Well, it's been a couple months, so I figured I should drop in suddenly.
(And probably drop out as suddenly!) ;-) Summers are the busiest time of
year for me...
I've got a couple things going that are keeping me quite busy. I've got a
panel making and silkscreening business, so I'm having fun planning out some
destruction for one of my C-16 controllers. (Different colors and wooden
end cheeks...) The other thing I've gotten into is microcontroller
programming - anybody interested in motorized faders? (He asks
mysteriously...)
If anyone makes tee shirts, you *MUST* make them in XXL size so that I can
wear them!
Doug
P.S. Kim, I'll send you an email later today or over the weekend. Just let
me know when things change and I'll update it on my end. I'll give you my
text pager email address so that you can let me know even if I'm not online.
Also, one possibility, since it's NNTP, is that I could set up a backup
server over here and sync up with yours...

Doug,
Motorized faders in a Paris rig would be a god send!
If you can get it working you can count me in.

I have the great fortune of having a special phone connection to Doug.
Every so often I give him a ring and we chit-chat about life, music,
and various projects on our benches. Mine ideas are all theoretical,
whereas his are actually being engineered and programmed, or at least,
he has an idea what it would take to get the job done.
One idea we bounced around recently got proposed here, but no one
seemed interested, so I guess it has died. I thought, with his
silk-screening ability, Doug could figure out how to repaint blackface
C16s to blueface. Actually what I want is to render C16s into C16Pros.
I don't want to have to tape labels to my C16 to get it to work in
ParisPro mode. We asked if anyone else would be interested, but none
seemed to care.
Another idea has to do with building a box that converts the signals
passing back and forth from the EDS to the C16. Doug assures me that
the EDS end of the cat5 cable is a serial port, so I envision a box
that converts the serial data stream to appropriate MIDI commands.
Working in either direction would be a plus since it could mean using
other controllers with Paris, or using the C16 with other software.
Doug has some other ventures going on that I won't divulge, but I hope
he is successful with them. Cool things would surely result.

Friend of mine has a Massenburg Automation system that's giving
him occasional fits. Typical non-supported product issues...
you know, beeyatch to find people who know how to work on it,
there's a diagnostic device that exists, but Rick Rubin has the
only known working one, having to find & fly people in who
worked on the orginal product in order to fix it - shit like
that. Was just thinking if you'd gained any knowledge on these,
I could hook you up.

Well, at the moment, I know nothing about how the Massenburg works. I'll
keep my ear to the ground and if I learn anything about it, I'll let you
know. Right now I have a couple projects on the bench - a custom foot
controller (22 buttons, four line VFD) and a 16+1 motorized fader control
panel. Both were originally designed to go with the Looperlative LP1, but
have expanded a *bit* beyond that...

Hmmm, let me see what I can do. I have lots of R-Bus stuff, so I can
envision all kinds of fun projects. :-) So, what are you trying to
accomplish?
I recently bought an older, but still quite nice, logic analyzer. I've
been having fun watching the signals go by on the various lines of the
EDS cables. Hopefully I can finish up the EDS to dual-ADAT converter
one of these years. I wonder how many of those I can fit in a 1U box...
