Love this patch and the selection of modules! Those Non-Linear Circuits modules all look so cool! Need to diy a case for diy modules or something haha.
@ some are very straightforward, like a passive mult or gator. Then there’s a couple of THT modules - you can filter on the NLC website - but most are smd. Difficulty ranges from moderate to fairly difficult because of part count and part density. I recommend following the NLC Builders Guild on Facebook: that’s where I asked many questions when I started out, and learned from my own and other builder’s mistakes. It a very helpful community. You can always reach out directly to me, preferably through my IG account. I’m here to help, and so are others in the FB group. Very beginner friendly: - mult (no smd, only jacks) - gator (smd diodes, jacks) - 4HP mix: (smd IC, resistors, caps and some jacks and a pot) If you’re successful with the 4HP Mix, you’re ready to tackle a bigger one. Consider a nice but standard soldering station with temperature setting, switchable tips (I recommend a needle tip for smd if you’re soldering by hand). And some other stuff: smd tweezers, desoldering braid, flux and thin soldering wire. Best to do some reading in the FB group. Enjoy, take it slow, one step at a time.
@ Divskip is a no brainer if you’re into processing gate patterns (Bernoulli gate, clock divider, Euclidean etc). Brainstep is one of the most complete sequencers I’ve ever worked with. Really impressed with it. I’ve asked some extra features that might make it even better. The tutorial was published yesterday at Tubbutec’s YT channel.
@@Probbie thanks 🙏. Brainstep is a 4track sequencer, arpeggiator, cv>midi, midi>cv, modsource and even lofi drum sample player. You have to program sequences or record into it, so very different to a SIG.

@@turbotambourine thank you 🙏🏻
DIY is the way to go!
@ are the NLC modules fairly straightforward for people new to diy?
@ oh and your welcome. Really beautiful patch! How are you liking Brainstep and DivSkip?

Oh yes, loving this.. Cool video. I've never touched a Brainstep. Is it a bit like Stochastic Inspiration Generator?

@geusensdriesmusic Oh wow, sounds interesting.. 😀
