From the front, it appears to have 8 taps, but inside it actually has 16 and the presets section can access 8 at any one time. These are then globally voltage controlled. There's a built in sawtooth oscillator to make the delay act as a rough pitch shifter. It also has some looping/sampling modes. <BR/><BR/>The unit never really went into production, I know of 2 units in existence. I don't believe either works. The delay was implemented with metal can shift register chips that Intel made for memory in very early computers. These are now impossible to find in quantity and sell for more than $40 each if you do find them. The 288 uses 40 of them. I have kept all the control stuff as is and just replaced that memory with sixteen 64k RAMs. All the changes are in the digital memory section, not anything in the analog domain, so it won't change the sound or feel of the unit. <BR/><BR/>I have all the design work done on this, I just need to build a prototype.mark verboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906807282825175531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421148049293839355.post-38940212309281744592008-12-06T19:32:00.000-05:002008-12-06T19:32:00.000-05:00Also, since info on the Time Domain Processor is e...Also, since info on the Time Domain Processor is even less than SCANT, how about a briefer on what your update <I>does</I>, exactly?wavingpalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065024875871294182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421148049293839355.post-14617304968219178672008-11-26T03:57:00.000-05:002008-11-26T03:57:00.000-05:00I'll make a few of them.Dual Oscillator $1000 (4 ...I'll make a few of them.<BR/><BR/>Dual Oscillator $1000 (4 for $3500)<BR/>Quad Voltage Processor $800<BR/>Programmable Pulser $1500<BR/><BR/>Reed and I have talked and come up with some new ideas.
