Of all the things I played with the most was simply realizing how easy it is to lay out things in 3D with VR, and having virtual sequencers and stuff you could wire that way to MIDI outs or virtual instruments would be awesome. A VR FractOSC would rule

Hey guys, been a few months since I posted. Between moving, quitting my job, and going back to school it's been an eventful summer. Back in May when I last stopped in, I was still waiting for my MS-20 to arrive and only had a Pocket Operator for hardware. In my new place I have space in my bedroom for a little studio corner/electronics lab. Been building a few smaller things, and I'm about to take my first venture into eurorack. I have two PCB/panel kits on the way; a Synthrotek Super Power and a Thomas Henry 555 VCO. I'm a little overwhelmed with options going forward. When you guys started out with euro, what were the first five modules you bought/made? There are so many different directions to go in, I'm constantly changing my mind on what I want next. Here are some pics of my setup.

i started with a make noise rosie, richter wogglebug, maths, moddemix and an intellijel uvcf (it wasnt long before i filled out my 3u with a doepfer matrix mixer ((<3!)), STO, LXD,and a plague bearer, as i had planned the row out for eevvvvv eerrrrr) i went euro to have something more portable than my kb synths, so being able to plug straight into an amp or pedal and not having to worry about it made me want the rosie, though many people are of the opinion that output modules are unnecessary im happy with it (except for the cue headphone out being mono so it wont play nice with my trrs phones) maths is a gimme for any euro rack, but since youre into diy you could look at random source or elby for a different euro take on the serge dusg also youll need more mixers than you think, they slip under the radar like vcas e: oh and i just moved to an elite 208 so if you need a case ive got a pittsburgh cell 90 available byob historian fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Sep 9, 2016 |

It's certainly attractive enough, nice compact package. Good they kept the trigger out but disappointing there's no individual outs. If I didn't have Too Many drum machines already I'd probably be interested in grabbing one on the inevitable GC sale / coupon. Also battery or uUSB powered is awesome. Electro busking has never been easier these days.

If you use the USB audio interface, apparently it has the main stereo outs, plus 4x indepedent stereo pairs, with controllable routing via some menu diving (http://cdm.link/2016/09/rolands-new-303-909-might-even-better-originals/). I kinda like them, ordered a TR-09 today from Bax, will probably pick up a TB-03 at some point too.

I've finished my 1.0 build of my Smile2CV device. I took peoples advice from various places and stuck to USB power and didn't go Eurorack this time. For the 2.0, I want to add detection for other things besides smiles, users can choose between with a knob. I love the idea of a dial that can select between things like smiles and bananas.

It makes very little sense compared to a $499 TR-8, but the TR-09 appears to look pretty great while the TR-8 is loving hideous so good job Roland, I guess. Although conforming it and the TB-03 to the weird kickstandy Boutique chassis was a real negative in my opinion. The System-8 seems decently compelling. It kinda takes a lot of the (flagging) shine out of the Jd-XA though.

Got to play around with some of the new Roland stuff on the weekend. The 303 and 909 are what they are - I'm not picky enough to be able to detect major subtle nuances, but they seem like they'd be a lot of fun to have. If they were volca priced I'd probably bite sooner or later. As it is I have a RYTM so the 909 would be for fun more than anything. They were demoing the wind controller - the sound is pretty impressive (there's a bagpipe one that just seems evil on their part to include) but it seems like almost no effort was made to try and make it into a controller instrument. Give me wireless, a MIDI breakout port etc. and this is interesting but instead it's just a USB port and speaker out and apparently all customization is done in-instrument menu rather than through USB. Definitely more of a "band in a box" performer's instrument than relentless MIDI experimentation piece from the guy talking about. I'm surprised to say this, but the System 8 really does have me tempted. I don't have an unabashedly digital synth and that thing seems like a good way to fill that niche. Waiting for real price info though. Also the prototype didn't have the plug-outs installed, so I want to know how the 106 sounds. I've been eyeing the boutique 106 anyway, so if this fills that role than it's more points in favor of it.

The 909 doesn't sound good enough to me to justify a purchase especially since I already have a library of samples from the 909 that sound 'good enough' to me. The tb-03 on the other hand seems really awesome. I've been using ABL3 for acid lines and it's pretty good but I really like the idea of having a physical box to write and of course twiddle nobs on. I'm probably going to buy one in a few months. I've read that the tb-03 doesn't have the same low end that the tb-303 has. Did you feel like there was a discernible difference between the two? Do you think it's better or worse than software emulators?

Thank the maker! MFOS PCBs are available again! http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2016/09/08/music-from-outer-space-diy-projects-now-available-again/ I had been lamenting their unavailability recently. I wanted to build my own modular, but PCBs were always the sticking point. I had a few MFOS modules laid out on veroboard, but really didn't want to do things that way.

Excellent - I've wanted to build a Weird Sound Generator for a bit. (RIP Ray Wilson) I'm a complete DIY newbie... How do I go from the parts list on the website to a shopping cart full of components? I've seen people talk about Mouser in the past.

It sounded good, but I'm the last person to be able to tell, and even if it were identical I'm sure there are experts out there who'll swear it's totally wrong. I'll be needing to save my money for the System-8 anyway since at this point that's the most interesting piece of gear coming out to me.

JamesKPolk posted:Excellent - I've wanted to build a Weird Sound Generator for a bit. (RIP Ray Wilson) Basically just order the parts as they appear on the list. This is a gross simplification.  Every electronic component has a bunch of specifications, which can include things like form factor, voltage / power / current ratings, precision, etc. Some of these things are easy to make assumptions about, e.g.:you'll need through-hole components. There are some things that are unsaid standards, e.g.: resistors are typically 1/4 watt unless specified otherwise. There are some things that require an understanding of a circuit, e.g.: capacitors need to be rated for the correct working voltage, and different types of capacitors work better for some things than others. That said, all of the parts lists on the MFOS website are well-specified. Go on mouser or digikey and use the parametric search to find parts that match the bill of materials. The MFOS main page also has a big section on component selection, so read that, as well as all the documentation for the WSG before you order the parts and you should be fine. Also, these components are pretty cheap. Buy twice or three times as much as you need for the cheap stuff. If you're getting into electronics, get more Check out other things you want to build and see what components are super common and buy 100 of them.

If anything would past 'the test' for them do you think the tb-03 would?

Wow, that Pittsburg SV-1 looks sweet. I was pretty sure I was going to try and save up for a Minilogue but now I know about that part of me wants to try and save up that bit extra for that. What makes it really hard is they're both so different, like, how can you decide between "robo farting noises" and "actually a synth that'd have a practical use for me right now?" Because if it isn't clear, I be all about dem robofarts.

Anyone with JJOS know if you can sequence sending MIDI clock to an output? Alternatively, anyone know any midi box that will stop or start clocks with MIDI signals? Something that could work like a start/stop for MIDI clock-based sequencers (x0xb0x, SQ-1, etc) without their own.

Yeah I think I phrased it badly - I'm looking for something that will send MIDI start/stop based on note (or something). I think anyway. Is there a way to send stop/start like CCs, to a channel, in the MIDI spec? The goal is to stop and start a slave clock while keeping the master clock running.

You can send MMC transport messages from anything that'll send sysex but you'll likely have to make the snippets yourself. It's been a million years but I'm sure device id is part of the message.
