Missed Goncharov Day a little and it's still a work in progress, but here's a little snippet that I've got so far

Quad test was successful. :3 The overarching plan is to use the modular for sound generation and VCV for sequencing and routing/panning, working up to using four voices, as that's what the interface I'm using will work with. Next steps include: - Rethink and then overthink everything about speaker placement. - Build two more stands for the speakers currently on the desk, as they're too close together - Find my book of notes and do some work on sequencing for the NSYNTHI quad panner, it's a pretty groovy little module and will be central (haha) to the whole project - Make a chorus out of a delay and LFO module so I can replicate them and have one for each speaker, quad chorus, baby! - Make a binaural mic, I should probably do this sooner rather than later so I can record sound for video... - Fix the scaling on my oscillators, it's been months and a move since I did it last, the poor babies! - Consider some room treatment??? - Relearn the psychoacoustics necessare to make things sound nlike they're coming from outside the circle of speakers, or cheat and buy the VCV plugin host module and do it with the TDL Distance plugin, lols.

For a first check if the concept is sound, I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

You want to learn how to make/use modular synthesizers?

Boy, do I have the tool for you!

Through my hyperfixation on those a few weeks back I found out that 1) those fuckers are fucking expensive and 2) if you don't know what which do and don't have the right tools on the side you won't be able to do anything and lose a lot of money

The solution to those problems is...

VCV Rack 2

VCV Rack 2 is a free eurorack system that allows you to mount whatever modular synthesizer rack you want. It not only has a free (and very complete) version (a pro version exists too though) but it has a wide library!

You start with the VCV Rack library, which actually is good enough to start, but you can (and should) also add anything from the library that you want. I just checked as I am writing and there are "2,494 modules found" in the free category. Yes, yes, you read that right.

To be able to add modules to your VCV Rack, however, you'll need to make an account, but that is just to link the module/brand you added/subscribed to the program you installed. You also have to add/subscribe first, then go to VCV to update the modules. Updating them will lead to the program closing, so if you're following along a video, look at which modules/brands are used so you don't have to leave and come back during the follow-along.

Installing VCV Rack is really easy, you just need to go on the website and select the version you want!

And the library is here!

In order to understand VCV Rack a bit better and do your first racks, I made a small playlist made out of the four 30-50 minute long videos from Red Means Recording, and one video from Omri Cohen. I really like what Red Means Recording does, but it's not just VCV. Omri Cohen has a lot more VCV stuff though.

Here is the link.

I also suggest this video by Andrew Huang to understand what is modular synthesis.

Finally, to understand what does which thing in modular synthesis, you can check out this cool lesson with which you can interact! (by Ableton) (also check your sound volume haha, don't destroy your ears)

You also have a nice little playground to test what you've learned!

-

I am only starting all that and understand only a fragment of modular synthesis, so if you have more videos and guides, hit me up so I can add them (and even make a masterpost?)

Also (and especially) if you have guides and explanations and follow-along videos made by trans people, TELL ME!

I went down to the Makerspace tonight. Mostly I went to donate a rotary tool I had lying around — the ones in the shop had wandered off at some point, and this is, like, my third spare (I've still got two Dremel branded ones, one corded and one cordless, and a Black&Decker model from back when that was more respectable) — but since I was there, I decided to just build something simple and probably dumb.

So I roughly carved the shapes of piano keys into this bit of copper-clad fiberglass with the rotary tool, just freehanding the job. Each key is connected to the next one by a 100kΩ resistor, forming a chain of voltage dividers. Unseen, hanging off the wires at the far right, is a potentiometer. (In the photo it's hooked to my bench power supply; I've since added a Eurorack power connector to dangle off the back.)

What you do is put 12 volts across the pads at the back — positive to the right and ground to the left — and turn the pot so the voltage between the high C pad and ground is 1V. That sets the tuning for the whole keyboard. With the single resistor between that C key and the key next to it, the voltage divider is 1×100k over 11×100k, which yields a voltage of 11/12V. The Bb has 2 up and 10 down, or 10/12V, and so on down until Db has 1/12V, and we've got a complete octave of an equal-tempered scale in the Eurorack standard of volt-per-octave. I'm intending to use it like a stylophone, and simply use a patch cable to whatever input to tap on the keys with.

Of course, this is gonna be not very good. The resistors can vary by ±1% of their 100kΩ value, and I did nothing to try to better that; the pot is a single-turn model that'll take a lot to tune to exactly 1V, and that voltage may drift with temperature or other factors. It's a very silly build. But when I just tested it with a bench power supply and the multimeter, it managed to have voltage values in the right ballpark, and I'm not expecting more than that. We'll see if I can plink out a tune on the thing.

Holy crap. I stumbled onto this sound entirely by accident and I absolutely love it. I was originally playing around with unfiltered square waves for like a chiptune effect, but the effects weren't coming out quite right. The part that gets me is this is just a mono voice with a little bit of chorus, Marbles and Chronoblob are doing all the heavy lifting. Like there's a reason why they're my favorites and I really want to build my own versions of them

Here's a look at the Morphagene patch I was using last night. Morphagene (playing a field recording I made years ago of some kids on a playground) into QPAS into Mimeophon into Desmodus Versio, then into the output module and out to the MPC. Modulation from Triple Sloth and Function. Planar 2 and a Lightstrip offering hands-on control.

It was beautiful.

Many visitors visiting has meant I've had to leave the dungeon in a slightly-powered, wrapped up state for a while. Cable sorting was fun, though! I'm only about 20 cables shy of what I'll eventually need, I've never had the spacer to plug everything in at once before.
