Shruthi Power Switch?
@piscione: No, that goes against the grain

Audio and midi interface recommendations
There’s no benefit in practical terms that I can see – low latency performance is as dependent on the drivers as it is on the interface itself nowadays. Martin

Shruthi-1 SDE (Sound Designer Edition) Filter ****new FEEDBACK/CIRCUIT BENDING feature just added :)
Yep, could be – they LOOK like DPDT, with exactly the same number and arrangement of contacts. Actually I’ve already posted a link to a suitable one at Farnell above that’s labelled DPDT – here it is again It’s a MULTICOMP 2MD6T1B5M2RE. I’ve ju…

Oh, and if anyone is about to place a component order, apart from a few common resistors the various new mods/revisions will also require the following: 2x 1uF film capacitor 2x BAT85 Schottky diode (very low turn-on voltage – I measured it …

I’m still finalising component values, but the switch will definitely be a miniature toggle DP3T On-On-On type I’m using this MTS-2033 from Doctor Tweek, but similar devices are available from various other suppliers such as CPC Farnell By t…

SN76477 Something fun to play with?
It was also used in the original Space Invaders arcade machine – how much more mind-blowing can you get than that? Martin

XProtoLab Portable Oscilloscope
Ah, perhaps what you wanted was a power supply with built-in CURRENT LIMITING. In essence you set this value to the maximum current you think your experimental circuit will require, and then if there’s a fault/short circuit ti won’t get fried. …

Clarke - Gore techno
It may be old news to some, but many thanks to Fitvideo for posting the link – I hadn’t come across this collaboration before, and LOVED this track (reminiscent of Orbital to my ears) Martin

Hi again folks! Sorry again for the delay – I’ve been tied up with Tech Support duties over the weekend for a ‘well-known developer of softsynths’ OK – it seems to be the front panel controls that everyone wants to anticipate, so let me explai…

Pish: Two wires, a spring and a biscuit tin. /jk That’s how I built my first one – made a driver by Araldite-ing a hook to the centre of an old loudspeaker, attached a long spring to it (hand-wound), and then soldered the far end of the spring to…

Computer Recording Setup? Dual boot?
I’m with MicMicMan: most modern computers won’t get slowed down appreciably by the Internet, and ‘ground loops’ and ‘faulty cables’ can still happen with a standalone recorder such as the Zoom. It’s the Mutable Instruments forum that takes up my …

@joshuagoran: sorry, I haven’t posted details of this one yet in the SDE Wiki (still working on the next mod I’m afraid). I’ll give the FEED mod a higher priority, since it’s fairly simple. I just need to create an explanatory circuit diagram for…

Ladder Filter for Shruthi
@piscione: Just look at the SMR4-MkII circuit diagram and you’ll see exactly what you need for your ladder volume pot. Just look for 10k pot ‘R2’ on the SMR4 diagram and put that in place of the 10k ‘R18’ on Andre’s ladder filter. Martin

Wow – thanks for that link – good to know that such experts operate in the UK. Martin

no documentation for shruthi-1 legacy filter boards?
@Jojjelito: Why thank you kind sir – I’ve got yet another simpl(ish) mod to publish for the SDE very shortly that helps it sound like several more filter boards. I think you’ll enjoy it! Martin

How your studio looks like?
@ByteFrenzy: Now that’s the sign of a true ‘maker’ – having your soldering iron permanently on your desk right in front of you @elhambre: What exactly is that modular half-full rack unit with the white front panel at bottom right? Martin

Keyboard to filter cutoff, can't find it in the menus?
The vast majority of the time gwaidan’s advice is spot-on – with a single modulation slot and a -63 amount setting keyboard tracking it will very, very nearly negate the fixed key tracking, but if you try playing a preset across several octaves you…

Ladder Filter for Shruthi
@Andre: just came across this in my travels – doesn’t it look familiar? Top trace is Korg MS-20 Rev 1 (using Korg35 encapsulated filter with diodes across main filter path), and bottom trace is MS-20 Rev 2 (using discrete components and diode…

Question about R20 on the Shruthi control board
Assuming you bought your digital board from Mutable Instruments, I think Olivier is the one to answer this, as R20 has changed as he changed suppliers/colours of the display. Mine (amber) from Newhaven is 68 ohms, but I know new kits are sent out…

LFO sine wave ?
Actually, ~2 isn’t THAT different from the old ~1 I’ve saved my preset with ~2, and it’s worth it to get a proper sinewave into the LFO collection Martin
