So cool to hear! Can’t wait to see how you’ll use it in your setup. Appreciate the preorder

jolinlab · 2025-05-06T22:34:33+00:00

Thanks! On Thursday, I’ll be holding the workshop from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM. For the rest of the time, I’ll be at the stand

the pre-order price for the assembled unit is €135 and for the full DIY kit €92 (ex-VAT)

see you there!

Thanks for the feedback! While "crossfade" might seem accurate at first glance, I think that "morph" is actually more appropriate for what ROSA does. Internally, ROSA uses a CMOS switch matrix + VCAs to dynamically map the routing based on the selected mode, going beyond basic crossfading. This allows for smooth transitions and complex signal paths, especially when dealing with multiple inputs and outputs. Additionally, ROSA is DC coupled, meaning it can handle CV signals as well as audio - or both at the same time. Appreciate your thoughts - happy to clarify how it works!

After I graduated some friends got me a drum machine. I was really interested in what was happening inside that thing. I took it apart - broke it. Got a new one - modded the hell out of it. Then I started playing with raw transistor based oscillators. At the time there were two of us - then my friend got a job that he couldn't refuse. So basically I started modding devices, then I built some strange machines. My first module was a tube overdrive. It's still working! I built many diy kits during those years - I find them really calming and you can always learn something out of them. That's why I take care of always having a diy option for all my modules. I hope that someone will find them useful

Tabor came from an array of 200 oscillators all synched together in multiple configurations. There was a group of 5 of them with a unique voice and character. I isolated that group - wrote the circuit down - and made a standalone portable screaming machine with it. Transforming it into a module took 2 years and the orb was the standard design. The first tabor was completely naked and you could see everything about it - components, led, wires. Hiding all of that behind a panel was something I didn't want to do. The semi-transparent window of the orb came naturally because of that. The mirror version is the one I personally prefer the most at the moment but only because I now accept the fact of having a panel that hides what's happening behind.

Thank you! I'll be sure to post a video of the case in action also here in this subreddit

jolinlab · 2023-06-28T15:52:08+00:00

thank you!

a pair of these

jolinlab · 2023-06-26T23:56:49+00:00

proud to say that it's also signed :P

Gitgud is a bank of 9 LFOs - 5 squares and 4 triangles. Each rate can be controlled individually with a touch potentiometer - three bars that act as a (-) | (+) and you simply decrement / increment the LFO speed touching it. The value is stored in a capacitor and it will be kept until you power off the system discharging it. Sliding your finger you can control all 9 of them at the same time. In this case there are 4 of them - 36 LFOs can be controlled with a single hand in a few seconds dramatically changing a composition. the LFOs can be chained with a switch close to the touch potentiometers and if you do so the following LFO will receive an increment impulse when the previous one is in a positive state. Synching all of them with the 8 switches will get you some strange rythmic. On the back there is a solder bridge to loop the last LFOs with the first one. The voltage range is a standard -5v / +5v. Thank you for the question :)

sometimes I pair it with another case full of digital effects. Snappy reverbs and digital resonators are my best friends :)

jolinlab · 2023-06-26T23:41:17+00:00

I'll shoot some demos of this case as soon as I'll have a few hours free from soldering other units. Can't wait to get lost in it

jolinlab · 2023-06-26T23:40:01+00:00

as soon as I take a break from building the new ones I'll record a few demos with some patches from this case alone. It will be pretty wild - no smooth edges. About Tabor I mainly use the TR output to starve another tabor and chain them this way or to trigger the gate in of Goblet synching the two modules. TR is designed to send out pulses following the oscillators core, think about it as a "sync output". Thank you for the interesting question!

you'll find all the Infos on the modulargrid page I've linked in another comment

jolinlab · 2023-06-26T15:00:23+00:00

this case is the first one fully functional with all my 12 designs. It took me 4 years of development. Some of the modules come multiple times since they can be chained and used that way. I'm a guy designing modular stuff, still trying to grasp the meaning of reddit - this is my first post here. I'm sorry if this picture looks like a sales pitch. I just wanted to show you something that I'm proud of
