Trying very hard not to spend this expense reimbursement I got from work on the Basimilus Iteritas Alia. Not sure I'm going to be successful, its way too rad. I did just order a "mint condition" SQ64 for $105 off of reverb. Couldn't pass that up.

i have this idea that i'd like to build a synth. it'd be fun. i guess the way to do that is to do the euro rack thing. but individual vco kits are at least $100, filters are more, id need to build a midi to cv thing, etc. i messed around in vcv rack and id need at least a couple vcos, a coupler filters, a vca or four, and at some point its just insanely expensive to get a mediocre-at-best synth that takes up half the gat-dang desk. so i'm probably not gonna do that. so are there any cool synth build kits out there yall know about?

You’re shooting for a polyphonic synth right off the bat when you might want to start mono and then expand later. Also, if you go Eurorack, why recreate the functionality of, essentially, a Korg Minilogue for more money? The joy of Eurorack is that it allows you to get weird and explore things you wouldn’t necessarily do with an out-of-the-box synthesizer. Any full synthesizer kits I can think of are either going to be monophonic (Dreadbox does limited runs from time to time), or experimental-type noisy things (Neutral Labs’ Elmyra). I’ve built a PAIA 9700 and wouldn’t recommend it. You’re better off sticking with Eurorack. Maybe a PAIA Fatman, which I have no experience with, but it’s more of a regular monosynth, whereas the 9700 is an odd-duck modular system in Frac Rack format in a world where Eurorack has won.

I haven't built or used one of these, but it looks pretty cool: https://www.tubeohm.com/jeannie-main.html Looks like you can get Shruthi kits there too. Its monophonic but was a Mutable Instruments design and sounds good e: yeah, you don't want to get into eurorack to recreate a regular rear end synth.

Eurorack is an obvious starting point because the standard is well defined and you can buy any components you don't currently have the skills to make and (assuming you don't short anything out) it will "just work." Moritz Klein on youtube has a pretty good library of how to make basic synthesis circuits. Still a money pit, but burning all your disposable income is the entire point of hobbies.

Between BMC and NLC there’s enough wild PCBs available to keep you busy for lifetimes. Sounds like you can tackle a BOM but synthcube does do kits for a mess of NLC’s. https://www.bartonmusicalcircuits.com https://www.nonlinearcircuits.com https://synthcube.com

synthcube does have the advantage of magpie panels as an option for NLC with their full kits. it is strongly suggested to pick up the SMD parts from your preferred component source or tayda instead due to significant cost savings

Also don't sleep on https://musicfromouterspace.com/ or http://www.synthpanel.com/. https://oakleysound.com/ is mostly MOTM but there are still some eurorack projects available if that's your thing.

Pollyanna posted:What exactly is that sign trying to say? Not to use use diodes with the breadboard, or to be careful because there are no diodes in the module? The sign is saying to not use polarized capacitors. Only ceramic, bidirectional. The manual is pretty great about saying x is safe to do, Y and z are not. If you screw it up, you might pop open components inside and out. Here's the full schematic for the module, and expander cards, as well as some suggested uses for the loose components we bundled in.

B33rChiller posted:I am just using the breadboard to expand the patch points from the front, so I can have more components in parallel. Kinda bodge together the circuits from the cards they sell. Oh nice! I just couldn't tell whether you were doing a more complicated circuit with them at first glance.  The photoresistor/diode combo is super fun, yeah. My favorite is pairing a 100nF capacitor with one of the cards, it causes a lot of high-pitched chirpy artifacts that sound loving awesome with the right drum loop.Pollyanna posted:What exactly is that sign trying to say? Not to use use diodes with the breadboard, or to be careful because there are no diodes in the module? Not to use electrolytic/polarized capacitors, because if voltage goes the wrong direction in them they go kaboom. They also caution against using transistors or ICs with the circuit, since unless you really know what you're doing it could also cause problems/component damage, but electrolytic capacitors are the easiest thing to put in there that could literally explode if put in wrong.

Hi all, I'm looking for a groovebox to pair with my microfreak. Right now I'm using it with a JDXI, what I dislike about the JDXI is the lack of song mode. I get 4 tracks, and 4 measures. I would like to replace this with either a circuit tracks, roland mv-101, or roland mc-101. At least I think those are the best options. Looking at the manuals it looks like all of these should be able to provide a song mode, but then I look at the workflows and some of them have odd menu diving, or the creation of songs is very limited. I would just like to be able to setup a song and jam with my microfreak without a pile of limitations, is there anything anyone here recommends?

I had it in my head it was mostly a drum machine/sampler, but my model:cycles sequences melodic stuff just fine so I suppose it’s ok?

On the 8 midi out tracks you can do up to 4 notes per "step", but on the 8 internal tracks you can only do 1 note per step. With the recent update it has a bunch of scales you can select from so you can jam out in keyboard mode and be entirely in key. Its a pretty nice brain tbh. I was using it to control my blofeld and beebo and had a blast

Depending on how you like to enter notes , melodic sequencing on the Digitakt isn’t quite as nice as with the Circuits. You can’t see 16 steps and 16 notes at the same time, but overall MIDI functionality is pretty great. You can assign 8 CCs and the MIDI LFOs are powerful. You also get all the other nice Elektron sequencer features like probability, scaling, micro-timing, fill triggers, various live and step recording modes, etc. You can hook up a MIDI keyboard and use the “auto channel” feature to easily play or record to the selected track.

I hope they bring back more of the POM 170 at $210, so that I can grab one of the post-revision models rather than take a chance on preowned or the few new-at-that-price ones left in retail dropping the POM 400 to sub-$300 and fixing the issues with the original run made it practically reasonably-priced for what you get

Just ordered new Hypersynth Hcard-701 for the DX-7, turning it into the ultimate preset machine. Space for 12800 presets. Can load off the cartridge as to not have to look at the screen. Plugging the DX-7 into the Digitone for the chrous/reverb/delay, sounds pretty dang good. Main setup I'd like to be DX7/m8/Digitone/MegaFM/Bluebox mixer. Trying to be somewhat minimal. Can anyone recommend some really good DJ style headphones? So Math posted:Hey folks. Wanted to share this with you. Sounds lke it's mixed pretty good for my laptop speakers! Very crisp, the filters set just right for good sound layers.

Voco[R]der is cool; the on board (digital) VCO is not amazing but having a built in VCO (and noise generator!) at all is just a nice bonus, on top of the weird rear end things you can do with looped spectral analysis you can scrub through like it's tape and vary the speed on. It's got a "rewire" knob that remaps input and output bands; at the furthest setting it goes to a random mapping and then you can get a new random mapping by wiggling a little. I'm not doing much music (aside from practicing a saxophone with some diligence) but I am learning a lot about what kinds of sounds produce interesting spectral signatures, harmonic signatures, etc. I want to mess with pushing stuff through a spectral delay on Hyperion before feeding it into the analyzer...
