"This is a demo of some of the MIDI functions of the Solar Module. The Solar Module is an 8 bit synth and a MIDI controller. You can plu the Solar Module into any MIDI device, such as a drum machine, keyboard, synth module, or PC/Mac MIDI software. Anything that accepts MIDI input!

Solar Module by ElectroKraft.com
"The Solar Module is a combination MIDI controller and 8 Bit synthesizer.

Moving your hand above the photocell sensor, the Solar Module behaves like a Theremin. MIDI output and synth output, it's 2 instruments in one.

Notice how the synth can sound very much like an 80's video game? That's called the 8 bit sound.

Enjoy.

via electro-music.com where you will find more info and other people's designs of this DIY sequencer by Ken Stone's Catgirl Synth.

"An 8-step analogue sequencer/programmer, newly-built, not quite working 100% as yet. It's an iteration of Ken Stone's excellent design, and a set of PCBs is available here, if you want to build one yourself. Recommended, but not for a first electro-music DIY project, there's a lot of wiring up involved."

"I built this synthesizer kit. At first I thought it was broken, but after Jason helped me troubleshoot the circuit I realized that the audio jack was just wired wrong.

This panel is just temporary for putting the whole thing together. I'm going to build a better enclosure to stick everything inside of that will look better than cardboard and ink jet printout.

"I sold the Moog LP and bought a Waldorf Blofeld. It seems to kick major ass.

The modulation matrix is pretty insane in that you can do weird things like route the pitch bend amount to FM amounts and have the sustain pedal increase LFO speed. (Actually it's a lot more powerful than that). Fun."
