Kit Overview # 39 - Roman Sowa´s Pierdzidelko

Published on May 1, 2019 Synth Diy Guy

"A demo of Roman Sowa´s cool new noise maker kit, the Pierdzidelko!
Build video coming soon!"

via Sowa

"DIY kit is what kids today love the most, so here it is, first kit from MIDI-hardware!
It's rather complex build consisting of roughly 150 parts, so prepare for 2 hours of soldering. And hopefully you will enjoy playing it just as much as assembling it. This is four-oscillator cross-modulation drone sound generator, that can also play nice and polite sounds, even controled via external Hz/V signal. But that's not why it was made for. There are 4 identical VCOs, each producing 3 waveforms that can be separately mixed to audio output and to modulation matrix. Each VCO can frequency modulate all other 3 VCOs, so you can expect wild and crazy sounds coming out of it."

This is how it looks like assembled

"The unit has one connection plug - Soviet 5DIN. It's used as an addition to FORMANTA UDS drum sets. MINT condition, comes in original packing with shoulder stripe and connection cable.
It has 7 buttons on the front side and 2 on the back. According to manual while tapping the "SPHERIC THING" the unit sends trigger commands to the control module. Probably it can trigger any drum machine or kinda.

The unit has a velocity-sensitive piezo trigger pad under sphere and nine red knobs:
seven on the front for choosing which drum sound you wanted to trigger from the synth and two back knobs for switching "preset" or "synth" sound mode on the synthesizer."

"The RF Nomad brings sideband shortwave radio into Eurorack! This module is a great noise source and strange audio generator. There are tends to be dead spots but once you find something it is almost always interesting and can reach really far! This module is in great shape with just some rack rash and includes a short antenna. It is advised to find the longest antenna possible for the best results!"

"The Wogglebug is a source for all sorts of randomness. It has several voltage outputs that can be influenced by other CV signals, 3 audio outputs of chaotic noises, a clock generator, and random pulse output. It works great as a hub for CVs and gates. This module is in good working condition with very little rack rash."

ADDAC System Intuitive Quantizer

"The Intuitive Quantizer is perhaps the most powerful quantizer module in Eurorack. With four independent inputs and outputs for melodies there is plenty of pitch locking for your voices. The intuitive name comes from the ease of programming as you are supplied with a keyboard represented in push buttons on the panel. Each channel has a trigger in and out and presets can be saved for your favorite scales! This module is in great shape with little to no rack rash."

Make Noise Rene 2 Sequencer

"The Rene 2 is the successor to the popular original Rene Cartesian sequencer. This design expansion includes the two original X and Y gate inputs but with a 16 step linear channel connected to each. The C output acts as the original Rene did, deriving its movement from both the X and Y channel's clocks. Of course there is much more under the hood including pitch quantization, gate programming, access programming, and state saving and recall! This module is in great shape with no rack rash."
