Ideal sound card for multichannel scan and modulations.

[drlava]

if you read my first post I said I would.

Anyone who did this would get many takers I reckon.
Mamba for Euro 99 plus a sound card and a driver by you or someone else would be a cheap but reasonably powerful hobby system.

This is an old thread, but I found it in a search just now and had to post relevant information. I have written a generic sound card output driver that can be used with any software that supports easylase usb. It's still in development, but far enough along I was playing laseroids through a secondary sound card look for more info in the future. the sound card I'm using is this:

the chip and driver actually support 8 channels, and you can get them by soldering, but it's not necessary for XYRGB.
Also needed are a few op-amps for level conversion to produce +/-5 and 0-5V out.

My USB soundcard is similar but not exactly like that. Can you tell me what needs to be soldered to make it 8 channels? Thanks.

pins 34 and 33 (LOSR and LOSL) on the cm106 produce the other 2 channels.

Are you tapping in straight from there or are you adding some components? I guess I could reverse engineer the other channels.

[drlava]

straight from there to the home-made op-amp shifter/amp. All the other channels have a dc blocking cap. Just remove it and tap in from the chip side of where the cap was.

So you've got real time output to a usb sound card? Impressive . This was the only thing that kept me from using such a thing. Laserboy for example is a great piece of software, but you can not use it to play live shows.

Yes, his driver is really cool! I got it to work with Spaghetti!

I just ordered the USB box and asked Zoof for the zooferoids, this could be very damn cool.
I hope shipping from china is fast! if this works, we could be playing asteroids at SELEM!

I wish I could make it. There are enough of us in the cleveland/akron area we should have a mini-meet! enjoy.
