Default how do I add preset memory and digital control of analogue circuit ?

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.

Is there a reason not to use relays for the switches?

Mouser used to sell motorized potentiometers -- I'd check there. Even if
you're in Oz or elsewhere outside of the US the Mouser part may lead you
to a manufacturer, which may lead you to an in-country distributor.

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.

A modern device of that nature would be DSP-based, and those settings would
be DSP parameters under program control. Problem solved!

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.


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.

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.


Check the leading manfactuers of mixed-signal chips, such as National and
TI.

Ask this question in the Usenet DSP group.

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.

If I was still doing consulting/contract engineering then this is the point
where I would offer my services but, alas, I am again a corporate carpet
walking, cubicle dwelling, wage slave. ;-)

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.

The cheap way is to use a CMOS pot replacement; Maxim makes a bunch of them
that are very popular.

The expensive way is to use an attenuator built with relays and resistors.
This will invariably sound better but in plenty of applications it doesn't
matter.

There are all sorts of gadgets that will give you parallel port outputs
from whatever source you have.

That would be the ADA MicroCab speaker emulator, right?

Only a few days after I depicted the unreadable components for you (yes,
I'm van Sinn at the depot), and mentioned I might build my own _copy_

Yup, not a big task with a 20-pin PIC, eeprom, a few MIDI IFC parts, a
few 4066's and optocoupled pots - and some assembly programming..

Point of Usenet etiquitte ("netiquitte"):
It is not necessary to post individual messages of
"thanks" to each person. A single message will be
read and appreciated by everyone.

It is also undesirable to quote the entire message
back to the newsgroup, particularly if your response
is brief or only dialogs with one or two points within
the message.

We are all very happy to help you, but please
don't return the favor by posting lots of duplicate
content back to the newsgroup.

If you could reveal a bit more information about
what you are doing, it would make it easier for us
to recommend things like how to make tradeoff
decisions between programmable pots and the
more expensive alternatives (for example). Or
whether solid-state switches or traditional relays
would be better for a particular application. A
description of the salient parts of the circuit would
likely sufficice if you don't want to reveal the overall
product, etc.

Thanks.

If it weren't for rule makers and rule enforcers and people telling other
people what's right and moral, usenet would have disappeared long ago

Reading, and replying to a notorious troll
like Allison makes you a troll-helper. Some
of us have him killfiled for a good reason.
Please help maintain the SNR by stifling
your temptation to reply to this source of
noise.

That would be the ADA MicroCab speaker emulator, right?

Well, closely, my intention is to use the ADA design as a jump off
point and expanding on what they've done, adding more extensive EQ, cab
simulations
and midi control.

My apologies, I was just trying to acknowledge everyone who contributed.
The circuit I want to mod is the ADA Microcab
http://www.adadepot.com/adagear/gear...icrocab-II.htm.
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.

Point of Usenet etiquitte ("netiquitte"):
It is not necessary to post individual messages of
"thanks" to each person. A single message will be
read and appreciated by everyone.

It is also undesirable to quote the entire message back to the newsgroup,
particularly if your response is brief or only dialogs with one or two
points within the message.

We are all very happy to help you, but please don't return the favor by
posting lots of duplicate
content back to the newsgroup.

If you could reveal a bit more information about
what you are doing, it would make it easier for us
to recommend things like how to make tradeoff
decisions between programmable pots and the
more expensive alternatives (for example). Or
whether solid-state switches or traditional relays would be better for a
particular application. A
description of the salient parts of the circuit would likely sufficice if
you don't want to reveal the overall
product, etc.

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).

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