DIY kits

besides like x0xb0x and buildyourownclone.com, weres a good place for DIY kits? (I want something somewhat affordable)

I'm wanting to find like a REVERB diy kit, or some really cool delay DIY kit, or anything else interesting, show me watcha guy WATMM >B(

Paia has a couple reasonably priced kits available on their site-- http://www.paia.com/

Yah, the PAiA vocoder is a supreme deal really. So is the modular Synth there, if you can deal with a metric ton of soldering. Protip: When you can't feel your gums you are breathing too much lead and should take a smoke break.

you never breathe lead, just the resin fumes (flux)

but yeah, it makes me dizzy :)

There were some crazy MIT kids who made a gigantic light show floor out of some custom PCB's and one showed signs of lead poisoning from all of the soldering he had to do for it. You do breathe in some lead there, just not too much unless you're doing the 32,000+ joins that he was.

talkbox plz

HOWTO:

that's a real simple but fun one. I might try it some time.

Hell yah, plus I figured from your melodica experiments you'd not be adverse to shoving tubes in your mouth.

lol sure sure -.-

The Midibox Sid kit is about $50usd if you can also get your hands on a Commodore 64 or just the chip inside.

Seems a bit AWESOME.

Goddamn I wish my Synthesizers.com midi 2 cv was that well featured. Not that the wildcad one is amazingly featured, but I only get velocity voltage, not even any pitch bend (no fake 303 slides), or midi thru, or much of anything else.

d00d, get THIS with THIS

Operating modes in the v.2.0 firmware allow:

 

* 9700K Midi2cv8Pitch and Gate control of 4 synth voices.

* Either Multi (assignment of data from four midi channels) or Mono (rotational assignment of data from one midi channel) operation. Pitch, Velocity and Gate control of 2 voices plus Pitch and Mod wheel CVs. Either Multi or Mono assignment can be selected.

* Pitch, Velocity, Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Release Velocity, Channel Pressure, Gate and Re-trigger. Complete, true staccato control of one synth voice.

* 8 CVs from Continuous Controller messages. Controllers can be on one midi channel or separate channels.

* Analog Drum Trigger Mode. 8 pulses by note# with pulse amplitude set by note velocity.

* DIN Sync - 24ppq, Start, Stop and Continue PLUS simultaneous control of a single Pitch, Velocity, Gate, Wheel, Re-trigger synth voice or two multi-assigned voices with Pitch, Velcocity, and Gate.

* Self-Test. Separate checks of midi input and analog outputs verify operation and aid in set-up and trouble-shooting.

$160 total? That's like a S&H plus a noise generator! or a Minimoog style 24db ladder filter!

At some point in the future I very well may

that much work you should go wirewrap!! i'm sure he could have afforded it

anyways, i recommend paia very much.

haha you've been modularized! from now on you'll measure the value of everything in dotcom modules :D

It's like when I was a kid and everything was in terms of how many GI Joe's I could buy with X ammount of money.

Anyone in the know have a ballpark figure on what the parts for http://m.bareille.free.fr/mcv876/mcv876.html would cost? Im still looking for better MIDI -> CV on the cheapo. I like that this has pitch bend!
