Double-decker case


This temporarily solves the space issue.

I need a bigger case!


Full at last (OK, there is that 4HP of wasted space on the right!). I need to start thinking about expanding the case to 2 x 84HP.

I now actually want a real version of this case! My current case is similar (see photo below), but I love the curves and finish of the green one.


6 new modules - A-114, 118, 130, 132, 160 & 161


Well, I said I wanted to get 5 new module models done this weekend... I managed 6, bringing the module total to 12.

Hopping on the no. 84HP bus (board)


Bigger box (full rack width - 84HP) and a power bus. Won't see it once the box is full, but I'll know it's there (and the LEDs will shine through the grille like in the image below). I'm trying to make a module a night, but am slipping behind. Perhaps I'll make 5 over the weekend? If I stick to modeling ones which conform to the 5 knobs, 5 sockets layout (like the filters, env and VCA above) then they should be fairly quick to 'letter up'. I do fancy having a go at the oscillators though...

Spot the difference. It's all in the details....


Washers on all bolts, lit LEDs, improved vent, internal power rail LEDs.

Case Tinkering - A vent event


It's starting to look like something that might've been used to detect radioactivity in a 1950s sci-fi movie!

A-131 VCA

A-140 ADSR and some cables






OK, we're starting to bring together some of the pieces that have gone before now. Remember the patch cabling routine I developed earlier this year for the dotcom-styled modules? Well, here it's being used again in a new 3.5mm format.

OT: Jarre Concert - Birmingham, UK

Just got back from seeing Jean-Michel Jarre at the NIA in Birmingham. EXCELLENT show.
