Hi guys!
I found this thread with some generic googling. I guess Dogma pointed me to this specific thread but I can't remember.
So, some notes.
- when I said "we're at AES". We spent 17 days in California. AES meant from sep 27 to oct 15 for us. So, yes, we were at AES ;D
- the request by Dogma came out really badly, something like "can I have the schematics so I can publicly submit them to xxx's analysis and possible approval?". My answer was "Yes, if xxx sends me a schematic of theirs for public approval by me". Sounds harsh? What would you have answered? Dogma is a smart and nice guy (
) but the request just came out bad, ah ah! No, nobody is going to submit the schematics of an original project to third party public approval. Oh, I love xxx's products and businesses, I also met them at Musikmesse, but you got the point. Ask me about how it works if you want, I'll be happy to answer. But that's all chatting. We're uploading some more detailed videos, they mean more than chatting.
This is SKnote in California
The yellow tool on the left is a Pulse Wave Modulated board managed by our colleague Antonio ;D
Yes, several kits have been sold. This project started as a collaboration with an italian magazine (Computer Music Studio), that's why it wasn't advertized out of Italy at first (note how the thread on GS wasn't started by me). Now it is becoming a finished product, too. While it was designed as a palette for better definition of the behaviour by collaboration (timings, curves, ranges, etc.), today we closed our configuration for it and called it "Leso".
Here is the first video. It is in italian language so I guess it is useless but here it is. Loading some more (in my weird english)

This short video I recorded shows PWM working. I thought it was nice to see if you didn't really see it and you are a newbie but interested to the tech side of things

The clicks you can hear is me changing release time settings, reflecting in the way the waveform goes back to "closed"
Some tech notes:
- there isn't any transformer. Active balanced line interfacing by That Corp. "inGenius" circuits
- no tubes :
;D
- no digital. Anywhere. I saw a post here asking if software_bla_bla meant digital sidechain. NO! There is an audio external sidechain input. Being it audio (and not some kind of control voltage), you can process that audio in any way you like before sending it to the comp. So, for example, you can send audio to inputs, set the comp to "external sidechain", send a copy of the audio through a crazy chain of plugins and then to ext sc input. So, you get infinite possibilities of control on the sidechain. That's what we mean.
I don't remember how this forum manages replies, please send me an email if you are waiting for some answer from me and I'm not appearing here :

Ok, I set the thread for an email notification
