Its probably automated to a degree and Chinese in origin so good luck getting anything done about it. RedBubble probably don't care as long as they get their cut. I wouldn't touch online services like this with a bargepole, just not worth the hassle.

    Nice demo mate.. I found your placement of the unit a little different to mine.. I keep mine on top (right under the power strip) I found it so much easier to see on stage.. I now run multiple units for different synths.. Gives a fantastic visual feedback on frequencies when using multiple synths clocked together.. Cheers 🍻 🍀🔈🎶

  • @SealeFamilyMinistries
    @SealeFamilyMinistries3 жыл бұрын

    The anomaly with the inputs and outputs allows us to make a few guesses about the circuitry inside. The benefit is almost no added distortion in the signal path. It sounds like it has a group of 1:1 transformers on the signal path between the inputs and outputs. Then it is most likely simply combined to create a mono sum. Then possibly into a small amplification stage before or after the pot labeled sensitivity. From there probably on to a A-D converter and then logic unit on its way to the display. This makes it where it doesn't distort your signal, yet keeps the price down.

    I once had a Kawai GMega. You may or may not know this already (probably do), but it's a bit more than just a General MIDI module. It's possible to program patches based on the built-in rompler tones and filter params. There was a big archive of patches floating on Yahoo! Groups back in the day, and some of them actually sound really decent.
