I need to get more game boys now, in frustration I ripped them all out and make them into camera rigs and midi controllers haha

Do you use the Hexinverter NeinOhNein series for your clap and snares? Although I’ve got one half-built, I think those boards are out of print now so we could probably do with a refreshed version of the circuit for a Kosmo clap.

Remember, folks, it is bad form to pray for more of Sam’s equipment to break!

haha very true! but also it is good. working to doing a tour in autumn, so i imagine ill be bashing a lot more of them out in the next few months. with the kosmo modules it definitely has been design by necessity. and yes. modules are on their way out. so a few will be coming! who knows. by this tour they could all be done, the full rack. but dont hold me to that

I was just considering making a neinohnein snare with updated noise…
I built one of those Hexinverter NeinOhNein . IMO for the cost and amount of work that went into it I have much simpler and cheaper modules that sound just as good .

That’s what I was thinking. I appreciate that it’s “authentic”, but I’m not a purist. It’d be more interesting to me to have a percussive white noise with three simple envelopes in a circuit that’s easy to understand and source. Maybe even an extra input and a switch to “clapify” anything.

I personally have next to no interest in building clones of stuff hundreds of thousands of other people have used for the past 40 years. I’d rather make something different and more personal.

I built four of the Barton Analog Drum modules for Euro. When I hot into Kosmo I built them all into one panel. I like them for their varied sound.

nice! yeah the kick drum and the snare because i stack them together anyway im thinking of merging them into a module. so for instance snare is a linn drum eprom and a crossfader with an analog snare which i think ill fiddle around and build upon. but finish this 1222 expander is first this week. because the portamento is being a faff, gotta squeeze in a couple more opamps

I built one (and the FM drum too) for Euro back in the day. Thought about doing a Kosmo one, then thought “maybe if I just add…” and “… ooh then I could …” and long story short it’s gonna be a project and a half.

A few months back I had ideas of having multiple kicks that I could mix in live. A personal kick is a mix of a few of them, three kicks seems about as complicated as I would mix. I simplified the ideas to mixing in DAW, pre-bouncing, and loading in a sampler! Except it’s something I’d still like to try live in modular.
I like having a lot of samples to work with making mixed kicks and so I’d be grateful for my own personal 909 samples from kit!

the BMC’s are my favorites out of the drum modules I have built . half the knobs of most other modules but still great sounding electronic drums .
