Hi,
thanks for the poll and to the rest of you supporting this cause.
We were actually working on this as a side-project in the last months and believe we have found a solution to create an 'easy'* to install CPU replacement.
Wanted to go public later with this, but what the heck..
Here are some (but not all) of the planned features:
- Midi in out + din sync without drilling any holes
- A better sequencer, something like the 1oh1, but two channel
- several additional envelopes and lfos, as well as midi control for:
filter cutoff, Pulsewidth and pitch
- an optional replacement of the crappy lcd with an OLED display
- also turns the 202 into a 2-chan midi-to-cv interface
- bigger internal storage of course, but also midi-sysex upload/download
- getting rid of the CV/gate delay
- quite a few ideas more, but those need testing
As soon as we have a proof of concept ready and some time, there will likely be a crowd funding campaign... so stay tuned please. thanks
*Easy means: There is some SMD-level soldering skill necessary, but nothing impossible. Pitch is 1mm, so this is absolutely doable. If not by you, than certainly by a tech - and it is cheap to ship the 202. There will be a 'socket' that is soldered in place of the original CPU and a mod board that plugs into it. This means if you mess up soldering, you don't destroy the whole mod, just the socket. It also means you can plug back in the original CPU if you feel like it.
In och rösta här nu!

(Ja, jag vet att MC202 är ett gammalt instrument och att man inte ska bla bla bla och att man isåfall hellre borde bla bla bla men jag vill faktiskt kunna spara mina patterns. Vore en dröm att kunna ha flera patterns och hoppa mellan dessa).
