MicroDexed - DX7 to go

DAC, headphones and hdmi looking at the README.

Floyd Steinberg just posted a nice Minidexed how to video. MINIDEXED - honey, I shrunk my DX7 collection - YouTube

Yes I’m getting interested in in ear monitoring. Do you reckon wifi is light enough to handle, this with ā€˜acceptable’ ( There’'s a weasel word) delays?

I’ve looked at some commercial stuff and it is beginning to disappear into a flurry of licence and such like lockins.

I was thinking of something different. The bluetooth headphones runs a processor similar to the teensy 3.6 as far as I can tell. Therefore, run MicroDexed directly in the earpieces. They don’t support wifi.

The in ear Dx7!

Everybody gets their own in a silent disco…

I had a go on my old model 1 B and it wasn’t happy, fell over after playing a few chords. If you have a model 1 B+ it may be different as those have I2S available? I tried Minisynth Pi on exactly the same setup and it was rock solid.

edit: my pi3 is doing the same. so maybe it’s just me :smiley:

In-ear DX seems like the ultimate statement in self indulgent musicanship and could be an April Fools joke! Only the keyboardist can hear themselves!!! :smile:

Moi…? Cest vrai!

Frankly the arrangers choice of string patch is completely at odds with what the composer intended so I’m going to substitute a rack of tubas just for my personal in ear mix…

When do we get the in ear TX816…?

Hey Zynthian Friends,

looks like i completly missed out this thread so far, what a shame :_(

I just had a look at this project @nxl … Looks great… There appears to be CV inputs as well… Can you tell me more about how the cv’s work, please?

Hi MrBroccoli,
currently we do not have hardware cv in/outs. But there is USB MIDI and classic MIDI available that you could use with an external MIDi to cv converter.
Or are you meaning something different maybe ?

Sorry. I looked again and can’t even see what made me ask. Maybe too early on a Sunday for my addled brain.

no worries. Let me know if other questions come up :_)

Now come on Mr Broccoli back in you bed…

seems we have solved all issues with the external flash chip.
progress now continues much faster :_)

Hi @nxl , glad to know your project is still on the move. :+1:

As I understand, you are using Teensy4.1 but it’s already out of stock in the PJRC store. While Teensy4.0 are available.
Do you think this could be a big issue ?b

Teensy 4.0 has less pins and less Progmem. The pins will not be enough for the current components. Other than that it could be used, in theory. I hope these market shortcomings will not stay forever.
From what i have heard, the Raspberry Pi Prices are also 3x or 4x of that they were in the past.

Ok, thank you.

Yeah, let’s hope things will get better.
Because, I really want to try your musical box. :wink:
