Not rushing :wink: plenty else to focus on.

I actualy found N&V about 8 months before discovering Sam, and for a Controller project totaly unrelated to Synths with the exception of using the MIDI proto…

Finally ordered the pots for the VC Xfade I made for KOSMO like a month or 2 ago (or more lol)


As well as couple others for a different project. :slight_smile:
Some brown banana’s to replenish what I took from ROOLZR for KOSROLZ… lol

Do you think Tayda has a machine to stack your random order onto styrofoam? Or by hand :thinking:

Got some much needed cables. 8 2-footers and 6 6-footers.
Believe it or not… 3 tiers of KOSMO… I only owned 5 patch cables… lol…

So sprague trim caps for a special project.


Some boards a friend designed! Twin T Filter and Transverse Messenger, meant for solar power.

1.995*15850 ≈ 31620

This is acoustics, the frequencies are 10^(band/10) for bands 15, 18, 21, …, 45 and the filter labels are nominal bandpass center frequencies as defined by IEC/ANSI etc standards. That formula is within ~1% from exact doubling in the audible range, so close enough, I guess :grinning:

>>> [round(10.0**(band/10.0), 2) for band in range(15, 45+1, 3)]
[31.62, 63.1, 125.89, 251.19, 501.19, 1000.0, 1995.26, 3981.07, 7943.28,
15848.93, 31622.78]

TIL 10^0.3 = 2 to within less than 0.25%.

It does say “Octave Filter Set”, though, and we Pythagoreans know an octave is double the frequency exactly. (Tell that piano tuner I don’t want to hear about it.)

I suppose there’s a reason 15.625 Hz, 19.686 Hz, and 24.803 Hz are rounded to the nearest integer, 31.250 Hz to the nearest half integer, and 39.373 Hz to the second nearest integer, but I’m too dense to figure it out.

(Edit: No I’m not, it’s because they’re rounding the base 10 values, not the base 2 values. Ah.)

Nothing I’ve googled has explained why acousticians use base 10 frequency bands, but then I remembered, oh yeah

Saw Sam using one of these ribbon cable crimpers in a video and I said dang, why am I freezing my ass off going out to the garage to use the vise?

Finally got around to getting the lasered case made for my MI module tester and the faceplate for my dual fan fume extractor I designed and built. I decided to spray paint the text and graphics. I think it turned out ok. :slight_smile:

this is amazing.
I heard those mutable module testers are indispensable for module makers.
They don’t make em anymore right?
