Splashy

Sam Battle put up a new Kosmo module on the LMNC store last month called 2399 Triple Splashback Delay. You’ll recall back in January I built a Eurorack echo/reverb module based on a Chinese board bought on eBay which in turn is based on a PT2399 delay chip. The 2399 is based on three PT2399s, […]

Gate Grindest

I have the permanent front panel on the Gate Grinder now. I also swapped out the 1.8k resistors at the outputs for 1.2k, bringing the output voltage up to 5V. It seems to trigger everything I’ve tried it on except the Sample and Hold… which on closer examination isn’t triggering on anything, including itself; in […]

To the metal

Here’s an easy project from Quincas “SynthDIYGuy” Moreira: He builds a module that serves as an interface to an expression pedal, for no-hands variation of a control voltage. It uses two jacks, one potentiometer, two resistors, and an LED. Simple. Except it gets less simple when we dig into it. The problem is that Quincas’s […]

Gate Grinder

This is a module I’ve been thinking about since January. Nothing sexy, very much a utility module, but I was excited to get it together and working (pretty much) partly because it’s a more ambitious design project than any I’ve done before, and partly because it provides functionality I haven’t seen in any other DIY […]

Mikrophonics

My latest orders from PCBWay arrived yesterday! Printed circuit boards and front panels. This may have been an odd choice for my first Kosmo module, but it’s not like I didn’t have a decent set of bread and butter modules already. Which is what’s available so far from LMNC, so if I wanted something more […]

Konversion

Religious conversion is always a dicey topic but I’m willing to give it a try. To remind you, I’ve been building a small Eurorack system since early last year. I have twlve modules built with another two in the queue. A remark three weeks ago from Trevor Pinch prompted me to do some thinking about […]

Kosmology

I started following the Look Mum No Computer YouTube channel recently, as well as the Look Mum No Computer but more serious ish channel. Sam Battle’s a wild and weird guy, as is probably anyone who’s ever built a Furby organ, and his methods are not my methods, but he’s a great proponent for seat-of-the-pants, […]
