uzumaki / modular adaptation

Published on Apr 22, 2016 dresseduplunch

"I'm currently in the process of adapting my liveset to my new modular setup, which, if everything goes right, will debut in may this year. Also, the octatrack is back (also note that the MBase kick is triggered by the modular).

Equipment:
elektron octatrack
Jomox MBase 11
sequentix cirklon
jomox T-resonator
modular synth: acidlab 8LMHT, intellijel rubicon, mutable instruments braids, synthesis technology morphing terrarium"

new nonlinear circuits squid axon

Published on Apr 22, 2016 cirtcele

"Just some examples of the signals from the Squid Axon when fed a tri-wave and clocks at various rates. Adjusting the feedback pots gives various chaotic bursts. More info - http://nonlinearcircuits.blogspot.com..."

"Just the module everybody has been waiting for! A squid brain cell simulator!

The Squid Axon is a circuit based on the Hodgkin-Huxley equation describing the chaotic behaviour observed in giant squid axons. The inspiration for the module came from a 2003 paper by T. Matsuzaki & M. Nakagawa, titled 'A Bipolar Logistic Chaos Neuron and Its Hardware Implementation'.

Basically it is a four stage analog shift register with two feedback paths, one nonlinear and one linear (I do try to walk the line). If you turn the feedback paths down to zero, you get a regular ASR. Turn up the feedback to get more complex and staggered patterns from the 4 CV outputs. It will happily run at audio rates as well."

Korg DW8000: my favourite filter

Published on Apr 22, 2016 skrapadelix

"The Korg DW8000 and its rack-mounted sibling, the EX-8000 contain my favourite lowpass filter with a moody, dark tonality I'd love to see replicated in a Euro module. Here's an ancient (1998) tune I found on a DAT tape that showcases this unique and often overlooked filter in its glory."

"I just threw this together quickly in memory of Prince. I was a huge fan of early Prince... the 1999 and Purple Rain albums. After that, NO. His music is what helped inspire me to learn to play keyboards when I was 14 years old. Whether you like him or not, you cannot dispute that he is was one of the greatest musicians and artists to ever live. Thanks for watching!"

Circuit Classics - Bringing Forrest Mims Vintage Designs to Life

Circuit Classics from Crowd Supply on Vimeo.

Circuit Classics is a project currently seeking funding on Crowd Supply.  The goal is to bring a number of Forrest Mims' early DIY projects to life as prefabbed circuit boards.  What's particularly interesting is that the original descriptions and illustrations will be etched onto the circuit boards.  They will also come with stands as you can see in the video above, effectively making them pieces of art in tribute to the original designs.  And of course, they will also be a great introduction to DIY.

Exquisite printed circuit boards that bring to life Forrest Mims' vintage designs from "Getting Started in Electronics.

Forrest M. Mims III is a trusted name in the electronics world for good reason: his charming and engaging texts have drawn millions of people into the world of electronics for the first time. I am bringing some of those hand-drawn circuits projects to life by creating an exquisitely designed series of finely crafted and highly detailed boards. These are the Circuit Classics. They make a great gift for a first-time learner, an expert tinkerer, or even just as a fun conversation piece for your desk.

This initial release includes three of Forrest’s circuit designs in kit form: the Dual-LED Flasher, the Stepped Tone Generator, and the Bargraph Voltage Indicator. Each kit includes:

Printed Circuit Board (PCB): Includes the circuit itself, the circuit’s schematic, and a description of the circuit, all in Forrest’s iconic hand-drawn style, traced directly from his books. (Prototypes are OSHPark purple, but the final production run will be blue.)
Through-hole Components: All the components you need to build a working circuit. Easy to place and solder on the PCB thanks to clear footprints and large, friendly solder pads.
Display Stand: made of high-quality blond ash wood, each stand is crafted to let you proudly display your work."

On the Stepped Tone Generator:

"This circuit gained a life of its own, jumping from the pages of the 555 Timer IC Circuits Engineer’s Mini-Notebook and out into the world as the storied Atari Punk Console. Well-known for enabling the creation of sounds just like classic Atari console games from the 1980s, it provides a fun audio-centric project, as well as an interesting introduction to digital circuitry, feedback, and oscillators."
