*dancing around this cute little setup*
I bought a wind up toy during lunchtime yesterday and converted it to take Triggers 😀 and it has such a nice slap/snare character!
-
Applied physics 101 - so now I have a much more controlled and accurate striking method. Fun to use things from around the house like these tiny ice cream spoons we saved from somewhere!
-
The scale is working again and I have this nice harness of weirdness dangling on my desk!

CW: synth expo
Spent a bit of time at a local guitar pedal & synth expo, mostly for the synth part. I was surprised how much of the synth examples were "here's my version of Teenage Engineering's OP-Z" or other various digital synths-in-a-box. Kinda disappointing, really. Barely any eurorack, and nobody selling DIY kits!
4ms was there, and their racks were cool enough, but they were promoting their MetaModule, which is basically a Pi running an entire VCV Rack install embedded in a eurorack module. Seriously, you can call up any virtual module you want and wire up everything virtually. At that point, why have a real rack?
PDX Synth Library was there, and had some neat rack builds. One was a skiff made from a section of PVC conduit, with the lid + handle also serving as the stand... Seems like something that would be very easy with a handful of 3d-printed inserts.
But yeah, not really much else for the #synthdiy hobbyist. -
The next part of the rat orchestra with #cablesGL and #vcvrack :
A very squeaky step sequencer, press the encoder to enable or disable step. Change the value to change pitch.

Here's a better example of my newly built Passive Low Pass Gate acting in a real patch.
The Chord Organ by Music Thing Modular is a great VCO to use here, the bouncy echoes come from the sound being run through the LPG, which is being driven by triggers from the Doepfer A160-2 clock divider. The clock source and echoes are the 4MS Dual Looping Delay.
Other incidental sounds appear from several additional sound sources, including the Benjolin that is driving other sequencers and gates.
-
Final version of the DIY passive Low Pass Gate. From design to build in about 3-4 days.
Had some troubleshooting to do with ground connections but got it working without too much fuss.
I built this specifically to go in the case in the video because I needed a simple filter for a different dimension on the existing sound palette.
-
Passive LPG is live!!
Here, the VCO is sending a pure square wave melodies into the low pass gate. The Maths is in repeat mode, sending very short envelopes to the LPG.
In the middle, the switch lets all the sound through and accents the sound with the control voltage coming in.
But switched to the top (bouncy!) and bottom (mellow!), the filter slope is modified by bigger capacitors so that only the CV pings can be heard.
-
LPG progressing nicely. Buss wire for ground and mechanical stability.
-
Got the main board for the low pass gate done. Might trim the back legs of the vactrol so it lays flatter. Also finished up the panel, laying on the table in the background.
Tested a handful of vactrols and found one I like, but it is amazing how different they can sound.
-
Y'all wanted some sound so here's some sound... 😎
Pulse wave from Benjolin2 and CV from Maths.
-
It feels so nice to put my whole mind into something completely different.
Planning the low pass gate into a 3hp panel.
-
Prototype working for a passive (no power) low pass gate with vactrol, featuring switchable film capacitors for filter character changes. Sounds really nice!

I'm designing an ADSR circuit where I use a schmitt trigger to store the state of the envelope and figuring out the resistor values to get the threshold voltages I wanted was a bit slow, so I made this little tool for playing around with them: https://tools.sandelinos.me/opamp-schmitt-trigger-playground
Just put in the output saturation voltages of your opamp and mess around with the resistor values (the arrow buttons jump through E12 standard values) until you get thresholds that you like.

Just did some testing and confirmed that every "TL072" and "TL074" I used during my first few years of building my synthesizer were actually relabeled LM356/LM324 chips. Never buy cheap ICs from ebay and aliexpress if you can avoid it. #SynthDIY #electronics

Late for the #303day, but happy to share an acidic performance that was inspired by the more aggressive end of the 303 sound.

Does anyone happen to know whether Bernie Hutchins of Electronotes fame is still around?
I'd like to buy his "everything" package, but his web page has a notice from 2020 that he's not taking orders.

Twenty minutes of figuring out the best envelope, resonance and distortion for an Acid House track? Just follow me this way:

Eldest completed his first soldering project, a Rakit disintegrated cracklebox.

Started working on a digital hardware synthesizer project for harmonic/microtonal droning. Quite pleased that I got it working and it sounds nice ! 8 mutable instruments oscillators and a filter squeezed into the small and affordable Pi Pico2. I have some really fun ideas for this instrument but I have now overcome the biggest blockage which is making sound with this thing at all. Also, yes, extremely clicky encoder I'm using, haha. #arduino #raspberrypi #cpp #dsp #synthdiy #synth

Version 2 of the #eurorack overdrive module:
- Placed filtering caps closer to op amp.
- Schottkey diodes to protect against reverse polarity.
- Tip normal of input jack connected to ground to avoid noise/hum/interference when nothing is plugged in.
- Unity gain for unused op amp.
- More compact design.I'm running out of ideas for what to improve. The next version will have drive, tone, and volume controls. #synthdiy #diy_electronics #electronicsDIY

I appear to have created a "sound card" for a 4-bit CPU.
As you do.
