KVM to audio mixer.

[Anonymous No.1149730]

first of all sorry if my english is weird, its not my native tounge, but ill do my best.
so i got this KVM switcher and i want to recycle it. i make weird music that is based on heavy effect processed sounds. (for instance a lot of guitar pedals can be used, rack FX units, etc).
so i wanted to make this into a weird audio mixer/looper. the order of stuff and whats on and off can expande the possibilities of sounding fast.

but im kinda slow today and cant get a concrete idea. but i was thinking hooking a lot of FX loops (send and returns), to be used each with a singe FX unit. so we have Loops, say 8. L1, L2, L3, etc.

so... what i would like this thing to do, from the most basic to the ideal (not sure if possible) goals.

that it could switch between:
1- On/Off loops in a static order.
2-On/Off loops in switcheable order.
both 1 and 2 are based on a mono input and mono output. no weird routing or panning stuff that will be present on option 3:
3-same as above but also having a mono-stereo split somewhere, so for example
signal in-loop1-splitter-
split1-loop4-loop3-out1
split2-loop2-loop6-loop8-loop loop5-out2
where out 1 could be a hard panned L and out 2: same but R.

we can think most FXs have a gain stage so everything can be pasive.

im a bit confused right now. also checking the circuit board. i supose this is just a 13 pin switcher, each big switch connects input to output and thats it.

for option 2 and 3 i would have to add more individual switches, this would in a certain form, program the 4 main switches.

components i can get here are:
4P3T rotary
2P6T rotary
3PDT &4PDT, but expensive , try to avoid
8 pin 3 positiion switch
and more common 3 , 6pin on on, on off on, etc

the board

i built once a joystick mixer, one input, split ro 4 loops, joystick opened one of the 4 returns, a switch feedback the loop, regulated with a pot, the other big switch was the clean bypassed just in out signal, rotary switch for a permanent on going from loop1 to 4 ,then clean. first postition was just off. letting the unit in joystick mode. other rotary did stereo outs, loop1-2, then 3-4, then 1-3, having all posible 6 positions and with another swith reversing them, wich are the whole 12 possible combinations.and another switch opened a momentary, momentaryt and permament switch for that, same for inversor.

its the thing that says eat shit.

here are the guts.
any ideas on what to do with this kvm? making it portable is one of the goals. any ideas that expand sound possibilities are welcome, pots maybe. extreme changes are best.

thanks! give a little push to my brain , its slowwwww today for a reason

bumping, is diy fast?

[Anonymous No.1149838]

anyone? tips?

not really my thing, but.. i think you getting too freaked on finding a use for what is an essentialy useless POS. The KVM is (manually) switching 4 into 1 (15 - 15 pins) or presumably backwards 1 into 4; selecting an output will spring release the previously selected (?) - idk wtf else you actually can do with that setup, its not especially promising.

But maybe someone else might - /diy/ is slow tho, thread be around for a while - no replies after a few days? bump it then

okkk, ill see if anyone else drops in.
but yes, its basically a 4 position 15 pin switch.
so im thinking on using the 15 pins each as single audio chain, swomewhay modified with added shwitches, so i could change through a bunch of audio chains fast. not sure how yet though. thanks!

down to page 5, this is the final bump, last try, thonkssss

Nah its as slow as my friends wife cleaning the house.
You don't need to bump anymore than maybe once a day.
