Ok so i blew op my poor hifi speaker listening to the new slipknot song.

Who can guess what i will be using the enclosure for? (Kosmo module for scale)

Which filter board did you go with?

I’ve built a couple of these and designed a panel for them. What did you do for a case? Just curious.

The start of a mini Lunetta-style CMOS modular. All guts exposed, nothing labeled 😃  
The plan is just to have them in a grid on some sort of tray, power daisy chained

What software are you using to design the parts?

Not sure what you mean by filter board? I’m just using it on standoffs without a case for now.

Perhaps some confusion of this Module Tester with a Shruthi synth?

The 3d stuff uses FreeCAD, it’s pretty complex and i only learned parrtially one workflow out of many (part design + sketch). It’s one of the few serious options for printing functional parts. Most hobbyists prefer Fusion 360 for that kinda stuff, but trusting Autodesk with anything is naïve or willfully ignorant of their long established behavior, I fully expect them to change the terms of the deal and hold people’s data hostage, so I’m sticking with the program that will still be free in 10 years

While I was turning myself into an ice cream today (aka getting sunburnt) I soldered these beauties up. Still not quite finished just got some headers and need the correct pots. Cant wait to test these out =)

Don’t know if I want to make a simple mixer for these or just wait for the Befaco one to come back in stock on Thonk

Huzzahh! Pretty much got these guys finished now. Short 1 Ecap im gonna take off another project that can use a none low profile cap.

Cant wait to test and hear these in action. =D

Edit: whoop wooop! Plugged them in and got no magic smoke! Haven’t tested the sound of them yet though =D

Got a simple mixer built today, haven’t tested or taken pics today. Ill get some taken tomorrow =)

Got to make a Simple Delay next i think.

finally have the frame work ruffed in for the super controller 5000 .  
my idea is to put control type stuff in this unit so I can minimize how much digging through cables I have to do on the module racks .

I am going to use these to inter connect between controller and module racks .

I finished the prototype for an interface to one of the voice cards [A full SYNTHESIZER on one board including MULTIMODE FILTER](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/a-full-synthesizer-on-one-board-including-multimode-filter/5169)

It brings out all parameters and control voltages of the card and makes them patchable. There are also some utilities like a LFO, attenuator, buffered multiple and mixer on it.

It is the first time I used SMD for all major components. I must say it is a bit fiddly but I’m getting better. I’m using a hot air rework station to solder the components.

Next steps are finishing the PCB layout and making a panel for it.

Well, that front plate could be nice if I hadn’t forgotten those hole REF\*\* -markers there…  
Also, jlcpcb seems to have the worst quality when printing on aluminium.  
My wavefolder design got a bit more complicated in the third iteration. There’s about 200 components in this, I need to check things before plugging it in for the first time, I hope I didn’t make any serious blunders when designing the pcb. I designed it so, that changing the front plate and board with the pots it can be connected to a Kosmo versions of those.

More panel space between knobs would be good.

Nice graphic up top!
