Forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that it would be possible to load the source code to run Shlisp programs onto other microprocessors? Would it possible with an Arduino?

I’ve looked at the source code for the Shnth (as I had the same idea as you!) and it consists of two parts.

  1. Stuff that runs on your computer (fish, jish, shlisp, justints, etc.)
  2. Stuff that runs on the Shnth / Shtar. This is in shbobo/sorce/shmat.

2 is all written in ARM assembly language, so wouldn’t be directly compatible with an Arduino. It consists of two parts itself:

  1. Interface and timing code for the ARM microcontroller.
  2. Opcodes that produce the sounds. These are called wanillaxxNAME, where xx is a two digit number and NAME is the name of the opcode, for example wanilla80fourses.s

It’d be totally possible to compile and run it on another ARM Cortex 32bit microcontroller (like the very cheap STM32 “blue pill”) but knowing how to connect the piezos to the microcontroller (e.g. which pin to connect to) is unknown and could take some investigation.
As far as I know, Peter has never published a schematic for the Shnth.

I expect that there is a lot of circuitry associated with the bars and corps as well…but if the buttons were simple pin inputs it would be very cool to have some extra “shinthy” friends playing drone like patches.

i’m this close to pulling the trigger on a shnth
please talk me out of it :grinning:

also for those above trying to figure out cv i/o

one of my first uses would be pairing this Norns + shnth: library
with norns and crow to translate data

Not likely!
What’s your concern? (If it’s money, that’s different.)

#210

i’m impulsive and wish i could have a new one asap
might try to find a used instrument, we’ll see

other concern is same as always
i don’t need it and should be spending time on what i already own

A used one just popped up on reverb today…plus Peter is moving to Germany for a while and has shut down his US sales, so you’d have to order from Patch Point in Germany if you want one.

well i guess the dream is temporarily dead

thanks for the info

i was the reverb seller. it’s sold now :grinning:

not meaning to derail the thread but i’m open to buy/trade if anybody wants to sell in the future

i regret selling mine yrs ago

Can you elaborate on this more? I’ve been having a lot of trouble getting this running on my 10.13 MacBook… I updated my java, but I still get
sudo java -jar jish.jar Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Julia has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 57.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0
Does anyone else have advice on this?
:slight_smile:

I ran into the same error on Windows 10.
Apparently you also need to install Java JDK. I was a little burnt at that point and bailed out…so I can’t help with the install but that’s what I gathered doing my own research on the error language.
