Studio/Lab Update - Ushering in a New Era with In-House Production Automation

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2024

Really excited to share this big change in the way I'm producing Eurorack modules. Last week I took delivery of a desktop SMT Pick-and-Place machine. It's an assembly robot that will help me greatly, in lieu of stuffing hundreds of boards a year all by hand using tweezers. Having spent almost a week getting up to speed I'm happy to share my thoughts about my foray with in-house production automation.

Full disclosure | This video was not sponsored by any equipment manufacturers. This machine was bought and paid for out-of-pocket for business use. All observations and opinions are my own.

Check my sweet Reverb store for module availability.

What Do Weeds Sound Like? | Bioelectric Skiff Project

video upload by Musical Miscellany

"At this time of year in Texas, the grass is still dormant but the weeds are not. I thought it might be kind of fun to see if the weeds had anything to "say". This lightweight battery-operated Eurorack skiff was handy to accomplish the task. I even threw in a kalimba for good measure."

3/11/24 (slower range) ElectroComp EML 200 + Lexicon PCM 70 (1.3 Circular Dlys)

video upload by Cfpp0

"Same patch as in the previous 3/11/24 EML 200 video, but with a lower range setting on the master oscillator:

The ElectroComp EML 200 master oscillator square wave drives the whole wave shaper section and the switch. Sampler is fed one output of VCO 1. VCO 1 and VCO 2 outputs go to the ring modulator. VCO 2 also goes to VCO 1 CV input. Sampler outputs go to VCO 1 and VCO 2 CV inputs. Wave shaper is set to amplitude, with the ring mod output going to carrier in, and modulation input is first getting a sine wave from the master oscillator (until 0:45), then only the switch output is audible until (at 0:53) I change it to the envelope. The ring mod output also goes to the spring reverb, 100% wet, which goes to the switch. The switch output is dry, but a stereo delay from the Lexicon PCM 70 is applied to the output of the wave shaper, which runs through mixer No. 1 on the 200."
