No sooner than it’s built, I’ve filled it! I’m going to play with this system for while now, make some music, see how it goes. I’ve put the G6 in a rack case now as well.

This was a bit of a punt. I had all the parts in my spares box and the PCB/panel were dirt cheap as the panel was printed upside down and the guy threw in the noise chip for free. It turned out the pots I had were the wrong ones, this PCB is using some … Read moreReckless Clap/Snare

How naive of me, in retrospect. Anyway, I’ve been looking into it all a bit more and realised that actually, … Read moreAntumbra ATOM

While I’ve been enjoying my dual LFO module, I really need something I can clock, for tempo-synced modulations. Again, this is something Maths or Disting can help with, but again, I’d like a dedicated module for the task. Thankfully my old friends Frequency Central can help, with the Wave Runner LFO. It uses a PIC … Read moreFrequency Central Wave Runner LFO
