Abacus

[Ploki]

I was wondering;
my rig contains
Nobels MS8
Quad Preamp
TC G major
50/50
-
and then, how can i switch on and off delay module or some other on TC, since Abacus isn't able to send Midi CC (control change) only Midi Program Change message ?

is there any way to mod Abacus so its able to send CC messages?

thank you

The cheapest mod would be to choose something that works in the first place.

Reviving an ancient thread...

How do you power the abacus?
I've heard that you can only use phantom through the 4-pin XLR.

edit: I'm currently looking for one, it's a cool pedal and exactly fits my needs.

The 4 pin XLR powers them, at least the early ones like I've got. I suppose though, that you could figure out how to rework the midi interface to use a midi-cable for phantom power, and figure how to jump the power supply connections to the midi terminals inside the unit. I don't know, never had the unit in the rack to do it.

The Abacus, even though technically limited, is still kind of awesome in its own way though. I've got the Midi Matrix to go with it, and it has never broken or anything except needing a battery replacement here and there (Radio Shack has them and they require no soldering to change).
