Site Maintenance Tonight!

Just a heads up, but my ISP tells me they will be performing server maintenance tonight at 10PM PST for 1 to 4 hours and the site is expected to go down during the process. I'm not happy, but they did give me advance notice. You might remember this post. That was me trying to move DNS servers to prevent the outage but I realized the impact would likely be greater than just holding my breath through tonight so I backed out. We'll see how it goes. You all should be out or sleeping by then anyway!

On a side note, I'm curious if http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com will work. Currently I have it set to go to m.matrixsynth.com.

Extended Tetrazzi Test

Published on May 17, 2013 NakagawaGakki·43 videos

"Here are some excerpts from my first test with the Extended Tetrazzi I have built. I spent about an hour exploring it right after I first turned it on this afternoon, sooo much fun.
The Tetrazzi PCB was ordered from Super instrument designer Peter Blasser at Ciat Lonbarde - http://www.ciat-lonbarde.net/tetrazzi/ Its sadly discontinued now, but the Tetrax is now available.
I want to take this basic design and extend it to become a more expressive and per formative instrument in my setup. I took some inspiration from the way the Tetrax is laid out.
I started by making the wooden play Barres longer to create more flex, a kind of "Differential Lever". This basically means that pressing down (and pulling up!) on either side of the fulcrum will produce different results. This modification alone has added a lot more subtle expression to the Tetrazzi.
I have brought all the SQT and TRN points for each internal Oscillator out to a metal (banana) jack that doubles the function. I can use the socket as a touch point to "bend" with my fingers but also temporarily hard wire these connections to retain a patch. Also these Banana jack are standard on Modular Synthesizers so I hope to be able to interface this with my modular in the future.
There are still 3rows of jacks that are unused ATM, I hope to further modify this instrument to add even more playability. There are many ideas at http://pugix.com/synth/modular-tetrazzi/ who has completely opened up the Tetrazzi and converted it into a fully blown Modular Panel.
Although I wont go this far I hope to glean some valuable info from his site.

The case of my Extended Tetrazzi has been designed and cut by me in the CAD/CAM environment using a CNC machine. The Barres have been especially carved down (on the underside) in such a way that they flex right over the hidden piezo sensors.
All wood is reclaimed Jarrah floorboards from a house that was being demolished nearby my workshop."
