TB 303 x0xb0x WASP Overdrive partie1

YouTube via BIM0X. Be sure to watch the second and third vids if you like Daft Punk.
"Demo of the disto i've developed for TB303/x0xb0x.

This module use an Op Amp and LEDs. Remove capacitor C38 and put inside circuit. A potentiometer allows you to control the distorsion amount. Led blinks harder when sound is "arsch".
I had developed an "arscher" overdrive at first but there was no more expressivness with the knobs : it was fully overdriven all the time.
This one allows you to modulate the tone using Env Decay and Accent.

Two-Way Wireless Control Editing of the Roland Juno-2 via iPad

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Roland Juno 2 iPad controller with Arduino Ethernet demo 1

YouTube Published on Jun 25, 2012 by BIM0X

"Demo of a custom device build around Arduino in order to control the Roland Alpha Juno 2 via Wifi.

The Arduino connects the Juno2 to the Wifi network of the iPad via an Airport router, an Arduino Ethernet shield and a midi shield.

I used Touch OSC to design the controller.
Touch OSC sends OSC messages (e.g /jun/DCO_Range 2.000) which are translated by the Arduino into Midi SysEx messages.

But the Arduino also translates Midi sysex messages from the Juno 2 into OSC messages (sort of loopback) so that when you change the patch on the Juno2, faders automatically move to the right position !

The code and detailled instructions will soon be published on http://4colors.free.fr
The control design mimics Roland PG300, but better !"
