Hi JLS,

Not much news really. After I expanded the Tonal Drum to 55 drums, I recorded Bach's Brandenburg Concerto Number 5 Movement 1 from a nicely done MIDI file I downloaded. The Tonal Drum is in there - the very sine sounding instrument is the Tonal Drum.

I don't know if I can get any more drums at the high end, the filters go berserk easily at that end of the spectrum, but 55 is very useful.

Hi

Sound is great nice work Smile

Kamil

P.S. is possible post source code for Spartan3E500 ? Thanks

The 55 drum version is for a Spartan-3A 400K gate FPGA. I looked at the source code and the 3E version is 32 drums, but the current patch editor (required to tune the drums) won't work with the 32 bit version... I don't know when I'll have time to port it.

Beautiful track -- very colorful. And really clean, too.

I've expanded the Spartan-3E Starter Kit version. It now supports 55 resonators. Sample rate of 150+ kHz. DDR SDRAM supports 55.7+ seconds of looped delay.

The reason for the 55 resonators and not 64 is that the higher in pitch a state variable filter is used, the tricker it is to keep resonance from turning into runaway oscillation. Even at 55 the top 8 or 9 resonators had to be hand tweaked.
