DIY Eurorack Synth Module Kit ‘The Easiest On The Market’
One characteristic that draws people to synthesizer technology is the ability to hack pieces together, and tweak things the way you like. Traditional DJs and controllerists engage in the same type of behavior, modifying their mixers and controllers to do things they wouldn’t originally possible. The synthesizer heads take it even further; they can completely build their own instruments from scratch – and you can’t say the same thing about a mixer. Synth companies have taken notice to this trend, and have even begun offering build-your-own kits instead of a constructed object. It saves money on both ends, but if gives you the chance to create something of your own. Thonk as introduced their AT-AT-AT Triple Attenuator Eurorack kit, to create an attenuator module. Build time is slim, and they say it will take at least 20 minutes, but less than an hour to build. The kit even comes with basics such as wiring, and soldier – but you will need your own soldiering iron. Although it shouldn’t be undertaken if you’ve never soldered before, a higlh of level of soldering skills should not be an issue. Parts in the kit include a panel, knobs, linear pots, 3.5 mm jacks, and M3 Eurorack screws. The kit also comes with detailed pictures and instructions. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/10/20/diy-eurorack-synth-module-kit-the-easiest-on-the-market

Weinglas ZIMM03 VS. The Buchla 259e
Experimental analog modular synth composer Weinglas uploaded a video of him experimenting with the Zerosum Inertia Module Module 03.
Here's a littler bit of info about the tube driven monster:
The ModuleModule #3 built by Zerosum Inertia takes 2 audio signals and processes each through a separate grid on 1 single 5725 dual-control pentode.
Each input has a different sound due to the different grid for each input. When both inputs are used the two signals become one and create a unique overdriven combination different than that of a conventional mixer or signal combiner.
The result of using both grids results in multiplication.
For a dizzying effect, feed 2 detuned oscillators beating against each other into the ZIMM03 and observe the summed effect.
A single VTL5C3 vactrol provides CV for the amount of processing.
The slew of the vactrol controlled gain creates a unique VCA type effect different than that of a traditional solid state VCA.
Experiment with sending pulses into the CV input and leave the AD generators free for other duties.
To the left is an independant 1 in 2 out multiple. Experiment with splitting 1 signal source, then processing the 2 outputs through inputs 1 and 2 of the ZIMM03. Or experiment with creating feedback. A mult is a mult.
The 1/4" jack on the top mirrors the Tini-Jax output. Try feeding the 1/4" output to an effects processor and the Tini-Jax to other modules.
Or use the the 1/4" output to feed your mixer without having to convert a Tini-Jax to 1/4".

Metasonix R-54: Modulated Yellow Entity Patch
I'm been back in the studio working on vol. 2 of the Metasonix Sketchbook. I started working on a patch this morning and thought I would share a patch recipe for my fellow synth nerds out there. All the initiated synth cult members are well aware that the Metasonix R-54 Supermodule has many spirits trapped in it's tubes similar to the Ecto-Containment Unit seen in Ghostbusters. With proper patching you can get these entities to make there presence felt through your speakers.

New Pittsburgh Modular Filter
Price: $199
The Filter is a voltage controlled, analog, state variable filter designed by Pittsburgh native and electronics experimenter Michael Johnsen. The state variable topology was chosen because it allowed us to produce a very smooth and natural sounding filter, in addition to offering several other modes of operation, each with a unique sound and energy all their own. There Is No Sweet Spot This Filter defines the sound of Pittsburgh Modular. It offers a warm, organic sweep through the full frequency range. The lowpass filter is gummy and relaxed while the highpass is clean and defined. The goal was to produce a filter that did not have a sweet spot; where the every turn of the frequency knob produced something interesting. Modes of Sound Multiple filter responses are available simultaneously including lowpass, highpass, and bandpass. The fourth filter response is a variable response that shifts between lowpass, notch, and highpass. Switch It Up Two switches, Gain and Mode, further expand the capabilities of the Filter. The Gain switch modifies the functionality of the Q while the Mode switch toggles between filter and oscillator modes. Setting the Gain switch to "1" converts the Q setting into a VCA circuit for the audio input. Switching the Gain switch to "Q" returns the standard filter Q response. Mode switches between Filter and Oscillator modes. Set to "Filter", the Pittsburgh Modular Filter will not self oscillate. Set to "Oscillator" the Filter produces a high quality voltage controlled sine wave. Adjusting the Q while in Oscillator mode modifies the shape of the waveform. At more extreme settings the Q adds anything from warm fuzz to heavy distortion the incoming audio. Controls (Top to Bottom) Q Pot: Adjusts the resonance (Q) of the filter. FREQ Pot: Adjusts the Frequency of the filter. L-H Pot: Sweeps between lowpass, notch, and highpass filters. QCV Pot and Jack: Resonance (Q) control voltage input and attenuverter. FCV Pot and Jack: Frequency control voltage input and attenuverter. 1-Q Switch: Switch between Gain to 1 (VCA Mode) and Gain of Q (Standard Mode) F-O Switch: Switch between Filter and Oscillator Modes LOW Jack: Lowpass Output L-H Jack: Output based off of the L-H Pot HI Jack: Highpass Output
Euclidean Sequencer
This is a prototype Euclidean Sequencer by Tombola, based on Godfried Toussaint's paper "The Euclidean Algorithm Generates Traditional Musical Rhythms" http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf
It's based on an Arduino that listens for pulses, then generates three channels of output pulses based on the n and k values chosen.
