Hi folks - well, you might have noticed that I'm sort of into electronics, and modular synths in particular. I'm selling my first one - mostly home built - in about six weeks. Here's a mockup -  The long term plan is to develop some of my own designs and start making a few in the garage in my spare time. Ie 100% home brewed custom analogue synth. Whether or not they're modular, semi-modular or normalised remains to be seen. Anyway, we'll see. I can't see this being a full time job, but why not, eh ? ------------- |

Here's most of the lower row - 32 step sequencer with switched multiples and sequential switch. Took a few weekends to build.  ------------- |

The rest of the synth contains a dual MIDI interface, triple oscillator, dual low frequency oscillator, twin envelope generator, Moog style 24dB filter, voltage controlled amp, output module and a quantiser. So it's powerful enough to turn goat pee into gasoline. Plug in a MIDI keyboard or connect it to your DAW, sonic destruction time. Compared to what I've got planned, this is pretty much "intermediate level". ------------- |

Before anyone asks the price, it's not for discussion here, this isn't a sales thread. ;-) ------------- |

If you were wondering what the inside of a sequencer looks like, wonder no further, ladies and gentlemen. Microcontroller is an Arduino Pro Mini. You flash the onboard EEPROM with code. Enjoyed building these. My soldering is coming on nicely, less so my panel wiring. I hate panel wiring.  ------------- |

"Reserved for buyer". And it's not even fully cased up yet. ;-) ------------- |

Bottom two rows of the cabinet on the right. This is just being tested - all works fine. ;-) ------------- |
