pics via PYRAPHONIC a new blog on jimmersound's sonic pursuits. You'll find a few more pics there. All great shots. You can get a feel for the size of the Station 252 in the bottom shot with the Coke bottle next to it.

Update: I initially had this posted as a white case. Although it looks white in some of the pics, it's actually silver.

Mattson Mini Modular SQ16 Sequencer

"I've been quiet for a while. I decided to dive into the MMM sequencer. Ran into problems with discreet logic so, tossed all of the gates and went with a PIC. Which adds a lot more tricks. Including: Quantizing, 8 or 16 stage mode, Ping Pong and Random modes, etc, etc, etc.
Plus, the ability to do software upgrades via a USB port. Just grab the new version on your computer and connect the two.
I'll also be designing an expansion module to compliment it that will provide 16 jacks for individual stage gate outputs and a MIDI output so that the programmed sequence can be recorded on a MIDI recorder.

I also swapped a couple of panel controls around and, had to add something to fill the last (56th) hole position. I guess that's more functional than my logo....

And, I renamed it to the SQ816 instead of the SQ1.

Here's a JPG of the new layout design. I grayed out the black to help with readability on the pic and put grid lables. Mostly, so I can keep track of what is where."

Synthwerks PGM-4X4 Four By Four Programmer/Sequencer In the Flesh

"One of the first pictures taken in the new photo booth I built to take product shots. I made it out of a old cardboard shipping box lined with white art board and a set of fluorescent lights on top. saved myself some cash. Good enough for things around a foot and a half maximum in size."
