My photos from the meet are online:

http://www.norman.cx/photos/default.asp_Q_ST_E_1_A_F_E_20040713%20Empeg%20Euro%202004%20small

These are smaller versions than I posted earlier, so that my DSL line will cope better

OK. So what's the remote display thingy !

When can I buy one .. Can I control the empeg via it too ?

The remote display was part of Hugo's original mp3mobile, which he brought along to demo to us.

We must be a cult, we even have our own religious relics (mp3mobile, not Hugo).

Too Bad, I could really do with a remote display, and remote controller as my empeg is confined to my glovebox.

I don't think there is anyway of running the sony stalk to remote control the empeg (i.e. a wired remote) without having a tuner. Am I right there ?

Correct, though Patrick is still talking about the possibility of a tuner kit that doesn't contain the tuner module. It would have just the stalk controller and some other inputs. Might be a while even if he gets round to it though.

Long before the tuner came out someone used a PIC and connected a wired remote to the serial port.

Yeah, that was (IIRC) Jon Bauer. The instructions are somewhere out there.

If memory serves he only actually released schematics/PIC code for the Peugeot stalk project. The Sony one was discussed but no code was available from his website.

John Lambon did one and Charlie Payne did one. That's what I found by looking for it in Google anyway.

I have posted new versions of my images now, they are much smaller and more suitable for viewing on screen. Hopefully my DSL line will cope better now

Thanks for the photos. Looks like it was a lot of fun. Can someone explain what is going on in what I assume is the RTA demo? It looks like its boosting most of the frequencies beyond 0db isn't that a sure fire way to cause clipping? Is that just due to the bad environment of the demo space?

The player plays a series of samples, one for each band on each channel. While doing this it monitors the sound output from the speakers via a the mic. It then adjusts the EQ to compensate.

It's supposed to normalise the levels of the bands so most are cut and maybe a few boosted. I've looked at the code though and I think I may have got this the wrong way around so that more bands are boosted than cut Oh well that's what alphas are for . Anyway if the bands are too high just lower them all by the same amount.

Cheers, John

I don't think that's very funny!!! How do I launch an offical complaint against that "oh so photoshopped" photo off me?

There is no way on earth I could ever look that rough, well ok maybe just a slim chance with a little beer, but I never had ANY of that evil stuff, honest

The Ripley's Drambuie videos, which we can see him taking one of in that third picture, are in fact remarkable.

Cool. Since I reported a bug in software that I don't actually have, doesn't that mean I deserve a copy

Here are my Amersfoort photo galleries, in all of their uncaptioned glory. I'll gradually add one-liners to each photo, identifying the faces where possible, but for now.. here they are.

Oh what? Where did you guys find a baren wasteland in the middle of rainy plush Amersfoort? Wow, did I ever miss out. Next year, I'm coming armed with a GPS for sure.

I'll fix it when I get home. Maybe I'll find some free/cheap software that can convert an AVI into an MPEG instead of WMV.

Having a bad life, more like it. I never did learn to spell too well. Double letters and vowels just kill me because I can't see any rhyme or reason to them.

Infact, I have a hard time distinguishing all things in life that are too similar to eachother. Two similar 8 measure phrases in a jazz piano piece, peoples' names, a serie of lefts and rights, historical dates, etc all get me. And trigonometry rules? ForGET it. I failed Calc II twice because I couldn't possibly memorize all those so-similar rules.
