You can support these videos and get lots of extra videos and songs here :- / lookmumnocomputer
Patreon is a massive enable to making videos, the larger DIY projects would be a lot more strung out without it! so i cant thank my supporters enough.
It Also keeps the lights on at @THISMUSEUMISNOTOBSOLETE where you can come and play this synth!

It all starts with nice soldering iron and some good likeminded people around you to explore your new synth DIY enterprises. And before you know it you cannot stop ;)

@dyscotopia 13 днів тому
Absolutely. I've taken to reading the manuals of what I have and learning all sorts of cool tricks that I'd never have discovered. Didn't keep me from buying a novation monostation (which is a beast, but takes some learning), but I think I'm at the point where I can sell off what isn't getting used much
@andewprod 12 днів тому
maybe then dont grow it ;) i personally have the same very analogue eurorack system with 2 semis for 1.5 years already and i find more and more everytime i use it! I think that if you have many new modules, especially those fancy multi-function modules from fancy manufacturers you can get very overwhelmed. imo creativity comes from limitiation because there you *create* new ways to get to your idea.

My unsolicited advice: If your main passion is making music, I encourage you to give yourself an acquisition hiatus - there will always be sweet kit to get at some point - and take the time to really dive into the instruments you have, explore each one individually and then together with one another. Then you'll start evaluating if gear will fulfill a role your others can't, or don't do well, etc. - meaning your future acquisitions are more purposeful to your music making. Unless of course your passion is more synths themselves rather than making music (and I personally don't see anything wrong with that if you're being responsible with your income).

This sh*t is SO RAD. A quintessential representation of why this channel itself is SO RAD - an exposition on obscure synthesizers, notably one so icebox cool as the Steim. Those sounds, those sexy knobs. Black electrical tape holding in the modules is wicked punk rock. Great interview tidbits with some folks behind the tools. Also always a delight in witnessing women who work with synthesizers. Extra love.

Interresting to see Meccano beeing used in the construction of some of the modules. It’s kind of the ideal framework material for DIY electronics enclosures. My father often used bare aluminum panels in the 70’s for creating the enclosures of his electronics projects. Meccano is ideal to hold these things together and those angle profiles where readily available.

@hanshandkante5055 13 днів тому
The idea of building a modular system in which the modules are not directly connected to each other but rather led into a matrix so that every module can be connected to every other module is brilliant. By looking at the matrix you could see how the sound is constructed without having to laboriously trace every single cable between the modules. In addition, it is much easier to access the module controls if there are no cables hanging in front of them.

@KeritechElectronics 8 днів тому
Nice synth! Cool to learn about the Dutch hacking scene too. Veerle is right on the money with making vintage equipment accessible! So much of it ends up either scrapped or hoarded by collectors who can afford to buy it, and while these people are often nerds like us and care about the tech, it leaves the likes of me, a gal on a low income even by my country's standards (and since I live in Poland, exchange rates make it prohibitively expensive to buy internationally) but passionate about old electronics, with very limited access to vintage tech. I hoard whatever I get for free or can buy inexpensively on local secondhand markets, but buying cool things on eBay is no-go here. 14:47 nice calculator, I wonder what model it is. Pretty much alike my Soemtron 220, but I bet that being Western, it was built with ICs rather than discrete germanium DTL and ferrite core memory.

I have been working on electronics and music for over 40 years and I never new there was such a thing as the ACID Solder Club. Back in the day I built an interface to control the various modules from an Atari ST computer at the Amsterdam conservatory. This had an R&D group similar to STEIM that made a lot of nice things, mainly for educational purposes.

Keep bringing em' bruh..... The modular and (evolution of) the mainstream scene depends on it.... I'm holding out for the day a modular act crushes the mainstream and cracks open the plastic it is made of. Making it happen in unison with artists owning their original recordings will rid the landscape of record company trolls..... I'm allowed to dream so shutup when you're talking to me.

Doepfer do it too in their oscillators
@AnalogDude_ 13 днів тому
Nah, just a waste of heat and parts, you should only do that if you need precision references or voltages. If you power an inverting opamp setup from +/-12 volt and another such setup powered from +/-6V connected to the first, a normal 10V.p.p. signal would pass at same amplitude a properties as the first opamp powered with 12V accept less headroom. I use the Roland approach with 100R and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor as done in the TR-909, TR-606, etc and run the modules at a slightly lower potential as the PSU of the eurorack system, so the PSU has higher potential and frequencies, noise don't leak back.

@AnalogDude_ 13 днів тому
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER check the CV input chain of the A110 it's based on 10V, as the timing cap, it simplifies the calculation of resistors relative to 1Voct. the timing cap would charge faster using 12V giving you all sort of problems to solve with resistors. Dieter is German and they like precision, it's their nature. i stared few hours to this schematic, it's a really good VCO, temperature stable using the CA3046 configured as tempco.
