This invention will revolutionise your DJ set/live
PA!!
What is it?
This device will allow you to finely control the
tempo of all MIDI and SYNC24 devices to allow you to 'mix' your own
beats/material into a DJ set.
You'll be able to make the device using the schematics I've put up. MIDI
is allowed through a programmable logic chip (I'll uploaded the
designs), but the SYNC24 only uses simple components you can get
easily. With some minor knowledge anyone can build it, and it will be
cheap.
The concept also has applications for sound-tracker artists who want to
record external sounds into their compositions - in time and without
bother. I guess MPC owners could use it too - as you can't play/record
samples simultaneously on those things.
The Deal
All this info is provided on trust. Please don't rip it off and say its
your work, or make money from it. You also have to email me if you use any
of this stuff. This is just so I know if people are interested in the
project.
This site is delibrately unprofessional as a reaction against the projects
I have to do properly ;-> However it is just as descriptive.
Finally I can certainly say this circuit works - I built myself and I use
it all the time. However if anything bad happens it's all your fault, and
not mine.

Technical
Infos for SYNC24:
The chip I use to provide MIDI output is a special programmable logic chip
called a CPLD. The technical terms disguise how easy these devices are
to use:

- 12v - 15v DC now recommended for power - please ignore other
references
- I decided not to do a guide for constructing the DJ
device - only schematics. This is because of the effort needed, I'd do it
but I'm not sure how popular it would be. I welcome any novice
constructors who want to build one, its not too bad to do as I've done the
tricky design work.
- It is possible to build my DJ Device on strip/vero board. I have done
board layout GIFs for these. If you want them email me.
- MIDI works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and almost all the information is uploaded now
- SYNC24 version finished -
You can get all the information I have from the links above
I should say its possible to build a SYNC24 version and leave MIDI out if
you don't need it
