Hello everyone,
I’ve finally started building my first Kosmo case. I made it a bit shorter (60x40) than Sam recommended because I’m just starting out and it will probably take me ages to fill it with modules. Instead of building the modules so deep into the case and closing the case with a plate, I built the whole case first and then sawed it into 2 parts so that the lid leaves enough room keep the patch cables plugged in. Because the case is so compact, it seems to be easiest to use when it is flat but slightly tilted. With two screw-in nuts and two 120 mm screws with plastic heads, it sits firmly on the table. And the screws can easily be removed for transport. The look is of course completely intentional and has absolutely nothing to do with a lack of woodworking and painting skills
The first module is already finished. Unfortunately, it’s just a power supply unit and doesn’t make any sound. But its little brother, which I built for the workbench, already powers a VCO (Moritz Klein’s) on the breadboard. As I read today, the 5V that I added are probably superfluous because they are not used at all in Kosmo modules and hardly ever in Euro Rack modules. But now they are in and certainly don’t interfere. The next steps are to put the VCO on a board and build a panel for it, then I think an output module would be a good idea.
Hi all, now I’m building a circuit of the Soviet drum module and I can not understand why it does not work 2 potentiometers, I created a separate thread (USSR Drum module issue), someone help me understand, please!!!
It’s partially this communities fault that I got into this hobby, so it’s time to share my humble beginnings with you
I started with Moritz Klein’s power supply and VCO tutorials and then built a 60x40 rack. I thought about painting it, but I like the combination of dark blue acrylic panel and white wood, so I keep it natural for now.
I have a Meanwell power supply waiting for me to order a proper power connector with switch and building enough courage to work with mains voltage. For now I use my AC wall plug based power supply.
My current project is a MIDI-to-CV converter that’s already somewhat usable but lacks precision.See this post for details.
Long time lurker here, huge appreciator of this forum so breaking my introversion to share my build progress.
Two x 84hp euro cases. 3d printed and designed myself.
Modules on stripboard with schems from Hagiwo, Analogue Output, LMNC, Eddy Bergman layouts and so many more. Also have a couple diy modules by MiaW and Knopsl. Huge thanks to you all to be honest.
I designed it in tinkercad
Its 150mm deep. Holds gietec threaded strips
Printed in clear and black petg. Wired some lights in it. Been at it for 3ish years in my free time with a hiatus this last year. Back at it again atm.
Thanks for the compliment.
Wheres best to upload sound demos?
Needs a power distribution board (on the way from JLCPCB) connected to the existing supply (via some Wago connectors I just bought) and a back (Home Depot trip coming up). And needs modules, I’m going to be completely rearranging the modules. And building new ones later in the year.
I planned on using a laser to cut a wooden panel to close the gap at the bottom of my racks and mount a WOPR in each of them. But I ended up designing a PCB for it. The WOPRs are flanked on either side by Apollo, God of Music.
Indeed. WOPR is a computer system in the movie “War Games”. WOPR stands for “War Operation Plan Response”. The WOPR in the movie is a super computer that simulates all kinds of war scenario’s and looks for the best approach to wage war. Obviously in the movie it goes rogue and tries to launch missiles. But luckily there is a hero, so things will eventually be resolved.
