Well, thanks for the time, goodbye all! 😊👋

SHIK12:49 PM
Cheers

cheers

mitxela12:50 PM
Someone mentioned Korg earlier - I like Korg and their attempts to make miniature versions of their earlier synths. I don't own any of them but I applaud their goal. Also, they tend to release the schematics for them too, which is awesome

charliex12:50 PM
yeah also they are fun to hack

SHIK12:51 PM
nts-1 is great idea

mitxela12:51 PM
I have a monotron and MIDIfied it and it was a great experience

mitxela12:51 PM
they labelled the test pads on the board

SHIK12:51 PM
Is that the one you made a video about?

Jerry Isdale12:52 PM
beyond midi, have you looked at EuroRack synths? I have some friends really into those (robodog, etc)

mitxela12:52 PM
Yes although it has very poor audio in the video, I should probably make a fresh video about it

SHIK12:52 PM
it's not poly, right?

mitxela12:52 PM
@Jerry Isdale Ah, only very briefly. Mostly I've just experimented with VCV Rack which is virtual modular

mitxela12:53 PM
Monotron is indeed mono

SHIK12:53 PM
So maybe try to make it polyphonic on your refreshed video..

SHIK12:53 PM
just an idea :)

mitxela12:54 PM
This would be very hard, seeing as it's an analog synth. You'd need to duplicate all of the circuitry to add more oscillators

mitxela12:54 PM
However, it does have an arpeggiator

mitxela12:54 PM
that I added

SHIK12:54 PM
cool

mitxela12:56 PM
I also want to make more videos about other projects, problem is making and editing videos takes so much time. I really ought to make a video about my Midi Interceptor project, that one deserves more attention

Kevin.stork12:57 PM
Thx

mitxela12:57 PM
Well, anyway, if anyone wants to talk further feel free to email me, I try to respond to everything although it sometimes takes me a few days to get back to people

charliex12:58 PM
thanks

Jerry Isdale12:58 PM
aloha! thanks for the chat!

mitxela12:58 PM
Cool - see you all next time I guess!

charliex12:58 PM
til next time

And it looks like we're up against our one-hour limit too, so good timing! I want to thank mitxela for his time today, and everyone else for the great questions.

SHIK12:59 PM
Thanks all :)

Thanks a bunch, this was great.

Next week we change gears entirely to talk about enormous Tesla coils and artificial lightning:

Physics of Lightning Hack Chat

Greg Leyh will host the Hack Chat on Wednesday, March 31 at noon Pacific. Time zones got you down? Try our handy time zone converter. Of all the things that were around to terrify our ancestors, lightning must have been right up there on the list.

adding midi to tesla coils

Yeah, maybe it's not so different after all...
