Sweet.

This is the most exciting NAMM for me in a while. The Rhodes mk 7 is revealed, too!

I've thought about this quite a bit. I assumed this is how the Voyager's knobs worked, but it sounds like its closer to how the LP's knobs work. Here's how I would do it, I don't know how they really work, but humor me. So you have an analog pot, it controls a parameter directly according to whateve...

Hmmm, I was under the impression that they were analog and only the value was stored then transmitted back to the parameter. Wonder where I got that idea...

Well, if the knobs are digital they certainly show no audible zippering! Had me fooled!

Re: i see..

Are the pots on the Voyager analogue or are they digital? I thought I had heard that they were not analog but had a high digital resolution. Nope, they're all analog. The valued that's stored as a preset is digital. When the preset is recalled, this stored value is sent back to whatever parameter i...

The largest number of steps I've seen on a digital pot is 256 (8 bits). Not really enough for a smooth sweep.

Anyone seen any digital pots with more? Some of those VA synth are pretty smooth, so they must exist.

Yeah, there's not going to be ban on smoking in bars anywhere in the South any time soon. That's tobacco country.

On the other hand you know us Californians, we're all tofu turkeys and wheatgrass shots. I LOVE not reeking of stale cigarettes after a gig.

You've really never given out your home address on the internet? You've never bought anything, or payed a bill? Your info is not truely safe anywhere, if someone really wants it they'll get it.

If your so worried about that, just give a fake home address. Simple.

I think it depends on type of flux and the circuit. Recently at my work, I was prototyping a circuit that ran on very high voltage (>1500V), very low current and had very small surface mount components. I had to scrub the hell out of that thing to make sure there was no flux on it, because it could ...

I forgot to mention that one thing to consider is that the pot from a volume pedal is probably logarithmically scaled. Expression pedals use linearly scaled pots, so you may need to swap the pot out altogether for a linearly scaled one. Just make sure it fits and that the the little toothed gear fro...

Seems like you could just get something similar from mouser.com or digikey.com. They wouldn't be the same as the original, but they would certainly work.

The expression pedals are completely passive, no voltage source needed. All you need to do is this: The only thing you need from the exp. pedal is the potentiometer, disregard all other circuitry in there. If the 1/4 inch jacks in the pedal are not TRS (they probably aren't) you will need to swap th...

Glad it worked out! I guess the demand was great enough that Jomox reissued it. Thats cool, that thing has some crazy bass.
