@@michaelnervOus my power button works when using batteries or USB power

@@ModularExplorationI was afraid of that but also not sure if it’s really necessary to have a functioning power button.

Cool!

Thanks for watching the video. You can sorta clock it by sending a clock into the digital input which acts as a reset.

I don't see why not. As long as you are able to send an accurate voltage to the EuroPi to be used during calibration it should be fine.

You make a very good point. I tried this hack after trying all the usual fixes: IPA, outlet ground, correct power supply etc. I definitely recommend that people try all the usual fixes before attempting this mod.

Thank you!

This is low value and ten minutes long for one sentence worth of data.

​@@christopherknowles thanks for your comment. I was keen to do this mod myself and I'm really happy with the result! The reason I created the video is because I read that lots of people have the same problem and might want to do the mod themselves.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you for letting me know about my spelling faux pas. I have corrected it - luckily I spelt it correctly in the video! Thank you also for sharing your thoughts on the content - it means a lot coming from a long time fan of Steve Reich.

@@ModularExploration I particularly love Violin Phase from the "Music for a Large Ensemble" album - That was the first time I heard his music, from my friend's dad's record collection. It completely blew my mind. That was about 33 years ago now, and I still LOVE that album every time I hear it. It always makes me happy when I see musicians giving a nod to his work.

I agree, there is something quite special about its sound and rhythmic capability!

Unfortunately EuroPi kits sell out fast! You can find them built on eBay/reverb though. In terms of getting it running on another platform - I'm sure this would be possible. However, I have not looked into norns coding. There is a link to the code in the video description - feel free to take a look.

Elvertronics has an eBay account whe he sells EuroPi's, as well as his own Noise Reap/Elver stuff! 🤫

You can certainly achieve the same effect as a MIDI delay using this gate phaser.

@@ModularExplorationbut you havent any gate input 😢

The digital input takes a gate which resets the cycle. It can therefore be used as a gate delay (using one output) or a burst (using more than one output)

@@arqner3493 See 14m 25s in - the pink stackable is input into the digital jack as a reset. A simple techno loop demonstrates the reset with delay/burst perfectly.

Lol!

You can find the schematic here: github.com/Allen-Synthesis/EuroPi/tree/main/hardware/EuroPi/schematic. It is a different module from the one you mentioned. BTW: Who is Jos?

It did indeed. CVrecorder is now included in the EuroPi firmware from Allen Synthesis. So it is installed by default. Check out this vid to see it in action: ua-cam.com/video/Crj0P7pr2YA/v-deo.htmlsi=LL-IIc9Gu0Wk38aB Oh and how do you record more than one CV? You record them one at a time.

Sweet! What a great project 🎉

If the Pico Trigger sends clock pulses which are around 10ms in duration that would be fine. Shorter than that might cause some clock pulses to be missed by the EuroPi.

Sorry I missed this. I actually sold it recently to free up some precious rack space. I loved it while I had it though!

Hi Sean, thanks for your feedback. I'll keep a closer eye on music levels in future.

You're welcome, thanks for letting me know. Have fun with your Dysmetria!

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I have several WgdModular modules and I have been happy with all of them so far.

Thanks! Unfortunately not. The EuroPi only has two inputs (one digital, one analogue) and they are both used for other functions (digital: clock, analogue: CV input).

Thanks! I am really pleased with it!

Thanks! I have found the Löwenzahnhonig to be a really nice platform for the Daisy Seed. What are you thinking of developing? Anything interesting?

@@ModularExploration Need to dive into the Daisy libraries, I'm considering a few options based on my use case for my current rack set up. I plan on starting with something like a delay with effects and sample and hold for short loops and cv manipulation. Working on another Daisy Seed build using Synthux Simple platform, but that will be a more stand alone build. I'll try and update with any fun changes, C++ is fairly new to me so lots to learn along the way!

​@@mus3equalthat sounds cool, thanks for sharing. The Synthux Academy has been really useful to me when learning to code on the Daisy seed 👍

Thanks! Glad you liked it 👍

Thanks! This reverb is my first attempt at creating FX, a stereo delay is certainly doable and on my list of things to try. What would be tweakable in your ideal stereo delay?

Hey. Thanks for your answer. I am not sure if it is technically possible: for me, it would be very nice to have repeating delays, which are tied to a clock which is fed trough one of the CV-inputs. If this could then be musically divided or multiplied by one of the pots (1/4, 1/8, etc), this would be just amazing. I didnt got a simple Delay to work flawlessly. However, I have very limited knowledge in programming. Thanks for your efforts!❤

@@socialviruz I was thinking of a clockable delay, so yeah I'm sure this is possible, thanks for your input 👍

@socialviruz I now have a clockable stereo delay up and running, plus I managed to create a really nice stereo spread effect. If you are interested in testing it and providing feedback, please let me know!

Thanks! I can't wait to get started on the development of another firmware .. I have LOTS of ideas!

The best place to get support is the Allen Synthesis discord. There is an enthusiastic bunch (including myself) there that will be keen to help you. In the meantime, you might want to confirm you have found the correct ssd1306 package as I recently learned that Thonny V4 finds the wrong one, but Thonny v3 finds the right one

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you are finding the videos useful. And yes, I totally agree it is easy to justify having lots of EuroPis!

Hi thanks for your comment. Actually, one thing I didn't show in the video was the Bindubba reset functionality.... If you send a high signal to both loop inputs at the same time it will reset to step 1. I was thinking of including that to demonstrate changing the length of fixed length sequences and also to see how accurately these could be used to sinc the vertical and horizontal movement.. but I opted to keep the video duration low - maybe I should do a "Bindubba revisited" vid at some point! There is also a Divide & Conquer mod kicking around that describes how you can sacrificed one of the jacks to have a reset input... Maybe I'll do a vid on that too!

Thanks for your comment. I certainly use mine (I have several) a lot! It is open source, you can buy kits, or make one yourself. For those that do not want to build one, I sell built EuroPi modules on eBay and reverb (with a blessing from Allen Synthesis).

@@ModularExploration hmm I see the link for the reverb site, but where are you on eBay? It seems you aren’t charging more for an assembled unit compared to a kit on Thonk, is that true? Also I have to consider the shipping costs to Commiefornia (‘California’)

@@bonaventura_AKA_ben you can search for "allen synthesis europi" to find built modules for sale. Also, feel free to reach out to me (@nik) on the Allen Synthesis discord: discord.gg/chszKc8Npn International shipping isn't too bad for small, light weight items BTW.

Thanks! I love your channel BTW, keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for sharing! Glad you're enjoying the vids 👍

Thanks. That's what I was hoping for - to show the more musically focussed features of the two modules.

Thanks. Yes good point! There was one patch where I used Bindubba to modulate the decay of a hihat, but I chose to remove it to keep the video relatively short. Maybe a part 2 will appear at some point.

Btw, how do you use Bindubba as a modulation source? What are you driving with it?

@@ModularExploration works great to modulate filters on my Moog and parameters on my Plaits

Good shout Paul. I love pushing sequences into filters.

Thanks for your feedback! The I2C connection can be used with lots of I2C compatible controllers and sensors (I have a few ideas in my backlog that I rarely get time to work on these days!). You will need to write all the I2C handling code yourself though, as currently there is not much in the EuroPi firmware to accelerate that at the moment. I hope you enjoy playing with your EuroPi as much as I do. Good luck on your Python learning journey too.

I’m taking that as a no But it’s exactly the same question I wanted to ask

Thanks for your thoughts Rick. The module already does this after a timeout of (I think) 2 seconds... I need to check the code. You can also use the digital input as a reset when using the internal clock.

@@ModularExploration Let me go try again today but untill now my experience using external clock input is that div /2 starts at 2nd count of 1st beat, div /4 starts at 4th count of the 1st beat etc. As such it is difficult to use the different outputs to do changes in sync on 1st count of a beat 🤔

@@ricksanders Ah I think I misunderstood your initial suggestion. So if you set a division of /4 you would want to outputs gates on step 1,5,9 etc rather than 4,8,12 as it does currently? This makes sense and would be a very small code change. It would take a while for the change to be made available in the firmware. However, I could guide you through making a small code change to implement the change if you like?

Indeed, that is what I meant. For the /4/8/16/32/64/128 divs to output a gate on step 1, 5, 9, 17, 33, 65, 129 🙂 I dont have any micropython experience but would love to try adapt the script, following your instructions as you propose ✌️

I really like this suggestion, so I went ahead and made the update in my code repo fork. You can find the updated file in the link below. To update your EuroPi, simply open the lib/contrib/master_clock.py file in Thonny, paste the new code from the link below, then choose save-as and save it to the Raspberry Pi. Please let me know how you get on. If your testing goes well, I will create a PR to hopefully get this into the next EuroPi firmware release. github.com/gamecat69/EuroPiApps/blob/master-clock-aug-23/software/contrib/master_clock.py

At the first attempt the menu did not update on the europi while v0.10.0 and all new scripts were installed correctly. At second attempt I started with bootsel and erased first with flash_nuke (following your earlier video), installed all again and now it worked flawless. Thanks again.

@@ricksanders glad you got it working. I am actually just about to release another short video describing the micropython update routine. V1.20.0 is available for download, but it is not yet integrated into Thonny, so it needs a slightly different procedure to install the micropython layer.

HI Rick, thanks for your comment. Within the master clock script a minimum and maximum BPM are hard-coded as 20 and 240 respectively. However, you may have found a small bug in the way that the detected BPM is presented on the screen. I will take a look at this when I next perform updates to the code.

Hi Rick, thanks so much for your suggestion. I liked it so much I just recorded a video showing the firmware update procedure. It will be available for viewing as soon as UA-cam has finished processing the video fully - you might want to wait for an hour or so until the HD version is ready.

Thanks! Yes you're correct. The background music was me playing around with the Pulsar-23 when I first got it. The pulsar-23 does benefit from additional CV sources in my opinion, in fact you might find this vid useful if you haven't seen it already: ua-cam.com/video/cuu4clrLPS0/v-deo.html. I am sure the CV output from the NTS-2 would work well with the Pulsar-23, although I haven't tried it TBH.

No, unfortunately not. The EuroPi is not capable of clean audio rate processing - micropython is not fast enough for this.

Hi, thanks. I did not add any components, I just attached the USB sockets directly to the 5V and Ground connections on the power supply.

Oh!! I rewatched and you added "resistor legs" into the power connector, not any actual resistor. Thanks!!

@@MChristian ah yes! Thanks for making that connection!

Wow man. What a waste of money. You could build better ones based on existing teensy 4.1 projects. Then you can put screens wherever you want if you build a rack. Korg only paid about 20 beans to make that, it's a shame as their gear usually has great build quality. I shouldn't talk as I have like 20k in bench gear like scopes and shit haha
