safety valve distorting "vca" VLOG 50

its rather gnarly! also here is the stripboard layout attached, i will be doing the vid on it today! then onwards to the next project!

SAFETY VALVE VCA PROJECT :)

This is what im working on for the next project video! hopefully up in the next 48 hours! including a stripboard layout.

Due to many people asking on here for schematics, i'm going to design both, meaning i can whack out a PCB also. when it comes to the time.

So this is what i got for a VCA for the DIY synth series... i could have done a standard VCA (that is still on its way) but i figured i should do something a little different.

This is probably not how you should do a VC...

TEDx Talk

VLOG 48 Everyday Electronics!

This months livestream!

so im back on it from tomorrow after working on a rather large machine this past 3 weeks that i will elaborate on. but tomorrow im setting up gameboy mega machine, and also! a teletubbie machine to get working on solidly for the coming months, so expect plenty of stuff on here haha. 

but whilst im at it! lets figure out a day for this months livestream. :)

VLOG 47 big servos, and the return of the gameboy megamachine!

so yeah! heres some things to sink your teeth into, this will make a video at somepoint after this rather big project is done its a means to control 50 servos.

the way i've done it was the most reliable way i found with what i had lying around, if theres a problem when it needs to work atleast its in the real world between different arduinos and teensys so i can solve it. 

there are 3 arduinos with the same code (different notes on all 3) midi input to 16 gate outs on midi ch...

Todays Vid and Audio Samples!

Todays vid is about a kit that when i saw it late one night on youtube i knew i had to build it haha. attached are some nice reverby drum samples and synth sweeps.

S.A.D. INSTRUMENTAL

i was looking for the recording i did in the tunnel with the gameboy and modular for this song from a year and a half ago or so and came accross this version!

I recorded this with sim in a rehearsal room when we were practicing together. thought it was interesting! No vox though, i think i was meant to go back to mine and do those, and i think i didnt get them right or something, no idea!  ENJOY

FC POWER DIY BUILD

A few people have asked for this video that never seem to get up here! and i had a tough time finding the parts routing through my hard drives but i managed to find it so here it is! 

I cant find the video file of the LED's putting them in, but the long leg! is soldered to the hole with the + sign next to it!

TODAYS VIDEO, and also a question!

so heres a quick video, trying to keep on top of the 2 !

A question for all! i'm having trouble working out a very low component count useable VCA good for voltage and audio. obviously the single transistor approach is good but its by no means perfect, and going for a kind of lm13700 style vca it ends up being quite component heavy. any ideas? trying to stay sub 15 components. :). This is for the super simple video series.

also!!! ms20 kosmo format PCB's are coming with the replac...

PATREON VLOG 46, how we did the modern gas vid and more
