It's not modular but when I wanted a scope for my rack I went super cheap and got a DSO 138 for around $20-$30. I had to do some soldering but only through-hole since I got a kit with the SMD pre-soldered (maybe all the kits are like that?). It was very easy to build. You can get them from places li...

I want to like SynthCube, I really do. My last order was re-routed back to them (coast to coast) because they did not have my complete address on the shipping label. The package got within a mile of me, but was sent back east. I'm really not sure how this happened because it was through PayPal....a...

Depending on the monitor and the audio signal, the monitor might not like the signal voltage and it might break something. Line-level audio probably won't be too risky since I think that's usually closer to video-level voltages, but modular-level audio is usually 5-10 times higher voltage than typic...

Thank you very much for your reply FetidEye, I understood that sync was useful but I thought without sync no video at all would be produced and I was wondering what the technical reason was! Now I understand better, that the output will not be a simple black screen, but perhaps "unstable" It also d...

VCAs are very much set and forget in my case, so I don't really care and I prefer the expanded control of v2. Would be nice if Mutable discounted old revisions to give buyers a heads up. I believe Mutable usually waits until stock is pretty low or completely out (at resellers) until announcing a re...

i have kinks and love it, and its upper 2 sections work fine at video rates for me;

Oh! I can't believe I haven't tried my Kinks with my LZX stuff! Thanks for the tip!

nice - could you post a link to the actual effect please? I found it through the youtube link: http://analogreason.wz.sk/griii.html That page says "only discrete components" and in the small view of the inside that you can see on the pictures page you can see it has very few components... I have my...

Nice module, and one of the better implemetations of amatrix mixer. But how can they charge $325 (according to modulargrid) for something that basically is 48 jack inputs? 48 jacks at thonk would cost me £20. Ok, I know there's more going on inside the module, but jesus the price of eurorack is sic...

Going just a little offtopic here: I have the ramp generator but how do I achieve vertical bars? With the aforementioned frequency doubler? Yeah, the frequency doubler can get you some more vertical bars. The Cadet Ramp generator has a doubled ramp output already, which is like one vertical bar. If...

You could look into LZX's oscillator modules. They're specifically designed to go into video frequency ranges, which start at high audio frequencies and go up from there. The audio modules that I've tried to get up to video rates either couldn't make it as far or were far less stable at those freque...

Also see that a version of my second suggestion is already here. That being you may not want to run the full DC power of an Arduino through a typical tact switch. The current isn't trivial, and DC ratings for switches are FAR,FAR less than for AC. Meaning you're setting yourself up for fused switch...

Wow. Lots of great ideas! Thanks everyone. I'm going to have to think about things and try to figure out what works best. I'm especially going to investigate ways to do it without adding more hardware. I didn't think it'd be possible, but maybe it is. I haven't dove too deep into why it locks up in ...

I'm designing a eurorack module that's powered by an Arduino and is being designed so that users can make their own code for it. (I know, I know... these already exist. But I'm making one for video synth purposes, so some of the electronics necessarily needs to be different than existing ones.) Whil...

One thing I've thought about doing but never actually tried yet is putting some LDR's (photoresistors) on a video monitor, spaced out, maybe in a grid. Then set up a voltage divider per LDR, using the LDR as one of the resistors, and doing something with the resulting voltages. That way different ar...

Ladik's offerings are extensive to say the least. Maybe it's me missing something but why are they not getting more attention?

There's a whole Ladik thread that pops into activity every now and then: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=121318

Was there a post removed that people are reacting to? Or was it just my comment? I'm not politically leaning enough to care about using ULINE or not either, and I wasn't trying to make the thread political (one way or another). I just brought it up as something to be aware of because of the experien...

I also found self adhesive boxes that peel and stick for the outer box. you pay about $0.30 extra to have a time saving feature like that. Word of warning: Be sure to test out the self-adhesive a bit before actually using them. Load them with the approximate weight you'll have in them and drop them...

I have a few suggestions for changes (in addition to the planned changes you mentioned, which I think are important too)... If the interboard connectors aren't connected to anything specific, number them, or put silkscreen divisions every 5 or so. This will make it easier to make sure you're hooking...

You may get more answers over in the DIY forum: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=17 I've been meaning to build the Antumbra DVCA, which is a 2-VCA version of the Mutable Instruments Veils. It's chainable, so you can connect several together for cascading mixing. I like my VCAs to ha...

Not sure if this counts as true bypass, but it's probably fine enough? Check the diagram above the 3PDT diagram here: https://mike-bland.com/2013/01/04/mxr-micro-amp-true-bypass.html Looking at it more, it looks like that has the input connected to the top-left pin on that jack and to the effect in...

I'd be interested in a group buy, for somewhere between 30-60 pcs (maybe more?), depending on price. Not sure if that's a smaller qty than you'd want to do for minimum group buy or not, if it happens.

Thanks for doing this Paul! I just signed up and am looking forward to the videos.

One more thing to mention.... In case you haven't seen it yet, the LZX Community forum is a great place for all-things-LZX: https://community.lzxindustries.net

At this point I don't have anything more to add except the LZX schematics for the Cadet and Castle modules are such a wonderful resource! I've poured over all of them so much in my (still ongoing) efforts to make my own video modules.
