Woah!! Awesome work!! Bravo, keep it going!!!

A big part for me was finding libraries of parts that will get you going so you do t have to create what you need in the beginning.
sparkfun and adafruit have some useful libraries that have helped me (Eagle user)

Fpga May be good for trying to recreate older devices that used lots and lots of logic IC’s. ?

Is it that we all want the old synths, or that cheap synths (clone or novel) spark the GAS in many of us? I am beyond wanting the old synths. Been there done that, -meh. But when something new/novel pops up, it is genuinely attractive. When the new attraction is “priced to move” I actively start thi...

Thanks, everybody! With the Grandmother, I've run into a few challenges carving individual modules out of the signal path to use with my Eurorack - for example, if I route a Eurorack voice through the Grandmother filter I don't see how to trigger the filter envelope independently of what the rest o...

Well Chopper at least Korg makes unique things too!! Volcas mono Trons and tribes, kaossilators. Etc etc actual new exciting things. Yes indeed, but you get my point about how needs settled and manufacturers react.... By the way, is there any new volcas/trons annonced ? Did I miss something??? I to...

For “self playing” you’d probably want some sort of random source and I guess a quantizer or two. Or a sequencer or two for more controlled self playing.. Comparators can create timing signals from envelopes, random sources or lfo’s. These timing signals can step sequencers, envelopes etc. a preamp/...

Missed your second post... So you’ve got a grandma. The crave is good because of the sequencer. I’d go for the minibrute2s over the crave. A little more $$ but you’re getting a bit more too. Not eurorack but then again you don’t need a rack and power supply etc. I think the grandma will cover all th...

The history of “cheap semi modulars” goes back to this very concept. It’s why the minimoog came about, because performing musicians were using the same basic patch structure for most of their sounds. So they packaged it up and there you go -Minimoog. Get a monosynth for all that stuff and yeah save ...

Well Chopper at least Korg makes unique things too!! Sure they grabbed the odyssey and released it.. 2600 also. But the MS20 is their design, so re releases are a-ok in my book. Volcas mono Trons and tribes, kaossilators. Etc etc actual new exciting things.

I remember the guitar pedal thing and thought it was disgusting then too.
Can’t teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

I hope they go after the electric guitar market next. I’ll bring the popcorn.

Maybe just maybe if Beh tried to create something unique, like they did with the Neutron and deepmind... there would a bit less of a bad taste in our mouths. Here we seem to have a company that really wants to make analog, they have the manufacturing to do it, apparently they have engineers somewher...

Affordability-duh.
Availability- yeah, at some point maybe. What’s not available now that this amazing ripoff job is bringing to the table?
Reliability-don’t hold your breath. These are modern disposable consumer electronic garbage like the latest whatever you get at Best Buy.

Licensing rights??? Since when does that matter in the synth world?
(Playing Devils advocte here..)

Ethics aside, switching formats how is permission need for that in any way? (But please keep it frack!!)

PLEASE move all this shite to the thread none of them care to use.

If you start a thread about a synth that doesn’t even really exist yet, a synth that brings zero new features to the world..... well, what else is the thread going to be about?

Changes the “geometry” of how the carrier cv modulates the internal sine oscillator .. 1 does less of this, 2 does more, and 3 is the most modulation. May need a scope to get more specific about the effect. It’ll definitely produce a different effect that in settings one and two. Probably very depen...

I’d like a euro-sized system 15/35/55 behind one big panel in a nice wooden case. The modules are boring. But the idea of patching a system of that era with all of its nuances and “flaws” and amazing aspects, without any modern add-ons is appealing. Of course it could be put together module by modul...

Bored with the reissues already.
TR8-S covers all the xox and everything else. Done

If this noob just wants to patch away and make sound, then yeah it’s a fine place to start. But if this noob really wants to learn the ins and outs of synthesis then in my opinion, a more standard vanilla subtractive set of modules is a better place to start. Sometimes you just want a nice square wa...

‘ASol ripoff’ is a bit harsh.. I mean, are you ready to define the ‘EMS 100’ sound for us?

A synth that big should be so flexible that it avoids having a ‘sound’.

No sine waves is a big omission, stacking sine oscillators is a pretty fundamental synthesis technique!

Xnor, you do NOT need $200 worth of connectors to bring your synth to your power supply. That may be great for an all expense spared system but really, these things have been making glorious music for decades with $2 worth of connectors. Yes the basic sts power supply situation could be improved, an...

Adaris response is a great approach too. Similarly would be using an envelope generator, slow attack rate.

So, higher cv for a longer time between triggers? Thoughts- invert the trigger signal so off time is +v and the triggers are low. Send the signal through a slow lag processor, it’s output will get higher depending on the time between triggers. Longer time -higher v at the lag processors output. With...

Built one of these from the kit back in the day as well. Was a fun little unit. Nothing too overwhelming compared to today’s offerings, but yeah back then, this was cutting edge synth DIY. Also from that era, Gene Stopp’s ASM-1, single pcb modular. Chris list designed and made the 4u panels with ser...
