"Comes with the latest OS (1.1.0) and a PDF version of the User Manual. Original Power Supply which has always worked perfectly."

Be sure to see The Fizmo Fix if you ever consider picking up a Fizmo. I forget if the rack version had an updated regulator. If anyone knows, feel free to comment.

555 Optical Envelope Generator with Kat

YouTube Uploaded by sonodrome on Jan 3, 2012

"Kat takes a quick look at a new circuit design. This circuit uses a single 555 timer to generate an envelope which controls the brightness of an LED. The LED is then coupled with an LDR, allowing the envelope to control the amplitude and pitch of an audio oscillator.

Here's a link to the schematic:

In this particular implementation the frequency control is quite sensitive to impedance on the audio output, to get consistent pitch modulation we recommend using a buffer on the audio output."

"Make Noise Maths module using the patch described in the manual for the bouncing ball experiment plus a little more.

The first retraction of the FOH Choices joystick sounds to me like the beginning to the Dr. Who theme, anyone else?

Having fun with the modular. :-)"
