Mobenthey/Ciat-Lonbarde (synthmall) thread

[amycatass]

Lastest idea for the layout of my dogslit build. Knobs on the sides are for volume of the speakers. May put an audio input for the speakers to override the internal signal, using another instruments to play the preamps. Top row of modules are swoops, antiswoops, randos, antirandos with rate knob and cv, and pulse in and triangle outs. The dogvoice has an added resonance cv input as well as an attenuverted fm input. What do you think?

i think it will turn out pretty spiffy
I truly need to get some tools to work with wood…
I have a super old CNC mill… but it needs a ton of work lol. and space… which i do not have lolol

[amycatass]

I don’t have a cnc machine but I have a table saw, wood Dremel, and an experienced woodworker who also happens to be my father. I’m gonna try to hand carve this baby

Edit: I might abandon the dDd surfboard shape for two reasons:

1. It will give me more space
2. Easier to cut straight with my equipment

[amycatass]

Straight cut redesign with some layout changes.

Added attenuators to the outputs of the preamps so that the response sensitivity could be “tuned,” even though that’s not really what’s happening haha.

I wonder if you could make your piezo platforms responsive to the speakers for weird feedback stuff. Maybe you could mount them on something very thin (kind of like a microphone diaphragm…not that thin, but same concept). Maybe you could have a piece that slides under them to keep them from vibrating. Just thinking out loud. Love your design mock-up drawings

[amycatass]

That’s actually the reason for the speakers placement!

The piezo bars are very close to the front panel, maybe 8mm off of it, held up by the little posts you see outlined. The speaker, when loud enough, should vibrate the case and affect the piezo bars. It won’t be super drastic I don’t think, but it will lead to some nice feedback.

Hey Y’all! First post on the Lines forum, but longtime lurker. I thought this forum might appreciate this: I write music for the animated horror Youtuber Meatcanyon, and currently one of the videos I scored is #1 trending on Youtube and was made with primarily Ciat-Lonbarde instruments. Equipment used includes the Tetrax, a Deerhorn Organ, and a Soma Lyra-8. Let me know what you guys think, and if this violates the terms in some way I appologize!

dafuq did i just watch.

[Lapis_Elle]

Yeahhh I get that a lot lol

[saxotherose]

That is so funny, my gf showed me your vids awhile back. Cant say I expected to see you talking about CL.
Edit: Misread post, thought you were meatcanyon oops

[Lapis_Elle]

Very weird! But yep, there’s a whole bunch of Ciat stuff all over Meatcanyon’s videos that I do

[amycatass]

im getting ready to orderthe components for my dogslit, but im confused as to which electrolyitc capacitors i should get… look at this:

is the voltage number just the highest it can stand? or do i need to get one that can handle a certain voltage? i just generally need help sourcing the parts lol, this is my first time buying parts outside a kit.

having trouble finding these parts (with the “?” marks) on tayda:

edit: was able to find leds, thats all

[wheelersounds]

The voltage rating is the max tolerance, often this is not even the failure point but it’s the highest recommended sustained voltage. I try to keep the tolerance 10-15% higher than my maximum expected voltage, at least.
There’s no harm at all in using a 60v cap on a 9v project. It’s just that higher-tolerance parts are generally larger, so you can save on size by going with a lower tolerance.

[amycatass]

thank you! this helps

still trying to find a 0.1uF poly cap (jelly bean)
and a TS914 chip https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/ts914.pdf

[Coitmusic]

Exactly what @wheelersounds says.

Any of those electrolytics will work. You shouldn’t need a bipolar one, though so I’d skip the first one. I’d probably go with the last one but I’m very cheap. Feel like treating yourself, get the Nichicons.
The 0.001 polys are part #a-1089.
I don’t think tayda sells the ts op amp.

This is your friend for Cap codes

Calculate 3 digit capacitor: 102

.001μF = 1nF

1nF 0.001uF 100V 5% Mylar Film Capacitors

Electrolytics are 5mm dia. 2.5mm pin spacing.

1uF 50V 105C Radial Electrolytic Capacitor 5x11mm Nichicon

TS914’s are obsolete.
These from China work fine - I have used them a couple times

wooooo thank you! couldnt do this without you guys

[crucFX]

oh and

100nF 0.1uF 100V 5% Mylar Film Capacitors

[wheelersounds]

Great! Only other thing is, depending on what purpose the capacitor serves in the circuit, the materials used can affect the timbre. On my Lil Sidrassi, for my hairy caps I used a mixture of mylar, ceramic, and polyester caps on switches for varying degrees of stability. But if you’re just filtering power rails or some other non-oscillation-related purpose, it’s likely less important what materials are used.
