Testing the sizes for a daft build I dreamt up and couldn’t stop thinking of.
That’s a second-hand iPod Touch 5 (£30) married up to a 3D-printed piece that has a TRRS plug and an Apple Lightning connector mounted in the right places. (The little PCB you can see is what was inside the plug on the iPhone USB/SD card hub thing I picked up; the Lightning connector is on this.)
My daft idea was to make a module that shifts output levels, attenuates a mono input, provides USB for MIDI, and has some form of CV-to-MIDI (and possibly classic MIDI) circuitry incorporated. It’s ridiculous. All that circuitry will be in a Eurorack module with an 8-core cable running between that and this, so I can pick it up to peer at with my aging eyes.
This is yet another project to chip away at slowly…
