FV-1 Programs

List of SpinASM code for guitar effects pedals and other applications

Introduction

The goal of this project is to be a comprehensive directory of patches, programs, or banks for the Spin Semiconductor FV-1 DSP integrated circuit (IC) that can be used in DIY guitar effects pedals, and other hobbiest projects. It is community-driven and built entirely of contributions from people like you, so please submit any programs you'd like to share.

This entire site is open source and hosted on GitHub

Circuit / PCB

Unless otherwise noted, all of these programs are assumed to work on the "typical application" circuit from the FV-1 datasheet, and should also run fine on the Mimir's Well: FV-1 platform pedal, the Easy Spin pedal from Audiofab, or the Arachnid board from PedalPCB.

You can also get pre-programmed EEPROMs here.

Freeverb is a stereo reverb unit based on Jezar's public domain C++ sources, composed of eight parallel comb filters on both channels, followed by four allpass units in series. The filters on the right channel are slightly detuned compared to the left channel in order to create a stereo effect.

There is an overdrive going to the flanger and highpass/delay, but the reverb is driven directly from the input.

Flanger and highpass/delay, but the reverb is driven directly from the input. With some envelope control on the filter. 
Faux Phase Shifter
 
by Digital Larry  
Sounds like a phaser but in fact it is not one, strictly speaking. It is built up from resonant high pass and low pass filters mixed together

We have both filter tremolo and volume modulation with LFO 90 degrees phase shifted. This is similar to harmonic tremolo as found in some vintage tube amps.

Flanger using rectified-sine modulation. LFO frequency and width are in inverse relationship from the pot to give good results over a wide frequency range with one knob.

Emulates the Function F(x) Parallax pedal. It's a tremolo with a phase shifter and speed controls for each 
Spring Reverb + Tremolo
 
by Don Stavely  
Spring reverbs sound 'boingy' because of dispersion in the spring - higher frequencies travel slower than low frequencies. A 'spectral delay filter', consisting of many (100's) of unit allpasses will produce the desired 'chirp' impulse response...

This routine is based on Mick Taylor's (Ice-9s) reverb loop and shimmer code with some changes such as... 
 
by Alex Lawrow  
Produces a major scale (Ionian mode) based on on whatever note you play into the input. 
Arpeggio
 
by Alex Lawrow  
Produces a major chord arpeggio based on the root note you play into the input.

Reverb Algorithms
 
by Audiofab  
A bank of eight, classic reverbs for your Easy Spin pedal. Where applicable, the SpinCAD Designer source file is provided. All source code is included in the fv1-programmer JSON file so you can directly program your pedal with the Audiofab fv1_programmer utility. 
Distortion Algorithms
 
by Audiofab  
A bank of 8 patches featuring various distortion algorithms in some cases combined with chorus and filtering. Includes the SpinCAD file for you to play around with and a JSON file for the Audiofab fv1_programmer utility. 
Test Programs
 
by Audiofab  
A bank of 8 patches featuring various test algorithms to ensure your FV-1-based pedal is working properly. Includes the SpinCAD file for you to play around with and, a JSON file for the Audiofab fv1_programmer utility and documentation.

SpinCAD delay patch with tap tampo block. This connects to a drum delay patch, but can be applied to every delay patch. The tap tampo block works perfect. The only problem is a little kind of 'swish' sound if you tap while playing. See the 'sourced from' URL below for the schematic. 
* Requires different circuit
