      But I don't know how to control it, I get tax returns, normal pay from work plus a extra pay for holliday (12% of all I earned last year), and that is similar to getting 3 month's pay at the same day :). Need to put the money where I can't see it or else the GAS will kill everyone around me :P

      hehe... never heard of The Driller Killer... But the kind of drilling rig I was refering to is this kind: http://www.jensenbeds.co.uk/media/Expression_Kontinental_UK_604.jpg

  2. Yummy! A whole rack full of goodness
  3. Still beavering away at the modular. Soon... Then it's Buchla 259 time!

      259 = great oscillator, some guys sold the module for above 4k :-O!

      uhm...Modular......sounds good

      Still got to do a modular. One day.

  4. Ouch! I need to get moar gear!
  5. I'm partly with Mr Hawkeye here. I love editing some of my complicated synths on the iPad as it still beats the menu plus real tine LCD, but sometimes I long for tactile buttons. Sometime far off in the future I'll build a controller for the FS1r with real knobs... It will be the size of Antarctica but that's life! Some concerts these days become more of glorified DJ performances. That's a bit odd, but as long as the main thing here is performance it can be good.
  6. Done! Hope you'll end up with useful data :)
  7. www.google.com.au - The big G celebrates Dr Robert Moog with a doodle!

      Fab! This is the best doodle since the Pacman one.

  9. Awesome job! No BS, just straight to the point :thumbsup:

    IBM RackX2

    Fill it with weird fun stuff :thumbsup: I always wanted an open-rack frame that goes from my hardwood floor up the ceiling (3m). Lots of blinkenlights are a plus!
  11. Soldering. It's no mere hobby, it's a way of life! Or something...

      Must go to SARC as part of the holidays this summer...

      Yes, definetly SARC for me too sometime this summer. Haha.

  12. RIP Donna Summer! Going to listen to some of the genious work you did with Moroder.

      Antix

      I think of her tracks as milestones for those who love Disco Music

    2. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      I guess they were good Disco (if there is such a thing), but I Feel Love, State of Independence (Jon&Vangelis cover) etc are good.

    Yarr! The 9090 is pure pwnage :sorcerer: You'll enjoy it when done.

    Mmm, looks likte tasty sour apple candy :thumbsup:
  15. Already made my preliminary sign-up a few posts back. However, I have some feelers with someone in Germany (not on this forum) but he might not be up for a bulk for everybody and their uncle. Have to see
  16. Got a goodie bag at my local computer store (webhallen.com). They rule! Bluetooth mouse, USB hub, some CyberClean, a frisbie and PacMan candy.

      If it's free it's for me ;) They launched a new B2B department with a fancy showroom so there was a raffle for a 60" 3D plasma and cheap prices. I grabbed Game of Thrones on BD for 30€. Mothers Day gift :)

      pacman candy !! yeah !

  18. Googling Zerg Rush while looting utsource

      hehe nice! I also got a rush :P

      mmmmmm zerg :)

      Zerg are best when BBQ-ed. Tasty critters! Meanwhile, I got my Small Bear parts. Source of Uncertainty here we come!

  19. That's a nice way of using the SIDs! No other synth sounds quite like it :thumbsup:
  20. Trippy and now featuring nice video processing. A nice way to wind down after a work week I'd rather forget :frantics: Nicely done! I like how the FS1r doesn't do typical FM-sounds.
  21. You might want to check the tread It's a giant MIDIbox based controller using the PCA9635 I2C controller which has 16 channels of PWM. Each chip can control 5 fully independent RGB LEDs. You can then group them and use external LED driver transistors if you need lots of current or don't need a gazillion fully independent LEDs.
  22. Scoring Vactrols and TDA1022s. Rare and expensive semis are a pain when you need them.

      watcha building nao? me wants a bucket brigade delay too! :)

      I'm planning ahead for panel 2 or 3 or some Buchla format cloning. Plus some Jürgen Haible chorus fx. Get the exotics first, build and win!

  23. is pondering a couple of Buchla 266 PCBs... Source of uncertainty - gotta love that name!

      Well, it's Buchla we're talking about! The PCB is 120USD, the components probably another 100USD, front panel: Priceless...

    3. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Buchla, and somewhat Serge cloning, plus Jürgen Haible projects represent the final frontier in Synth-DIY :D

      8-O ok, thanks for the quotes, sir. ;-)

  24. Caps is just short for capacitors. Some switchers are switching at a low frequency like 60kHz or even less. Sometimes even with large ripple. This is not good as noise can enter the audio band if you don't know how to decouple things. A higher frequency switcher is no problem. But, given that you might need +/-15V if you also use analog gear, and also that 15V is more common, there's always the option of using a small regulator to take 15V down to 12V. Those 12V are only used for the Aout that needs 100mA or less, The MB-SEQ uses 5V, but more current. I would assume max 500mA if you count the backlights for displays plus lots of LEDs which are PWM:ed but still... It probably needs 200mA but it's good to have some margin. I don't know how much the BLM needs, maybe someone has made some measurements? Any PSU that provides +-12V and +5V is good if you can find a nice one.
