I would absolutely buy one. It would be amazing to have one where you could switch the tubing fork for different pitches :slight_smile:

You can with this one! It’s just one bolt holding it in place. I’ll be doing a similar limited run with different design features soon.

Hmm could I hook up a tuning fork to the Ears module, and end up in a similar place? I’d never though about something like that, but would be really cool. Even useful just for the utility of tuning oscillators, never mind all the musical applications :slight_smile:

@Simeon - what’s Talos? Sounds mysterious. :thinking:

Spent the evening a local co-op called Hackspace prototyping the front panel on their swanky laser cutter.

(final version will not be transparent)

Though, the illustration on the old panel was pretty rad.

This new panel is for the Talos.

You won’t be disappointed in the new panel for the Jackalope either!

I’m intrigued by this panel design. I’m going to speculate that there will be some sort of mechanical element to Talos - a cog that fires off three gates each time you rotate it?

Nothing so complicated. Hopefully something a little more creative.

Last 24hrs of preorders. If you want a Jackalope this year you need to preorder before tomorrow evening, as I’ll be ordering all the parts on Monday.

Simeon,

is it possible to know the part ( and supplier) for the round bracket you are using to hold the tuning fork- is it something you have customised to fix to the plate. ( drilled and tapped?) It’s for an instrument I’m building/refining- not a Eurorackthing at all…

thanks

Hey @Zedkah, happy to share!

It’s a standard mechanical part called a “Shaft Collar” (in the UK, it may have a different name in the US). They usually come with a grub for fixing to a bar, which I swap out for a standard bolt.

The ones I use are 10mm wide, with a 10mm internal diameter, a 20mm external diameter with an M5 bolt hole. Most importantly they’re stainless steel - I tried a couple of options and this seemed to be the best for acoustic transfer, significantly more expensive than acrylic or non-stainless steel though. I think due to finish / materials / quality I ended up paying nearly 2 quid each one, as bulk prices didn’t really make a difference until you needed over 100 of the buggers (Which I didn’t need. I mean the modules sold well, but not THAT well).

I presume someone must also make these in brass, but I wanted the whole module to be silver.
