Using a flux pen can be useful for smaller SMD like 0402, and the pen also cleans the pad. For 0805 your technique is working well - with no tombstoning!. A finer tweezer like the Mechanic AAC-14 (eBay) is very handy. And if you do a lot of SMD work (like me) then a digital microscope is a revelation! I think I need a Turin machine after seeing this nifty expander! Well done Axis Modular!
Excellent job explaining all of that wonderfully crazy creative patching you did with your newly built module 😅! I never bought a Turing Machine Module... perhaps I will find a need to have one in the future. It does seem to do quite a lot within a patch, even more so when you added the new Module that goes with it. I enjoyed your Groove filled Sound Pieces a lot. Those drum-beats were FIERCE !💡🥁🎛🎶👏🏽🔥🤖🌠🪴🐈⬛🌛❗️
I had the same WTF moment when I made mine a few weeks ago. I ended up soldering a Dupont wire to a pot-ground on the backside of my Greyscale Permutation, and the adjoining connection to the GND thru-hole point on the Bit Buddy PCB.
Happy Holy Week Robin Vincent! God bless you! Visit San Diego sometime. Our weather is the finest in all of the United States. Only tornadoes am I afraid of. But they don’t show up here.
It’s a close call, but I found Pulses to be a bit bamboozling, whereas the bit buddy is calmer, especially in gates mode, and it has a full 8 step output where pulses has 7. The extra logic on pulses can be useful. It’s good to have options.
Very nice. Yay! You finally are using.mixers for sequencing! You'll start looking at ALL your gate generators differently. Now to get that precision adder incorporated. Did Mylars talk to you about it?
@@MoltenMusicTech Yep! A lot of sequencers are just gate generators with built in attenuators. All the square outs on your LFOs can serve as part of your sequencing setup as well.
Sounds great. I can see you expanding your live set incorporating this to make some nice beats and melodies. I know I would if I had a eurorack myself. 👍🏻 🚥🚦🚥🔌🙈

Yes I used a flux pen all over the Deckard's Dream but sort of forgot about it on this build.

It’s my longest serving module. I’m sure something like Marbles would beat it but I love the simplicity and liveliness

Ha, I had considered that
Manual will be updated straight away! Thank you for this awesome video and sorry for your head scratching Robin. :)
Head scratching is what I do best :D
Loving the build & the weird lava lamp thang at the back..
What is it ?

He is risen! Thanks and you too.
30:00 haha, thought about writing a comment if it’s me or if you didn’t record soldering the second smd joints. :)
Oh it’s always me 😁
A little off topic, but I just wanted to say that it’s a great picture! Robin what camera are you using (test video fragment)?
Thanks! I use a Lumix GH5 for the posh shots and a Sony camcorder for the overheads
@@MoltenMusicTech Thanks for the answer!
I still dont get why to get this instead of "pulses" with more outputs

No, I had never considered it before - it had never occured to me until I spoke to Richard at Axis and then I didn't get it until.... i got it :D

This is all very interesting and all, but what's that Arrival ink display with the black ink and the yellow light?
It’s a ferrofluid thing from Douk Audio

The Turing Machine "Volts" expander does something similar to BitBuddy on gates plus a mixer
Oh I see
And you can attach the BiTBUDDY to the Volts expander
Nobody know what these lights mean? dude it's the shift register at the center of the turing machine,
Dude, so glad you're here to tell us these things
@@MoltenMusicTech someone had to bro
