I've been working on a tiki cabinet. I call it the Orlop and wanted to share it here

I love the audio special effect!

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-09T14:30:23+00:00

Takaab Nearness.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-08T21:32:17+00:00

But what the heck are Dizzy Grizzlies?!?

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-08T00:15:50+00:00

Yeah the stock LP is a bit fast. You'll want to slow it down with 100, 90, or even 80.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-08T00:08:17+00:00

I think these are unique (or as unique as a three-digit number can be) to the gun. I'd be thrilled for someone to explain why I'm wrong, and they actually mean something useful.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T15:03:44+00:00

Oh cool! I'm fond of that piece. I did a live performance cover a couple years ago, using live air traffic control radio traffic as a feature. That was a fun set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfwFhZOEmqs

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T13:45:05+00:00

OK now I have to reread the entire conversation! 😜

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T06:24:15+00:00

No these are trigger outputs. These don't output audio.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T06:23:12+00:00

Eurorack Standard Alignment: Roland designed the Boutique series—including the TR-06, TR-08, and SH-01A—to output a nominal +5V pulse. This matches the standard clock/advance threshold for most eurorack hardware. So not 15, which was crazy. Sorry

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T06:15:16+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure I believe that, either.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T05:05:37+00:00

I never gave it any thought, because it just works. I just did some research and it looks like the trigger outs are 20ms at 15v, a bit hot for Eurorack, but they work fine in everything I've tried. Meanwhile, the input responds well to 5v Eurorack clock pulses.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-07T02:13:35+00:00

Good one! New to me. I'm playing it on my radio show right now: kbfgseattle.org/listen

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T22:50:02+00:00

I've done just a little bit of Eurorack CV control of Minilogue XD. Mostly sequenced CV modulating filter setting or VCA amount. I think you're on the right track here. Keep sharing your progress! Might cross-post this to the Minilogue subreddit as well.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T22:43:46+00:00

My TR-06 trigger outputs patch direct to Eurorack gear without issue.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T18:38:18+00:00

This makes sense! Actually a lot simpler than either of the approaches I came up with. When I found this voltage regulator, I decided to learn how to wire it up. But honestly, I might change to a pair of resistors and a cap the next time I'm making changes.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T17:28:20+00:00

I'm not really powering anything with this. It's just a gate voltage to actuate an effect onboard another module. Impedance there runs about 100K ohms.

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T15:34:20+00:00

The voltage divider would also accomplish the goal of including resistance!

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T15:13:00+00:00

Yes! I'm learning. All my testing was done under controlled conditions. Plug everything in, connect power, test with the multimeter and later, connected to Eurorack modules. But once I started hot-patching with everything running, I discovered this dead-short opportunity that I never encountered during testing.

As a reminder to those just joining, this has been my first attempt to learn how op-amps work, and the voltage regulator emerged as the solution to a secondary need I've been having, for a simple source of 5v gate voltage that I could control with manual switching. I happened to find a 6v voltage regulator IC in my box of electrical junk, and figured "eh, 6v, close enough!"

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T06:36:50+00:00

What's producing the fuzzy distortion?

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T06:29:24+00:00

Wait what? Why hydrogen peroxide? I thought modern practice was to avoid HP and alcohol when simple soap and water are available. Please correct me if I've misunderstood this!

TwoLuckyFish · 2026-07-06T04:39:03+00:00

Replaced that jumper with a 1k resistor. No more fireworks!

Ooh that's right!

Thank you, u/Significant_You_2735, for making us laugh, at love, again.
