CAPS 0.9.3's guitar amplification contains four new tonestacks,
distortion asymmetry dependent on output power and other sound
improvements. The modulation of the mono chorus has been smoothened,
and the Plate default parameters have been restored to be nearer the
more reverberant response of the older versions.
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html
There's also a 0.4.6 release, stamped 'obsolete', containing all the
plugins that were in 0.4.5 but did not make the cut to 0.9. There are
no duplicate plugin IDs, and the library is differently named, so both
versions can co-exist on one system.

Hi Tim!
A long absence, that you have shown us. But if you always come back like
that, take your breaks, when ever you feel like it. :-) Thanks for the new
releases. I've pulled and compiled them both. I'd have to see, which plugins
were discontinued. I'm quite particular to a few of your plugins and I
wouldn't like to miss them. :-)
Kind regards

thank you very much for your kind words, Julien.
i hope the new versions won't disappoint you; many have evolved quite
a ways since the last major release. perhaps not everybody will feel
this way but i think they're a lot better now than they ever were;
certainly the new amp (2592) and cabinet (2606) are miles ahead of
anything i've made before. they also sound great on a Rhodes, and
from the way you play it in your "seventies" radioplays i gather you
really like that instrument (as do i, thanks for sharing those
recordings!).
then again, and this i find quite interesting, playing the guitar
through the box at 64 / 44.1 is just fine for me (as it is for anyone
who tried it so far, 'amateur' and 'pro' musicians alike), but with
the keyboard i find the latency rather uncomfortable (i don't ask
anyone to try it though).
incidentally, have you, in your journeys, stumbled across a good
software Rhodes? Dave's Incunabular sounded good but i'm looking for
something with less elegance, more of a gritty and buttery kind.

Hi Tim,
You could take a week or so and go through all the Rhodes patches
available for the DX/TX synths, via Hexter of course. :)
I also like the Rhodes patches for Yoshimi/ZynAddSubFX.
Maybe Pianoteq has something Rhodesy ?
Best,

Thanks for the pointers, Dave! I like the physical modelling approach
Pianoteq is taking, and I'd expect it to work well for a Rhodes, but
this particular quest is for something that's truly free so it'll be
the first two first.

The Pianoteq Rhodes is great, but if you want free options, here are two
more to consider:
The MDA plugin set (ported to LV2 here:
http://drobilla.net/software/mda-lv2/) includes MDA EPiano, which is a
nice, generic eletric piano. It's light on resources and it's quite
adjustable, which is great, though I do think it sounds a little dull
somehow. Definitely worth installing, though.
The other option is the Learjeff jRhodes3 soundfont
(http://learjeff.net/sf/sf.html). It's only 76MB, so it's a bit lacking
in velocity layers compared to a good commercial sample library, but it
still sounds great. Works fine in Fluidsynth/Qsynth, though I used sfZed
to convert it to SFZ format to use with the Linuxsampler plugin.
Thanks

Very nice tip, thank you! True, it's a bit plain-sounding but the
sample quality is very good and with a few modifications to the
synthesis model and a bit of extra processing I could see this go a
long way. I rather like the simplicity of it.

Heh, 76 MB is almost half the size of my main keyboard's sample ROM,
which accommodates a pretty sweet Rhodes as well as the full selection
of instruments you'd expect from a "music production workstation".
Will try this too, sounds juicy. :)
Thanks!

Just got my ASR-10 back from a few years on loan. Somewhere down the line, probably at

These are nigh on impossible to recreate since they are not actually any windows format to

Long shot. DD still only writes blocks so it depends on the underlying diskdriver for the

Good luck! dd can write bootable disks (if the image is bootable in the
first place), but you're right about it depending on the actual disk
driver for handling formats.
I have two desktop PCs here, both have 3.5" floppy drives. If you can
put one of the disk images somewhere online, I can download it and try,
I guess.
Perhaps I can rephrase the question.
At the moment I can get some disks sent from Hawai if and only if I am ableto generate
them in the first place, alternatively I can buy a second hand PCfrom CashConverters, then
get hold of a MIDI->USB converter and perhapsalso a new ZIP drive. It is not a great
outlay and it is to build a polypressurecapable synth. I am into this as the CS80 had a
good interface for linkingpolypressure to parameters.
So the question now is:
Can anybody use it?
How many people out there have polypressure capable keyboards? Does it make sense to make
the app available if the vast majority of people onlyhave channel pressure capabilities?

There is a large fly buzzing around in that soup. This ASUS MB, an
expensive M2N-SLI Deluxe I paid about $300 for 5 years ago when I built
this quad core phenom, has a superio kit for the floppy. Which FWIW,
doesn't show up in an lspci or an lshw listing. IIRC I have it turned off
in the bios now. It /only/ supports the std 512 byte, 9 sector per track
format, in base one number formats. Attempting to access any other format
of disk is either a timeout error, or an outright machine lockup.
So rotsa ruck trying to write a non-pc format with anything like a modern
pc, regardless of the brand of drive. To get new SW to a legacy machine
using 256 byte sectors, I have been forced to open a serial port path to
that machine, using minicom, and sz the new disk images to its hard drive.
Yes, it is a right Pain In The Ass.
It is my perhaps flawed memory that says the Ensoniq's used a trackdisk
format, where whole tracks were read into memory, including the intersector
gap data, the needed info was then found in the buffer, any updates were
done to the buffer, and the whole track written back out without regard for
any index pulses the drive may have been generating, quite similar to the
Amiga's disk format, in fact IIRC, this friend of mine has written Ensoniq
disks for his EPS on an Amiga. There could be a slim chance perhaps of
doing such a disk write again /if/ you can find an Amiga whose clock
battery leakage has not yet destroyed the motherboard. Those are
increasingly rare.

Why IDE? There are external USB floppy drives around. OTOH, some of
them cost like a leg.

Hmmm, that's clearly beyond my expertise :)
I don't know how much they cost now.
There are $12 units, there are $180 units. Depends on the brand.

New subject: Ensoniq ASR-10 Boot Disk Required [update]
Let me thank everybody who put in advice on where to go with this. I went through a few
cycles:
a. picked up an old ZIP100 parallel SCSI (20 euroes).b. found a utility called EPSLIN
(with source) that writes to the floppy or HDD and cangenerate the proprietary formats.
This does not work with USB FDD since it has to use some kernel calls that control the
programming of the uC765 floppy controllerchip. With USB attached floppies this chip, or
similar, is actually on the externalfloppy so the kernel calls have no access.c. Found
bipolarisation.com who put the OS and factory disks on-line (have to thankthem too).d.
Formatted a ZIP100 SCSI (24 euroes for a pair of disks)e. Copied the OS over.f. Linked it
up to the ASR.g. Nothing. This is a pretty stupid ZIP drive - no options to terminate the
SCSI or to select the device ID. Incompatible. Will sell it again.....
h. Got back online and got hold of a Dell floppy (15 Euroes)i. Picked up some floppy disks
(4 euroes for a box of 10).j. Let's just make this one short - did not work in any of
my 4 Dell laptops. It wasfrom the Latitude C series.
k. Got down to CashConverters, picked up an old Compaq desktop for 60 Euroes.l. Put
together a liveboot USB (quicker than downloading a live DVD)m. Put a 32bit version of
epslin on to the stick, put the ARS OS and the 8factory disk images.n. Formatted onto a
really floppy disk drive.o. copied the OS to it.p. put the disk into the ASR10.
MAN, IT NOW BOOTS!
Working with floppies would normally be painful but until I can get hold ofan even older
ZIP drive or some other parallel SCSI device it will do - I amnot going to be loading
(m)any sounds, I just want the OS there spittingmidi out into bristol for the PolyPressure
stuff.
Again, thanks for all the advice.
Am going to put out a bristol 0.60.11 which just fixes some build erratausing patches
contributed to the project, then some time later I want to get the CS-80 emulator working
as a 0.70 or similar. I will add options tohave PolyPressure track ChannelPressure as I
know there are not manykeyboards out there with poly capabilities (also from this
thread).

get OS images from here
http://www.ensoniqsamplers.com/epsasr/026.html
use this dos program to write the floppy

Hi All,
Just got my ASR-10 back from a few years on loan. Somewhere down the
line, probably at some gig, they lost the Iomega ZIP-100 and the
original set of floppies I had.
These are nigh on impossible to recreate since they are not actually any
windows format to make them Ensoniq bootable. Does anybody have a 3.5
boot disk with a version of OS later than 2.01 (I think this was the
version that supported the SCSI driver). I will happily pay postage and
all that.
I want to get this running to work on the Bristol CS-80 emulator using
the polypressure features of the ASR.
Kind regards, nick

Hi Nick
Have you thought of asking on the Vintage Synth Explorer forums? I'm
sure someone from that community would be able to help or advise.

Hello Tim!
I've tried the new CAPS plugins. Well at the moment just one, the click
track (1769) and I'm not really happy with it. The woodblock sounds nicer in
doodle mode, that's where I'm experimenting, sometimes over a quarter of an
hour or so. But I can't hear it that well. I raised the standard volume and
lowered the damping and still, it won't really bite through a lot of sound.
could you perhaps include a choice in this plugin or two clicktracks. I can
really see, where this block makes it much more barable for the ears, when
working a long time with it, just to fit bits of your head to a metrum.
I've also had a full skim through the whole list of plugins and I am just
dying to try the new tonestack, the new CabinetIV and the chorus adjustments,
as described by you, also sound like something to bargain with.
Oh, and I had the same installation problem with the obsolete package and
when I do:
analyseplugin ./caps-obsolete.so I get no output. Is that supposed to happen?
Warmly yours
Julien

Thanks for the feedback Julien, I'm looking into the Click audibility
problem. It's already peaking at around -3 dB, so simple amplification
won't help. (I only ever use it for unaccompanied practicing so I
never noticed it has problems cutting through thicker sound.)
I'm not sure what causes analyseplugin to not list the caps-obsolete
contents on your system. Can you access the plugins from other hosts?
(Obsolete Plugin IDs are 1766 1767 1768 1775 1776 1777 1782 1783 1784
1786 1787 1794 2582 2587 2590 .)
Thanks again,
Tim
