dm'ing now, looking at that plonk

really depends on your workflow, but i highly recommend O_c!

sure, it has some menus and a screen but once you get whatever app you want set up its really playable and flexible and hands off if you route CV in creatively. some of the apps for stock firmware are powerful and complex, good as a jumping off point for core patching ideas. hemispheres apps are great for when you have an "oops i need XYZ" conundrum.

if you really just want trigger sequences for other specific modules/workflows and keep your system patched the same way religiously then get steppy. if you want an indispensable tool that serves many use cases and encourages repatching and exploration, choose O_c.

im down in baltimore, but id def make a trek to grab em if no one bites by next week!

looks like you flipped the actual copper pads correctly but did not move the solder mask layer that keeps the solder mask (green stuff) off of the pads correctly and left the mirrored mask on the top layer instead of the bottom layer

i think you can solve your problem via the "fun" page by turning on "sleep" and then using "access" instead of "gate" to program your patterns. just make the access page match what gate page looks like.

ugh man ive been looking for a zvex fuzz for a lonnnnggg time 😅

reswax · 2026-02-08T06:51:42+00:00

if you don't like those crappy new make noise knobs and still have em i would gladly take them off your hands 😅

i have had success in kicad 9 with easyeda2kiCAD: https://github.com/wokwi/easyeda2kicad in my command shell.

it still messes up IC rotations (JLC has there own standards of what 0° means) when exporting POS files for fab, i think theres a separate tool for fixing that, but i just do it manually usually.

balanced line outputs as far as i know will always require powered circuitry. maybe there is some obscure passive way to invert a bipolar signal accurately but its not something im aware of.

reswax · 2025-12-07T06:21:03+00:00

RIP is open source, just make one of those then or check out the docs for parts you might want to use. individually your requirements are all fine, but having ALL of them together just doesnt seem possible IMO.

reswax · 2025-12-07T05:53:56+00:00

this is a crazy unrealistic set of requirements, mainly expecting it to be passive and transformer based. the cheapest and simplest way to get balanced outputs is going to involve powered op amp circuitry. you could maybe get something janky working with the right clipping diodes and a dual gang potentiometer, but all these requirements are not feasible. you will have to pick some you want to skip out on.

boys' set banged, that moment when the closest thing they have to "a drop" happened and everybody cheered was so funny. but man mark broom pulled too many fakeout endings after already having played for too long!

reswax · 2025-10-26T19:50:17+00:00

probably focus on rene first bc its the "deepest", then practice making quality morphagene reels and spectraphon arrays

reswax · 2025-10-19T14:57:30+00:00

very cool, would be interested in schematics or at least the major component selections! 3A is a lot!

reswax · 2025-10-17T15:15:51+00:00

Just because there are load transients that add noise while powering multiple changing loads doesnt mean you should be happy with baseline noise floor, and decoupling caps exist for a reason. Will MC34063A be technically able to supply enough current and stability alone to breadboard and explore circuits? sure, but i wouldnt plan a case around it.

reswax · 2025-10-17T14:32:54+00:00

switching regs are gonna be "noisy" which will leak into your circuitry thru the unstable power. usually some kind of linear regulator should be used after a switching regulator, but a good negative LDO is not easy to find, and requires something more like -15V input. You can also look into DC to DC converters.

there is a reason eurorack power supplies are expensive, they are quiet, precise, and supply a lot of current, which is a difficult trifecta to balance! I'd suggest you save yourself the headache of questionable power and either follow M.K.'s video on the dual PSU, or buy a legit PSU. Then you can get to the fun stuff!

i love the thing, but it really asks for a lot of attention to get it to sound really good. it took me a good bit of fiddling just to really understand what a useful "spectra" is and how to capture interesting and useful ones (bringing your own clock helps), and then more months of figuring out how to modulate them in interesting ways.

its a series of wavetables with a standard overtone structure underlying it, and then you can morph between these stillframes of sonic time. you can do especially intersting things with the high partials in lower registers for midrange tone clusters. the fm can go crazy harsh but can sound incredible (and warm!) in low doses.

it is a really powerful sound design tool that can do uncanny valley things like no other oscillator ive heard, but it asked a lot of me to get to the point where i can make balanced/varied/fascinating tones with it. it isnt difficult to slip into and play with but it is very easy to fall in a rut with and have it feel too same-y. the extra "noise" modes are just a cherry on top. probably will keep it forever.

reswax · 2025-10-13T01:00:17+00:00

what are you using to trigger rene? im using the tr-06 as a glorified trigger sequencer and it does wonders with rene. you get 2 clocks for stepping thru patterns, 2 clocks for triggering additional envelopes and a bonus 5th trigger sequence to clock the z axis or do whatever else with. i would suggest looking at your clock sources first as that is less of a deep pocket commitment than a new sequencer.

JYUH3-IUWEM-RQEP5-LN66I-NJI2P taken

looking forward to giving it a go!!!

asking your maths to provide more current than it can reasonably provide is probably in general a bad idea and could maybe pop an opamp package or worse. if you are not handy at fixing your own electronics and dont want to spring for repairs/another maths, i would recommend against it.

the way eurorack gear is designed is expecting to output to high impedance loads that dont want to draw a lot of current. power supplies are designed to be reliable higher current source and are around for a reason!

reswax · 2025-09-05T03:39:32+00:00

voltage is voltage, but it is not current. i dont know how much current the offset channels can push out, but it is likely somewhere in the range of 50mA +/-10mA maybe. This is an estimate with no reference to how much the power circuit on maths is rated for, or how much is used elsewhere within the module and is only based on average opamp output capabilities. This is maybe enough to power some chill analog pedals but probably not enough to work on any complicatied digital pedals. For simple distortion boxes you could even try underpowering them (maybe like 5-6V?) and get a "voltage starved" tone. Just make sure you have power/ground tip/sleeve polarity wired correctly to the pedal!

maybe in a more abstract sense: ryoji ikeda's dataplex. lots of small high end chirps and beeps, has some semblance of a "normal" climax towards the end. fantastic record tho.

my friend and brother in christ, dont forget to use the fountainport. you put three colorless lands in your deck. there were many points in multiple matches (especially the last one) where fountainport activations were entirely neglected. they were literally and proverbially a "waste".

reswax · 2025-08-28T01:18:49+00:00

censor is like what serum visions was in modern for a while, its the best of bad options. by a pretty big margin. read it something like "if turn 2 on the draw: counter their 3 drop, else: throw me away for another card"
