I’m no expert myself, I can just report what smarter people have said and that my PB hasn’t blown itself up (yet) :slight_smile:

Same! I think good precautions have been taken on all ins/outs with the exception of those plumbutter brown jacks. I definitely have to use negative voltages to get the full range out of the Tetrax oscillators. Two of the grey inputs (one of the pitch inputs and one of the chaos inputs) on mine didn’t respond at all to any positive voltages!

I’m thinking about expanding my CL gear and interested in opinions on what the sweet spot is.

I currently use a Coco, Plumbutter 2 and Phashi. I feels like a very complete manageable creative tool but my mind wanders into what other CL instruments would add.

I’m keen to get hold of a Rolzer to expand the PB sound palette and get some of the raw Rollz sounds in there. It would be great to hear from any Rolzer users what there experience is. I had a MQ Rollz-5 for a while and it was a good gateway drug but ultimately too limiting for me—the orange jacks on the Rolzer appeal :thinking:

Anyone have an elegant solution for putting a couple CL devices on a stand of some kind - I’d like to get them off the table top in a way that’s functional and attractive? Wanna get em angled up and easily patchable. Looking at those 3D Waves stands but wondering if anyone has some suggestions or roll your own tips…

:pray:

@Weird_Ear @Scy1e had a great looking 2 tiered keyboard stand setup!

You can kinda see it here, it is in ‘studio mode’ where it supports 2 long planks that have auxiliary gear that I wouldn’t bring to a show on the ends of each plank, and my performance stuff is all affixed to a couple pedalboards in the center.

I have an unexpected extra bit of cash this month, so I’m now eyeing a Denum… should I do it? Mostly interested in chaotic synthesis/patching it with an audio rate sequential switch.

Can I route external signals through the VCAs?

#487

You can use the VCAs independently of Denum’s osc, yes. As to whether you should do it, look deep in your heart… :slight_smile:

Anyone got any tips for tuning Deerhorn? I understand that one knob is a coarse tune for both oscillators, but then the individual fine tune knobs change both oscillators in opposite directions, so it’s quite fiddly to dial in consonant pitches.

hi there,
there’s some plumbutter on this one as well as other banana synths

I got one of those LiPo car jumpstart batteries. It does 12V output and can power all my Mobenthy modules. I had this patch running for a hour and the charge indicator didn’t drop from when I turned it on. So I’m expecting infinity playing time :slight_smile:

Downside of the battery is despite also doing 5V @ 2.1 amps it can only do one output voltage type at once. So Norns runs off it’s own battery in this picture.

guess you need a “module” with LM78xx and USB port

Has anyone here built the Solar Sounders? https://econtact.ca/18_3/blasser_solarsounder.html

I’m tempted to try but probably with neither solar panel nor speaker :smiley: just probably some kind of power starve…? and jack outputs.

I built those thee a few weeks ago with the same intentions… still waiting for the NJM2073 to arrive (I ordered them from aliexpress). They should work flawlessly with a 9V battery, I’ll report back when mines are alive :slight_smile:

great, thanks :slight_smile: Ahh yeah I’ll need some of those too, i don’t think I have. Wonder if I could figure out how to replace it with an LM386

should link my Lil Sidrassi build here too: :slight_smile: //// pictures ////
