New Sound Waves - Eurorack case build
Some pics of the new DIY eurorack case being designed by New Sound Waves.
This will be built only in limited numbers.
tHE final design is still being discussed.
The power supply will be designed my MetroModular of Sydney, Australia.
The case will be offered in stained and unstained versions.
It's possible that one version will have a extra "separator" between the base and lid to allow it to be closed fully patched.
More details coming.....

Mutable Instruments Links
Some pics of a new build ... a DIY version of the Mutable links module.
There is no microcontroller in this module so I though its would be a good one to start experimenting on. Before soldering the jacks I pondered which side of the PCB do they go on. ???
A friend assured me this was the correct side, however once the jacks are on, any trouble shooting would be extremely difficult as the components are on the same side.
Anyway, I pressed ahead.
All the SMDs are 0603
There, really is no reason why you can't solder the jacks on the other side....except the panel would be reversed.

L-1 Compressor
Some pics of my build of a L-1 Compressor Eurorack module.
I thought I'd give building this a go. Pretty straight forward.
Check out the official site and build notes here:
http://l-1.su/Microcompressor_stereo.html
tHE kit I purchased came with the SMD components already soldered.
All I needed to do was order the through hole parts from mouser
THAT4301 dynamics processor
Apart from the THAT processor, the parts are cheap and easy to find.

Doepfer 128 - Fixed filter bank modifications
The Doepfer Module A-128 (Fixed Filter Bank) is a filter bank,
made up of 15 parallel band pass filters :50 Hz / 75Hz / 110Hz / 150Hz / 220Hz / 350Hz / 500Hz / 750Hz / 1.1kHz / 1.6kHz / 2.2kHz /
3.6kHz / 5.2kHz / 7.5kHz / 11 kHz.
Each band pass filter has its own amplitude control knob.
The unmodified 128 has just one output which is a mix of all the filters, depending on the position of each one's amplitude control knob.
It's a lovely sounding filter even though it has no CV control.
It's worth adding an output for each filter.
To do this you must remove the knobs aND faceplate
Ive made a breakout panel .. 4HP
You can find some mod instructions on Doepfers own site:

The Presets - Waves, Wollongong.
One of my fav bands.
The Presets are an Australian electronic music duo of Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes. Formed in 2003.
It was a great live show. They played on Fri 22 June @ Waves, Wollongong.
They have been quiet of late so its great to see them on the road again with a new album. Hi Viz.

Deluge - Synthstrom Audible
Thanks to Ian from Synthstrom ( and the organisers of New Sound Waves) for this live demo.
Held in Sydney
I'm very tempted to purchase a Deluge.
Ian also brought along one of the early existing Deluges.
It's interesting to see how it it has developed into the current beast.
The Deluge was developed in New Zealand
It's a drum machine, a synth. It integrates with Midi and voltage controlled synths.
Testing the Deluge with some eurorack gear (Metromodular).
