Moving faders for vca SSL consoles

[PelleG]

Yeah yeah.

Reminds me of an article I read about the "creator" of Bob the builder & Fifi and the flowertots. There are actually no creative action behind it. Everything is based on market surveys. A bunch of screener kids deciding every turn of the synopsis. Every color, everything.
The creator where asked questions about messages and signals. He just answered numbers. Sales and curves.
Very sexy. 


Well. I know I gave in to the HUI support in the end. Because, myself, I hate the inaccuracies and limitation it brings.
It was a fun challenge after all. And I'm happy about my implementation.

...but, I use stock P&G faders and knobs all the way. The knobs need to be conductive so the white ones doesn't work.

Pricing is left to figure out. I need to talk to the dealers first. I don't want to be too far off range with the first run.

Pelle,

Are you going to still have the option that uses your current VCA faders on the desk as described in one of the options? Keep feeding us information and let us salivate about what will be possible with our desks

[Artur D'Assumpção]

Great work Pelle!!!! Very excited to see that you've finally decided to go through with it and finalize it!

These are great news for everyone.

By the way, will you be able to support the ultimation faders?

Thrilled to hear about what's coming!

Cheers,

Artur

Thanks. I haven't looked into ultimation. No idea how it interfaces.
If someone has a schematic or block I can try to get a hint of the effort needed.

I will announce the system on the website in a couple of weeks.

I will also demo it in the LA area in late February March. Try to do something in London as well.

Pelle,

I will get everything you need for ultimation when I have my new console commissioned.

Good luck with it!! You deserve it! Keep us updated!

Cheers,

Artur

IO Cards are being assembled as I type.
Main chassis test unit arrived and approved last week.
Software is rocking ... but I always have new updates in my head.

Anyway. I'm working on the website / webshop. As soon as it's up I'll be ready to take orders.

Best,
Pelle

Hi Pelle!

Looking awesome! I'm happy you got the time to take it all the way! I'm eager to see the finished product!

Do you already have a price model for it?

Cheers,

Artur

Pelle,

Where are you with the recall of part of the system?

[PelleG]

Pelle,

Where are you with the recall of part of the system?

The recall software bit is still left to do. Frankly, I've never used the original. I've taken snapshots but never recalled them (always nailed it on version 1 mixes :-).
So, I need to collect some experience.
It's fairly easy to connect to the system for a third party developer.
Compared to the real time sync stuff involved with the automation it's a walk in the park.
I doubt the feature will take long to develop.
Hardware support is already built in.
We'll see what the demand is.

Actually. The hardware is also kind of open. It's like a 96 channel cv in / out box. Pretty cool if you have a moog modular.

I'm working on a new motor fader design. It connects directly to the same ribbon the original VCA connects to . It's very cool.

The system can now be installed on any console. Not only SSL.

Pelle, personally you're never going to sell the unit without TR active.. it has to do at least what the SSL studio computer can do as a minimum, unless it's very cheap.

In terms of a working 4/6/8K facility, TR is an essential asset.

Your competitor is Dramastic, who quoted on the phone $12K for a 40 channel system.

Darn. Then there'll be some boxes covered by dust in my workshop, I guess. :-)

[perfectsnd]

$12K is very, very expensive. That is way above what I heard they were going to be released at.
