Tod Kurt (todbot)<p>Working on another <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/synthDIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>synthDIY</span></a> idea. Sort of a scaling up of my “pico_test_synth”. Code first in CircuitPython then maybe Mozzi Arduino</p>
craque is icumen in 🏳️‍🌈<p>I previously wired up the remainder of the dronebox (part of the internals seen here) but hit some complexities: 1. The sustain / compression pedal (top) has a very high gain and there is some resonant feedback in this box already, it might be too much and unnecessary, 2. The broken delay (bottom) I hoped only needed new pots remains broken.</p><p>Soooo I am doing some light troubleshooting today and figuring out where to go next. If I cannot figure out the delay (which i bought modded), it might be a dud. The sustain I may replace with something else entirely, too.</p><p>Bypass switches are not included right now, because of the internal modular design. But I am beginning to see situations I would appreciate having a bypass. So thinking how that can be implemented.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/SynthDIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SynthDIY</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a></p>

craque is icumen in 🏳️‍🌈<p>Newly rearranged modules for a sequencer + synth voice thing. Nothing new here, just cleared out space in this rack case for another row and built it with modules I own.</p><p>And in case you're wondering, yes I did this for the track I'm working on. :)</p><p>This is why I love modular fundamentals and synthdiy - need an instrument?

pedro 🍉<p>We're getting there. The encoder still jumps back and forth occasionally, and one of tne of the buttons seems to work only 50% of the time.

Joshua A.C. Newman<p>I already had to solder in two jumpers to power the multiplexer.
