There were two removable players inside each machine, one on top and one on the bottom.

The Pioneer LD players were large machines which could hold 144 LDs, 72 on the left vertical stack and 72 on the right. In the back of each commander was a DIP switch and if a particular commander was assigned to, let's say, room 5, the decimal 5 was converted to binary 00000101, so this will be the DIP switch setting for this commander, and so on. They were linked to the machine room via co-ax cables and each commander was assigned a specific address.

In each guest room was a remote terminal called the Commander. There was a main computer terminal inside the machine room where all the LD and VCD players were located. It was a network karaoke setup with the components from Japan (Pioneer, U-kara, Victor (JVC), etc.). Hello guys: In the early 2000, there was Sound Venture Karaoke Box in front of Asilo, along Gorordo Avenue. That's like an ipod, 4gb per 1000 songs, 40gb per 10,000 songs, 80 gb per 20,000 songs, assunming minimum dvd quality (24bit 128kbps).Īnyway thats still a very good system you developed there :mrgreen: I get a lot of minus_1 requests from performing artists and I essentially do a minor recording production that includes live guitars, solo strings, wind instruments, depending on the song, so I know it is too expensive to have a custom minus_1 made, that means all those minus_1 in K1 etc., are basically GM synth playback converted to audio format, not much different from the synth midi M_1 you can get from the internet. The pro applications that do that in real time,(acid, ableton, reason, spectrasonics etc.) are even still limited in the degree of shifts compared to midi shifts. With midi (like the hyundai players) its very easy to change the pitch of the song, however with audio files, it is a lot harder. However, I am interested to know what you use to alter the pitch/tempo of the audio files in realtime without getting stutters, clicks or artifacts. Hi bfg9000 thats very interesting, and great to know its locally developed.
