Circuit Skills: Perfboard Prototyping

YouTube via makemagazine | June 24, 2010 | 8:37

"When you think - "DIY electronics", one of the first images that likely comes to mind is a bunch of parts and wire soldered to a standard piece of perforated circuit board - and that makes sense. Perfboard is super-versatile - essentially it's just a grid of potential solder-point connections. You can trim it down to just the size you need - or leave extra space for future enhancements ... or revisions, if need be."

"Its alright"

"Hi! :)
This is a new composition written 6-19-10.
We have a special guest joining us, our best friend Rachel is performing the synth strings patch using the Roland D-50 (original patch) controlled through the Roland A-90. She has only played synths for 4 DAYS, she's awesome!! :)
Crystal (msMotif6) is playing the Motif6, the organ,cymbals, and synth patch are played by her.
I am playing the lead on the Roland Alpha Juno-1. The track on the Motif6 , the Rhodes, and the drums were written and sequenced by me. :)

Please enjoy!! :)

:) TSF MsMotif6 and Rachel"

DOUP 1, 2, 3 Musical Machines

"Doup1 (top right) being used for the speaker. The voltage levels of the DOUP2 and 3 are too hot for it to handle. Each one has a speaker now, and the Doup2 even has a modular feedback mic on the plugbank.

Also I might add the mixer bottom right was found at the Vancouver Flea Market for the reasonable price of 15$. And it works. What are the odds...

Top left is a little blue box that just has a few 100k potentiometers, resistors, and converts phone plugs to the phono more common audio plugs that the mixer is fitted for. Needed something to adapt the plugs.

DOUP3 (top-center-left) has a lot of voltage range, more than DOUP2.

Also more speed variation since I put in a 100k pot parallel with the 1m pot (the flipswitch next to the blue patch cord taps it in). So it can go very slow to very fast.

Now I just need to put in a volume control for the built-in speaker. It's deafening."

The control voltages used are keyboard voltage, mod wheel, envelope and LFO. We apologize for the audio quality in this clip. For more information please visit http://www.lzxindustries.net"
