Did you make an instrument?
Post some pictures and/or sounds here!
I got excited today as I just finished making this Gieskes inspired Quad VU Percussion case/module/instrument, which made me wonder about what crazy things you guys made…
Seems like it could be an exciting thread for vthe ||||||||, no?
this is absolutely rad! love my gieskes vu-percs, only got 2 but i do have a dream of having a full row of them.
would you be able to post some recordings?
and a great idea for a thread (wish I had something to contribute, maybe it’ll be the incentive)
Beautiful @uniontownlabs !
Watching you shape that wood slab is truly precious!
In comparison to your lovely, organic, natural sensibility, my rusted metal case, housing broken pieces of electronic detritus, looks like a piece of some post-apocalyptic junk…
There are some modules from Thomas Henry: two 555 vco, one VCA-1 and the power supply.
Also there are some schmitz’s modules (http://www.schmitzbits.de/) and an arduino module developed by myself (the one in the center connected to the ps2 keyboard), hopefully I’ll be sharing the code for this module as soon as it gets to a decent status. And more modules are coming up next as there is so much space left in this eurorack style case.
Some samples (more like sound tests) can be found in my soundCloud site:
That´s the point on the unlabeled look, also it promotes unexpected results when not knowing exactly what you are connecting.
The ps2 keyboard tells the arduino CV/Gate secuencer module what secuence to play, when and how. The letters and numbers are mapped to midi notes, and the other keys have their functions as well. There is also a pot in the panel to control analog changes like playback speed, probability of played notes, and such. I will make a deeper explanation of this when I have it ready to share.
there was one short comment on one of his instagram photos saying there was a korg monotron inside the first machine here in the video where i’ve directly linked. so it makes me think there is something similar in the other units…
