Announcing the Audiofab Easy Spin (FV-1) Visual Studio Code Extension

/

Audiofab is pleased to announce that we've been working on an improvement to our original FV-1 programming tool, and it is finally ready for some beta testing.

Introducing the Audiofab FV-1 Visual Studio Code extension! Now you can edit and assemble FV-1 programs right from the comfort of VS Code. Not only does this provide an editor for .spn files with syntax highlighting it also allows you to assemble and program the EEPROM of your Easy Spin device using the Audiofab USB programmer right from the editor! If you aren't using an Audiofab device, you can still edit and assemble your files in VS Code, and output a .hex file for flashing with your own device.

And the latest version has an exciting new experimental feature - block diagram programming!

Inspired by SpinCAD Designer, you can create Easy Spin programs simply by wiring blocks together; no need to learn FV-1 assembly!

We're pretty excited about the potential of this new platform, and we have tons of ideas on how to improve it in the future. So, please give it a whirl and provide some feedback! If you find any issues, you can file an issue in our Issue Tracker and we'll look into it as soon as possible.

To install it, click the link above, or just search for "Audiofab" in the VS Code extension Marketplace.

Here’s a video walkthrough of the various features of the extension:

Let us know if you build something cool!

Thanks Elmira!

Thanks to everyone who came by our stand at the Elmira Vintage Guitar Show! It was wonderful to meet you, chat and demo our pedals.

We released two new pedals at the show: the Elektra Amanto and the Super Transformer. Demos of these (and our other pedals) received great feedback. We’re working to post some audio demos of these pedals soon.

Our “Take Home the Chonk” contest was a big success with over 70 entries! The lucky winner of the Chonky Boi Fat Distortion was @boerb7287 (Brayden Boerner). Congrats Brayden!

A huge thank you to John and the amazing team who organized and ran the Elmira Vintage Guitar Show. Everything ran smoothly and it was bigger (and better) than ever. We’ll be back next year …

Restoring Gary Borden's Gibson GA-45

We've been on a bit of a hiatus lately working on other things - but we're back with something interesting!

Through a mutual friend (thanks Chris!) we recently met Gary Borden and he tried out our amps. He was impressed enough that he's planning to use them on some upcoming recording projects; more on this later.

Thank You, Elmira!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table today at the Elmira Vintage Guitar Show and Swap!​  We met a lot of really cool people and some extremely talented musicians.

Special thanks to Fred Tellier who put up with some mildly loud amp demos (he had the table right next to ours).  If you are in the market for a gorgeous hand-made acoustic guitar you should definitely check him out.

Now I'm going home to practice...  ​

Elmira Used On Two West Memphis Suicide Tracks

Audiofab's Elmira amplifier was ​used on two recent West Memphis Suicide tracks. The amp is in the mix on their latest single Dyin' Breed, as well on War Machine, their contribution to the Kissin' Time - Canada's Tribute to Kiss album.

Both of these tracks were recorded at The Sound Distillery in Kitchener, and they sound incredible!

WEST MEMPHIS SUICIDE: from Cambridge Ontario Canada is a four piece,high energy rock show! With a solid "friend"base of "D.I.R.T.bags" known for their "D"-driven,"I"-integrity,"R"-respect and "T"-trust. WMS offers up honest music that you can become a part of. No nonsense,working class kick ass!

West Memphis Suicide is a killer band. Check them out on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Bandcamp!
