All things that make music magic to me.

Styles Upon Styles. Build a breadboard power module. Breadboard power modulesimplify prototyping integrated circuitsby runoffgroove.com When I began building effects, I built directly on perfboard and sometimes, I had never before heard the circuit. This led to, on a few occasions, being disappointed with the sound and later de-soldering the valuable parts and throwing away the rest. Other times, I would want to modify various components and would need the soldering iron for that as well.

I soon purchased a small breadboard to facilitate proper prototyping and experimentation. I was able to explore all possibilities of a circuit and make a more educated decision on whether I should commit the project to perfboard. However, since my breadboard is small (but usually accommodates the complexity of circuits I'm interested in) I find it a bit "crowdy" with high-parts count projects. I decided to build an off-board voltage divider with three leads: +9 volts, 4.5 volts, and ground (earth).

OP-1 - Introduction - Teenage Engineering. Synthesizer and controller 8 built-in synthesizer engines, multiple effects and LFO’s. And some really unique sequencers ready to explore.Connect it to your computer and control your DAW with the common play, stop, rec, forward and rewind. Use the 4 rotary encoders and 8 x 2 dedicated quick keys for fast selections. Built in 4-track tape Record everything on the built in 4-track tape. All in one portable OP-1 is the all-in-one portable Synthesizer, Sampler and Controller. Drag and drop When plugged to a mac/pc using USB, the OP-1 shows up as a mass storage device. Announcing the Tetrafol. Fol Chen has joined forces with Monome and Machine Project to bring you the Tetrafol.

The Tetrafol is a hand-held tangible electronic sound toy. Circuits enclosed by a wooden tetrahedron detect orientation and motion-gestures to modify the playback of a collection of Fol Chen’s micro-compositions, allowing the user to explore sound through physical manipulation. The battery-powered device has its own internal speaker but can additionally be hooked up to a headphone or amplifier. The circuit and firmware are based on open-source hardware and is itself published as open-source, allowing anyone interested to learn about its deepest inner-workings. Hardware and software source code available here This is a LIMITED EDITION OF 100. The Tetrafol is officially SOLD OUT! For questions or further information email tetrafol.info[at]gmail.com.
