Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
So after much thinking and talking with others, I think I'm going to move to another area of audio and try a product in a different space. It's back to the drawing board and trying to determine where exactly there are holes in this wild, wonderful world of music creation, and see if there's a produ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
What that means as someone considering building a business focused specifically on this DAW? It's a non-starter. I just don't see the ability to make a viable, sustainable business focusing on only serving a small DAW company I've enjoyed reading this thread, and have refrained from commenting, sin...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
So made it back from NAMM last weekend, and wow, what an experience that was! Saw quite a bit of really interesting gear--and likely missed a bunch more because we were on a mission to find and see the world of DAW control surfaces, so we focused mostly on that. Here are things I saw/learned, in no ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
This is so exciting Allison! I'm drooling at the thought of finally having one of these, and I'm so excited for you to be able to chase this dream. Thank you! ME TOOOOO. My two cents on your third question: There are already generic console-style controllers that work with other DAWs. The magic of ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Hi there! I wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of this effort. Looking back over my notes over the holiday, and started seriously considering this back in October 2017! Time flies. :) So in short, some of you know that I was the founder of a startup for the last several years, and tha...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Give some more details, I would like to help, maybe you can send me the hardware schematics of one module and I could write the firmware. Is this still the idea to have one master module which receive and sends data to the modules via CAN and communicate via USB with PC? Which micro-controller you ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
I'm new here. Interesting project. I'm an embedded software engineer. Do you need some help? Hey there! Mayyyybe. Things are starting to shape up and there will be some pretty intense work to do as the first hardware modules are ready to integrate with various protocols (Mackie Control, HUI, stnd. ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Anyone know what the dB is to trigger the LEDs for the channel strip compressor, gate, etc. It would be nice to see those correspond from one to the other I do not. In the remote interface, I just get them as a value from 0 to 5, corresponding directly to the number of LEDs lit up. I bet Giles woul...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
With the debut of Record – before Propellerhead integrated the SSL console into Reason – I started modeling it in 3D using Sketch-up and fancied a sleek enclosure, as seen in my animation, below. Clearly, I was mesmerized by the SSL and already yearning for a real, tactile controller! [media]https:...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Not sure why I missed this whole thread but I'm pretty excited already ! I was looking at/reading on control surfaces this last week, all where meeeeh. Only thing that looks ok was the nektar p1. Nice to see it integrated in the mockup. First thing I thought, if it is modular, would it be possible ...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Glad to see you back! There is no reason you can't release everything, schematics, software, etc. Totally open and under a opensource licence (which license is another topic) while at the same time selling kits, fully assembled stuff, PCB's, etc. My suspicion is very very few people will opt to clo...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
So awesome! Really cool of him to lend his time and knowledge to this project. I know there are lots of variables, but do you have a rough time frame for completing the prototype? It's a great question--hard to give an exact date. I'm trying to give myself a working center channel prototype working...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
I had a wonderful lunch with Giles yesterday, and got to see his home studio as well (amazing setup, has me thinking about my own setup with all his midi controller integration!) Also, delicious burrito place near his home, highly recommended! He gave me some really interesting things to think about...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Received the new eval boards for this snazzy new blue CAN-FD-enabled microcontroller (called the SAMC21). Working now to get it spun up and talking to the green boards which are the CAN-FD transceivers. The "hello world" of this effort is to see it talking to itself loopback style, not unlike MIDI l...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Get your SSL Mixer Hardware Controller Mission patch! Well, this version is more akin to the NASA patches, e.g. just the names (no images). OK, now we're ready for this project collaboration!

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Awesomesauce! We're lucky to have your brain in this group :puf_smile: So many of us have stared at the Reason SSL-style mixer and wondered if there was any hardware out there to run it effectively. I think the fruits of your labor will be beyond amazing. Do you want to crowdfund or are we headed s...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Another quick update: I've got the eval boards on order to test this new faster control protocol feature--I want to see it work with my own eyes before modifying the module brain to support this new chip/transceiver layout. Good news is the footprint doesn't really change, so should be minimal effor...

Re: Reason SSL Mixer Hardware Controller
Quick update--did some deep digging on the state of the project and built out a simple roadmap to get to a first prototype. First up, finishing up the brain module that will drive every other module, and build a test fixture to benchmark and test it. I'm also evaluating a new CANbus chipset (CANbus ...

Wow, you certainly have the skills and knowledge for this. If you need any capital to pull this off, maybe some crowdfunding? I'm sure lot's of us would support your effort. Thank you Wendy!
