MidiStick V2.0: Next gen tesla coil interrupter

[TMaxElectronics]

Hypervoice is a feature that I added to the Midistick quite a while ago. It adds a second pulse with adjustable phase to each note. So for example at a phase of 90° you would get a second pulse after one quarter of the period of the note expired. That effect adds much more depth to the sound, and also allows for more expressiveness. Especially when you add modulation to that phase in VMS it starts sounding really good

The current Firmware has the feature sort of hidden away a bit, because I wasn't 100% confident in it when I released it. It is however used in some of the example vms maps and you can enable it for sid playback (there the phase is adjusted based on the pulse width register) by enabling the experimental features in the show mode window:


Keep in mind that for some songs that will reduce the audio quality instead of increasing it. When a high note is playing using the effect the overall volume drops down pretty far and you don't really hear the other tracks too much anymore. That is mitigated by the volume scaling feature in the new software I'm working on, but for the moment you can't really do much other than disabling hypervoice again.

...designing a little case to go around the stick.

I was working on something similar while I wait for my stick to arrive, can't wait!

Do you have a CAD file for this?

I can't seem to get hyper voice to work. I enable like you've shown, but nothing changes,
and after closing show mode and reopening it, the "show experimental features" box is un-selected again.
Any ideas what's going on?

[TMaxElectronics]

The box unselecting itself is intentional,. But what exactly do you mean with "nothing changes"? The effect depends on the SID you are trying to play, some don't actually use the effect at all. It could also depend on the settings you have selected for your coil (ontime, dutycycle etc.). The setting also doesn't exist in midi mode, as hypervoice is controlled by VMS there.

Ok, I see. I was trying to use it for midi mode.
Some sort of tutorial on how to create VMS maps would be really nice, unless you're planning to change how it works with the new version.
