Music Thing Modular - Start Up

Published on Nov 11, 2019 Synth Diy Guy

"Today we start a series on easy beginner modules!
This one is the Startup from Music Thing Modular, a cool first module that is a stereo mixer, a headphone amp and a clock generator with tap tempo and a divider/multiplier.
And you only need to solder the panel components.

Why is STARTUP your first Eurorack module?

Published on May 16, 2019 Thonk Synth DIY

"Why is STARTUP your first Eurorack module? Because it has all those essentials you need to get up and running with a small modular. It syncs to your other gear, mixes the audio of both regular studio gear and modular gear at the same levels and provides a high quality line
or headphone output with lots of gain.

Build a STARTUP with designer Tom Whitwell at our workshop in Brighton on Saturday May 25th 2019 - https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/startup-...

Best first Eurorack module? Start Up from Music Thing Modular // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 16, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Is this a module we all need? There's certainly a strong argument for it with tap tempo clocks, stereo mixing and headphone/line out. It certainly meets the desire of Music Thing Modular as a module that would be a great first module for small systems. The new clock phasing modes add a nice Steve Reich flare and influence and in 4hp it's a module that's hard to ignore for small or large systems I think. Super useful!

Superbooth 2019: Music Thing Modular Startup

Published on May 11, 2019 sonicstate

"If you're ever wondering where to start in eurorack then the Music Thing Modular Startup is probably a good place to start. It gives you a bunch of simple utility functions to help with when you're just starting in the modular world, including tap tempo clock with a multi-function secondary clock, a simple mixer and heaphone outputs."

Music Thing Modular – STARTUP - Workshop with Tom Whitwell in Brighton May 25th

via Thonk

"Startup is designed to be the best way to start a small Eurorack case, featuring a Mixer, Clock & Headphone Amp.

This is a really easy project for DIY newcomers, all the SMD components come pre-soldered and the PCB is programmed and testing prior to shipping. You just need to solder the buttons, jacks and pot.

BHOREAL Open Source RGB Grid Controller

We are Bhoreal from MID Studio on Vimeo.

This project is seeking funding at http://goteo.org/project/bhoreal/

"BHOREAL is an open source control interface for multimedia applications intended for DJs, VJs, musicians, hackers and DIY creators.

Crowdfunding campaign on Goteo:

"Do you want to make your own control interface?

And do you want to control all the software and hardware you use for your multimedia projects with it?

In addition.... Do you want it to have an attractive, flexible and open source design?

Stop beating around the bush! The thing you want is BHOREAL.

BHOREAL is an Open Source interface based on the Arduino platform that allows to control all types of software and hardware using a surface with RGB LED-backlit pushbuttons.

You can use it as OSC/MIDI device to trigger samples live, as sequencer, synthesizer, rhythmbox, pitch map generator or remote control. It can also work in standalone mode as algorithmic and generative driver, mathematical simulator, game interface, low resolution LED display or any other kind of application you can imagine.

Thanks to its versatility, BHOREAL is a fundamental tool for DJs, VJs, musicians, artists, hackers and all kinds of creative DIY people willing to explore a piece of hardware which is infinitely reconfigurable and reprogrammable.

The BHOREAL controller allows to overcome the constraints imposed by conventional device manufacturers. Its Open Source essence makes it possible to modify and adapt the tool freely.

For the last few years, MID´s team has been working on this interface in order to maximize its flexibility and provide adaptable configurations for each user needs. On the basis of these premises BHOREAL is available in four different models: two DIY self-assembly kits and two “ready-to-use” preassembled units .

Both hardware and firmware are completely Open Source and are released under Creative Commons licenses. BHOREAL is Windows/Mac OS/Linux compatible.

MIDI retrofit for CR-78 Part 1

YouTube via MusicMiK

"This is the documentation of retrofitting MIDI into a Roland CR-78 using my MIDItriggs project. The first 4 parts include the mechanical work, modifications to the CR-78 and installation of the board in a good detail level.

Next year (read as tomorrow or so :), i will add the hardware driver for the planned CR-78 features to the firmware and create a last video showing the features of this retrofit. With the last video, the project will be available again on my website, being completely open source, including schematics, documentation and board layout, so you can make your own kit.

One more thing to say - i had some bad experience because there are people in the world interpreting „open source as „he does your custom development for free. This is not the case. I dont sell kits, i dont adapt MIDItriggs for your beatbox and in general i stopped answering questions about all my DIY stuff, as this eats up so much time that i no longer have time for the DIY hobby.

So if you contact me, dont be angry if you dont get any response. I just dont have the time and motivation to work for others, i want to make my own DIY ideas come true, not yours.

If i get another beatbox (i dont have a CR-78, its from a friend, i just have the Hohner Automatic Rhythm Player, which was the start of the MIDItriggs project), i will add it to MIDItriggs. But i still will not make and sell kits. This is your job - using the material you soon can find on my website again.

I wish you all a good start into 2010, happy new year!"
