    Anyone ever use the T/X block in SpinCAD?

    LOL thanks CC, I think I am just going to try to fix the T/X block in place. As far as a "sustain" block, maybe there's a compressor with a control (or controls) at mstratman's Github repo, perhaps one of these days I can see about adding that, as long as I do not have to think too hard...

    Anyone ever use the T/X block in SpinCAD?

    The T/X block was supposedly based on this Spin Knowledge Base article which shows how to get a smooth overdrive. http://spinsemi.com/knowledge_base/pgm_quick.html#Distortion I've never really used it myself as I never thought distortion was the FV-1's strong suit. The other day I decided I'd...

    New SpinCAD Designer Release 0.98-1042 removes register limits

    https://github.com/HolyCityAudio/SpinCAD-Designer/releases/tag/0.98-1042 I have been talking to some people working on a programmable Eurorack module. They have developed a way to convert Spin ASM to C that can be compiled to run on this module. Since they are converting to C they do not have...

    Looking for .spn files for use in Disting NT

    I looked at the ES Disting NT yesterday, wasn't clear but I guess it's simulating an FV-1 on some other CPU. You can make larger patches with SpinCAD than will fit into the FV-1 already, though I don't remember by how much. I'm not much into opening up SpinCAD again personally but if someone...

    Any of the filter pedals feature 24 dB/octave?

    Yesterday I was visiting a friend who is a professional guitarist. He has been dabbling in modular synthesis lately and was saying that he wanted a filter on his pedalboard more like the Erica Synths filters , e.g...

    Filtering with FV-1

    You might also try the 1-band EQ for the notches. You'll have to determine the notch depth experimentally from the "level" parameter. Regarding bandpassing from 100 to 5 kHz I'd just implement those as separate highpass/lowpass filters.

    New SpinCAD release pending - I ain't too proud to beg.

    Thanks a bunch @Paul.Ruby :love: and anyone else who contributed! I know nothing about the Spatialist reverb. Generally speaking it's "possible" to combine SpinCAD generated code with ASM from some other source BUT there are also pitfalls that would be hard to manage unless you're familiar with...

    FV-1 DEV BOARD ...Now what? (noob woes)

    Do you have a way to select the internal programs? Sorry I am not familiar with the board. If you can run an internal program that would point to something being wrong with your EEPROM or circuit in that area. Also, try a bypass program in the EEPROM, e.g. RDAX ADCL,1 WRAX DACL, 0 RDAX...

    How to load effects into EEPROM ?

    I'm not that familiar with DA's kit but I'm fairly sure a PICKit 2 (or more likely, clone) would work well for programming. Also look into the CH341, although I have no personal experience with it. Regarding SpinCAD, you load "banks" of 8 patches or individual patches into the 8 slots and then...

    Optimizing code generated by SpinCAD

    You do get the actual count if you hover your mouse over the Instructions Used resource bar.

    Optimizing code generated by SpinCAD

    Hi Ted, well I had considered somehow displaying how "awesome" the optimizer is, but the flip side of that perspective is that it would just be pointing out the shortcomings of SpinCAD. So it's thrilling for me after all these years to have an approach, but I don't think anyone else cares as...

    Optimizing code generated by SpinCAD

    Before everyone gets too excited, the example I showed skews towards over-representing its capability. You really don't get much of anything from optimization until you are going over the 128 instruction limit. I tried a few different large designs and got from 2 to 5 instructions saved...

    Optimizing code generated by SpinCAD

    Among more elite crowds, over the tinkling of glasses of chardonnay, one can occasionally discern such statements as: "SpinCAD generates such terribly inefficient code!" accompanied by clutching of pearls and so on. I wasn't even planning on working on this, but you know how that goes. Anyway...

    DEMO A demo for April Autism Awareness month

    For anyone trying to get their special needs kids help in the public school system in the US I highly recommend this book. Yes after several years I came to the conclusion that the people at the district really WANTED to help, but they also REALLY HAD TO make it as difficult as possible. We...

    DEMO A demo for April Autism Awareness month

    My twin boys are almost 21 and are level 1. I think they're perfectly normal but the world does not. They both made it out of high school anyway. Quite the adventure along the way (that I have mostly blocked from memory). Life is so much easier that we are not constantly doing battle with...

    New SpinCAD release pending - I ain't too proud to beg.

    The irony of SpinCAD's outplaced position in my life is that I wrote it because I disliked writing FV-1 assembler so much. All the experience with those other "grown-up" languages will barely help you at all in the world of FV-1 assembler! The other irony is that as a result of all this time...

    I surpassed my fundraising goals. Thanks everyone! Note: this does not mean I am not accepting further donations. :ROFLMAO: DL
