in relation to that last video. I went ahead and tested doing a 3 deck setup on my new odroid c2.... and it actually could manage it, where previously my c1 and pi 2 couldnt as it was a constant stream of xruns (buffer underruns).

these two also work very well out of the box and have phono preamps: http://www.americandj.eu/es/audio-genie-ii.html http://miditech.de/userfiles/site_Downloads_manuals_phonoface/manual-phonoface-english.pdf they might be hard to get a a hold of though, as at least the miditech in not in production. but really any usb class compliant soundcard will work as long as it has line in. if it has phono prems built in great if not you can always use either an external one or just the software preamp built in xwax ( responsiveness with this might not be as good)

you mean for windows right? linux is full of arm ports, just check any distro for the arm packages so is mac because they have their ipads and iphones. windows doesnt probably just because atm its not worth the investment for them since they really dont have much going in the arm world . I wont get into if its porting or just rewritting though as the end result is what matters, getting the same software cross platform.

ah that version 2 makes more sense, i always thought that it was sort of pointless without a portable screen. yeah i took a peek at them... and nothing... to be honest i probably would have missed most of it even if it was en english. ive just recently started hearing about those fpgas and am interested in them, i just dont know anything about how to use them.... sounds hard, and probably something i have to invest too much time, that i dont have, into. pideck is sure more plug n play friendly, if you get the right hardware coz getting some soundcards touch drivers to work can also be hell. I personally think a pure hardware solution should be more reliable, its just harder to implement and maybe even not that much better to justify going that route for its complexity, compared to what soc solution can offer right away.

well software is being ported constantly to arm, that shouldnt be an issue. The issue would be if the cost to port it is worth it compared to the cost reduction of moving to arm hardware . lt probably is imho, as arm socs are quite cheaper than intel ones.

i mean the technics cds. they are pretty cheap too second hand, i got my pair for 200€. I actually just wanted to mod one and leave the other as is as i like the modded platter without the shitty screen in the middle. Pairs of CDX are regularly around for £50 or less broken, and they are not going up in price yet, because they have a reputation for breaking (Keep in mind here, the only thing that breaks is being entirely removed by this project) Technics will always appreciate in price (Fanboys and all that) oh that cheap?... ill look around and inform myself then

Ill take a look, i like all this this stuff. about the arduino, teensy is enough, its another addition i had in mind for my v2 dvs. get a tinsy in there to get some fake dicers and get cue points in there. stuart you mean, yeah he is uk ive been in touch with him to get the diy mod, dont know him directly though as im in spain

very interesting thread! love what your are doing, and hope ur succesfull at it. I have a pair of sl-1200-dz i want to mod too. There is this platter mod diy kit as a starters and then the idea would be adding a rpi dvs inside. I unsure about that though since the screen has to be outside anyways, keeping the whole dvs sistem boxed in the screen would make it portable and interchangeable with other units. best would be some bare metal programming, but im tottally clueless about that. But the technics should have some neat possibilities because of the way it tracks the relative position and the speed. Its a clear film attatched to the platter and a photosensor reading through it which determines the direction and speed of the playback, this means its basically relativemode timecode, if you can manage to see what sort of algorithm its using. Heck you could probably just connect those 3-4 pins into rpis gpio directly to be used as the "timecode". If that was possible you could actually empty most of the cd inside and run the unit through software, or it could even make a reasonably easy way to mod any turntable with just that film a sensor and pi.

Hi all, I just joined this community to discuss about all these arm soc dvs setups starting to float around, Ive been around most of those discussions going on regardng xwax. I built my system over a year and a half ago and have been using it since. My take was a bit different as I built a 2 deck setup and built a gpio based button + rotary encoder interface controller. The soc is inside the casing which has a 7" lcd i can hook up where needed, the only thing i kept external was the soundcard, and mostly so i could make the controller smaller. I didnt document everything, but if you want to take a look..... http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=10837 Ill update my thread with some of the missing info and if anybody wants to try something similar or you have any questions just ask.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCt9D7NgbL0
