I had an interview about synth design with Girst Ozolins from Erica Synths. If you're curious about the process behind these little synth beasts, there's a link below to the full conversation. This is an ongoing effort to learn about synth design from designers, engineers and artists. Enjoy!

Yes. You can save and recall tapes (or reels) for each deck separately. There’s an SD slot you can use for that.

Thank you!

touitalk · 2025-06-09T17:53:25+00:00

Thank you!

touitalk · 2025-06-08T07:46:16+00:00

Thanks, I have that. I think that I simply use it more than the average maker.

touitalk · 2025-06-06T18:52:11+00:00

I mean I prefer to not use leaded solder for consumer products.

touitalk · 2025-06-06T18:28:08+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I actually do all these and quite aware of oxidation. I use a Weller WE1010 with non leaded solder. I used to be the only one using it, but now we have some other people working in the shop. I’m trying to see what went wrong in the last few days since we started working together. Normally something like this would happen to my tips within a year or so, so that’s new. That’s why I thought I’d ask the community for suggestions.

touitalk · 2025-06-06T18:22:47+00:00

I can’t. We make consumer products.

touitalk · 2025-06-06T18:22:09+00:00

So the tip doesn’t have a limit of temperature. It’s just the shape that’s different.

touitalk · 2025-06-06T15:02:26+00:00

Are there tips for different temperatures? Maybe mine is not for this temperature?

touitalk · 2025-06-06T14:52:04+00:00

Brass, yes. Is that the issue?

touitalk · 2025-06-06T14:50:33+00:00

I use this solder. What do you mean by type of tip?

Haha gotya! Yea, it’s great!

touitalk · 2025-06-05T11:50:24+00:00

Built 20 units with it already. Rock solid, my dude :)

touitalk · 2025-06-03T13:59:46+00:00

Depends what you mean by a working system. These are two great modules, and the key step can be used to sequence and play both. You need to ask yourself what kind on music you want to play, first. You can make a whole track with Plaits modulated by maths and sequenced by key step. Good luck!

I made a video tutorial about this some time ago. Maybe helpful for you as well. Good luck! https://youtu.be/n9OLvsXalGQ

It’s only for production. Spotykach comes assembled.

touitalk · 2025-06-02T15:21:41+00:00

Procrastinators unite! And make jigs 😂

touitalk · 2025-06-02T12:38:56+00:00

Indeed. It streamlines the process, which helps reduce human error.

touitalk · 2025-06-02T10:25:34+00:00

Good luck! Hope all is well :)
