All set up at Synth East! :D

A little something I've been cooking up behind the scenes! If you're going to be at Synth East next month, you can try it out in person at my table :D

Found a 32GB USB drive hidden away in a cubby hole in my car, presumably from the previous owners. It's full of music and movies pirated a decade ago. Including jpeg logos of the warez groups who seeded the torrents. Oh, what a time capsule of a more innocent age. xD

Oh hey up there, wasn't expecting to see you in these parts O:

The grand release is just around the corner! Please join me at 8pm GMT for the unveiling on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCe04hYQ-ss

Oh hey, first time I've been on the top of ModularGrid in a while :3c

I know for a fact that this is the right place to ask this question. :P Because I'm in a 'get my shit together' kind of mood lately, I finally ordered a new SSD to replace the failing one in my (ex-enterprise) laptop. I had Ubuntu on there last time, but since I'm starting over fresh, I'm […]

Well... Got a spot of bad news, were having to delay the launch video of Cryfder by a few days. Still going to be a DivKid premiere, still going to be tons of fun, but now happening on Sunday 7th December!

Sorry I've been much quieter on here than usual! The app I normally use started crashing every time it opened one day, and it's taken me this long to install a replacement.

Big news!! :D

Big news!! :D

Here it is... The official teaser trailer for Cryfder, my newest Eurorack module! To be released very soon!

Been a while since I treated myself to a tape. ^^

Time to see if my VCO idea works ~

Got my demo unit together ready for Machina Bristronica! If you're going, do say hi! ^^

The Accursed Mountains are really quite special, don't let the name fool you ^^

Stunning views from up high on the Rozafa Fortress :3

[Alcohol/food mention] Big lighting storm today. Going to last until tomorrow morning, apparently. So stuck in the villa for a bit. Time to put on Netflix and have wine and dark chocolate. :P

Visited a restaurant on a farm, where everything that's served is either from the farm itself or one of its neighbours o:

Boat trip! :D

[Food/drink] Affogato. :3

Walked out to an abandoned private island, and was rewarded with some great views and some marine archaeology!

Good views from the Montenegrin border.

Sheep beach!

Could get used to this. 🇦🇱

Has anyone had any success repairing broken pins? Doesn't look solderable, so would prob need to grind down the packaging... I'll probably take my chances trying to get another one anyway, but it is annoying as I know this one at least did work and seemed […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Two of them!

Just curious if anyone can help out - Does anyone have knowledge of whether a BBC Micro 3.5" floppy is formatted the same way as a conventional DOS one? Work has asked me to attempt to extract some old software (written in BBC BASIC back in the day) to PC, with the hope of opening it in […]

Mmm. I should really put this one out for beta and get it on the market, shouldn't I? I've been sitting on Cryfder for so long now. xD

Did perhaps the most 'traditional' piece of synth DIY I've ever undertaken. Took a whole lot of bodging, especially to get it to play nicely with Eurorack. :P

Double rainbow, all the way across the sky!

@Gogledd what a treat to see your #euroack #deuawd module (alongside #Pas-Isle ) featured on #theunperson over on YT this week. I really love Allie’s presentations and your module sounds fantastic! So cool! #ElectronicMusic #ModularSynth #music https://youtu.be/jT_WtzPuJA4

Please join me in a few hours, at 8:30 PM GMT, for the public launch of my latest Eurorack module, Deuawd! There will be a fantastic video by The Unperson, with live chat: https://youtu.be/jT_WtzPuJA4?si=18S9EWM3I87rNe-I

My mum accidentally bought an Eid Al-Adha cake for my sister's 30th, because she thought 'Eid Mubarak' was the name of the baker on the website she ordered it from. I'm losing my mind. xD

They are Vicious.

Exciting news!!

Assembled a tiny skiff case of sequencers, quantisers and other kinds of melody-makers... Gave it a test run. :3

I have a USB-C device that *should* be showing up as a drive... But for some reason, Windows only wants to detect it as a USB serial device :/ (It's a Raspberry Pi based Eurorack module that I'm trying to update the firmware on) Does anyone know how I can fix that?

Been messing around with using the two outputs if Deuawd as X and Y inputs on my 'scope!

My next Eurorack module is almost here! I recorded a little walkthrough video on how it works and what kinds of sounds it can help you make - Check it out! Due for release... Some time after Superbooth. I'll post more details when I'm sure of them. :P […]

Getting a little something ready for after Deuawd is released. ;3 Yes, another prototype, and yes that is a vacuum tube!

It's taken me a long time to find the time to get round to it, but I *finally* drilled a bunch of holes in this empty cabinet and mounted a proper Doepfer PSU in there! This will be my new main Eurorack case :D I still have some DIY modules to make, but I've put […] [Original post on meow.social]

I thought this would be an easy fix - using a Pi Zero-format RP2040 board in my MiniDexed EuroRack module... ... but it ended up an afternoon of frustration and unfortunately I still can't get it making sound or booting reliable. It does look cool though :) […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The VCO is happening on breadboard ~

I've seen hares running past my office window on *three* occasions today alone. They're getting pretty bold these days. :P

The sakura in the back garden is going for it O:

Came up with a very neat, minimal parts count, sorta-discrete-sorta-not sawtooth core VCO design today (based on Yamaha CS-series and various ARP designs), which I thought might be another lovely simple module to try and bring to life after Deuawd and Cryfder. Though... My concern is that even […]
