AT-AT-AT – Triple Attenuator Eurorack Kit From Thonk for Beginning DIY

If you are curious about giving DIY a go, Thonk has a DIY kit perfect for beginners, the AT-AT-AT – Triple Attenuator Eurorack Kit.

"The perfect introduction to modular synth DIY

A kit for a Eurorack passive triple attenuator module (4hp).
A very simple and very useful Eurorack DIY kit. Below you’ll find links to very thorough build instructions written with synth DIY beginners in mind. This module requires no power from your busboard or prior electronic knowledge, it’s completely passive.

Each of the three attenuverters can be set to either a linear or logarithmic response with a jumper on the back of the PCB. Linear is more user friendly for CV attenuation, Log for audio signal attenuation.

Build time: 20-60 mins depending on experience.

Everything is included to make and rack the pictured module, even the solder. You just need a soldering iron and a pair of side cutters to finish the build.

Panel – 4hp – Anodised Aluminium with industrial Alu-Print legend
Knobs – Davies 1900h clones
Alpha 9mm pots
Thonkiconn jacks
Solder (a generous amounts for beginners)"

Yamaha CS80 - Chaos

Published on Jun 10, 2016 mik300z

"I was very lucky recently to play around with this at a studio for a few hours (thankyou studio people) I took home what I recorded and layered in some strings, Rhodes piano and even more brass sounds from my ESQ1. Video is confusing at times, but it was like working backwards..no timeclock etc..hence the title! Also allowed me to fill in parts where I was tweaking or adjusting the sound of the CS80. It was an honour to be able to play it, it truly is a beautiful and expressive instrument."

"Headphones recommended.

Roland JD-XA improvisation using a single program, no external samples, fx or multitrack.

Thanks to the hybrid engine, the bass sound and all the weather fx have been recreated using the analog parts (pink noise, S&H and filters).

Piano and pads are played using the digital parts. No external effects added. Recorded straight to the audio interface."

The avalon bassline is a high quality analog bassline synthesizer and sequencer. The core circuitry of the avalon is based on the revered Roland TB-303 bassline synthesizer, to which a new layer of analog and digital circuitry has been added to position the avalon as the premier bassline synthesizer.

• Core analog and digital circuitry based on TB-303
Incorporates layout and parts from the original bassline, including carbon film resistors, united chemi-con electrolytic capacitors, poly foil film capacitors, original IC's, and sanyo/on semi & mitsubishi transistors.

• Synth Cartridge System™
Compatible with the cartridge system in the form of filter plugin carts.

• Extensive Analog Control
In addition to the six analog controls of the original bassline, the avalon includes controls for sub osc/ext input level, filter tracking, accent decay time, vca decay (normal to full off), utility envelope attack & decay time, utility envelope to vfc and vca modulation depths, frequency response select (normal and full range.

• Extensive Digital Control
In addition to backwards compatibility with the TB-303 pattern write pitch & time modes the avalon incorporates new progamming modes making extensive use of (16) step LED switches. Patterns can be up to 64 steps in length (up to 4 sections x 16 steps) and each pattern can have numerous scales including triplet modes. Real-time editing includes slide time select, utility envelope trigger mode, pattern step skipping, pattern reverse, rotate, random, & shuffle. There is also an arpeggiator that can be performed real-time or recorded directly into a pattern.

• MIDI & DIN Sync
Sync source can be selected as internal, MIDI, or Din Sync, and the avalon sends both MIDI & Din Sync.

• Audio inputs & Outputs
Includes main & headphone outputs, saw and square outputs (+/-5V), external input, and filter and vca outputs.

• CV Inputs & Outputs
Includes cv & gate input and output, filter cv Input, & accent sweep output."
