Hey David, I think I get the idea, but what does 'mpu' stand for? I'd love to use one for the neon sign idea, and for the arc welder... maybe we can trade...
... Ok, mpu = microprocessor. Just tell me what you need. The processor has 6 pins, one is dedicated a an input, the rest can be inputs or outputs. David...
Hey Jeff, Better late than never... sorry it took so long to get back. We've done a fairly substantial rebuild on the website, introduced three new scenes...
Hey Will, Been 'away' for a while, but held onto this email because it was intriguing... The dream lights are simply audio in four frequency bands on each of...
Hey David, I can cobble up the arc welder and neon sounds easily enough, and well make them available to you and/or the group. It just needs to run when it...
Dear Modellers, Sound Techs, Sequential lighting for effects, with sound? Sounds like an application a few modelling friends wanted to get happening. A...
I thought I’d suggest it anyway. Would there be any point using a contact microphone (like the old C-Ducer (sp?)) to record some component of loco or other...
... I'm using my Dream Player to simulate traffic on a crossing railroad line. My Southern Pacific layout has an interchange and crossing with the Western...
Hey Professor, I may have been lobbied by the same folks (a sub group of the industrial sig). The steel mill fellows are a dedicated and serious group as far...
Hey Jess, Think I'll pass on the peacock:). Not sure about the use of a contact mic, but it may not be as silly as you think. It might be a bit messy, locos...
Hey Robert, Really great to hear about a practical application, and such a creative one at that. Am perhaps most delighted to hear that you are creating your...
Hey Bob, The Whitby is in a caricature of scales, but it starts at 7/8" at the trackwork and works its way up to 1,5":). It is a stand off design, but I did a...
Hey all, Been neglecting the group a bit in the past few weeks, but only because we were busy doing some fairly cool things (we hope:). First off, we have...
JIM: Along the lines of the stamping mill, I have a furniture factory as a centrepiece. The prototype was originally steam powered;-} then became electrified,...
Hey BOB, A furniture factory is a good one. I did one for a railroadies client several years ago, but it was a one off, that is, it was only one relatively ...
JIM: Thanks for the usual quick response! My furniture factory prototype is on the switching yard;-} almost right across from the passenger station. I plan to...
Hey Bob, Not always quick, just happen to be in the neighborhood today:). Those 'switching environments' are to serenade the engineers/operators... not the...
Dear Jess, Sound Techs, Sample Hunters, Jess, not a silly idea, but one that may require more research. The C-Ducer is a PZM (Pressure Zone Microphone), and is...
Prof, Thanks for the info about PZMs. I’ve never actually used one, just seen the ads in Sonics when I was doing stage lighting. If you want to get ambient ...
Hey Professor, Jess, and all, I didn't realize C-Ducer was a PZM (pressure zone mic). I mistakenly thought Jess was referring to a 'contact mic', something...
My guess is that a contact mic would certainly give "some component of loco sound" -- likely all the internal clanking & screeching that would be hard to...
A couple comments and ideas: Sorry but I can not claim to be a PZM or Ribbon or microphone expert. Used the Crown PZM's for theatre stage pickups for a few...
Dear Jim, Jess, Sound Techs, Sample Hunters, Model Railroaders, A PZM/Ribbon/Contact mic is a specialised version of a condensor mic. Instead of having a...
Here's a thought. I publish two free eMagazines - 'On30 Tracks' (http://www.on30.info) and 'HOn30 Lines' (http://www.hon30.info). As I already have a web...
Dear Bill R (TimberBeast), Some of the list members are currently working on a series of "How-To's" as we speak, covering various topics mentioned on the list...
Hey Bill, As the professor has eluded to, there are some things very much like what you are thinking about... on the way. I would like to say that although...
Hey Jeff, I love that idea! I'm not writing all (or even most) of the tutorials, so it is not up to me. The tutorials are slated for the files section of...
