Another instalment from Forest Caver’s Analog Voice This time, it’s his take on the Wasp filter, I think partially based on Jürgen Haible’s work (please correct me if I’m wrong!). Forest’s version has LP/HP/BP and notch filters and an added distortion circuit on a switch. Forest had some of these done as PCBA and I … Read more“Bat” Wasp Filter
I built this to order, to the end user’s specification. It’s a really cute, version of Braids, from Jakplugg/Pusherman It was a quick and easy build and I installed the Renaissance firmware (which I’d recommended- it really is the best firmware for Braids IMO). Unfortunately, although I tested the unit thoroughly before sending it, it … Read moreuBraids II
For some time, I’ve lusted after the Intellijel Metropolis sequencer. It’s a really unique way to sequence and I’ve seen people get amazing results with them. But I don’t really buy modules and the Metropolis is WAY expensive! What I didn’t know was that Metropolis was based on an old sequencer for the Roland System … Read moreRYK M185
When I originally built my Typhoon, the JakPlugg panel I had was not ideal. The LED holes were only 2mm and I made a bit of a mess drilling them out for 3mm LEDs thinking I could do a better job than I actually could! Also the time/bank labels were the wrong way round! The … Read moreA New Jacket for Typhoon
I built a passive ring modulator previously using transformers and diodes and it’s nice, but the output is very quiet, so I wanted to try something active. Pusherman had a PCB/panel for the ARP Ring Mod, so I grabbed one. It was a super quick and easy build – very few components. It kinda worked… … Read moreARP Ring Mod
I’ve wanted a second clouds for a while and Typhoon seemed to be the best of the bunch, so I grabbed the boards from Pusherman. I populated the majority of the SMD parts – there’s a nice big STM32 to do and a lot of passives, but I did it over a couple sessions. I … Read moreTyphoon
PATH is a dual sequential switch which functions either as two 4:1 switches or one 8:1. I have already built an A-151 clone, but that’s always tied up switching hi-hat patterns and I fancied another for other duties, so this new offering from Antumbra came at just the right time. Pusherman very kindly sent me … Read moreAntumbra PATH
I love the Robaux stuff, so when I saw another new module was coming from them, I was very excited. The 3PT, or Tripot is a 3 channel multimode CV generator, offering sequencer, LFO, random and Euclidean modes, among others. The kit is very well documented and quick to put together. I first built the … Read moreRobaux 3PT
I’ve been putting together a little “lunchbox” case (actually an old DJ mixer flight case) and I needed a headphone amp for it. I had most of the bits needed to make one, so I started looking for schematics. I also knew that Forest Caver has designed a headphone amp, so reached out and he … Read moreHeadphone Amp
This was another PCB/panel from Forest Caver’s analogue voice range; a 3320 based low pass filter. I had to bust out the hot air station to solder the 3320 as it’s a QFN chip. That aside it was a pretty straightforward build – not too many parts. I quickly put it all together and tried … Read more“Bat” LPF
