I didn't put too much effort into the pitch shifter blocks of SpinCAD for reasons previously stated. You might wind up having to hand edit coefficients in Spin ASM or use something like a Pot skip structure to get discrete settings from a Pot input.

It's got 5 pins, and a push switch so 2 of those are for the switch. This leaves 3, which I assume are 2 quadrature outs and the common. You'd have to add logic or something like a PIC to that to get a parallel digital output. I assume the 30 position are the detents. I could be wrong of...

The last time I checked, which was years ago, I came to the conclusion that perhaps pitch shift down simulation in SpinCAD is not accurate. I spent quite a bit of time getting the chorus simulation to work properly but, as I didn't write any of that code originally, it was guess work. I sold...

I think I suggested that you try the Pitch Up Down block in a response to one of your other messages. If I remember correctly it puts out one octave up and one octave down at the same time. I'm sorry I don't take requests to build patches but it should be fairly easy to put together. DL

These .spincad files are source code for many of the blocks in the SpinCAD program. I've written an elaborate document about how to add your own blocks to the program but that is for really advanced users. At this point I don't know what you are asking for. The SpinCAD Designer Program...

Neither, those are "SpinCAD Builder" files which is how new blocks get added to the program. You are looking for .spcd files which are binary and can be loaded into SpinCAD Designer. Thx, DL

Nope, I checked in some code on a branch, but in my experience, chatGPT either gets it or starts going in circles, and I wasn't getting anywhere. Then my annual reserve of energy to deal with SpinCAD (which gets lower every year; I'm fully a geezer now) ran out!

I'd suggest using the Pitch Up Down block. I don't remember exactly what it does, but maybe it will do what you want. SpinCAD is a tool, and as such may require some learning curve (along with understanding at least something about the FV-1 architecture) to get the most out of it. In case...

SpinCAD won't open .spn files. I don't know that one can do intelligent harmonization on the FV-1, only fixed intervals that IMO don't sound all that great due to the linear interpolation. You might look at the Github archive under the name mstratman...

Well yeah, but the series resistor sets the diode current in relation to the input voltage, assuming a low impedance source. Unless you subsequently buffer the output, the resistor is also setting the output impedance (when you're not clipping), and if you have series capacitance, the high pass...

What's your OS?

Lots of projects don't need the ability to change the clock. Generally speaking most people who do want to change the clock want to make it slower so they can get longer delays etc. This comes at the expense of sound quality, but in many cases a murkier sound is okay. See the Erica Synths...

You can save a single patch as ASM or save a Spin Project from 8 patches which creates individual .spn files as well as the prj file used by Spin's IDE (which does you no good on a Mac). Unless you just wanted to see how the disassembler works, there's no particular need to use one if all you...

Yes. Looks like it's actually C++ though (to be honest I'm not 100% sure). In any case, take a look here: https://github.com/expertsleepersltd/distingNT/tree/main/tools/three_pot

"Eclipse" is the IDE I used to develop SpinCAD Designer. It's not the JRE itself. The Java version of Eclipse is the one you use to work on Java code. Why this issue is happening on Mac (even to me) remains a mystery. Thanks for your info. DL
