      The labels for the TL072s on the strip board layouts shown on your site are upside down. Don't want some new synth DIY people to get caught by that and put their chips in the wrong way. Thanks for making great videos and sharing this stuff with people!

    • @nmidu
      @nmidu 4 года назад

      Sorry for the question, the output A of the TL072 conect with the +12 power supply? Or the pin 3 conect with the +12 power supply? I cant make it work, i have 2,5 V in the output of the envelope all the time.

      I see. I like electronic music. I just don't happen to like most of the modern EDM type of stuff that's so prevalent right now. If you're the same way, then I'm sure you'll like Automatic Gainsay. ruclips.net/user/AutomaticGainsay
      He generally does synth reviews but his original music is just amazing imo.

  • @mllarson

    Since discovering the Furby Organ video, I've started gathering midi instruments (some of which can do control voltages) so that I can experiment with bleeps and bloops (I'm an old-school gamer). Once I find a house to purchase and have some more room, I think I'm going to start making some of this stuff (as opposed to software emulating them with VSTs). It's always that one video you find that sends you down the rabbit hole into wonderland.

    Man I love what you do. I saw a drum kit in your studio and you didn't know what to do with it yet. You have the answer in your modular synth. I was impressed by your animatronics synth and it would be great to incorporate this in an acoustic drum kit. I love playing drums and have been thinking about ways to spice up the stage presence of my drum. What if you could make the bass drum head into a giant animatronics face and make it react to the music. Or set of flamethrowers or CO2 guns, or leds or...
    What if you can make the face look bad every time the bass player is making mistakes? Or hook it up to the guitarists pedalboard so something happens when they engage a pedal to play a solo... So many ideas and possibilities, but being a drummer I don't have the abilities to build them myself, cause let's face it... I'm a drummer :-) Let your creativity flow and go down the rabbit hole on the drumkit :-)
