Coming soon from Mutable Instruments... Euro modules
@gwaidan My comment about the expense is a personal problem. I just don’t have the money, but the gear-lust is definitely there! The modules will certainly be “worth” >$400, with all the effort Oliver has put into them. By the way, I don’…

glitched's Shruti-1 001: "Whiteout"
Orbitalgun: Thanks for your interest. I haven’t checked this forum for a while. I hope you were able to give your Shruti a home. Unfortunately, I could not find the source Sketch-up files, but the .svg files can be edited with something like Ink…

Coming soon from Mutable Instruments... Euro modules
Perhaps, a bit too expensive for me, right now, but they all look like must-haves. Congratulations! I knew you’d eventually come over to the dark side.

Announcing Ambika...
Impressive…most impressive. This is indeed the most advanced digital/analog polyphonic (and multitimbral!) synthesizer out there. Even some “modern” digital synths don’t have the ability to assign a voice allocation (Monomachine, I’m looking at y…

Why Shuthi-1 can't be 100% analog?
Moreover, the oscillator isn’t as critical to contributing to the “analogness” of a synthesizer, as a filter is. I’m not saying that analog oscillators don’t have character, but if you think about it, a patch will highlight the filter 90% of the t…

missing negative voltage 3
Might seem silly, but make sure you have the 7905 the right way around. If you use the TO-92 part (the small one), the datasheet can be a little confusing because the image shows it from the BOTTOM! So ironic that this happened to me today, while…

Acrylic case pron (SFW)
Nice job! Another Ponoko creation? Is that the matte acrylic?

SMT toy
Great ideas. One idea that has plagued me since hearing about it is the “pseudo-algorithmically generated” step-sequencer. Oliver, you mentioned this a long time ago, when first talking about the Shruthi. All it would need is a button/encoder c…

Packaging Atrocity
You just have to wonder what they’re thinking. I mean, the packaging often costs wayyyy more than the components! Newark is the US equivalent to Farnell. The silliest packaging I recall was a thick, ABS plastic jewel case with clasps, contai…

Features for a "modular interface" filter board
Moduar interface, do it, do it, do it! That generative-ish sequencer idea you mentioned a while back would be a perfect start. I’m a eurorack guy, so I’d obviously vote for something in this form factor. There is no “standard” per se, but the g…

SSM2164 failiure mode
So, what are you planning for the SSM2164, Oliver? Some of your posts on synth-diy seem to point to a filter. Interesting… Want to let us in on anything yet?

SSM2044 question/s
This is a standard “feature” of the SSM2044 filter, unless the design includes some sort of gain compensation, like the Tiptop Audio Z2044 eurorack module claims it does: http://www.analoguehaven.com/tiptopaudio/z2040/

A break
You dare leave us with a teaser like this: http://mutable-instruments.net/node/11681 ? The picture in the bottom-right is a IR301 board! This filter is (mostly) responsible for “the Roland sound” and was featured in the following iconic synth…

Eigendrums
I love the “pattern morphing” and auto-generated pattern ideas. This is the type of drum computer/sequencer I dream of. I assume we’d have to have a Shruthi control board for this, but could this ever expand to a standalone drum machine add-on? …

Who's up for a MOS6581 and stuff?
Ordinarily, I’d jump at the chance to pick up another SID and boards, but my MB SID is chock-full already.

Who's up for a MOS6581 and stuff?
Interesting. Do you have pictures and where are you located? Do you have any ability to test the MOS chip?

Shruthi-1 acrylic case
I was thinking of doing a case for the Shruthi-1, but there’s no need now—this one is perfect!

VCA click or no click switch
Alternatively, setting the VCA attack to around 10 virtually eliminates the click.

Firmware customization tool
With the new firmware tool, I’ve been able to customize my firmware, using a wavetable that I made. Check it out, here: dwaves.bin – wavetable It’s a pretty standard analog waveform collection, but there are a few interesting tones. Here’s wh…

Can’t wait to see if it works! This would be a cool little project.

Firmware customization tool
@pichenettes: It sounds like harsh FM with some weird harmonics. Pretty wild! @dnigrin: First the “start/end/loop adjustment” on the WTPA and now this! Hah. Smart guys like Oliver and Todd are the ones with all the talent. I’m just glad I can…

Really cool. Having so much fun with multiple wavetables! In synthesis, scanning wavetables is one of the most pleasing things to do, for me, and now I can do it with both oscs! It’s like a mini Waldorf Microwave. Oh, and how great is it that y…

Firmware customization tool
Perhaps it’s not the optimal situation, but if each oscillator is able to load one of four wavetables, that’s a lot of creative possibilities. Since each wavetable is made up of 16 waves, that’s a total of 64 timbres to play with (not to mention t…

This is so great! Just spent a good hour just messing around with the new wavetables. “Waves” is my favorite. I can’t wait to make my own. This tool is a wonderful gift to those of us whom might not be able to take part in the ShruTHi-1 fun.…

Shruthi-1 reference manual
I am salivating. Echoing dnigrin’s feelings, I am especially excited about the oscillators, wavetables, and arp/seq improvements. A “Phillip Glass” pattern generator? This is MADNESS!

Damn, that looks nice. I almost like it better in black. I’m very proud of the design and am glad that you’re using it, Oliver.
