simplest sample playback

Hi all!

I was looking after APR9600 info on the net and saw this post regarding its capabilities as a sampler ic. I'm building a circuit based upon it to use it as a sample-looper stompbox for guitar, but i haven't build the circuit nor purchased the IC, so I'm curious about is sound. Is so hissy as ISD chips? Does anyone have a sound sample of it?

Thanks a lot and apologize me for my bad english

hi, i'm putting together an APR9600 kit this week with a couple of basic mods so that it can accept instrument level signals. the kits are fairly cheap, so if i think that it may be worthwhile to use as a looper, i could simply buy another one.

on the whole, i think it might be unsuitable because of the fact that there is a 1.5 second delay in the autorewind mode, may need some external triggering to get it to rewind at the right time.

i think the payback project by the tone god might be a better bet. http://www.oocities.com/thetonegod/payback/payback.html

I know this is an old thread, but I would love to have a looper module in my modular synth, which most preferably could record and playback audio and sync to clock so it restarts the loop the same time/double time/half time/etc. as the sequencer I am planning to build. Could this be possible?

I don't think it would be possible using "only" a schematic. If you're doign syncup stuff then a microcontroller is probably needed. Can you code at all?

I've been working on a looper/sampler/delay using a micro as well.

Though at the moment the project is 90% done in code. Hardware-wise, there's only the micro, external RAM, and external DAC.

hm, interesting! no I have never done any coding unfortunately. Seems to me though it could be a pretty good module. Is it hard to learn the coding?
