low pass gate PCB
These were intended for the synth building WAMOD workshop in July, along with nice shiny Eurorack panels. Due to various injuries (not mine) and shipping company shenanigans, I have ended up with more PCBs than planned, so a few will be appearing on the 'PCBs for Sale' page soon.
All components solder directly onto the PCB (switch, sockets and pots), there are some minor changes from the original circuit but no extra fruit, it is slimmed down and likes stabbing eardrums. A very easy build, suitable for beginner DIYers.

Sauce of Unce
This has been brewing for several months
Based on the Buchla SOU265, but all the rare components replaced with regular parts. So the noise source is different, the 0.05-50 Hz VCO is op amp based, S&H sections changed to use hi-Z input op amps (ie not 741s), no 24V power source required. It is not a clone, but functionally about the same as the original.
Eurorack compatible, pots, LEDs and sockets all mount directly on the PCB (44 x 90mm), Eurorack panel will be available too.

QUO/LPF v2
Had a new version of this made, the 1st worked but I did a bunch of mods to tweak it and changed the NL feedback cct. So it seemed best to just get new PCBs made. I am very pleased with it now, possibly my new fave module - VCF, VCO, VC-LFO, QUO, Chaos and Burst Generator - all in one. Plus a good LED lightshow!
I have ten spare PCBs for sale - AU$20 each
New Eurorack panels in stock
Double Penetration filter 12hp AU$28
Neuron / Difference rectifier 10hp AU$22
$5 shipping per order
Both panels are designed so the pots can be soldered to the PCBs and then the lot is mounted on the panel; stronger, easier, less wiring!

some old modular in my back shed
Some pics of a modular built in 2004-5. Originally it was to be a paper-faced Serge clone; all the 1st series of modules, which is what happened for the 1st eight panels. The 2nd eight got a bit of a mix with CGS, Patchell and a few other modules, plus some of the 2nd & 3rd gen Serge designs.
The pictures are a pretty mixed batch, some from movies, tv shows, photographers & artists that I like. Some from my own photos of favorite places or pets, others from Splendor Solis and other alchemical texts.
This synth simply wouldn't exist without all the help and kindness of Ken Stone.
Wish I had built it with bananas and in smaller cases so I could shift it without help.
