Im just having a look at bitscope data aquisition ,seems really good whats going on here .

http://bitscope.com/news/

I just downloaded the software to have a look , the idea of using a farm of rasberry pi's for data aquisition /processing looks nice
Theres a guy I know who runs a reseach project for one of the universities here ,he's invloved in siesmic data aquisition  from sea bottom tranducers around the coast ,I bet he could save massively on his overheads by creating his own supercomputer from PI's.

Thats great you had time to consider waveform generation as a way of improving the performance of the Fy66/6800 Precaud,
its a question we debated a bit over the time on this topic.

Theres a few small additions on the Feeltech version 6 software that would improve it  , one is the addition of a refresh button like Fremens put on so any changes in values on the instrument itself can update the software display values,in any case toggling the 'auto connect' option reloads the values from the front panel ,  would it be possible to make a push of the encoder wheel button to get  the FY  to transmit the data from the unit to the software or could it be made to do that automatically ? seamless integration between front panel and software would just make life a small bit easier and would make whats already a very intuitive machine  really sweet. Maybe Fremens could take another crack  at hot roding Feeltech Version 6 software ,the bluepill idea is nice and allows a lot more flexibillity ,but I dont see how front panel and software can live side by side in that scenario .

 I very much like the idea of using both my  66'&68' series as four channels of audio tone generation, run from a midi sequencer  tones could be layered up to  tracks and effects and gating on the analog end could be used to produce large musical 'swirlls'.
I have a pair of boss Ce-5 chorus's run in stereo, by flipping the phase of the clean and effect return a whole load of subtle to mad wobulation type effects are possible ,flange, phase, chorus and vibrato can all be had with different panning and phasing arrangements , add in tube driven spring reverb and speed controlled mk2 Watkins copicat for tempo synched delays ,hitting one key you can sound like Vangelis or Jean Michel Jarre ,same effects chain sounds absolutely great on an open tuned guitar set up for bottle neck slide ,Id be interested to hear from any others who are already using their FY for sound and music purposes ,the foundations of electronic music were born out of laboratory equipment after all .

That last one you sent loaded up fine for me in version 6 Precaud,

I can get it shipped from a Germany warehouse, so I could at least hope for a basic 2 year warranty (and the seller also advertises 2 year warranty).

No-one has reported a brick this year, as far as I can recall, so you can feel pretty safe with the latest versions of the 6600 or 6800.  Most of the talk on here for a long time has been about making the 6600 a better machine, which we've succeeded in doing, but the 6800 will be fine out of the box as it already includes some of the improvements which were required.  (And it will be in a different league compared with those you've used so far.)

Regards,
Dave

Interesting, soundtec. That's the version I'm using...

Loads fine for me - see attached.  (Just renamed it to chrp8k.txt and in it went!)

precaud:
OK thanks guys, I guess I need to download and reinstall the software again.

BTW, the way to detect if data integrity is maintained is to load it into the text window first. That's where I saw it was duplicating points onthe 4096-point file.

Is there a link to the fremen67 version? I looked through this volumnous thread and found lots of talk but no link.
