Re: Simple CV to MIDI modules?
The Analogue Systems RS300 is old, big and expensive but a cool thing.
Here's a large picture of the panel.

Re: Generative modules for 7u 104hp
You'll be surprised how many instances of the simpler functions you need. Attenuate, mix, scale, invert, mute, switch, etc. Klavis MixWitch handles these. The manual is clear but if you don't respond well to manuals you may not see all the possibilities. I find it's a worthwhile use of 8hp.

Re: Case Dilemmas
I know you spend a lot of time planning and executing a patch, so why not take a patch-centred approach? ... If you have a large selection of modules you can decant those that are relevant to the job in hand to a smaller, patch-focused case. Actually, that's what I've been doing. My "smaller, patch...

Very nice weaving together of the changing qualities. I'm never quite sure how to end things like that and usually do what you did.

Re: Patching question (ambient)
Think about whether you want to make your ambient music live or by some kind of post production step, which could be basic cut and paste or a full on track by track deal.

I like the REAN / Neutrik YS226BG very much. Currently you can get 20 for about $25 at Mouser.

Re: Shortwave Radio options for Eurorack
I would avoid receivers that have whip antennas... Thanks for those recommendations. Speaking of antennas and reception, Do you think there's any point in attempting to receive SW if you live in a big city with all the interference an urban environment provides. I can put an antenna on the roof, ap...

Re: multi voltage PSU
I frequently use 12V and 15V gear together. Generally I use separate power supplies but for one smaller frame I used a single +-15 supply and, on a piece of stripboard, added a pair of regulators to make +-12 from that. There are other threads here you can find about that.

Re: Self generating patches....tips and ideas ?
Combine some LFOs with a mixer or a min/max thing. Though if you want it to stop moving around you kind of need the S&H.

Re: An idea for a specialized synth Q & A platform
I hear you saying "our community is scattered over the internet" and proposing a new platform. Doesn't that add to the scatter? Still, I'm curious about ASKBOT. Do you know of a particularly nice ASKBOT site we might want to look at? Thanks.

Re: Binary Block Voltage
Okay, so there's 8 knobs for setting values and 3 gates, with corresponding switches, to select which one of those 8 voltages (one at a time) becomes the output. 2x2x2=8. The switches (Hi/Lo/Ext) are there to override the gate inputs. Set them to Ext to use the gate inputs. The knobs have markings (...

Re: Self generating patches....tips and ideas ?
Lately I've been tinkering with a two row eurorack system I call the Chaos Kit. After clearing off a big complicated mess I came up with an interesting patch for two resonant percussive sounds and a bit of reverb. Before I go adding more to it... Here's the sound . Here's the patch: Generative patch...

Re: Clank Chaos
If that's any indication, I don't think they've done their homework.Chaos is the hidden force that moves everything around us. It’s a random stream of events, whose correlation is impossible to understand.

Anybody have a good tool for holding an SMD part to the pads for soldering. They tend to get crooked or fly away when I solder them.
