Synthrotek APC and 8-step to TV

Published on Nov 7, 2014 drumasaurusrex

"This is my trusty Synthrotek 8-step sequencer with built in APC. The audio is being amplified and piped directly into the TV's composite video RCA jack. Usually the signal is white and black (even tho color TV). This television has a mode to change the color mode to blue, and that is what you see in this video.
Cheers!"

Instructables DIY iPad Clothespin Piano

Published on Nov 6, 2014 Adam Kumpf

"Here's a hack that creates a piano interface which tricks the iPad into thinking it's being played directly by your fingers. All materials together cost less than $5.
Full step-by-step instructions here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Cloth..."

"Touchscreens are great, but when it comes to playing music on them, the lack of physical keys can be a drag. So I decided to round up some household stuff and make a piano keyboard that tricks the iPad into thinking it's being played by your fingers (with the help of some clothespins and aluminum foil)!

It's quite easy to make a capacitive piano interface, and all told it cost me less than $5. All you need is some wooden clothespins, foil, markers, tape, rubber bands, stiff cardboard, and some patience to cut and piece it all together.

For this project you'll need:

Clothespins (1 for each key you want to make)
Rubber bands (10-20)
Aluminum foil
Pens, pencils, or thin markers to prop up the keys
Tape (any kind is fine)
Stiff cardboard or card stock for the base (I repurposed a sturdy folder)
Some basic cutting tools (scissors and something to make small holes)
Straight edge or ruler for drawing lines"

Fonitronik Cascade 4hp Flexible Mixing & Attenuverting Toolkit on Sale

Follow-up to the video posted here. The Fonitronik Cascade 4hp Flexible Mixing & Attenuverting Toolkit is now available at Thonk.

Some details via the online manual here:

"Back in 2007 I sold DIY PCBs for an attenuverting mixer designed for eurorack. This project eventually turned into the 1st fonitronik product that came into the stores early in 2010. The module provided 4 channels and a final summing stage with a simple RC network to remove DC offset, when desired. Alas, with 12HP the module itself was rather large. Too large for a lot of people today. So I decided to redesign the module and I am now proud to be able to present the successor of the fonitronik mh01 as a DIY project via THONK, the CASCADE triple attenuverting mixer/processor in 4HP only. It does MIX, INVERT, ATTENUATE, ADD GAIN The module provides 3 channels of ‘attenu-gain-vertion’, each with it’s own bicolor LED. The input of each channel is normalled to a voltage source. There are two modes of mixing the three channels , which could be set by a jumper: CASCADE: output of channel #1 is mixed into channel #2 (as long as no cord is patched into output 1), output of channel #2 is mixed into channel #3 (as long as no cord is patched into output 2).
PARALLEL: both the outputs of channel #1 & #2 are mixed into channel #3 (as long as no cords are patched into the outputs).

Again, inputs are normalled to an internal voltage source. As soon as you patch the inputs they are removed from that source. The outputs are normalled to the internal mixing (depending on mode jumper), however, as soon as you patch the outputs they are removed from the internal mixing. This makes this module very versatile. Just guess: when using channel one for attenuverting a signal (Fig. a) you could still use channels 2 & 3 to attenuvert and offset another signal"
