Canon EOS - See Impossible

Ah well. The name came during coding as it was quite challenging, close to the edge of sanity - EOS, so naturally I combined the abbreviation with sequencer.

marc will not mind, but are you aware that the name collides a bit with the eowave brand.

rare because it was defacto highest-end even back then. its just the highest quality 888/24 upgrade there was after the AD8000SE.

Ok, continuing the heavy off topic.

I managed to rewrite the midi parser and now gracefully ignore SPP and all other kinds of non supported messages and even running status works now. Development of code has come to an end and soon it will be released as a DIY kit, probably everything will go open source a bit later too. The enclosure seen in the video is the (almost) final version. Goal of the project was to create a step sequencer for midi that is as simple and cheap as possible.

I still need to create a proper promo video showing all features, for now if anybody is interested, here is a basic video manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVSvoKISCuA&ab_channel=gb

I registered the domain http://www.eoseq.com which contains the manual and build guide.

The device now has all features i could imagine, that fit into memory. Its the maximum that is possible on the atmega 328. To add new features i would have to remove other features.

Ok this is all rather rare stuff that is harder to find in Europe. And i probably need only 8 tracks, maybe even a small 2 track interface will do. From what i have seen only some types of Powerbook G3 still have the serial port and later it was gone, so no Opcode Studio Interface.

I dont know how well USB interfaces perform but i guess like on any system they suffer from USB polling rate, so no precise midiclock output is possible? Ideally i would go for an easily available cheap firewire interface with audio and USB, which are all listed here in the forum.

A pity the MOTU 828 mk2 doesnt do midi in OS9.

I mean it is just a fancy idea to have SVP on a dedicated laptop so i can copy session over that i recorded on my "stationary" setup and be able to still edit them in SVP, and under circumstances also record some more parts. Its about having a portable setup without having to drag the quicksilver, monitor etc...

As another option i still have a 2013 macbook with logic pro and MOTU ultralite mk3 Hybrid which performs excellent with a multilingual firewire cable, but somehow it would be nicer to produce everything inside SVP.

Listening to my g4mini playing records of open reel tapes that were digitized on the g4mini OS9 

still sold today and seems to be just the same device.......
maybe i'll give it a try

hello all,
"just one more thing" (sorry couldn't avoid it)
found another usb recording device working in Mac OS 9 on g4mini (no additional drivers needed)
it's an older minimixer ("McCrypt MX.3BT) formerly distributed by Conrad Electronics SE (germany) from 2013 roughly (see page 4 of user manual attached for operating instructions).
in system profiler it shows up as exactly the same device as ART usbphonoplus (see my former post above), at least i couldn't see any differences.........maybe due to the fact there are the same BURR BROWN chips inside?
 makes me wonder if all devices with that chips will work in OS9 on g4mini?

greetings
Tom

the paint worries you? the inside of the hinge* is what scares me to this day - because replacements are still impossible to make.

this baby has been around the world many times and has some history to tell. it was an audio production / movie making machine.

all power cables will eventually fail, thats why you have backups and remakes are easily made as long as you have the connector of the original.

it is astonishing its in this lightly worn condition, i agree.

msata is already ordered, adapter i still got one left.
