Solder Fume Extractor
1. Don’t inhale. 2. Always wash your hands after touching the solder, even if you’re going back to soldering in a second(just going to the toilet, getting coffee or whatever). 3. Wear a condom at all times and: 4. Don’t forget to wrap it up ;)

Adding a 49 keyboards directly to the Shruthi (no midi) by chaining 74LS165 ?
But why would you constantly change the midi channel used by the keyboard attached to the shruthi? It doesn’t make any sense to me.. Why not set the keyboard+shruthi to something like channel 15, and leave it there?

Or upload it to soundcloud.com, then paste the soundcloud url like this : “ www.soundcloud.com/yoursound” :www.soundcloud.com/yoursound ? :)

Filter board recommendation
Should work perfectly fine at 7.5v, the dropout of the Lm regulators is 1.somthing volts :)

Audio and midi interface recommendations
I’d reccomend aginst the PC(USB) to MIDI cables, they’re very often flaky, and don’t work that well, which is difficult to troubleshoot.. Since you’re on a laptop a Midibox GM5x5x5 interface for midi isn’t really an option.. As for audio interfac…

Probably a short somewhere, try uploading good quality photo’s of both sides of the boards :)

Where to buy Modular Synth PCBs?
I really liked the klee kit, almost bought one, but ended up not doing it, since customs, shipping etc would be VERY prohibitively expensive :(

Self oscillation (noob question) [solved]
I believe that you can adjust the self oscillation point of the filter by a trimmer, it should be described in the builders manual :)

Tiny high quality multichannel audio interface; any suggestions?
Well, if it’s anything like my ESI ESP1010e, then it will be a decent interface, with some noise if you turn the volume up (which you won’t of course).. All in all a good interface for what I paid for it, although it lacks optical, and uses a PCIe …

That depends on which options you select, a lot of the preselected options are entirely unnecessary.. I wouldn’t buy a fireball per se, I’d much rather build my own, but again, different folks & all that.. :)

Okay, a bit unfair, but I think my point still stands : You could build something not unlike this, with known tolerances, known power, and not made of some unknown plastic (there’s a big difference between them), for the same/not much more money, w…

1400$ for a couple of pieces of plastic? Really? Yes, there’s the design, and the sourcing of materials etc, but there are many much sturdier options available in that price range :/

Coming soon from Mutable Instruments... Euro modules
Shipping the PCBs from ‘murrican DIYers sucks a lot as well – Really glad that we have a lot of the Eurorack scene here in Europe :)

My biggest problem with Escape from Noise is that their website is slow and clunky as hell :/ +That I always forget that they are located in Sweden :D

Still haven’t finished my polivoks Shruthi.. Well, haven’t started yet, so ehh.. Another one of those many projects beginning to pile on – I will get it done eventually.. I hope.. I’ll provide an example later today :)

Well, found some 1000uf to put in series with the 10000uf ones for a comfortable 900 something uf while I wait for more sensible caps to arrive.. Meh, lesson learnt : order caps with everything else, or you might have to cannibalize old projects to…

Time/capacity+willingness to spend money(-money/time)^2=EMC^2 ..No wait, that’s not right.. How’d you guess that I’ve got my hand on that lovely piece of soviet engineering?

Shhh… I have modules here that have waited years for me to finally become stupid enough to invest in eurocrack.. I don’t even have any third capacitor that I could add to the mix, and no electronics shop anywhere even remotely close by.. +4400 is…

Yeah I know.. But I’m a sucker for imagining bad things, at least when big capacitors are involved.. Demons and all that.. :/ A 22v ripple would destroy the smallest of the caps (chinese tolerances and all), thereby unleashing the full 10k fury of…

I thought they would be fun to order some time back.. Was frightened when I received them, and put them in a drawer.. Big capacitors do sort of intimidate me, even though I’ve never blown one up.. (Now LM7805’s, that’s an entirely different story..…

Hmm, an interesting problem indeed.. I think I have a couple of 1W resistors somewhere, but doubt it would look good with 100 1W resistors stuck randomly around the PSU (Note to self, just because you have far too large caps available as the only o…

Would someone mind doing a quick sanity check on my wiring here ? It’s been a bit of a long day, and before i start blowing 10 000 uF capacitors up, I’d like to get someone else’s opinion.. :/

Where to look for second hand gear?
@rumpelfilter That looks really cool, but close to useless for anyone over the pond – I use the UK or german ebay, since I can set those to “European union only”, thereby neatly avoiding sellers outside of EU, and as a result I won’t have to pay …
