If you want to go that direction , i would really recommend checking out , Make noise , Verbos and Endorphin.es in Eurorack. It would be up your street. Many flavours to choose from.
of course! i think iâll Go with the doepfer line of Buchla modules or hopefully the behringer maths and other modules drop soon
http://www.makenoisemusic.com/synthesizers/ohcoast definately check these out too!

Latest purchase âmusicâ related: found a bunch of old 709 opamps at a electronic components store. They were probably sitting there for several decades. Manufactured in week 39 of 1973.
Now I can make a âCrackle Boxâ, check this video what it is. Yay, Iâm excited!
Nice! Ever played the landscape stereo field? Its kind of similar im told.
@Zifor: Watched some videos, yes, there are similarities between the âCrackle Boxâ and the âLandscape Stereo Fieldâ. On the other hand, the âCrackle Boxâ is way older and itâs a simple circuit, really. Although there are other ways to make something similar like the âCrackle Boxâ, itâs nice to make it just like the original version with that old opamp. Thatâs why Iâm so happy I found some.
Looks like fun to play with the âLandscape Stereo Fieldâ (a bit pricey though), but it seems itâs limited the sounds it creates and how you control it. For DIY, I have some ideas how to make a digital, 8 bit monophonic synth (not to be confused with âchiptuneâ). On one hand it should sound cold and harsh, deliberately, and with digital artefacts. But on the other hand, it should offer a nice variety of sonic possibilities., more than the very simple digital circuits produce. In this thread Iâm asking for info about the M:S, it has to do with the same project. Old school EBM, electro industrial as an inspiration, but I also like things like âWitch Houseâ especially what people from Russia are doing with it. I would like to use some elements of that too. So a digital sonic refrigerator would be useful.
Thereâs one for sale ATM here in Finland. Costs 450âŹ, but Iâm very tempted despite that.
That would be amazing! I tend to use my pro biscuit to achieve that sort of sound. Or if you are into euro the harvestman electronics modules would be right up your street!
@Zifor: Everytime I hear âmodularâ or "Eurorackâ I be like:
Because I know when I start with that, Iâll be broke really really fast.
But seriously, I do follow a bit whatâs going on in the modular world and there is some really cool stuff out there. I like to do DIY, wayback I started with stompboxes for our guitarist when I was the vocalist in a band.
Yeah I ended up paying 350 with shipping⌠if it turns out useful Iâll probably make a post about it. There was also one in terrible condition for 200 with ship but I didnât want to mess with that considering my knowledge in fixing tape machines is pretty much change the belts and make basic adjustments.

DIY definately the way to go or else youâll end up broke all the time ( like me). I have b&g shared system by MN and I am starting a skiff to expand it. Then another to get frap tools modules next year. Itâs a slippery slope but there is nothing quite like it!
@Zifor: Yes, and sometimes people have no options. Watch this, thereâs only one shop on his continent selling modules, too expensive anyways so he decided to go the DIY route. Pretty neat.
Looks like youâre getting deeper into it, if I started, no holding back most likely. Just getting back into music making, so trying to focus on what I need , not want. Weâll see how long that lastsâŚ
Di-Gi-Tone! Kept telling myself I didnât care for FM but I totally caved. The DT+DN combo is on!! Just ran midi sync from OP-Z to DN holy moly that is some good fun
Congrats on the Digitone!
I hear ya about FM, for the longest time I didnât really hear the appeal of it, and then after poking around in FM8 and discovering the intricacies of FM synthesis itâs now my go-to synthesis source for wild and crazy sounds!
Enjoy it, that thing is a Pandoraâs box of possibilities, especially with the operator offset update!
I am so ready to push BUY on the âTone also. Every demo I hear is so good. Are the effects the same as the DT?
The reverb & delay seem the same however DN also has chorus. You can apply those fx (and overdrive) to the stereo input too! Iâm still learning the box (only had it 2 days) but it shares a lot of the DT workflow so itâs been relatively easy to get going on it.
@Zifor: Oh, forgot about this last night. Maybe you know it already, but here an album by Michel Waisvisz the inventor of the âCrackle Boxâ. With the title âCrackleâ, not really surprising.
Edit: Better demo of the 'Crackle Box:
(I was wondering how to include a video, finally I got it! lol)
