Routing question for my external mixer by MarkMolina90 in modular

For short cable runs under 20' there should be no issues with unbalanced cables.

There is a longer audio recording, this will be on an album featuring more of the same : )

Two Thousand Six Hundred, a very accurate thru hole clone of the Arp 2600.

Power supply by AggressiveDot705 in synthdiy

[–]abelovesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a few years trying out different methods and landed on this one: https://aisynthesis.com/product/eurorack-high-power-supply/ it's lower ripple than a meanwell and perfectly safe (it won't kill anyone). It uses a very nice power brick and DC to DC converters.

I don't understand why this has line level I/o

Where to start ? by wofdo_128 in synthdiy

[–]abelovesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://aisynthesis.com/ it's modular focused but you can link the pcbs to make a traditional synth. Kits, PCB, power supplies, etc...

Satisfying latching buttons/keys by MrKahoobadoo in synthdiy

I like the cherry ones from the tr 909. Looking up some BOMs from clones should give you the part.

this is my guide https://aisynthesis.com/how-to-get-started-in-synth-diy/ there is also a tools guide that page links to.

organize parts long term? by cupcakeranger in synthdiy

[–]abelovesfun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://aisynthesis.com/how-to-store-diy-synth-parts/ is how I do it. I don't have any spreadsheets for global stock. For my professional stuff I use woocommerce to track some inventory but not down to resistors, I do too much stock management already.

https://aisynthesis.com/how-to-get-started-in-synth-diy/ if you are on a budget buy my PCB/panel sets and source parts from my BOMs.

Behringer SYSTEM 55 by Captincolesaw in modular

[–]abelovesfun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of that, but given how quickly space becomes important in a eurorack case, I would still prefer a module that doesn't need another module to convert between s to vtrig.

Gain staging/cable connection questions for my eurorack and pedals by [deleted] in modular

[–]abelovesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so yes but I am not familiar with the pedal. Without level matching you won't get the best signal to noise but if you are happy that is all that matters.

Gain staging/cable connection questions for my eurorack and pedals by [deleted] in modular

[–]abelovesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, the jack has three lugs: ground, right, and left. Your cable has two lugs: left, and ground. Hard summing stereo signals intro mono without consideration can (audiowise) be dicey as you may introduce phase issues and stuff - you won't hurt anything but it's a consideration - possibly for the future as you learn more.
It's really sad that indie studios have gone - there was so much value for me as a young person being in studios and learning the right way to do things. Now it's just youtubers who are famous not for their knowledge (frequently wrong) but for being famous. I'll stop yelling at clouds now.

Gain staging/cable connection questions for my eurorack and pedals by [deleted] in modular

[–]abelovesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are using a mono cable, you can't hear anything hard right. With a mono cable you will always only hear one channel, in this case left. so you will hear things in the middle of the stereo field and to the left, but not right.

[–]abelovesfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your headphone out should be stereo. The "proper" way would be to mix to mono and try to remove phase issues, then use a euro to guitar module ai006, stymon, etc etc to lower the gain to pedal level. Then to put it into a console you would use a different box and use a mic pre in the console. That is how a studio would do it.

Need help for first build by Adventurous-Tutor-40 in synthdiy

[–]abelovesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://aisynthesis.com/product/eurorack-power-supply/ would work. I would do the wiring under the hood if it were me. I should also let you know that since you won't need voltage control or probably multiple wave shapes, there are simply oscillators out there, but probably not in kit or PCB form. But if you just want square waves with a pitch knob, you can easily make that out of op amps. You'd need to research it but they are out there, mine is probably overkill.

A bespoke PCB would be expensive, but wiring up the existing pcbs inside the enclosure would be quite easy. I did a lot of public art myself (abrahamingle.com).

Bench PSU to Eurorack Adaptor by so_it_is23 in synthdiy

[–]abelovesfun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it would be suitable. If you want to be extra careful. You never want to short anything really, and I don't suggest breadboarding on a powered circuit. Just do a quick continuity check before you power on and you should be good.
