Ult-Sound DS-4M - Quick Demo 02 | Low-Gain Plays

VCO2 - First Sounds | Low-Gain Electronics - 4U Modular Serge

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Prototype type boards came in and I couldn’t resist building one up at the end of the day. A board rev needs to be made. I completely forgot to condition the newly added Saw and Double Saw (DUO) outputs so they are 0-5V and not +/-5V. But you can get some really fun wave shapes including square when you mix them in an external processor (a crossfader would be a fun pairing for sure! Also need to tweak the FM input. It’s a little weak."

Buchla Music Easel - Low-Gain | Repair testing

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Took far too long to get all the parts required to fix my Easel, and only and glue to actually fix it. I can finally take it home! One of the preset controls on the 218R is messed up but I’ll fix that later. Time to have some fun!"

Dual Audio Mixer - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular - Serge Modular

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Dual Audio Mixer pcb is a go! Just need panels to arrive!
In this patch I’m just mixing 4 negative slews, and one ‘73 vcf in vco mode.. totaling a 6 voice drone. Because the mix bus is passive (buffered output of course) the signals fight against each other creating some really rich timbres!"

Playing around with sequencing the Orgone Accumulator module (Bugbrand format) and Tresses (Bugbrand format Mutable Instruments Braids). Modules built by @batchas.

Orgone Accumulator in Drum mode
Tresses in HARM mode

Korg SQ-1 sequencing.

Delay and Reverb effects from the 1010 Bluebox.

@LowGainElectronics format jumbler to get everything hooked together."

‘73 Filter gets a massive upgrade - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Well I finally fixed my only complaint about the 73 filter… at high resonance settings it falls apart and clips to the rails. No clean sine wave when patched to oscillate…

Well that’s all fixed now… :-D and now I absolutely love this filter even more than before!!"

Lunchbox Voice Prototype gets patched ! - Low-Gain Electronics | 4U Modular

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Had a shop visit from the talented @helenastndc all the way from Spain/Sweden yesterday! We had a great discussion about synthesizers, design/diy and education. She got a little time to patch on the lunchbox voice system prototype on my test bench. We didn’t get a chance to get a proper recording of it but I fired it up where she left it and grabbed this recording of it this morning. Just turned a couple of knobs during the recording to see what sonic journey it would take! Hope you enjoy! Headphones recommend for full fidelity!"
