This time my #soldering was a fail. This is supposed to be a #keyboard controller for playing my #StackSynth but the sample and hold part needs rework. The output voltage keeps rising. At first I noticed that I used a ceramic #capacitor where I should've used a polymer one, but this bodge didn't help. Maybe the #TL074 are out of spec (most likely fake ones but worked fine in the other modules) or the FETs are bad...
The keys will be attached using a stereo 3.5mm audio jack, and will be extendable like my perfboard version.

And here it is. The boards arrived today from @aislerhq so I had to solder it immediately and it sounds nice. Even my wife commented, that my annoying experiments start sounding acceptable.

No Eurorack? No problem. The Grandmother's semi-modular grid is deep. Here's how I stretched it today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNXcEaKI7dw

Bueno, no incendié la casa haciendo la fuente de poder de doble riel para Eurorack. Ahora solo hay que llevar la corriente a los módulos.

No tengo cables apropiados ni conectores estándar, así que he de ser muy ingenioso y cauto.

I'm planning another module for my #StackSynth - a #VCF based on the #LM13700 and the Skull & Circuits VCF-3: https://www.skullandcircuits.com/vcf-3/
I already designed the #PCB in #KiCad but wanted to test it on a solderless #breadboard first. It works fine, so I ordered the PCBs.

I could source the right tempco resistors and add high pitch correction to both VCO’s. Now they stay in tune quite well! My #diysynth is now quite a treat to use. With a decent arpeggiator (I use the CV output of the Microfreak) and an effect, the results are interesting and musical. #Synth #Electronics
One of the final modules for my #StackSynth project: the #noise generator. It outputs white, blue, and pink noise and uses a #3904 and a #TL074 with a lot of resistors and a couple of capacitors.
It is based on Moritz Klein's video: https://youtu.be/0yB_h_wFkh4
I prototyped it on solderless #breadboard and then designed the #PCB in @kicad and let @aislerhq manufacture them again. It turned out quite nice and sounds great.

Next concert will be the closing (play) party at Eurix (iksk) 19th April with me an @lunario as Chiseling Clouds. 4 to 5h of drone and psychedelic electrónica.

For the pleasure of your ears, or as sonic support for non auditory pleasures.

This year a hard one on getting booked etc.

If you know gigs, send them my way.

And here is the #StackSynth power supply board done. It provides dual rail +/- 12 Volt from 12 Volt AC. Stable for at least 300 mA. The diodes D1 and D2 get a bit warm, though. I'll have to see how it performs with my modules attached.
Again, boards were manufactured by @aislerhq and arrived together with the VCA.
My StackSynth tower is almost finished so far. There will be a Noise module coming and maybe I'll add another LFO.
