Eurorack Builder

The picture below shows the output from my latest Visual Basic app'. This one allows you to choose rack width, build your rack and then compose a set of modules to go in it. For each module you can specify position in the rack and all knob values. The scene description created can then be rendered to 3D along with any specified patch cables to give an accurate representation of any patch.

OT: The Horsman Inc. blog

Just to draw your attention to a new blog that Horsmans junior and senior are starting today:

http://horsmanprojects.blogspot.com

The idea is for both me (junior) and my Dad (senior) to report on our real-world synth projects. He's currently putting together a Synthesizers.com and a Eurorack modular whereas I'm starting out down a purely Doepfer path.

Multicolour modular

Just an experiment. Reminds me a bit of a Fisher-Price xylophone!

Parameterized case creation experiment

Black is the new silver

A-148 Dual S&H

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

Retro green - Dansette style?

A-180 Mults with a big pink theme goin' on

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.

A-102 continued + A-124 Wasp

A-170 continued + A-102

A-170: Further work

Doepfer A-170 Dual Slew Limiter [work in progress]
