DIY 51x Console ? ... Just a thought

[2Low]

If i had the knowledge and the money ( dream on ;D ) , i´d build something like this :

I would change the keyboard...  ;D

 

[2Low]

...for a Memory Moog ?

You´re welcome

Is the Moog already Snow Leopard compatible or do we need a firmware upgrade ?

I had an idea last year for making one

Would definitely want it to be 51X.

Well,

If you're going to integrate a screen,

It should really look like this!

It's great isn't it?

It's a Polish analogue computer

...looks like a cross between the Jetsons home studio and something from the original Mission:Impossible series!

;D

Shame,



  it ought to pass some kinda analog audio signal looking like that . . .



     

 

[Mark Burnley]

well...

I've got some old "Feedback" analogue computer trainer modules, and I use them for synthesizing 808-ish drum sounds.

An analogue computer is not a million miles from a state-variable filter (i.e. parametric EQ)

...and it was only through the development of analogue computers that we have our op-amp designs...

Check out this PDF...

...and many early analogue synths were educational analogue computer modules adapted for audio frequency oscillations...

Very cool...

 

[strangeandbouncy]

Mark,


  thank you very much for that! Fascinating stuff! It's great to get some history as well for a change. It is easy to loose sight of where it all came from and why.



      Awesome bedtime readin', when you want to stimulate the grey cells, but not too much!

The Neumann analog computers in the VMS66/70 are still in use. They will surely outlast the Zuma's.
