Awesome work, Glitch Militia.
Hey, so, the entire sound engine is contained in the CPU, right? So if you replace the CPU on an 02 or 03 board, won't it fix sample playback also?

This is the cable I used, shielded cable is the correct translation, is the thinnest I found but was hard to make it fit.
Look around for install cable. It's balanced cable used for permanent runs through walls and such. I might have some scraps from some cable I've been pulling at work. It's much thinner, but carries the same signal types. Has foil shielding.

The get lofi gameboy pitch mod basically runs the crystals in parallel.
Just do the two mods separately, with a switch for each. You can see how they interact later.

Do you mean xlr cable? I though they are mono only.
XLR really only refers to the type of connector. XLR3 (three pin microphone style connectors) can be used to carry stereo audio, and are functionally interchangeable with 1/4" TRS, 3.5mm TRS, etc - Anything with three contacts.
Because mic level signals are weak, shielded cable is more commonly used for them to protect the signal. I'm assuming he's just using shielded cable in an attempt to reduce noise.
Nice work on the gameboy Zuberi, it looks very nice!

I'm stepping out of this argument. You're welcome to claim victory if you want. My opinion is based on my personal experiences as a technician trained in basic keyboard, and my experiences as a University staff member. I cannot transfer those experiences to you.

How so? Is there some magic property of piano playing that makes you better at totally unrelated things to the point where not playing it is doing you a disservice? I don't see how being a piano player is going to make any more of a difference in your audio engineering ability than being a guitar player. It's a very arbitrary standpoint.
I'm not saying you can't be an audio engineer without knowing how to play piano, I'm just saying that if you're receiving a college degree in audio engineering, they should be teaching you basic piano as part of it.
Off the top of my head, here's a few reasons an audio engineer should know how to read basic music and play basic piano:
1. Translation of frequency spectrum into notational values
2. Ease of communication with musicians in the workplace
3. For a recording engineer, ability to sequence digital parts by ear on a piano keyboard
I could come up with more, but suffice it to say, I doubt you will find a school with a music technology degree that doesn't force some kind of music theory and/or basic piano.

You must principle in an instrument on their list and if your principle is not piano, you must take or test out of two semesters of Piano.
And it shouldn't be any other way. Any music or audio engineering school that doesn't require basic you to attain piano deficiency is doing you a disservice. Accept no substitutes!

Crashfaster is buying it, locally. I'm trying to get him to live up to his black and red color scheme, and I think i will be a very nice touch.
Very possibly time for some PCB mounts!

For example, one of the things I'm in charge of maintaining here at CSUEB is our buchla 100 system. Trying to get one of our Studer tape machines back in order to use with it.
The point is that programs like Berklee and Ex'pressions haven't been around long enough to have that kind of legacy equipment. When we got a new director of jazz studies recently, I was explaining to him how difficult it is for us to buy vintage equipment. He asked how we got our Rhodes. I told him that we bought it new.

Ex'pression (wtf, apostrophe?) offers free recording sessions of various types to a variety of acts, and I've had a few opportunities to be involved in these events. I also know a number of students who go there. I've also encountered a number of graduates "in the field".
My general sense of the education people get there is that it is indeed professional and useful, but heavily stifling. They are at the forefront of institutionalizing electronic music, production and sound engineering, the same way that classical music and jazz have been institutionalized.
I suppose it's inevitable, but it is still troubling.
And yes, it's awfully expensive. They do have fantastic facilities though. And the strange hours, I have surmised, are to allow them to draw faculty with active work schedules - to stay out of the way of said faculty's career.
edit:
As for the question of location, no matter where you go here, the SF Bay Area is a fantastic place to be to do what you want to do. We also have a burgeoning chip music scene - http://www.pulswavesf.com
