EP03 PSU Load Testing - Elektor Formant Modular Synthesizer Overhaul

Published on Jul 27, 2015 FPV Electronics

"In this episode I test the cheap eBay LM2596 Modules with an adjustable electronic load. Turns out they are horrible: more than 100 mVpp ripple at 1 A. It gets better when another inductor is added in series with the module, but I chose to go with the original Elektor design after all."

"Roland SH 101 Analog Synthesiser with spare battery door cover and pitch bend wheel.

The synthesiser is in excellent condition for its age with only a few minor dings as you can see in the photos. Everything functions as it should, all faders and buttons etc are fully functional.

As you can see the battery compartment is clean with no signs of battery leakage. There are a few minor scuffs around the battery compartment as can be seen in the photos.

On the bottom / underside of the synth someone has written their name as can be seen in the photo, this I'm sure could be cleaned off if necessary but it has never bothered me so I haven't bothered to do this.

I'm also including a brand new spare battery door cover and pitch bend wheel. These are almost impossible to buy now and and will help to future proof the synth for its new owner.

Original Roland power supply included. The user manual can be found online as a PDF.

Overall this is an excellent example that has been well looked after."

3ReV Demo's Roland AIRA System-1M, Demora, Scooper Modular FX

Published on Jul 16, 2015 3Rev Videos and Stuff

"Here is quick video demonstrating the Roland AIRA System-1M semi-modular Synthesizer with the AIRA Scooper (Scatter/Looper) and Demora (Delay unit) Modular effects. If you have done your homework you will know that this stuff is Eurorack compatible etc etc. so I m not going to go into that stuff here. If you want specs go to www.roland.com/aira

In this Video I'm using the AIRA modules in their more traditional Role as FX units following a Standard Audio path. As explained in the Video, Roland did not give me any extra patch cables with the modules! I needed the ones that came with the System 1M just to get the audio out.

Yes, I could have only used 1 module to Show off CV routing to one of the FX from the System 1 but it still would have been limited and If I'm going to show off the Modular-ness units properly I want moar cables!"

New Livid Instruments minim MIDI Controller

Uploaded on Jul 24, 2015 lividTV

via discchord: "Livid has announced that they will be announcing a new mini MIDI controller on the 29th. The Minim is priced at around $150. While you could buy a full-sized Launchpad for that, it is relatively affordable compared to other Livid offerings! Here's a teaser video showing the little devices paired with an iPhone, iPad, and a Mac."

Anyone tell/know if these are tactile button controllers vs. touch screen? Update: they are hardware.
