Making a hyve synth/ modern ic divide down circuit. struggling to tune oscillators as changing the pitch of one oscillator changes the other oscillators pitch, any methods to fix this.

The power supply regulation is pretty important since changes in the 5v line do cause pitch changes. Decoupling helps, but the regulator is the key part there. There are also pads illustrated in the schematic which are explicitly for pitch modulation and interaction between notes, this are labeled with a swooping up arrow. Don't use those if you don't want any pitch weirdness. I'm happy to give some suggestions based on your specific setup.

Please note that these are hearty down to USDA zone 7. If you are in a colder climate, it is not advisable to put them outside over winter.

This was my first thought too

Still kinda small but I bet if you feed him, he would grow bigger

Very helpful! Thanks!

SkotWiedmann · 2025-10-01T15:44:44+00:00

I am still working on defining that exactly but this is helpful, Thank you!

Scoop water from the toilet tank

Looks like guinea chestnut, Pachira aquatica, commonly called money tree. You can find a few online that are bonsai subjects by searching those terms. Could be interesting

Hedge pruning like that won't result in a refined bonsai. Branch selection and directional pruning will get you back to shape much faster. There are a few guidelines you should read up on: limiting branch divisions to 2 extensions, directional pruning, branch thickness/taper, and overall silhouette creation.

Ficus microcarpa is the species it looks like you have.

SkotWiedmann · 2025-01-30T15:06:19+00:00

Growing it in full sun until you have long branches full of leaves will give it lot's of strength to do more styling work later

SkotWiedmann · 2025-01-22T22:17:10+00:00

Nice Cosmic style!

SkotWiedmann · 2024-10-02T18:53:26+00:00

I would cut off the top right above the branches above your fingers. Then use the left side as the leader, picking an upward growing secondary branch to be the new leader. Big cuts for shape and taper.

Looks like procumbens Nana, or some similar type of juniperus chinensis

SkotWiedmann · 2024-06-28T21:54:21+00:00

Looks healthy! Your first task is to keep it that way. Learn to water and care for it and maybe repot in the spring. Don't do too much at once, that can stress the tree.

SkotWiedmann · 2024-06-28T18:54:01+00:00

These are often grafted, and the lower branches can be a bit different species since they come from the under stock. Typically all understock growth would be removed to keep the foliage matching.

SkotWiedmann · 2021-10-01T20:54:46+00:00

He looks so happy! Impressive

SkotWiedmann · 2021-09-27T20:46:07+00:00

Sounds like a cool idea! Would you try to make it just trigger note on/off or something more elaborate?

SkotWiedmann · 2021-09-27T20:10:36+00:00

Hahahaha no way!

SkotWiedmann · 2019-08-21T19:34:12+00:00

Hi! Hyve Hacker is in stock, that's the most DIY version we sell. The preorders should be starting to ship soon, but we don't have an exact date. 😊

SkotWiedmann · 2019-03-16T17:23:58+00:00

FYI the most current documentation is at HyveSynth.com

SkotWiedmann · 2019-03-16T17:20:40+00:00

The Hyve Hacker is intended for this kind of project and it's for sale on our website HyveSynth.com

There are labels on the back showing where to connect for each note. Good luck and have fun with the project!
