Watch Todd of Deep Grooves cut a record!

Hey Trolls! As promised, here is a new video demonstrating the full potential of my MIDIToLatheControl box. In this video you will see:

1. Tape Remote Start impulse conversion to MIDI Machine Command (MMC) Play message. Thereby starting playback of my DAW via the AS 66-M card.

2. Automation of Echo button at the beginning of a track.

3. Automation of Time button between tracks.

4. Automation of Fast button to initiate the lead-out groove.

5. Me cutting a 12" 33.3 RPM Lacquer Dub for my own personal enjoyment.

6. A completely hands free process that is fully automated.

This box is a simple install. Anyone with soldering skills can integrate this device into their lathe with the same results. I am offering fully fabricated boxes and connector cables for sale via my web site http://www.deepgroovesmastering.com/store.aspx.

Enjoy! And, happy cutting!

Todd, sent you an e-mail with a few questions the other day after watching this. Hit me back, I'm also in the midwest and want to do a few cuts.

Your setup is insane.

I just sent a reply. Thank you for the reminder. That one would have slipped through the cracks otherwise. Soooo busy...

Thank you for your kind words regarding my cutting room. I'll tell Charlotte you had nice things to say about her...

Nice work Todd!

I've finally gotten around to fixing my AS66-M Tape Remote Card. The Start impulse worked, however, the Stop impulse was not functioning. I troubleshot the card, Stop now works. So, I connected it to an unused pair in my 10 wire ribbon cable going from SV301 to my MIDIToLatheAutomation box. The Stop relay on AS66-M is attached to SV301 pins 1b and 2b when the card is in the DC slot.

I programmed my chip to respond to the extra input on an unused pin. I wired one of the Stop relay wires to the chip with a pull up resistor, and the wire goes to ground. When my chip detects the relay being activated, it send out both a MIDI Stop message, as well as an MMC Stop Command. Everything works as expected!

Anytime Fast or Stop is triggered on the Lathe, playback of audio is stopped in my DAW. The Stop button on the pitch box now controls both the Lathe and audio playback. It is very nice....
