There are PCBs out there for most of it. Maybe get a Meng Qi rollz 5 and start with that?

I’ve considered that, but I don’t really like the layout of that particular pcb aesthetically and functionally, and I want lots of cv control like on plumbutter. I do plan to buy a plumbutter in the near future, but I’m itching to diy a modular instrument from scratch.

Nice boards! Where do you have them manufactured? Eventually I’ll be ordering my own Tetrazzi but just haven’t had the time to work on it yet. If you have a spare one I’d be interested in buying it.

I used JLCPCB because they’re cheap and have fast turnaround times!
Sometimes i even end up with extras depending on how they arranged them during the manufacturing lol.
I’d happily send you one of the spare Tetrazzi’s for the cost of shipping - Those I will not “sell” as I did not do the Conversion - that was @barrford 's work :slight_smile:

Tried to write out the AVDog schematic from the Labrolz papers so that I can understand it better. How did I do? Any mistakes?
Edit: I’ve noticed the schematic only has three potentiometers, while the AVDogs on the PB2 have four? The resonance knob seems to be missing…

Thanks,
AMY

Is it possible to generate a 9v, MIDO, GND supply using just 9v batteries as a source?

KiCAD - But I also utilize a few plug-ins to create my own nets and various other tasks.
I use Inkscape for all silkscreen and graphic design :slight_smile:

Someone’s exhibiting their master’s thesis with the subject “The Sonic Creative Process Through Ciat-Lonbarde Modular Synthesizers” next week at my school – I’m very intrigued in reading it.

:open_mouth: Is there some way you can share it when they exhibit? I would be extremely interested in viewing/reading/etc. :smiley:

Once/if the thesis ends up being online, I’ll definitely post a link!

I’d be super interested too and would LOVE to talk about it on the show :grimacing:

built the paper circuits of the preamps, swoops, and randos for my custom dogslit build!
gonna use four piezos, each one hooked up to a preamp and antipreamp
four swoops, four antiswoops, one rando, antirando
1 dogvoice in the middle!

color coding:
Preamp output - orange
Anti preamp output - red
swoop, antiswoop, rando, antirando androgenous nodes - brown
dogvoice volume - green
dogvoice filter - blue
Dogvoice audio outputs are normalled to a stereo trs out, and two WHITE jacks

I am actually unsure if my understanding of the swoops and rando modules are correct… could someone school me on them? thanks!

Easy way to check would be to put one of the ICs on the print out and see if the legs line up …
