Today I built the second Erica Synths Envelope Generator. I was able to replace 13 pieces of 100k resistors with SMD. Iāve been using the soldering iron again for a long time. In between I was busy with the Volca FM, but I just donāt get really warm with it. Itās great, no question about it, but I donāt think FM is my thing ā¦

Theyāre pretty dope because they have so many cool modes, but sadly you can only really use one mode at a time. I think iām gonna want to build at least 2 or 3 more of them

I think I read that you could take the MCU with 16MB (or more) instead of 8 and then install several firmwares that you can choose. Do you know anything about this?
But it could also be that I was wrong and confused it with branches.
Probably confused Braids with something else, ācoz Braidsā MCU only has 128KB ROMā¦
You can only use one of the tens modes/waveforms at the same time, but they are all in the same firmware, available with a twist of the encoderā¦

I will have to take a look at what Braids are as everyone talks about them but I have no idea what they do, even after 16 months of being here

I ājustā started looking into it myself. It seems like a super fancy oscillator.

a lot of nice different plug and play sounds with the modular tweak ability .
Be that as it may, but has anyone ever published any music on this forum in which it was used?
Sam uses it quite a bit.
for example the vocal type sounds at the beginning of and the background rhythm all the way through Desperado Vespa is the VOWL mode.
Sam has 2 of them in his performance setup and he uses them extensively.

With France in a Covid lockdown and the kids home for the last three weeks I hadnāt had much of a chance to breadboard. Today I slunk off to the garage to put a front-end on the diode ladder VCF and hook it up to the DIY synth.
Still want to fix the gain loss upping the resonance, but Iāve half an LM13700 that I think will do the trick.
Next steps after that is to add mixers for the CV so itās not just pots but things like envelopes and LFOsā¦
Cheers

Got the Noise Bells and Dual Quant from @analogoutput working today. Unfortunately thereās no room in the rack for the Noise Bell as Iāve used up all 165cm of space. Sometime after May Day iāll head over to the hardware store and pick up some bits of wood to make another rail for book case #1 and rails for book case #2.

Itās great to see you back. Iām not building but I have made some progress on learning DAWs and I bought an Akai Miniak which makes fantastic sounds. I was just about to get working with the patch editor I bought for the Miniak when my daughter took scissors to the power cable, so now Iām waiting for a new PSU. Fortunately she only cut the 9V DC side of the old power cable, because I donāt think itās as easy to replace a daughter.

Went and dropped a few pennies on some tools and supplies for making case 2 and 3 today.
(Cheap woodwork protractor, decent 1m metal ruler, more corner clamps, 2 small sheets of ply and a bunch of rail bars)
Got the rails all chopped to 60cm, case 2 and 3 sides are readyā¦
Next up (tomorrow) is the tops and bottoms, then assembly.
Case 2: dual kosmo. Case 3: 1U and kosmo.
Spray days are incoming =D
Also had a bit of a bonding with dad, I needed his guidance on using his mitre/table saw and we made a nice big mess of the kitchen. Dust EVERYWHERE!
Even in the closed cutlery draw haha XD
Actual fun times.
