This just joined the to do list and also my “why didn’t I think of this” list.
Enjoy!

always thought that guitar pedals are limited in that sense, all these parameters are meant to shift over time, thats the beauty of CV, i like that its mechanical… this is like hacking without breaking it!

Wait, they claim this works with any knob? Round? D shaft? Knurled? Split shaft? 6.0 mm? 6.35 mm? Huge if true.

While they say you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs; you can’t make a synth without breaking some, well pretty much all of the components involved.
Welcome!

I’m going to say yeh, any sized knob.
But only because I get to say knob again.
I’ll even say there’s probably some kind of knob adapter that you can stick on your knob so that the knob turner can turn your knob no matter what size of knob you have.
Damn, was that fun!
Knob fact - the P is silent
Didn’t catch this thread and made a duplicate thread with another video, this one is by the creator and goes straight to the point:
Yall think we could do something similar under cv control in the modular world? Simple matter of rigging up a CV input to a motor, maybe with a little microcontroller in the middle of it.
The whole thing is 3D printed but only offered for sale, not an open design, so we can’t really see the internals even if they are pretty obvious
Would make for a much more fun visual musical performance than hacking an existing module with vactrol control

imagine the eldritch that this would be connected to a typical kozmo setup

Great idea, and a much more sensible use of precision engineering than whatever clown first designed a bridge with variable vibrato controlled by the plectrum hand.

A few years ago I had this idea of making a motor controlled potentiometer, basically by breaking it and sticking the wiper on the servo head and tying it all up with duct tape to keep everything in contact:P
resulting basically into a slow pwm controlled pot. I didn’t make anything of it yet, but it was fun! maybe in the future it becomes a little robot turning knobs
