Next case

Back in early June I posted about how the original-and-expanded Kosmodrome case was close to full. Not too long after I started building another case to house more Kosmodrome as Phase 2 proceeds. It was pretty similar to the original-before-expansion first case. It’s select pine dimensional lumber for the top, sides, and front. The back […]

Case two part two a: MIDI-CV

I’m kind of surprised how few DIY MIDI/CV modules are out there. Befaco has one… LMNC has one, but it’s too powerful! It offers a lot of functionality I currently would not use, and its 100 mm width would be wasted on me. There’s not much else, but there’s the Erica Synths one. I believe […]

Case two part two

I’ve been doing more thinking, planning, designing. If this new case is going to be, conceptually anyway, a synth capable of standing alone and not just more modules added to the ones I’ve got, then maybe that synth needs a name. Kosmodrome? Maybe. In deciding what to put in it I looked to the old […]

Case two

My new synth case was planned in mid spring as a replacement for and expansion upon my temporary Eurorack case, but making it was delayed in the futile hope the pandemic would abate more and sooner than it has. During said pandemic I’ve done a lot of building, so by the time I finally made […]

MotherEuroKosmoCase

Finally got the new case together. My woodworking skills are rudimentary at best and it shows, but it does seem to be sturdy and functional enough. Not a moment too soon, either; it’ll be full before long! The panel in the middle is a bunch of passive “jumblers”/multiples and attenuators. The former good for both […]

Mail call 2

I’ve been using some of my stimulus money to help shore up the USPS (and FedEx). Today’s in order of increasing length: 10 mm, M2 screws and spacers to put a couple Eurorack boards together. ~20 mm, nothing to do with synthesizers or music though there’s always this. ~480 mm, because CV keyboard. Yes, I […]

The limits to growth

[Edited 3 Feb 2020] I seem to be going rapidly from mostly empty rack to darn near full. I just added the Timbre (8 HP), Reverb/Echo (4 HP), and S.H (4 HP) and as of Saturday I have a board and panel for a Ring (4 HP). Today I received PCBs and panels for an […]
