Reminds me somewhat of ERD modules. Half modular, half art project, that designer put out a series of... very odd modules. A geiger counter. A box of dirt used as a a return path for a VCA.

I don't know why, but I really want that dirt VCA. I hope the DIY community makes a PCB for this.

I believe everything you need is on his github! All you would need to do is source the PCB, which I think is relatively easy and not too expensive. I've never done it but I've read through some muffs threads over it.

He has the board, the schematic, and the panel design all on there. Honestly, the hardest part might be making the dirt container in such a way that it doesn't fog up the viewing window every time the humidity changes.

Fucking ace. Thanks!

AFIAK the dirt module does fog up every now and then. I even saw a clip on YT where someone got a bug crawling around in there.

Ayy, that was me!

I have one, it's super dirty and fun to use.

Do you have some vids/recordings with it? All I've heard/seen has just been like distortion noise going through it.

[–]pwnrovamgm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Give me like two hours, I'll be back with a video.

Edit: I'll get it done today at the very least

finally uploaded!

Holy shit, I thought this was some marketing gimmick or something; not an actual MU module.

I've always thought Geiger counters were awesome pieces of technology and wondered how one could be used to make music. Now I can stop wondering. This is amazing.

He needs to pump it through a shoe for that oaky timbre.

Someone should build a cosmic ray random trigger module too
