So I guess it’s no surprise That before I go on tour next I decided to rebuild my synthesizer to be more reliable and at the same time just make it overall more performance friendly.
The filters are down, pcb/panels are turning up to share in a few days and I shared the kicad if you didn...

so yeah thanks Frederik for the help on the led matrix code im waiting for this to turn up and put together but this will help route between all of the analog modules on the gameboy megamachine. it also has an input so the matrix can actually change sequentially.
rene said I could sha...

Shot this rather late last night. Forgot to post it before I went to bed. As always what I thought would be quick. Took ages! Making all those new ribbon cable looms and fixing problems. Hopefully today I’ll get to play it in all it’s polyphonic glory.

So! Got blessing from Rene on the ms20 filter for a small run so that’s good! The tuner vid up first with a strip board layout. Also have an Lfo and also a 6xlfo on the way and making a better oscillator. Next vid is on gameboy megamachine! And hopefully after that all these projects will come ...

yeah.... no idea how this happened ha
Rest of the day I'm recording some gameboy megamachine for you to see how its coming on!
2019-08-17 12:12:17 +0000 UTC View Post
so yes I did shoot this on Monday however I got a new laptop and also had to pop off somewhere for a couple of days and it just meant I couldn't get into pattern to post this! so back now.
amazingly my old laptop which I explained was a bit far gone, but still functioned! amazin...

so yes thanks a lot to Juha Kivekäs who quickly popped together a midi splitter code! im going to try it out tomorrow and fingers crossed it will get this megamachine singing!
Also chatting about the tuner module, hopefully will have the stripboard/code/pcb project and video up ...

Its on!! JULY's slightly delayed livestream! click through to the youtube to join the chat :)

yeah its definitely coming along, i was feeling a little overwhelmed by this project but the fact that these massive bus boards are working without a hitch and the second case makes it look humungous is the nudge i need. im trying to get the machine done for people to come see at my XOYO show in ...

Amongst oth...

sorry i was away over the weekend! you can see what happenned in the latest vid that went to youtube last night about a cool project with just a 9volt battery and the ability to conduct through people to trigger synths!. but here is plenty to catch up on!
Ill let you know about the livestre...

i know i know, im backing up a fair few projects to get videos out! i'm going through bit by bit on the fart box i haven't finished filming it, to send a perfect working one off to kursa and get this vid out on how to build it!!
As for the filter, im a little unsure how to move on, ba...

so a lot has happenned in the time between last nights update and this! :)
2019-07-22 16:10:48 +0000 UTC View Post
So yes! inbetween soldering all of the gameboy boards for the other case for the gameboy mega machine this is what i was up to this weekend. a video will be about in the next few days :)
2019-07-21 20:13:02 +0000 UTC View Post
here we go! i kinda prefer the other version tbh but the question has been answered!!!!! syncing up the commodore 64 and the song from the last video. up to my synthesizers via another computer haha.
First things first! FART BOXES im working on that video at the end of this week im building a fully functioning one for kursa and documenting it with a video. but ryan peacher was eager enough to pull a BOM off of the pcb as all of the components are labelled :-2019-07-17 00:02:44 +0000 UTC View Post
heres the audio "Backslash Backlash" from a video that should be up either today or tomorrow! depending if i can fit the rest of the video editing in my ever growing to do list today haha.
So basically if you havent guessed it, the next vid is on the commodore 64. and a program called MSSIA...

so good news. finally the bus board is done, should have it intime for the next update next weekend about the gameboy megamachines next step. what your looking at is a big pcb board that houses 16 VCA's and an LED backlight sequencer. this will be in charge of routing each gameboy in a row to eit...
2019-07-13 14:33:59 +0000 UTC View Post
so yeah had a change of heart on the bus boards and went full hog, and instead of relays, or even what paul suggested which was analog switches, i ended up going down the VCA route, with 2 VCA's per gameboy to send to 1 of two different audio lines, going with VCA's mean not just on and off...
