You might recall the upcoming PPG w2.2x4 eurorack module from the announcment post here. That post featured a couple of renders, one in classic PPG blue and one in a limited edition black.
Here are a couple of pictures of the blue model in the flesh, in via Liquid Sky.
00:00 Introductions 03:07 taking out manual, power cord and then the SYNTH 04:25 close up in plastic 04:27 sharing the weight 04:44 UNVEILING THE OBERHEIM TEO-5 05:31 up close of KEYS and what looked like white paint but was the plastic on the keys 06:28 close up of back and the connections etc 09:50 GRACIE SNOOZING ON COUCH near the TEO-5 10:00 Explaining what happened when I initially plugged it in 11:54 FIRST EXPLORATIONS ON THIS AMAZING SYNTH "I just use the first patch and try to change it as I went along. I used the arp and tried to use sequencer but had some hicups and then just free played on the different sounds that it changed to while twisting knobs and such." 12:21 Turning on the ARPEGGIATOR and playing around with it 13:00 Let the twisting of the knobs begin
"I can't believe I actually own an oberheim and I'm so excited to have it be my first true analog Polysynth
I hope to learn everything I can about this instrument and play it and make patches it as well. I'm really happy I invested in it."
"I had the chance to mess around with this lovely little Oberheim TEO-5 and thought you guys might want to see it in action. I focused on the factory patches in this video. There are infinite ways to tailor each patch with the plethora of buttons, knobs Ect... I tried to be simple and demonstrate the basic tones. It's real easy to float off into space cadet land with this one. Haha. Let me know if you'd like more with the Overheim in the future!"

"Ilse the Eurorack synth voice in one DIY module is making warm but harsh Berlin Techno / Surgeon style stabs.
Ilse is an elegantly minimal, yet fully functional synthesizer voice in a compact 10 HP Eurorack module. The only thing you need to let it meow is a CV source to trigger its 1V/Oct frequency input (or a MIDI to CV converter and a MIDI sequencer) . Because it has a low part count it is ideal for Eurorack beginners or entry-level DIY projects.
Ilse is named after a cat, living in the legendary “Villa” in Weimar, Germany. The “Villa” was a place where a community lived and came together. Many underground concerts and parties took place here before the house got sold, renovated, and the mayor moved in. We created the graphics on the aluminum face-plate in her memory. Ilse (the synth) makes great acid sounds, so it was only logical to illustrate a cat tripping. Turn the knobs to make her look around or roll her eyes.
Ilse is designed to be affordable, easy to build, yet flexible, and feature rich. It is a synthesizer voice for your Eurorack, but can even be driven without a rack using two 9V batteries (not included).
Ilse is fully open source (KiCad schematic and layout is available in a git repository) and inspired by Syntherjack’s single-chip synthesizer Totoro. Check out his website with nice explanations, e.g. on the filter (we use the same filter on Ilse). We extended the design for external voltage control on filter, oscillators and LFO. Unlike Totoro, Ilse is designed around a unique oscillator design, which integrates the exponential conversion directly into the oscillator core. This results in an efficient circuitry saving you build time, parts and costs.
PCB and face-plate are manufactured in the EU. Kitting was done by our friends from Befaco in Barcelona. Complete assembly manual can be found in our forum.
