Malekko Wiard Anti Envelope

via Malekko on Muff's:
"Well no rest for the wicked, and Grant Richter must never sleep!!!

He's been working very hard on the next Wiard/Malekko release, the much anticipated ANTI-ENVELOPE! Here is my initial mockup, nothing is locked into place, it is just initial. The top row are toggles, of course the red button is a trigger, the loop is a toggle to go from "one shot" to loop!

10 sliders
a row of pots
ins
and outs

This is obviously a non traditional, and very complex env, capable of many interesting feats such as "strummed" notes etc

stack several firing at the same time or set multiple envs up serially for a monster sequencer!

Were shooting for a cost of about 300.00
More info coming soon!"

"Circuit Bent Little Tikes PopTunes Big Rocker Keyboard. I added a speed pot, a harsh noise bend that can be activated by either a momentary switch or a toggle, and a switch to stick the keyboard into a one-note loop."

Fixing a Synthex joystick - part 1

Fixing a Synthex joystick - part 2


Fixing a Synthex joystick - part 3


"Another story for the DIYers among us.

Today, i repaired the joystick of an Elka Synthex. This was a bit more complicated, as the joystick is reveted together, so i needed to modify the mechanics a bit to use screws to put it back together.
This took the whole morning, and i didnt see much i could cut out of the videos i took over this period, so this is another multipart video series.

The main cleaning procedure is the same i use on potentiometers having major trouble, this part is quite simple.

All in all, this is another video showing that even hopeless damage (im sorry i didnt take videos of the condition of the synthex with this joystick before i started the repair) is no killer for unobtainable parts if you invest enough patience to get them back to life.

Part 1 shows how to take it apart and prepare it for using screws to put it together later
Part 2 is some mechanical work for the screws and cleaning the potentiometers
Part 3 shows how to put the thing together and test it

Hope anyone else with similar problems can use it as a motivation to try to repair it. The joystick was in a condition where i couldnt lose anything, it was completely unusable, i had the choice between further damaging it so its just left there as decoration or to get it fixed - which was successful."
