Today I started to build a Steiner Parker filter on a circuit board that I got as a gift. It is the Yusynth circuit. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/4/48e9e1b2d0d953082c7217eb033231a5ee730e12.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/e/e4af291c2ab39b10a9209b722f6b9e30da35c0cc.jpeg) Then something was missing and I switched off the soldering iron and built a small double stand for my Volcas, I have a Volca sample and will get another Volca key in the next few days. When he arrives, he will have a nice place immediately šŸ˜‰ [![77466-b4d4a94d1308be08e3f2eb9654d7559e.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/8/857838771e8e954e15f799c5d2e75a0eb69a33fc.jpeg "77466-b4d4a94d1308be08e3f2eb9654d7559e.jpg") ](https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/attachments/1608491144313-png.87909/)[![77468-a7aba7574451b7ea7a88aeb616d87d0c.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/1/10c6426cfebdcd103727b4a9dd2b32495bbcc773.jpeg "77468-a7aba7574451b7ea7a88aeb616d87d0c.jpg") ](https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/attachments/1608491160799-png.87911/)[![77469-7c8cbb2ead6fbe91e620ab83c6bb55fe.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/4/47139d84a9e03778fd85a2b1866b85b047cdabf5.jpeg "77469-7c8cbb2ead6fbe91e620ab83c6bb55fe.jpg") ](https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/attachments/1608491179153-png.87912/)[![77471-db567bf7e71d9457c79f9bb265fbce1c.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/4/4da0270eadb28eb06a9141f5ac53e106ad7ced35.jpeg "77471-db567bf7e71d9457c79f9bb265fbce1c.jpg") ](https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/attachments/1608491260873-png.87914/)[![77470-adf168811c55e217e4147a7e1bc07d6d.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/8/8554eebd77c983bb463606b5b778e520552cac8c.jpeg "77470-adf168811c55e217e4147a7e1bc07d6d.jpg") ](https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/attachments/1608491196063-png.87913/) At the moment Iā€™m not so flashed by my modular anymore, the small finished boxes are just a little more fun for me. Perhaps the step to start with a modular one was too many. Especially when it doesnā€™t work as it should. Nevertheless, because I only have 2 inputs on my audio interface, I also need effects for the finished synths. And I would like to continue building it myself. Do you have some good tips for me, especially for GOOD delays and reverbs, distortion and everything else you need. Preferably with a link to a stripboard layout. Cheers THOGRE ---

Obviously they are meant to be blasted by a modular! So I quickly whipped a module up with one. Itā€™ll be full really soon ---

Built my black @analogoutput Gate Grinder. Took the opportunity to use some oversize switches I had lying around.

Thanks, Unfortunately I had to remove the latches for the lid, they protruded 5mm into each side of the case. At least I can carry it from home to the studio. ---

No - They should not be there - Still trying to sus out all of the wiring with a friend. There is VCA circuitry but she is just droning away - Trying to figure out the the on/off aspect - A couple of us think that this was before Peter fine tuned everything to allow for dead silence when not touching the Piezos or Scroll buttons. Right now the Piezos create an unwanted HUMMMMMM and Click every so often but then function properly when 2 of the scroll buttons are held - A little more to add to the challenge is that these are not ā€œmyā€ board conversions - So I am not as intimate with this circuit lol. @Bitnik - I usually start with one section - one quadrant of a build at a time - since a lot of ciat-lonbarde stuff repeats the same oscillators and control functions over in pairs, or multiples through a lot of his circuits. He seems to use a lot of the same theories or ideas from project to project. - sometimes with different functions. It is nice to have an established community in a couple other Forum Spaces where we all talk about ciat-lonbarde šŸ™‚ ---

So far just cut the panel, drilled holes (incorrectly), and installed hardware. Shockingly, no blood was spilled all evening. Iā€™m going to work off of Samā€™s schematic for the 1163 mini mixer, and will attempt to use some plated through hole protoboard I got off Amazon. I donā€™t have any TL072s handy.
