Sounds like it might have some kind of hardware issue, though nobody's reported this before.

Email me via this page http://grayscale.info/orders and I will try to get some more info and troubleshoot. Glad that you have a scope.

Partially this comes down to a lower barrier of entry into making electronics. There are more people making more stuff with lower startup costs and lower expectations for financial returns. So they just make whatever they want because it's fun and they don't have to worry about appealing to a large ...

One big issue recently is that shipping networks are very congested. UPS Slaps Shipping Limits on Gap, Nike to Manage E-Commerce Surge https://wsj.com/articles/ups-slaps-shipping-limits-on-gap-nike-to-manage-e-commerce-surge-11606926669 Within the US it's not happening everywhere but in some major c...

The key for us Canadians buying from the US is to avoid using UPS or FedEx and stick to USPS/Canada Post. Yes, and I wish everyone knew this because I've had a few Canadian buyers get upset after first paying for expedited service through UPS etc and then having to also pay brokerage fees to the ca...

Nice module design and concept. I think you'll find that there's no need to reinvent the wheel. The aesthetic has a historical precedent that is part of the appeal for modular users. The Serge grid gives you a good functional density and an easy way to set up your panel layouts in 1" width increment...

I don't have an answer to your question, but I find this anomaly oddly fascinating.

The issue as I understand it is that Serge doesn't want to see virtualizations of his original designs. That could change. Anyone is free to do their own emulations of course but for a "Serge approved" version that approaches the sound of the hardware, it could be a while. There are plenty of Serge-...

Yeah! Welcome to Instruo:

Thanks @xcc and @depaffect – this info about the attenuation is correct. @Bitter Synth: The trig switch only triggers a single grain – a tiny blip of sound whose duration is partially determined by the Size parameter (and the range of Size is determined by the Time/Quality setting). You will not hea...

I haven't manufactured any of these for a while. Analogue Haven was the last shop with any inventory and it looks like they're out of kits. Only assembled modules left:

I still have a few black Maths panels for sale: https://grayscale.info/panels/make-noise-maths-v2-black/ Here's a video showing the process. You need a 5/16" hex driver, take care not to scratch either panel during the process. I usually put some tape on the end of the hex driver to keep it from scr...

Yes, there is something you don't understand. Please read the MIT License carefully.

That said, the SMP firmware was published two weeks ago:
https://github.com/1979modular/modules/tree/master/SMP

I'll publish the DR firmware eventually, on my own timeline.

Nope, you'd have to desolder the switches if you want to replace them.

If you're referring to the switches at the bottom, they are probably C&K D6R – available from Mouser, Digikey, or the usual DIY shops. Available in various colors and with two different force ratings: F1 (lighter touch) and F2 (more resistance). I spec the F2 on my modules. Color options, photo from...

Resistance is an electrical term, the word the OP is looking for is "torque"

I prefer (and spec) vertical-mount pots from Taiwan Alpha, which are widely used by many manufacturers (Make Noise, Cwejman, and others) and available from DIY shops.

Yep, mostly just have a few Make Noise and Turing Machine panels left: https://grayscale.info/panels/ As I mentioned above it's been a challenge to source black PCB panels with consistent quality. Aluminum prices have gone up due to tariffs. And in general I am focusing more on hardware development ...

Thanks for asking. No ETA yet. It's been prototyped but needs another hardware revision. This will be a good addition to the Buchla ecosystem though since it's a bit like having a 6-channel MARF and you can chain up to six units together for 36 "stages" in total.

DAO and MSV will work with the stock firmware. No ETA for the DR and SMP firmware, haven't looked at this code in about two years and need to make sure that what gets published is actually the final working version, that'll take some time.

Great post, thanks for the project update. Enjoyed the nerdy typography tangent too, really appreciate that level of attention to detail. The sides of those cases might have been drawn with a French curve and scaled up. Another old-school analog design technique akin to using Letraset for making fil...

This is one of the cleanest and comfyest setup I have seen. Love the uniformish cases. Very cozy and looks like a great room to patch in! Agree, was going to say the same. I like how that looks with everything side by side, plus you can just keep expanding horizontally (if your desk is wider thank ...

Sub $100 guitar pedals, junk mixers, and $20 tape recorders on eBay will work wonders.

It's probably not much of a secret but carefully reviewing the full Doepfer lineup can be quite illuminating. Newer brands get all the hype but there are plenty of weird and interesting modules in the Doepfer product line and they don't cost much either.

Your best bet seems to be emailing Maho or sending her a Facebook message and getting on the list for whatever's going into production soon. There is also a Facebook group where she and Wowa announce new batches and solicit feedback, etc. As in the past it could take years to get all the modules you...

Haven't updated this thread in a while. Three things: 1. Mylar Melodies posted this video a few weeks ago, using the Algo with the "Polyrhythm" firmware to full effect. https://youtube.com/watch?v=4jCCzpWBsFs&t=3s 2. This led to an influx of people asking why they couldn't buy the module. Well, ther...
