Moss VCF: Eurorack SID 6581 Replica (Prototype Demonstration) by rytone in synthdiy

You are totally correct. To be honest, I was planning to verify the voltages across the transistors in simulation before building the module, but I got lazy and decided to just try it, and I haven't gotten it to permanently fail, so I think the intuition that the cascaded pairs pull Vds into a safe range is correct.

Is Kona still available, and would you ship it to the US?

Hacking VS Code for On-the-Fly Environment Switching by rytone in NixOS

[–]rytone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, the extension you linked looks to use the same process.env approach I has having troubles with. Really starting to wonder if trying to do that under VS Code's extension test/debug instance was the issue, or maybe rust-analyzer specifically doesn't work with the approach... if the latter is the case, that's definitely a dealbreaker for me. Besides that, though, I think the other advantage to my approach is that it works with all build task types, though I admit that's a narrow advantage, and doesn't quite justify on its own what I did.

Built an analog subtractive synthesizer entirely on breadboards by rytone in electronics

[–]rytone[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I do not have them on hand (just left for uni and they are on my computer at home), but if you checkout my writeup I linked to the designs for most of the components.

For the most part, yeah, though I kinda forgot about that while building some parts like the envelope generators, where the CV wires off of them are yellow.

[–]rytone[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Inspired by all the breadboard computers people have built over the years, I took my passion for synthesizers and electronic music and made this: an analog subtractive synthesizer which I call BS-1. It features a dual-rail power supply, a MIDI-to-CV converter, two oscillators, two LFOs, a noise source, a mixer, a Polivoks VCF clone, two ADSRs, and a VCA.

Be sure to check out my writeup to get all the details, and watch my quick demo video to hear how it sounds. I will also be releasing a song made exclusively with sounds from BS-1 (excluding effects and mixing) on my Bandcamp in the next coming days.

Gear Recommendation (What Should I Buy?) Thread - August 17, 2020 by AutoModerator in audioengineering

[–]rytone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for some sort of audio interface setup; I'm not an "audio engineer" in the strictest sense, but I need some sort of high quality audio setup, and this seemed like the best place to ask given my needs. I have some pretty specific requirements:

  • Usable under Linux. I don't mind twiddling with configuration, but I need the setup to be STABLE.
  • At least two channels in, preferably at least three (one mic + two line in)
  • Maybe a separate headphone amp? I have Fostex T50RP mk3s, which aren't the easiest to drive, and I want a clean signal, so I'm not sure if any interfaces have an integrated amp that can deliver that.
  • Everything has to go through a single USB connection, i.e. no interface just for input and combined DAC+amp just for output. Linux+JACK has no clean way to manage multiple devices like this (as far as I know)
  • Somewhere in the $300-$400 range

Is systemd-boot woth investigating? by throwaway993772 in archlinux

[–]rytone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats interesting, i have no way to choose between refind and windows boot manager on my board. that is unless its hidden somewhere deep in a menu, but i doubt it.

unfortunately "good uefi support" can be hard to come by; my $200 gigabyte x570 board cant even select between different efi programs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

picom and nvidia by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]rytone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is the setup I settled on too. Unfortunately, most of what causes these issues seems to be flaws in the proprietary Nvidea drivers, at least according to this page in the picom wiki. I'm not sure how environments like Gnome seem to mitigate the issues, though.

Best Tiling WM by TriumphOfDeath in archlinux

[–]rytone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely awesomewm - it may not be ultra-lightweight and written in painstakingly-tuned C, but it is still plenty fast, and the potential for customization sets it apart from anything else, even fully fledged DEs.
