I see Jimmy "builds" by putting stuff together in a cool way, and maybe had to cut a fan hole or 2
Does anyone else build or modify stuff?
today i built a "where's the party at" board, its an 8 bit sampler,
previously i have built a few amplifiers and speakers, MIDIfied a speak and spell
I am working on my "planck" which is a guitar that works like the moog guitar but also has keys for each string
you can actuall "pluck" the string with a powerful electromagnet and key so you can get different attack envelopes with different amounts of "scrape" and so on, and sustain can be varied by holding the key at different pressure.
unpressed keys can electronically mute strings, and keys can be "locked" so you can forcibly mute strings when thay are not purposley played (good for crappy players like me!)
the onboard power is from a cordless drill battery, that way you can have 2 and quickly change it between songs once it starts to get low.
i hope to make it last longer than it takes to quick charge a battery
it only will use a lot of power when the amplifiers have to do an attack, keeping sustain going hardly uses any power (my ebow still has only had the battery replaced 2 times i bought it 8 years ago)signal processing will be designed in scope and once i get it how i want it, an actual onboard circuit will be built. (if i am still alive
)that thing is still in early stages, but its more than a dream now, thanks to scope
