I'd be interested in a Kit.

Interesting, I was just getting ready to put together the 4ms Autonomous Bassline Generator. I might give it a shot. I could use the ABG or Cell DS.

Re: Gorf Sequencer Owners? (7 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I only wish it had 16 step sequences instead of chaining 2 8 step's together.
oh well. can't complain for the money!
I'm hoping scienceguy's update might add some functionality in that regards. I don't know if it would be a full 16 step interface, but maybe change out the segment display for an LCD to make chaining patterns easier.
That and switching out the potentiometers for encoders would really take the Gorf to the next level.

I've used a Midisport Uno for a while and it's worked out well for me. It's a bit more than the interfaces you listed above, but it's solid. I'd check ebay for the best prices.

GorF user here. Love it for testing out gear and experimental sequencing.

Re: New Project (20 replies, posted in Circuit Bending)
As someone who has a Gorf (case and all), I'd love to see the project updated and continued. I think it has the potential to become a really awesome DIY sequencer and there's definately things I'd love to see implemented if at all possible.
I'd also love to see a chip synth with an easier to find main component. A lot of the projects have components that have to be scrounged up and the risk of frying a rare component is enough for me to steer clear of some of these projects, as much as I would love to try and put them together.
So my vote is for either the sequencer or the synth.

Re: Shruti-1 (47 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I'm paying fairly high custom taxes when ordering stuff from Digikey, so if we could find a way to organize the distribution of kits directly from somewhere else that would be awesome
Are you talking about the full kit distribution? I could see someone in a specific country (like the US) distributing kits in the US, but I don't know if it would be cheaper for them to send kits out of the country. I think they would get hit with customs costs as well.

Re: Analog Synths... (20 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I can personally recommend a Mopho. It's mono, but it has a lot of fun stuff in a little box.

Re: Shruti-1 (47 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I will spend some time over the weekend flashing the firmware on all the chips I have stocked and testing the CEM3379s. Indeed, I have secured a small stock of them from various sources, and have a clearer view on the supply for this chip - it's rare but not going to be extinct tomorrow.
Still, all the more reason to get a kit early! I don't want to end up trying to scrounge up bits and pieces at higher prices like some of the stuff needed for a x0xb0x. (If it can be found at all!)

Nice Modular!
How hard was the Paia module? I've been thinking about the Paia Modular kit to get into modular synths and was curious how hard it was to assemble the modules.

w00t! This is DEFINATELY close to kit release!
From the site:
The schematics and PCBs, in Eagle format, are available for download on github, on which the firmware source code is also hosted. Get the whole source tree from github by clicking on (Download Source). The board and schematics files are in hardware/shruti/hardware_design/pcb.
Plus a visual Bill of Materials here, though it looks like the CEM chip is going to be a bit difficult to get ahold of. I'm not worried, I was hoping to get a kit anyways. :-)

Re: Shruti-1 (47 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
http://mutable-instruments.net/node/77:
Thus, the kit will be distributed in 3 forms:
* plain PCBs, source all the parts yourself.
* PCBs + ATMega328p with firmware + CEM3379 + display (the other parts are fairly common for audio/synths projects and some of us already have most of them).
* All the parts.Oh and if you already have a CEM3379, arrangements will be possible
Prices will be announced shortly.
No case for now, but someone have started working on it and this might be available at a later stage.
Looks like we'll get some Shrutis here soon.

Re: Shruti-1 (47 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
And it looks like there's a new Audio Sample with the revised PCB.

If it's priced reasonably, i'll pick one up and build it. actually, I should contact them see if i can't pull some strings. teehee.
From the site:
Date of Delivery: ~ May 2010
Prices:
~ Euro 100.00 (without controls, sockets, switches, cables, power supply and case, without temperature control of the VCO)
~ Euro 120.00 (same as above, but with temperature control the VCO)
Or about $137 to $164 US dollars (at current exchange). Again, that's without a case and other control components. It seems cheaper than buying modules though.

Some new news on the Mutable Instruments site:
http://mutable-instruments.net/news
Big news is that they've received revised PCBs, so it's looking closer to a release.
Also, they've updated the images on the main page.
