Edinburgh Scotland

 Edinburgh Scotland
city scape

Edinburgh Castle


 
Edinburgh Church on Royal Mile.
Tron Kirk
Christ's Kirk at the Tron, has stood in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town for almost 400 years.
The church was formally opened and dedicated to Christ by the citizens of Edinburgh in 1641,
It was closed as a church in 1952.

Arthur's Seat. ....the highest peak in Edinburgh.
Its a dormant volcano.right in the centre of town.
You can take a number of trails ... Crow Hill, Whinny Hill or Nether Hill ... these are pretty easy.
Dunsape Loch offers the most direct route to the summit 
 



 

The Scottish National Gallery

Departing from Sydney to Europe.

Mutant Hot Glue - part 2 - build notes

 Finally getting the parts together which I need to finish this project.
Covid, the war in Ukraine, etc are really slowing down my builds.
 

Part 1 of the build is here:

Finally have a 576k resistor.
 


The THAT 4301p is super rare.
 
So is the THAT 2180. This is a VCA


cAREFUL with the orientation

Finally there.
 


Part 1 of the build is here:

+ Modular Compressor -using eurorack modules 

ARP 2500 VCOs

 The Arp 2500 has 3 "types" of VCOs

1004‑T: Single Oscillator Module
1004-R: Single Oscillator Module
1004-P: Single Oscillator Module

The 1004-P

P stands for Potentiometer.

This is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator with a range
 from 0.03Hz to 16kHz.
This module can function as a VCO or an LFO. 
It features separate outputs for each of its five waveforms 
(sine, triangle, square, sawtooth, and pulse)  and a final
mixed output.
There are 6 CV (control voltage) inputs (3 at the top and 2 at the bottom of the module)
 
Input #4 is a CV input for Pulse Width Modulation.
 
The pots allow for gradual shaping of the waveforms.
You can easily mix different volumes of each waveform with one another to sculpt your sounds


The 1004- T

T stands for Toggle

This is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator with a range
 from 0.03Hz to 16kHz.
This module can function as a VCO or an LFO. 
Its core is identical to the above 1004-P.
 
It features separate outputs for each of its five waveforms 
(sine, triangle, square, sawtooth, and pulse)  and a final
mixed output.
There are 6 CV (control voltage) inputs (3 at the top and 2 at the bottom of the module)
 
Input #4 is a CV input for Pulse Width Modulation.
 
The toggle allow for quick shaping of the waveforms.
You can easily add and remove different waveforms from the final mix to sculpt your sounds.
 
The toggle version also allows you to add/remove inverted waveforms

1004-R

R stands for Rocker.

This is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator with a range
 from 0.03Hz to 16kHz.
This module can function as a VCO or an LFO. 
Its core is identical to the above 1004-P & 1004-T
 
It features separate outputs for each of its five waveforms 
(sine, triangle, square, sawtooth, and pulse)  and a final
mixed output.
There are 6 CV (control voltage) inputs (3 at the top and 2 at the bottom of the module)
 
Input #4 is a CV input for Pulse Width Modulation.
 
The rocker switch allows for quick shaping of the final mixed waveform.
You can easily add and remove different waveforms from the final mix to sculpt your sounds.
 
This is a simplier version of the 1004-T however its the rarest of the bunch

Guitar pedals & effects 2

For more info on pedals that work with synths:

Guitar pedals and effects 1- that work well with synths

 This is Boss's 1st pedal


The CE-1 
Musonics Phaser
Mu-Tron Phasor II
Phase shifter
1977
Six phase-shift stages provide a maximum of 1080 degrees of phase-shift 
The feedback circuitry (first introduced on the Mu-tron Bi-Phase) produces a distinctive, pronounced sweeping effect

MXR Stereo Flanger

16 second digital delay
Electro-harmonix
This is a early digital sampler
Able to record parts on the fly, and then replay them at the touch of a button, 

Strymon
Echo
El Capistan

Ekdahl Moisturizer
Reverb & Variable state filter
Control (CV) over freq and res.
Also Cv control to pick which filter .. LP BP,HP
