The labels for the TL072s on the strip board layouts shown on your site are upside down. Don't want some new synth DIY people to get caught by that and put their chips in the wrong way. Thanks for making great videos and sharing this stuff with people!
Sorry for the question, the output A of the TL072 conect with the +12 power supply? Or the pin 3 conect with the +12 power supply? I cant make it work, i have 2,5 V in the output of the envelope all the time.
I see. I like electronic music. I just don't happen to like most of the modern EDM type of stuff that's so prevalent right now. If you're the same way, then I'm sure you'll like Automatic Gainsay. ua-cam.com/users/AutomaticGainsay He generally does synth reviews but his original music is just amazing imo.

If I had time.... But its so good to ear this!!!!!!! And how about to play it? You had basic electronic music skills how to plug clocks and all that stuff? Peace!!

This is the first video to tell me how to use my envelope. I’ve been into modular for like 6 months and didn’t know til now to output to the oscillator
after drooling over $$$$$ of gear that i cant afford that i know does what i want and then some...I see you on vids experimenting circuit bending and tweakin knobs and mashing shit together that sounds completely insanely beautiful...i think to myself, "why the PC, and VSTs and all of that...I used to solder electronic boards as a kid to make little blinking lights and motors go round.." brother you are inspiring me to go back to basics, cuz i love music, science, electronics, and especially tinkerin ...keep inspiring \m/ Cheers!
Since discovering the Furby Organ video, I've started gathering midi instruments (some of which can do control voltages) so that I can experiment with bleeps and bloops (I'm an old-school gamer). Once I find a house to purchase and have some more room, I think I'm going to start making some of this stuff (as opposed to software emulating them with VSTs). It's always that one video you find that sends you down the rabbit hole into wonderland.
Fairly new to modular, a few months, and I’m wondering if your style handwriting is a common module thing, or did Make Noise just find your handwriting, bc all the scribbles on their panels look like yours? You’re a true inspiration, man.
Oh dude! I will definetly try this one. I made the three oscilators with CVO from another of your videos and is a lot of fun to play with my TD-3. It feels like a rabit hole and its awesome to know you can actually build your own instruments. Greetings from Arg!
It's so interesting to see how everything I'd see in a DAW like FL Studio is physically being used to modulate sound waves. I grew up listening to electronic music so it's almost nostalgic actually seeing it being created.
You, sir, are a genius of the highest order. Your videos are always a joy to watch, even if I can't put together a 3-pin mains plug without setting the house alight.
Dude you got me into analog synths! Me and my dad have built a small and cool little 6U live synth, complete with drums and 4 oscillators! Can I bring a module to the show in Hamburg for you to sign?
Lovely! Slowly getting things together to make myself a big button drum seq. A nice ramp was on my list of things to diy as well because I don't like how most of them work. Thank you, Sam!
Dude I'm majoring in electronics math and physics... Electronics as a subject i hate the most but i love edm lol i just want to build a synthesizer before graduating idk wtf amm i even speaking this is soooo cool
Great video Sam! Can't wait to build the EG. Just a note, looks like you forgot to add the layout for the attenuates at 6:04. Good thing those are the easiest part though haha
Wow. I'm a metalhead with nearly no interest in electronic music. Just binge watched all you videos anD OMG I AM SUPER HYPED NOW TO START SOLDERING WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
One more question. So the envelope controls the filter and the pitch if you want. What about the,... I guess in synthesizer terms it would be the amplifier but I really just mean volume. That's what the envelope of a regular instrument would control. You can control the attack and release on a violin but you're controlling volume.
Fantastic! That looks super-simple, I might have to build a couple for my diy synth! I have a 555-based ADSR one I built which was much more complicated, and I don't really use the sustain and decay functionality much! VCA next please!! ;-)
Man I love what you do. I saw a drum kit in your studio and you didn't know what to do with it yet. You have the answer in your modular synth. I was impressed by your animatronics synth and it would be great to incorporate this in an acoustic drum kit. I love playing drums and have been thinking about ways to spice up the stage presence of my drum. What if you could make the bass drum head into a giant animatronics face and make it react to the music. Or set of flamethrowers or CO2 guns, or leds or... What if you can make the face look bad every time the bass player is making mistakes? Or hook it up to the guitarists pedalboard so something happens when they engage a pedal to play a solo... So many ideas and possibilities, but being a drummer I don't have the abilities to build them myself, cause let's face it... I'm a drummer :-) Let your creativity flow and go down the rabbit hole on the drumkit :-)
So I figure that a synth requires a minimum of oscillator, LFO, filter and envelope. So, maybe it would be cool if you did LFO next. Also, how does a keyboard work on a modular? From what I understand, you need an oscilloscope to tune it. Is that correct?
7:24 This thing makes that thing to do that kind of a thing like that other thing. ^_^ this video is super fun to watch and the guy inspires you to create things. Cheers
Still waiting for the attenuator schematic to appear " " ...lol ? so far I built three avalanche osc and turned them into a weird noise generator box witha voltage bridge keyboard improvised of course. next to build the CEM3340's x3 parts already in. keep on keepin on kicken wing !

well the reason for a PC is so you don't have all this soldering to do and racks of knobs to carry around. Pretty compelling reason TBH.

That opening gritty sequence was gorgeous!
Now all we need is some simple drum synthesizer ;P
he has actually built one in his channel..
u could probs use a white noise gener8r w a filter and envelope tbh

Man, that's wicked!
Im so doing all of those.

Also, how does a keyboard work on a modular? From what I understand, you need an oscilloscope to tune it. Is that correct?
and VCA
Keyboard: well you can get a midi to control voltage convertor. Otherwise, you need to convert the key matrix into control voltages.
This is epic and inspirational to the *MAX*!
THANK YOU! :D
I was waiting the entire time for you to draw a face on that cute envelope you drew Haha the arrows looked like cartoon feet :D
Fine jam sir! Excellent!
Wow that's a nice diy synth dude I wish I were as patient as you to build one. A diy 5 voice drone will do it for me for now :D
it will work if i connect the osc output to AR input? i just want to adjust the attack and release of my oscillator and not get some crazy pitches
