G'day all
I've designed and am in the process of making a speaker emulator for Pro Audio recording application and would like to add preset memory and midi program change to the unit. Trouble is I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I'm looking for digital control of 4 pots and half a dozen switches. If anyone could please point me in the direction of what hardware I need and how it's set up (books, articles websites etc.) it would be greatly appreciated. I did electronics at Box Hill TAFE 25 years ago and I'm just getting back into it for fun after spending years in audio sales and PC networks. Building stuff is much more fun. |

There are lots of ways to switch, starting with humble old relays and moving up from there. How you switch depends upon what you switch. You're the judge of the best method, depending upon your requirements. Pots are also a concern when you mention "Pro Audio." I'd suggest you Google for keywords 'digital potentiometer' then look at some data sheets for the chips you'll find. Are digital pots compatible with your system requirements? If not, there are motorized mechanical pots out there that have the same electrical characteristics as standard pots. One of these driven by a stepper motor might be compatible with computer control, providing repeatibility of its settings. Once you know what switches and pots are compatible with your system requirements, we can move on toward automating the arrangement. Assuming, of course, the folks in rec.tech don't point you to an off-the-shelf solution right off the bat. Tom |

There are such things as digital potentiometers, and there are also such things as digitally-controlled analog chips that serve a similar purpose. There are definately electronic switches that can be digitally-controlled.

One way to get where you want to go is to use digital potentiometers and switches/multiplexers such as those offered by Maxim/Dallas. You can check them out at http://www.maxim-ic.com/ where many useful data sheets and app notes may be obtained. That's the easy part. The hard part is that you will also need to incorporate and program a microprocessor to control these devices, store the presets, and support the MIDI communication.

I did electronics at Box Hill TAFE 25 years ago and I'm just getting back into it for fun after spending years in audio sales and PC networks. Building stuff is much more fun. A typical logic-controlled device is the common 4066 CMOS quad bilateral switch for low-level (audio, etc.) signals. There are now solid-state devices for higher- power switching in addition to the perinneal favorite relays. Both motorized physical pots and "digital pots" are available for logic-controlled adjustment of pot settings. For example, www.digikey.com shows over 3400 different kinds of digital pot ICs. Motorized pots are frequent favorites with several surplus electronic web vendors. www.allelectronics.com usually has at least one or two, but none at the moment. One of my favorite vendors is www.sparkfun.com You can certainly find a microcontroller solution there that is inexpensive. Some of them (like the "PIC-Axe" series) are simple to program and cheap to play with (little more than a serial cable from your computer). There are likely MIDI-decoding software routines for many of those micro-controllers available free online. |

This will invariably sound better but in plenty of applications it doesn't matter.

I plan to add additional EQ and cab sims and was thinking about adding presets and midi program change and was wondering what it was going to take. I haven't even had the time to check all the supplied resources out yet. I may see _some_ point in additional EQ, though not a lot, as the µCab already feature several sims and a switch for 'bright' speakers. Maybe a presense control. Take a look at the Ampulator for ideas on more or different cab sims; that's what I'm doing. As to MIDI controls, IMO all that's needed is being able to switch between the various sims and add some means to switch bright, thump and some added EQ (i.e. presence) in/out. Shouldn't be too hard to implement using a 20 pin PIC. Let's continue in the thread you started on the adadepot (when it's up again after maintenance). -- Kind regards, Mogens V. |

I only had a cursory glance at the Ampulator. I'll read up. |
