02 - THE MIRROR NEVER LIES

the mirror never lies? that's a compelling argument.

i think they can pull...
* rareware, retro studios, and franchises they're associated with
* precision platformers, collectathons, and indie platformers in general
* lena raine, david wise, and grant kirkhope
* the mind, its functions/failures, doppelgangers, identity, and the lack of identity
* the jungle, what you could find in it, the cold, its effects, and weird ass cgi
...and probably more.

You Need To Watch Netflix

Yesterday my buddy Chase's (@cactus-770217959) minitourney JUICE came back for a 32 character sequel, with my other buds Weegee and Eno helping out hosting! You may remember that I did a track for one of the matches between Charlie Brown Murders and Bogos Binted, but the rosters back and better than ever. This is a fan solo for one of the newcomers, Black Dynamite! I instantly fell in love with the sourcelist and knew I had a mission. I hope you enjoy it!

can't meme this too

Using some of Chopin's more finger blurring moments as a test bed whilst ironing out some of the remaining tweaks to the firmware (which has proven a little tricky to say the least!) for the prototype external MIDI2SIA Interface which allows pre model II+ models to be driven from MIDI.

In the form of a small external interface box the MIDI2SIA should run with any DK Synergy as long as it is equipped with a 25 pin SIA port and running V2.45 firmware or later.

1982 DK Synergy: Prototype External MIDI2SIA Test (Chopin Op. 23. In Gmin)

The first successful test of Hideaway's new Dual Channel MIDI2CV interface pcb playing a somewhat down-tempo rendition of the harpsichord solo from the first movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 (Allegro)

In this case one channel from the Dual MIDI2CV is driving three oscillators in unison on a classic Moog Modular System 55.. each of the two parts were overdubbed.

NB: In this quick test no VCAs were used so the oscillators are heard throughout the recording. 

Designed as both a small external interface box or in internally installed applications as a MIDI retrofit the interface supports two CV output channels spanning 4 octaves in 12-bit accuracy and two gates which are link selectable at 5 or 9 volts or Moog S-Trig.  

The interface supportings a number of modes such as pitch + velocity on two CV channels, a Duophonic Mode and two pitch channels assigned to separate MIDI channels as well as a variable delay mode between CV1/2 and Gate 1/2 which is ratiometric to the MIDI clock...

1977 Moog Modular System 55: Prototype Dual MIDI2CV Test

Another test of Hideaway's prototype Dual Channel MIDI2CV interface driving a 1977 Minimoog playing part Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in unison with the Music 5000 on the BBC Micro via Hideaway's new M5KMIDI interface. 

Designed as both a small external interface box or in internally installed applications as a MIDI retrofit the interface supports two CV output channels spanning 4 octaves in 12-bit accuracy and two gates which are link selectable at 5 or 9 volts or Moog S-Trig.

Prototype Dual MIDI2CV Minimoog & Music 5000 M5KMIDI play Bach!

My first go at writing Korg Hz-V CV control firmware for the new Dual CV2MIDI Interface and retrofitted the prototype to a 1977 Korg Micropreset M-500 as a test bed.   The floating point exponential maths proved a little tricky and the calibration is not quite there yet but its getting close!..

Update:  The interface is now also driving the filter cutoff via MIDI Note_On velocity which adds a whole new dimension to the little M-500 - a quick test appended to the end of this recording...

1977 KORG Micropreset: Prototype Dual MIDI2CV Hz/Volt Interface

Having another bash at improving the exponential pitch control calibration in the new Hz-V control firmware for the new Dual MIDI2CV interface.  The prototype has been retrofitted in a 1977 Korg Micro-preset M-500.

Here is the Micro-preset playing oboe and the Matrix 1000 playing Harpsichord.... (last movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5)

Its Been So K.K. (With Instrumental)

Testing out a brand new prototype of a major upgrade I designed for the super rare 1979 Linn LM-1 Drum Machine which implements a separate MIDI velocity controlled analog VCA on each of the 12 drum channels thus giving this pioneering beast the dynamic control it never had.

The upgrade also has a gating mode allowing MIDI note-offs to cut drum samples short - great for those moments of particularly intricate programming.

Only around 500 Linn LM-1s were manufactured but it was to become the first model of a line of some of the most influencial sampled drum machines ever made including LinnDrum which found its way onto countless best selling albums of the 80s.

1979 Linn LM-1: Prototype 12 Channel MIDI VCA Retrofit

D.A.Wilson is an Electronic Engineer, Sound Designer & Vintage Synth Specialist with a particular interest in combining vintage tube, classic analog and modern digital technologies working as a synth engineer looking after a very considerable amount of vintage studio equipment for Will Gregory (Goldfrapp / Moog Ensemble) and a number of other internationally celebrated electronic musicians and producers.  Having undertaken several major restorations and produced custom electronic designs for a number of major artists including Jean-Michel Jarre, Dani is also known for fully restoring two out of the world's four remaining 1979 Crumar GDS and partially restoring 1938 Novachord 346 (the only known operational Novachord in the UK) to playable order along with developing and producing the new Elfin family of 8-bit polysynths and the popular MIDI Front Panel Animator (FPA), Filter Defeat Module (FDM) and XD-280 Drive Emulator upgrades for the AKAI S612 sampler.
