- part one on my attempt to design a module for eurorack and my moog modular etc.
All schematics will be freely available to anyone if it all works out.
All music in this video composed and played by :
Jason Lee - Eddie Deegan & Markus Fuller.
The birth of MF Modular :D
Those new waveforms certainly *look* interesting, excited to see how else you tweak it
Beautiful to see the birthing of a module from the ground up
Useful standard utility module. Has more use as a control voltage processor, rather than for audio (which it doesn't do much for). Good vid for showing the design process.
It's funny, I find this video just after looking back at Forrest Mims old Radio Shack pamphlet/book, "Timer, Op Amp, and Optoelectronic Circuits & Projects" - that exactly describes building these (individual) circuits. Nice video, thanks! (I kept wanting to HEAR what the waves sound like, so you've inspired me to just go make these myself....)
always love your videos. very relaxing, interesting and informative!
One of your best videos so far, I can really dig this.
Big Thanks.
Brilliant looking forward to the next video. Cheers
This is excellent content Markus. Thank you for sharing.
Looks awesome, that's the kind of engineering that I like to see.
This is a superb use of your talents. I am inspired by your inventiveness and I'm really excited to see part two!
Looks amazing Markus. Can't wait to hear it.
Like all of your videos I am the greatest pupil for the first 2 minutes, then I lose the connections and the schematics and enjoy your lovely calm voice...
Finding inspiration in the middle of one project to do another... awesome. For me... it just proves that I have A.D.D. :)
This module idea is an AWESOME concept!!! Brilliant work Markus! If I had an Euro rack system or any kind of modular gear/system this module you're making would definitely be my favorite/dream "synth gizmo" for sure. Can't you make blueprints for an stereo tabletop/pedal version of this marvelous piece of engineering? :D
PS: Don't forget to add CV input for LFO's / sample and hold generators.

That s freaking Dope , Is awesome to see too 🤘🏼
Awesome Markus. I can imaging someone like Don Buchla crouched over a breadboard doing the same thing a few years ago. Lovely vid, thanks.
Hi Markusfuller
Thank You for your Video and Keep up the Good Work! :)
Thumbs up Indiana USA.
This is brilliant!
Man these are a very cool little wave shaping tricks.
Thats a fantastic breadboard. I might just order it.
Awesome as usual :D

Nice project! Pretty ~patterns~
Very cool! Can't wait to hear how that can modulate the pitch and filter at slow speeds! Also, the end music is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly nice!
Thanks for the mention of the music Scott - we have a few plans in that direction, so watch (or listen to?) this space ...
Overalls and striped shirts? The 80s want their clothes back. Great stuff.
your workspace looks so cool
Brilliant! I was happy just making an attenuverter! Lol. 👏👍
"There's lots of other little handy circuits I could have" says Markus, creating a 15u wide behemoth module...... :D
Awesome!
Great stuff Mark, very similar to the double dekka module and the trapezoidal oscillator from Ian fritz and Thomas henry. Cool stuff Like it Mark
Man, can you imagine running those through a quantizer, you would have a mini arpeggiator with cv control just with the waveforms and top of that maybe a wavefolder. Great video, thank you
Great idea with the quantizer! Markus has a disting so let's hope to hear in part 2
Absolutely loved this episode Markus! Those were some really interesting waveforms. I hope you do something musical with this module!
Hi Jakob. Its all just experimenting and playing around at the moment but I think it may be usable somehow or at least I hope it will be.
Thanks for your videos sir and nice lab 100%
Can't wait to hear how this can _sound_ ! Either as an audio signal (meshing 2 slightly detuned triangles) or as a LFO of sorts! Make it happen!
Enjoyed the video. Will be watching part too, shortly. I really think it's time you apply for sponsorship from Brilliant.org. Thanks, and keep up the great works! :)
Visually very impressive! Reminds me of Quetzalcoatl..
Luv the mewsic!
Thanks!
Great video, also loved the music in it! I would be very interested to hear those waves in the audio range, instead of cvs. Seems like it would generate some incredible sounds.
Very cool indeed Markus.
Some slow slew rates there look very much like the Klon Centaur guitar pedal.
Hey Markus great idea! Really love your videos. I think it would be great if you could do a video series on like audio circuit 101. I would love to learn why a certain resistor is needed versus another one or why this part of the circuit goes to ground etc.. Maybe it could even be a patreon thing where you upload like monthly build homework and we can make a simple preamp or eq.
8:44 -(V1 + V2) = output
10:58 -6 Volts
Love the soundtrack!
Yes I was not armed with information and can see there are a few ways i could have explained that better, maybe re-do that in the next video.
Haha, I thought someone would point this out. No need for me to repeat that than. Sound like nitpicking, but on the other hand it could confuze youngplayers.
just noticed that Roodle seems to show a keen interest in all you're doing!
wow wow wee wow!
GOOD, CONTINUE, ENJOY
Thats amazing looking Markus. Would be nice to see you develop this further, great work. I suppose you add more cells of the circuit so send the output into another stage. Just imagine the mangled timbres you could get from that !!
Adamski A. Hi Adamski. its not too technical as you will know its just playing with op-amps. I have been making the second part today and it does not work too well with audio but cv seems to be interesting. how are you getting on with your breadboard synth ?. I have been following your progress and its becoming a seriously great synthesizer.
@@markusfuller Ok kool maybe do an update video at some point if you decide to go further with it. Perhaps it response better to a dc signal as a pose to ac. Cv control sounds very intresting.
The prototype is pretty much done . Im just trying to get my head around KiCad to finalise the schematics thou i think i will struggle with designing pcbs. Do you know of any companies or people who could actually do this task in the u.k ?
Adamski A. I do not know of any companies that would do this. Im pretty oldschool when making circuit boards. however there is a free program called fritzing where you can copy your breadboard and then make a circuit board from that. its a bit of messing around but looks useful for translating breadboard projects.
@@markusfuller Thank you very much for the reply and the info Markus. Fritzing sounds like a very ideal solution for a proto/perm pcb for me at this stage , i will check it out 😎
I would love to have the schematic for this - looks interesting to play with.
Nice video. I'm curious to what sounds that module is going to make.
I'd like to make this in digital modular environment. I think I've got the idea, but can't be sure I've wrapped my head around this so going to experiment later.
I think I need this ! !! ! ! ! Please make some modules or make the Schematic available to us Patreon's :D
100 Things I Do Hi I am adding a few things onto the main control board and will certainly place all the schematics for anyone to use. Im just figuring out the main pot board now that will need a few extra components.
Excellent, thanks so much :D
Arkus Synth Werks is born. Logo can feature an iron in it somewhere? Robot with an iron? Just brainstorming...
I like that. a robot with an Iron would look good
i would like to hear what 2 audio signals running through that circuit would sound like, maybe 2 different waveforms? or maybe just 2 audio samples from maybe 2 different MTM radio music modules?
How very East Coast! I'd like to see cv controlled slew/lpg on that output too. Great stuff I demand to hear those waveforms. Talk about a tease!
Well, that module escalated quickly! That looks super cool. Will you be making the pcb image available? I'd love to etch and put one of these together for my MU modular. You've got something really neat going on here. There's so much fun that can be had with just simple op-amps!
Also, I forgot to mention, the music in this video is amazing!
Hi Jacob. sure I will post all the schematics as soon as the second video is made. theres a few things i want to add on the top board that will contain the pots jacks and ac/dc switches etc. i just gotta work it all out in the next few days and test it out. but it will all be freely available for anyone to build.
Great video Markus! I was looking for schematics for attenuverters recently and this is perfect to find. I wonder what kind of circuit would be needed to add control voltage inputs for the bias and inversion potentiometer positions? I'm still a newbie at DIY synth stuff but eager to learn all I can.
Sysex|Studio Hi I still have not completed this circuit yet but will post all the schematics as soon as it is completed. hopefully by the second video.
I'm another person who would love to hear what the output sounds like at audio rates. When Markus started talking about "sum and difference" I thought - is this going to be a strange reimagining of the Ring Modulator !? (Nope). Ring mod is a frequency multiplication I think, and so quite dissonant and metallic as the frequencies curve up and away from the harmonic source. These waves though should sound more musical. Those mutating waveshapes would sound great when slowly morphed by an LFO, but perhaps that's for version 2 eh?
Sum the outputs (both sum and diff amp circuits) and take a listen! Looks like some interesting in and out phasing happening at a very controlled manner. More of a way to patch the module. Not suggesting the use of another opamp ;)
Are you going to give some files for this Mark, I would be interested as I'm just gettting into synth diy and its simple explainations of how opamps etc work that is teaching me stuff so I appreciate it, thanks
Try FM with it or with oscillators in sync modulate the carrier
So useful...free education btw
Cool. What happened to the juddery soud track and out of focus sche,atics?
ISO Guy Im not sure what happened there. maybe youtube has not completed the processing yet. I do not really know.
ISO Guy I see what you mean with the hand drawn schematics, I think the camera may have been slightly out of focus. I will posting all the schematics as soon as the second video is made as there are a few things i want to add to the second board.
Potenziometer on the point where a wave Is starts , can you add This ? 😁
i'D LIKE TO HEAR A VOICE FED THROUGH THAT.
the double dekka uses sliders instead of pots
Why not actually plug it into an audio amplifier and let us hear what it sounds like?
