Bass Bin & Test Oscillatior

Published on Dec 26, 2012 by sonodrome

"The Base Bin was built by myself and Neal Spowage, it is a portable sound diffusion device for performance applications. The Test Oscillator features wave shaping and a modulation input.

Thx to Mindaugas Orlovas for assistance with video production."

Ronin Synth Ronin 802 – Now Available

Available at Ronin Synth

"After many months of development, the Sonodrome team is very pleased to announce that the Ronin 802 is now available for purchase! Manufactured in the UK, this new breed of Open Source stand alone digital synthesizer is Arduino compatible, and offers a flexible platform for the development of custom electronic instruments and sound processing units. For none-code-monkeys it comes complete with a Graphical User Interface, and as usual the Sonodrome team are always on hand to answer any questions, or help you along with your Ronin 802 based projects. Just drop us an email on info@sonodrome.co.uk."

555 Optical Envelope Generator with Kat

YouTube Uploaded by sonodrome on Jan 3, 2012

"Kat takes a quick look at a new circuit design. This circuit uses a single 555 timer to generate an envelope which controls the brightness of an LED. The LED is then coupled with an LDR, allowing the envelope to control the amplitude and pitch of an audio oscillator.

Here's a link to the schematic:

In this particular implementation the frequency control is quite sensitive to impedance on the audio output, to get consistent pitch modulation we recommend using a buffer on the audio output."

Pictured: "Posc - a battery powered, pocket sized oscillator. It has two square wave oscillators, one of which is controlled by changes in the user's skin resistance over two metal contacts. The pitch of the second square wave oscillator is controlled by manipulating the amount of light received by the light dependent resistor. The Posc can be set to work in either stereo or mono output through a standard 1/4" audio jack, so is compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. It is ideal for use with guitar amplifiers and effects pedals, PA systems, and can even be plugged directly into your computer or Hi-Fi audio inputs."

and: "Posc Rack - This easy to use effects rack will transform the Posc's sound, with 3 different effects units in one. Aside from EQ, Delay and Modulation the rack will also record in various standard audio formats. Each unit can save multiple presets which can then be saved and exported as a file. Try it out, it's not just suitable for the Posc, it does great things with other instruments too."

There are samples on site.
