Positive Rolz do beautiful things to Denum :smiley:

Also wondering - Does anyone have experience with DUNST?
I cannot seem to find any videos on it :
I found one on Reverb today (Thank you Melody if you are in here :slight_smile: )

i am melody :slight_smile: essentially, dunst is a noise source, dust source, and vca, the vca goes in and out in parallel. it is a bit confusing to understand, in this video i am using it as a source of “noise waves” by self-patching:

you can see i patched the dust ramp into the left signal insert and took it out through the left. this takes the dust thru the vca and makes it flow in and out, the “dust basis” knob seems to increase the speed of the vca “flow”.

this manual was helpful, albeit cryptic: https://synthmall.com/ifm/ifmDUN.pdf

oh my.
And thank you kindly for the video and little explanation :smiley:
I am excited to see what I can do with it haha.

I have been wondering if anyone in here builds KOSMO?
I am taking the old EuRoolz Idea that I never finished and seeing how it fairs in KOSMO Format!

I styled the panel after Ieaskul F. Mobenthey modules to pay homage to the design.

KOSMO modules are pretty big. lol. they are 20cm tall and this one is 12.5cm wide.
They use 1/4" jacks instead of 3.5mm… its like… metric 5u… lol.

Anyway - the point of this was - since it is ciat-DIY related - whenever I make KOSMO Modules I release all of the Gerbers :smiley: -
So if anyone here has a KOSMO rack and wants a random CV source ala Arp-Serge 6-Rollz. - I should have the Gerbers up after I test the order I just placed :slight_smile:

*** not for sale!! - just stating I will provide Gerber for this DIY project :smiley:

hi people!
Just discovered this and totally new to this! but after looking around and watching demos and builds, I’m planning to start with the Lil Sidrassi, the antiamp, dogvoice. Really like the noisy sounds.
I see people are using banana jacks as outputs, I was wondering if it’s used to for the note on “wiring to brass pegs”

Lots of makers here like to use banana jacks and so does Peter, but I’m still a big fan of bare metal pegs (copper, brass, long bolts or screws) and crocodile clip wires. They’re much less expensive and allow for multiple connections at each node easily. There are stackable banana cables but again, too expensive for me.
You could even use 1/8” or 1/4” jacks and cables (not that I’ve ever seen that on a CL build). Take your pick, they all work.

ok thanks for the note. I’ll check the cost of banana jacks in my region.

I uploaded 2019’s Paskals Dream album to the Hoan Kiem Chess Team bandcamp page a few days ago. This is a free download.
The album was originally released on cassette only on Soft Error records.
Paskal’s Dream was the 4th release by Hoan Kiem Chess Team
It was made primarily using Contact Mics + Cocoquantus, with Sidrax, Tetrax and a little bit of Plumbutter. The material focuses mostly on the rhythmic, lo-fi, eclectic, experimental side with a bit of warm fuzzy stuff also :slight_smile:

so I’ve got a sprott and have really been digging it so far -

can anyone comment if the other euro IFM modules are related to the proper Ciat circuits?

AFAIK the plumbutter has a lot of pinging filters - is the sprott a similar circuit to those? and i’ve read the snare is similar to the dunst as well?

The “Noise Hiss” output on Dunst is super close to the Plumbutter snare sound.

I don’t think Sprott is similar to anything on the PB. As a VCF, the Gongue aux input is a much better behaved low-pass than the chaos of Sprott. Pinged, I think Gongues have a woodier sound (no pun intended).

Swoop and Fourses seem to be adaptations of the paper circuits of the same names. I can’t solder though, so not sure how comparable they are to their DIY counterparts.

Denum is a triangle wave VCO with sort of stereo VCA’s, so you might be able to get basic Sidrax sounds out of it with a piezo barre controller- Blasser suggests this in one of the manuals. Swoop at audio rate into a Denum/Dunst VCA would probably do a decent Tetrax impression too. However, patching something like the Sid/Tet chaos knobs might be a little difficult. I’m also not sure if the Denum’s Bounds/Bounce inputs are comparable to the Barre Organs’ glitch inputs.

Sorry to hear the problem :frowning: it’s come up in replies already and I think solder joints breaking on bananas has been an issue with CL gear but I would say that even with merger soldering skills it’s a very easy repair - I’ve done it myself for friends and I am far from incredible with an iron. You just remove the backing and check the banana jacks, I’ve even taken to using a bit of solid core wire and reenforcing connections ala random sources recommendation in their diy panels

I too have a banana on a pb2 that needs a re-flow (left avdog green, ~11months old). Haven’t taken the pb2 apart yet, is it as simple as unscrewing the 12 screws (not the deerhorn pcb screws) and lifting the top off?

yes, you need to unscrew all of them; it’s one big top.

Had a mostly finished MengQi APCS sitting in a box for more than a year; finally sorted it out last night. Can’t remember what cap or resistor values I used, but it gives some nice pops and clunks

Has anyone tried to code up something like the Karper?

The description reads as follows:

Karper is the newest idea, using 24 separate 8bit microcontrollers to do that many parallel Karpluss-Strong string synthesizers, in the tocante scale. Each string has a trigger and two sources of “the noise of computation” or the least significant, hairiest bits magnified as 1bit music (T.P.) These can be output to the trigger, or two circuit-bending nodes that change the octave and pitch degree, or simply listen to the noise of computation on a braided, inner pre-amp.

Which seems straightforward enough. I imagine having 24 separate MCUs is part of the secret sauce here, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to get some of the same kinds of sounds using vanilla code in something like Max.

It seems like there’s some random digital noise being generated, of which the least significant bit is being used as the impulse for the karpluss-strong algorithm. Not sure what a ‘least significant bit’ (LSB) would be in the context of an 8bit processor though, unless it’s something like two 4bit generators or something.

Also curious what the "circuit-bending’ nodes do more specifically. I can definitely hear an aspect of “changing notes” when poking around, but intrigued by the “noise of computation on a braided, inner pre-amp” bit.

I know it’s not Max but you can do this very easily with the Shnth

hope it’s okay to reply to such an old post. does rungling take inputs from normal rollz or will it only take the special cv nodes from the 2rollz?
