Guest iep Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 hey guys, i've just started resuming work on this older project of mine called Klei. klei is dutch for playdough. i did a custom C2C frontplate and designed a few PCB modules in EagleCAD. in the upper corner you have A/D and D/A converters that can do analog-to-MIDI as well as analog-to-OSC. beneath that, a set of oscillators that oscillate in certain dynamical systems wayz (modelled after some interesting chaos systems). bottom is a weird sequencer thing that was the reason that i've set the project aside (the seq was too weird). i've tried to do as much modular as possible, sturdy 1/4" neutriks. thick toggle switches, Russian-submarine style. two crappy work-in-progress pics: Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73544-klei/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kokeboka Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Can't see the pics here, will try again later. Please do share some sound samples, the oscillator thing seems very interesting. Where did you learn to design synths? I've been unable to find good books about it, and DIY websites are usually more documental than educational.

foresense Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I know 386 assembler lol gonna try and get a design for one of those MIDIBox Sequencers and build that I think.. would be so cool to have a racked sequencer. just look at this: http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=midibox_seq.html Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide foresense's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73544-klei/#findComment-1812396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 ucaps do some great digital stuff! but i'm looking for something new. now that i'm browsing, some of their DSP is pretty affordable... thx On 5/5/2012 at 11:43 PM, missingsense said: I know 386 assembler lol I know Kung-fu Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73544-klei/#findComment-1812397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been unable to find good books about it, and DIY websites are usually more documental than educational. go get electronic engineering books,and machinery. what do you want to make? Analogue synths with my own personal twists, basically. Like say an MS-20, with a distortion circuit and an additional SEM-like filter. Or a polyphonic OSCar with 2 LFO's. I have a copy of Craig Anderton's Electronic Projects For Musicians but the book doesn't really cover how to build a synthesizer from scratch, it's more geared towards preamps and stompboxes, that sort of thing. Pretty cool sounds, btw. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73544-klei/#findComment-1812603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i'm not too much into synthesizer's, though i've built a couple. my fav ones are the one in the geiger counter and in the old other box. anyhow this is all shit and giggles, doing analog chaotic systems was a big thing of mine but ended up doing all the modelling in MATLAB--a good tool for designing osc's. this is a weird prototype that will spawn children :) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73544-klei/#findComment-1813267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i think the initial frontplate is a hideous mess and i don't think i cba to do a 2nd one :)) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73544-klei/#findComment-1813268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
