New CatSynth TV! A detailed look at the new features in #Arturia Pigments 7, which was released today. We also jam on a few of the factory presets 😻🎹📺 https://youtu.be/E3oERLxAtAk #synthesizers

well, after a bit of effort I managed to swap the 1u row of my ALA adventure case to the middle, making my tiny patches from sequencer to disting NT to headphone output way easier. next task will be making blanks from illustration board.

#Introduction Hi, I'm a sound enthusiast from Switzerland.

As a highly sensitive person, I got tired of unnecessary overstimulation and the overload of unsolicited content on proprietary social networks.

I was looking for a safe space where I could talk about #modularsynth, #eurorack, #synthesizers, gear, musical instruments and other things that make #noise - also a place that aligns with my moral and ethical values.

Looking forward to connecting with other sound tinkerers in the Fediverse ❤️

PSA there is a reissue of the Ectocore module which was originally put out by Toadstool Tech, who did the hardware, and Infinitedigits on software. Infinitedigits has erased Toadstool's name from everything, reverse engineered the hardware, and put out a rerelease through a manufacturer without Toadstool's name on it.

The project was not open source and Izaak of Toadstool receives no compensation for this new module, even though it wouldn't exist without his hardware design. Do not support Infinitedigits.

Toadstool's trademark is blue panels, and this new reissue is black.

Izaak is a wonderful member of the Earth Modular Society community and good friend of mine.

Ok, synthesizer nerds. Why does a control voltage cable need a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connector? Asking for a friend *ahem*.

Anyone have experience with the Melbourne Instruments Delia? Seems like it probably wasn't a hit and it's being discontinued, but I really like how it sounds and absolutely love the interface and a few of the features. And I figure it will probably never be worth much less than this price. (discounting the very real possibility of a total economic apocalypse.)

Bought a little synth (Roland Aira S-1) from a work colleague for a great deal and he offered to swap his MiniFreak for my MicroFreak :O

He needs more space and less keys, whereas I want more keys and have ample space (i really dont like the keys on the micro even if they look super cool)

So, I finally got my two AC adapters for the #Kawai K4 synth and the Kawai R-50e drum machine. Both of them work, but the K4 is going to need a new internal battery. The R-50e seems to be working just fine. :flan_keyboard:​:flan_drummer:​

I also decided to do a quick power check on the Kawai Q-80 sequencer, and it also works which makes me happy. I'll be ordering a proper AC adapter for that one, but I just wanted to see if it still works. I'd have to test the floppy drive, though. That might need replacing. :flan_think:​

I'm experimenting a lot with various Korg Volca combinations and some tape loops from Revelator Keats Ross in order to make some cool new background #music for my next Arbatel episode. #podcast #synthesizers

Although I would like to get #musicn running under #IBSYS at some point, and it would be an amazing project to reconstruct the #FORTRAN monitor, for now I'm going to stick with #CTSS. Unfortunately this means using the CTSS system libraries, for which the documentation is shockingly bad.

There is some surviving contemporary source code out there for reference, but also the FORTRAN and #MAD equivalent versions of what I want to do are very well documented, and it's possible to translate either of those to FAP assembly language, so probably my best bet is to go down that route and see what the assembly looks like. Once I have that I think I'm very close to having a working #musicn sequencer.

Moving back onto my #Fediverse projects for a week tomorrow, and then an offline week, but hopefully we'll have some audio output by December 7th.

Having done a bit more reading, I think the status of using punched cards for program data was very much tied to the evolution of operating systems for the #IBM7094 and related machines. I get the impression that punched cards were very much an #IBM thing, users never really liked using them, and that people abandonded them as soon as they could. I don't think they scaled well with more complex site operations and/or faster machines.

#FORTRAN II was released in 1958. It definitely eventually had a stand-alone monitor program (essentially an OS), and I have no reason not to believe it was available from the start, so I suspect this is how Mathews would have at least started work on #musicn. The FORTRAN monitor has clear support for data cards - there's a job control command to mark the start of data sections and the I/O library has support for on-line card reading.

By the time you get to 1960, #IBSYS (a later IBM operating system) has been released. This encapsulates the FORTRAN monitor, but the documentation is clear that on-line card reading via the FORTRAN I/O libraries is not available under IBSYS. It's likely that there are other libraries which do support it, but presumably this would require user code changes. I think sites were starting to switch to off-line translation of cards to magnetic tape by then anyway, although I'm not sure exactly how that would have affected programming.

By the time you get to #CTSS end users are at least strongly encouraged to use the disk filesystem for on-line applications, with operators copying disk files to and from cards or tapes in batch jobs as required. The CTSS system libraries have routines for using disk files as virtual tapes. CTSS was 1961, so I find it really impressive that this transition happened over only three years.
