  • This Eurorack Module - GHOST IN THE MACHINE - is an experiment for me both in terms of audio output and usefulness.
    It is meant to encourage the user to play around and get surprised.
    I like to call it a module with many controls, but not much control.
    I guess it might be something for the noise fraction in modular synthesis.
    In any way, it is thought to cause a bit of fun without providing structure.
    Curiosity is the key.
    If you are interested in this black box, you can find details for building it on GitHub:
    github.com/TOILmodular/GHOST_...
    Enjoy.

      Great, looking forward to your video. One more thing. I found an issue with the central push button, which can easily be fixed. I did that already in GitHub. But I want to make sure that you have the right version. If the version number on your control board states 2.1, you are fine. If it is 2.0, then please check the following. On the upper right of the board you find a 33K resistor (the only 33K), and next to it a 100K resistor. If next to the 100K there is a 1N4148 diode, then that is incorrect. To fix it, just do not solder the diode, but bridge the connections of the diode with a wire (e.g. a cut-off resistor leg). Then things should work fine. Sorry for that mistake. I found out that with that diode the button might not trigger the knob shuffling.

    • @TOILmodular
      @TOILmodular  2 місяці тому

      Yeah, quite a few HPs. But it gives you some space between the knobs. And still a bit smaller than using separate modules for it.

    Love it. Eurorack is all about experimentation and playing around to stumble upon interesting sounds and rhythms. This is right up my street.
    Are those Mutable modules clones or just custom faceplates?

      I see. Sorry to hear that. Maybe there’s some similar commercial stuff around. Or you can set up something like that with separate modules. Basically, the module interior does not contain any special units. Maybe besides the shuffling part.
