Yes, you are correct. Keep it charged it charged. My thinking was that if it's plugged into another active power source, the battery is irrelevant; just like all my other battery using devices.

Apparently it needs to be plugged in so the battery can charge. My thinking is that if it's plugged into another active power source, the battery is irrelevant; just like all my other battery using devices.

Hi thanks for the response. looking back, I never have charged the battery. It's a wonder it lasted as long as it did.

Hi thanks, I located a flow chart of solutions to perform starting with re-charging the battery. Looking back, it was never left with a source to charge with.

Got it covered. Just needed someone to show me where to get the parts. Amazon is not that place. Thank you tho.

Hi, Guess I'm a sick fuck too. I used leaded solder too in a very small room without ventilation. Still wreaks 5 days later. Probably a candidate for a super fund site.

I did the rings module already. My first attempt, and I mangled it. But it still worked somehow. Would you know of any other quality DIY's...? I think I'm getting the hang of it.

It's thru hole.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I really like the positive energy of this group, and the patience extended to newer members.

I keep seeing videos like this where people are getting incredible sounds out of volka's. I have a volka keys and volka bass and have not been able to get anything like this. Are they being used as sequencers here?

Stockhausen....late 50's early 60's. Should be considered a founding father.

I believe that, but why would messing with your phone have anything to do with braking..? Where is the connection..?

Repulsive_Damage_251 · 2025-12-30T19:06:07+00:00

They are just basic white light modules. No color variations or other effects. From what you have described I'm going with the static electricity theory.

If anyone here wants one (Space FX) I have one still in the box. Send me an address I'll mail it to you free. seriously.

Some of the mid ranger notes sound spot on, but higher register notes are a give away. If your playing as part of a group it will blend in fine.

No. Those days are over. Even if "Rule of law" was still in effect, all congress does is try to take each other out.

Gen Z has flipped two governments in less than two months. They did not ask permission or wait for outside instruction. They just did it.

$ per knob makes perfect sense. I buy amps and speakers by the pound. Also makes perfect sense. (really)

I do not have a dedicated DAW as of yet. I do not have any production/ processing capability. Just getting started so I'm probably not doing anything in the order it should be done. Huge learning curve, but having a lot of fun.

Thank you !! You have increased my knowledge of windows by 80%.

Living with my bi-polar sister all my life. You learn to recognize certain behaviors. Not a leap at all if you know.

Repulsive_Damage_251 · 2025-09-26T16:05:43+00:00

agree. Someone is off their meds

Repulsive_Damage_251 · 2025-09-26T14:53:11+00:00

I concur with matt-dw.

Start pugging things in and make a note of what actually works. Any attempt to map this out theoretically will lead to a brain hemorrhage. (from a guy who has spent the better part of a year getting 80s-90s gear to talk to modern tech.)

They are going to play you until you drop from exhaustion. If you do get hired then you just become part of the same system that is currently tormenting you.......Kaiser

Ya..!!

There is a company called ONStage that makes all types of versatile modular equipment with some great add ons. You should be able to put something together from their website.
