This means you can emulate with full accuracy the Access Virus A, B, C, TI / Clavia Nord Lead 2X, 3, Modular / Waldorf Q, Microwave II / Novation Supernova, Nova .. and they’re starting to target others ..
There are plenty of other 56K DSP apps out there - not just synthesizers - so if this proves effective it could mean a lot to certain folks who still have big deployments of these chips, in terms of product life-cycle.
Monome:
Two simply AMAZING synth platforms of the 21st century which push things even further than the mainstream hardware vendors are willing to allow. Note that the third-party clone market for these machines is simply exploding. You can do your own Zynthian easily enough, or Monome too .. or you can find a maker who will build you one for a very nice price very easily too. Both offer 100% open and extremely powerful architectures for synth hacking and the offerings for both platforms are simply astonishing. Worth doing some homework if you’re into it.
DIY more your thing? The FundamentalFrequency LMN-3 might be up your alley:
https://github.com/fundamentalfrequency
Runs JUCE plugins, is kind of a cyberpunks’ Teenage Engineering OP1, without the fuss and nonsense ..
Just off the top of my head. ;) Of course, the impulse to recommend VCVRack is pretty high (https://vcvrack.com/) as is the endlessly amazing vista and extraordinary capabilities of the Eurorack scene, if that’s your thing ..
See also, matrixsynth:
They both often have the same content, but CDM has a nicer vibe that I feel more comfortable suggesting ..
Assuming this is possible, any resources for learning how to go about it? What little I have found has relied heavily on the DSP being well documented.
Apologies if OP video goes into this, internet is not cooperating right now and steaming is not going to happen. Looking forward to watching it, never pass on anything that might offer even a tiny glimpse into reverse engineering the Micron.
Yes, that's what the talk is about. It's probably an interesting watch to you since they actually went through a couple of different approaches to end up with a working emulation.
It's not surprising they doubled the clock rate to 88.2kHz to simplify anti-aliasing, but it is curious the choice of the CD audio frequency of 44.1kHz and not the DAT tape frequency of 48kHz.
It's hard not to get nostalgic about the 90s when watching this video.
Side note: does anyone know what the song played at 4:30 is called? It sounds very familiar but I can't remember its name at all.
Edit: I found it, it's "Barthezz - On The Move" but played at a slower BPM.
