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."
