hey, apologies for maybe a dumb question and/or if this has been answered somewhere…this thread is deep like the ocean.

does anyone know what voltage range the cocoquantus 2 is looking for in terms of modulation? could one say, hit it with a batumi lfo (via a format jumbler) instead of the quantussy section?

You absolutely can. Someone on muffs had documented 1-7v on the quantussy (spelling) with the square wave outputs 0-5v.
Often times I use the quant. To modulate euro, and than euro to modulate the loopers. Makes for some really interesting occurrences.

Just re-acquired a Plumbutter two years after selling my first, and it’s…weirdly emotional. Very little affirms my musical goals, interests and joys like Peter’s instruments.

Why did you sell it the first time?

That sassafras has some sass.

Now that is a good question. Interestingly, the sale kind of coincided with joining lines and diving into the Monome universe. PB just ended up getting neglected as I was neck-deep in learning a million new things. While I still of course love Monome (I’m keeping Norns and Grid, for sure), I want to return to a less “programmatic” music-making approach, if that makes sense. Turns out that I need a level of immediacy and spontaneity (not to mention chaos) in my instruments, which Ciat-Lonbarde gives me in spades.

whelp, two years later and I might have an album coming. weeding through cassette duplication and j card art logistics rn.

So I want to use banana cables on my self-built CL instruments (no more alligator clips UGH), but I have no previous experience with installing / finding the right plugs for the case. Are these Johnson plugs the ones that would work with Pomona banana cables?

Yes. Those will work just fine.

hey! i couldn’t find a dedicated thread for these - compare and contrasts builds and maybe ofer insight to more esoteric circuits.

i’m curious if anyone in particular has tried black ground corn? it seems like a simple build but i don’t know exactly how to apply it in practice

There’s quite a lot of information in the dedicated Ciat-Lonbarde / Synthmall thread:

thank you for redirecting me, i’m embarrassed i missed this on my first pass -__-

thanks so much for the detail in your post - i’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out where to throw LED’s and outputs!!

Regarding LEDs I recommend using a LED driver cricuit as suggested by @barrford (here) and @corpusjonsey (here) in their rolls layouts.

My solution was a bit flawed, to say the least. :wink:

I was curious and was almost going to build one but then I figured out that it seems like basically just a simple oscillator intended for circuitbending random/dead electronics, (putting a signal in random places and picking it up modified from the circuits output or other points) and I figured I could just try doing that with various small oscillators and other circuits I’ve already built…?

going to give this a spin today

every time this is bumped now i’m praying for stuber news haha

yeah I haven’t even been playing with my audio stuff lately but would pick up a stuber right away if it comes out

having too much fun in video synth land but every time I think about selling the audio stuff I remember I haven’t even really tried audio into the video synth yet

i already have stuber funds set aside. just biding time haha
