hi, just wanna share, my friend (based in Indonesia) designed a DIY 42hp (and it’s expandable) skiff using 3D printer under the name VVOLTT https://instagram.com/vvoltt.id
i made tutorial video here (with english subtitle) :
thanks
46hp 3d printed skiff, diy psu £7, uses dc wall wart, diy busboard, diy modules - all 0603 or 0402 (apart from cvpal) 3340 vcos, 3320 lpf and hpf, active lpg, 3310 dual asr, 2164 vca, 4556 headphone amp
I was watching some Erica Synths Pico System III youtube demos and really liking the sounds. Looking for a more portable setup than I currently have, which is pretty portable anyway, I realised that this, paired with the Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms Touch Controller would make a great setup:
I think using a couple of the Frap Tools PLUS 42HP modules and side panels from Endorphines would work well. A little fiddly with the Pico knobs, but workable I think.
I just snagged a Basimilus Iteritas Alter. Once that arrives, I’ll be trying this setup with it initially. It might be overkill with the SWT16+, but until I learn BIA and what I need to work it, I think it’ll provide no shortage of fun in my PulpLogic 42HP.
SWT16+ or Varigate. Both makes little sense.
Thought I had shared this, but it seems not:
Anyone in this wonderful 42/54HP discussion have experience with the Pulp Logic Express tile (http://pulplogic.com/product/express/)? It’s described as working with expression pedals. I was wondering if it would register on/off from a sustain pedal, like the Yamaha FC5. I currently have a pair of FC5s that I use with my Monome Walk. I’m pondering a small case (likely the Pulp 52) to focus on the Zoia Euroburo. Thanks.
it depends on how they’ve wired it. if it’s meant to supply +12v and GND to voltage divider via a 1/4" TRS plug, there’s a chance that using the typical 1/4" connector on a sustain pedal will short something out. Though if they’re using a jack that detects whether the connector is TRS, that might actually work… sorry for basically just providing speculation!
If I had a random 1U-sized piece of plastic around, I’d make you a sustain-to-CV tile for free; the circuit is super simple.
EDIT: There’s a slight chance that if the tile is hand-wired you (or a handy friend) could just use their panel and rewire it to serve your purpose.
Thanks very much. I shot a note to Pulp Logic. I’ll see what I hear back.
I got a helpful response from Pulp Logic. They said there’s a tile specifically for this purpose of using a sustain pedal like the Yamaha FC5:

loving my lunchbox. planning to build it out as a microsound/ granular sampling rack probably. but I could also see making a mannequins system and mounting an ansible on one of the 1u rails.
side mount Anywhere is super sick
Did you ever assemble this? Very (w)easel-y! And dare I say it, maybe even a sub $1k system
No not yet. It’s on my planned system list, just not got around to it. I think it would be a wonderful mini Easel, and depending on the case and power, could be got for under $1000
I posted my mini-case further up the thread. I’ve just uploaded all the designs to GitHub Some have been up for a bit longer, but links are posted below.
They are either cc-by-sa 4.0 or cc-by-nc-sa 4.0 as I havent decided fully what to do with them yet…
Quick question related to this thread. Is there a general 1U discussion thread here on Lines? I tried to search for “1U” but it’s too short.
Once again I am thinking about small systems. My 90hp 6U is lovely, has nice ergonomics and cohesive set of modules, but smaller, limited systems just have some kind of weird appeal. At the same time it would be feel a bit dumb to buy duplicate modules (Just Friends and Cold Mac) for another system, but I also wouldn’t want to take them out of my main rack. Crow, Just Friends, Cold Mac, Sinc Bucina and Echopon could make up a cool little experimental instrument. Or maybe something Teletype based.
I’ve been through a similar dilemma many times. I’ve personally found that a small focused rack is nice to have just to swap in whatever modules you’re trying to learn or explore the most at the time, or if you’re not sure how to fit them into the rest of your setup yet. 6u 90hp isn’t exactly a big setup either, so another smaller rack may be helpful if you have any issues of overflow from your main setup.
Which adapter are you using for Ansible? I never thought about that, but Ansible in 1U would be fantastic!
