Malekko E600M update

via Melekko:
"I thought i'd give everyone an update on the E600M module. Of course, were experiencing the saga of backordered parts, electronics component companies can take months to get you parts... Anyway, for those that missed the first post, this is the new 600mS analog delay we're offering. It has CV for every function,delay time, mix, and regen..and feedback loop too! the feedback loop has a level knob to adjust the amount of feeding back it will do...also the pot is a pull out type (because we ran out of room) so if it's pulled out you can modulate the feedback loop via CV and adjust the amount..
The last post was the prototype, this is what the production run will look like (sorry about the crappy pic)...just some module pron to get everyone through until they are released.
My guess now for availability is late Oct. and at 285.00. http://malekkoheavyindustry.com/"

DIY UV lamp for PCB exposure

YouTube via MusicMiK. Posting this one for the DIY aspect of it all. You might remember MusicMiK form these videos.
"No directly synthesizer related stuff today, as i'm currently building a new tool - an ultraviolet lamp for creating PCBs by exposing the photosensitive coating to this UV light later.

See more about the construction here:

http://www.mik-music.org/tiki/gallery53

This unit is not yet completed, i need to build a powerful Step-Up converter for about 80V and 0.6A to feed the LEDs, which are chained in 30 chains of 22 LEDs each. Besides this, some more mechanical work is needed and a timer will also be built in. And of course - safety. You don't want to look into a 40 watts 400nm UV light source accidentally :)"

Binary Beat

Binary Beat from Niklas Roy on Vimeo.
"This is an experiment, where I count one byte up - from 00000000 to 11111111. Decimal spoken, this is from 0 to 255. I have assigned a sound to each bit and when it switches from 0 to 1, the sound is played.

3^n Beat

3^n Beat from Niklas Roy on Vimeo.
"This is an experiment, where I'm counting in the numeral system on the basis 3. The count goes from 000000 to 222222. In the decimal world, this is from 0 to 728. I have assigned a sound to each digit and when it switches from 1 to 2, the sound is played.

This video is part of an investigation of the correlation between numeral systems and music. While the beat in this video sounds a bit awkward, it is interresting to compare it with the binary beat."

Analogue Systems rs390 Echo Module and rs200 Sequencer Fun

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"The rs390 is a very clean (24-bit converters) digital delay in Eurorack format with up to three seconds of delay time. There is a fun little range switch which allows you to cut your delay times on the fly You have CV control over the the delay time and the wet/dry mix. It is a stereo delay, capable of great sounding ping-pong delays but this is a mono video. Stereo soon!

We're also using two rs200 Sequential Controllers to great effect as well as two rs150 Sequential Switches, the rs280 Signal Trigger/Clock Divider and a bit of the rs260 Voltage Quantizer (Quantiser!) for the chord modulation. The rs200 can send end pulse outs to trigger the next row and there are a centerline of switches to turn on or off trigger pulses for each row. Trigger 3 is on all the time."
