Replicating a success here in the MakeFixHack Makerspace.

Years ago, I found one of these cassette caddies in a thrift market with @SepticSnake and turned it into Rad Dog, the signal-generating heart of my #modularsynth rig.

My gear all daisy chains from a modded computer power supply, so I’m putting in a compatible power bus before cutting out panels to put end-of-chain elements — a mixer, a Data oscilloscope, and probably a granular Clouds clone.

@exquisitecorp
Thank you! The space efficiency requirement is a good creative constraint. The one on the left there is supposed to be playable as an instrument, but it lacks effects (and has lots of screechy failure modes), so I usually run it through my Voice Nodulator, which is a live grain looper with a filter I designed.

But the second case there is probably going to be all the end of the chain, so a scope, mixer, and effects.

@exquisitecorp Oh, also, you and @SepticSnake should follow each other. More overlapping interests.
