  1. Scoring Vactrols and TDA1022s. Rare and expensive semis are a pain when you need them.

      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!

  2. 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. ;-)

  3. feels under the weather today so I got a pole-mixing, icy white Shruthi-1. The VCF does Matrix12/Xpander tricks and MS-20 reso :D

      Ah yes, now I remember the concept. I'll rather have a midibox core control the ssm2044s :D

    3. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Oh, I got that too. Will build an external Strophlex box to go with my 6582 :D

      The Shruthis with 2044 will be part of the modular, like an advanced DCO.

    4. technobreath

      technobreath

      ah, yeah, you are building a modular. Hehe, I don't have time for that :P - yet :D

  4. Ordered from Reichelt, Digi-Key and Mouser. Poorer but soon mucho happier...

      Paypal is the way to go. It annoys me that there is almost nobody in norway who support it. PP is so simple, and u don't have to have ur credit card available or memorize the details! Dude, we're getting pretty lazy in this techno-era :D

      Already received the Digi-Key goods @work! That was fast. Kudos!

  5. Buying synths - uWave XT, Virus TI2 Polar and a JP-8080. Lurvin' it!

      Now at zero VA. Sold my MicroKORG for more than I paid for it! Ebay is crazy....

      me iz also sure that the classics (if you treat them well) will massively rise in price in the next 20 years or so... as everyone shifts to VSTs... there will be a "new retro wave" in 2030 or so and we will all be rich :)

    4. gslug

      ....though a JP-8080 appeals to me.

  6. Feeling like uncle McDouche - must finish the modular... It's a wiring job of epic proportions...

      Very little disruption compared to last year. Boring!

  11. Reichelt - now with Paypal. No bank transfer that can go wrong! 188€ says bye-bye. The soldering iron is about to get hotter...

      Now I can finish some moar LPC17s, the 2 SEQ4Ls, some Shruthis (with Polivoks filters - yay!) and there's trimmers for 10 PCBs.

      Don't break up the father and son slider synths! Now playing: We are family. I got all my sliders with me.

    3. Antix

      hahaha...OK but remember that "three is family" so you will need another mono synth

    4. jojjelito

      Have a couple of Xoxboxes and some Shruthi-1s and an MS-10 so I should be set :D

      don´t worry too much, at least not ´bout me - i am still rethinking the need for a frontpanel for the lite - it is very nice as is with its white pcb - just pondering on different tactile switches right nao :)

      May I am wrong...MACARRON seems maccheroni ( pasta )

      CHACARRON sounds like another familiar slang but I cant traslate it here ;-)

      The pasta part is correct. I have a good hunch about what chacarron means as well :)

  19. Cabinet and PSU done. The good ole MB-SEQv4 boots up normally once more, this time it controls a whole lot more show plus blinkenlichts. I want to do all the analog bits ASAP and make weird, wonderful noises!

      Thanks! I'll post sound as soon as I can. It might take up to a week or two depending on my work schedule :( Any video is either going to be sth shitty filmed with my jPhone4s, or with a Canon EOS-5/6x0 :D

  20. Slightly OT, but one of the DIY giants passed away much too soon. RIP Jürgen Haible. Thanks for all the sheer brilliance.

      Sorry to be the bearer of such sad news. I've been looking at the frequency shifters, wild phasers and the like for a long time. The world is poorer now.

      The Living VCOs and Vocoder will be a mighty testament to his genius.

    4. rosch

      rosch

      indeed. i've never bought boards from him as i felt the projects were still over my head. eg when i heard the phaser demo i thought it's the best sounding phaser i've ever heard.

  21. BA662 B invasion! Are they all spares for my SH-101 et al, or am I (yet again) going to transistorizzzle my world?

  22. wants to build the perfect pop band! No soldering required.

      I heard rumors that there are so called people outside that you can interact with. That's probably just a fad. Hype.

    3. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      It was a fast build, but the weekend and other after-work activities made me leave it half-fisnished until next week :( Still, it was a nice clean build. Good luck with the customs!

  25. Why is it that you always have to shop around in so many places in order to empty your Einkaufsliste?

    1. Hawkeye

      cause average aunt emma stores don´t carry ´em flux compensators, but the necessary chocolate cookies for the operator :)
