"Yesterday I received another bunch of parts for my ASM-2. With this parts I finished the PCB. I only miss two 120 nF capacitors. The strange thing is that no manufacturer has those values anymore in their assortment. I will ask Elby Designs if they can supply them or maybe I can replace them with 100 nF or 150 nF. I don't know how critical the value is. Two other components are not fitted yet."

MonoMiK DIY synth mechanics

YouTube via MusicMiK. You can find more previously posted here.
"Building a DIY synthesizer not just involves all this interesting electronics, there is also a lot of mechanics to do. As i want to create a lot of documentation for the current project, the MonoMiK, i had the camera running during my 6 hours of mechanics work today and created a video from it.

This is most of the inner frame holding the modules later and giving the synthesizer stability and some sort of electric shield."

3 synthesizer Bach chorales (Switched on XioSynth)

video upload by syntesen

"In this video, I have realized 3 Bach chorales with the $299 XioSynth synthesizer in the style of Wendy Carlos!

None of these chorales are included on any J.S. Bach synthesizer album, so they are "all new". Sheet music courtesy of CPDL (http://cpdl.org)!

Hope you like it! :)"
