Re: Recording setup(s)

I've been primarily recording to a circa 1993 digital four track hard disk recorder (with a ZuluSCSI HDD emulator replacing the VERY noisy OEM SCSI drive). Recently I've been recording my live sets on two tracks, and then grabbing some of the previous sets playback as a sound source. Here we see the...

Re: Thread for random DIY-related questions

Trying to make an “interface” for my Zoom recorder. Basically, I need something that will attenuate the signal going into each individual input on the Zoom (in 4CH mode, this means IN1, IN2, and the EXT. MIC input serving as an additional stereo input). I could reduce the input gain on the zoom, of...

Re: Build Shit - DIY - What's On Your Bench?

Congrats on sorting it to a point at which you're happy. I was absolutely not in the position to digest the operation of the original circuit and superimpose that over the modifications you have made in order to derive ideas for why it might now be malfunctioning. I'm not smarts enough for that.

Re: Cool Gear Alert

So do you own another S2000? I just own the one S2000 that I picked up the other day, my very first interaction with this model. Though it can be argued that the MPC 2000xl that I have owned for decades runs the same topology, there are operational differences - the MPC pretty much acts like a drum...

At the time I grabbed this screenshot it was simply a cool thing for a decent price. Now I could plant it in the recent acquisition thread, but I had already started to reply before I left to buy.

Re: I need a simple blend control

Complicate it by adding an active boost for each pickup than blending that.

Here's a crudely depicted passive solution, resistances to be derived from experimentation (it'll be lossy no matter how you slice it).

Some operational hiccups aside,

the circuit shows promise.

Next build out will include matched transistors instead of the random grab from above.
