Build Your Own Clone Message Board

That's not gonna work. Those jacks are too small.

Dude.....I want one!!

Can't wait to see the final of that whole project!

Superb work as usual!

Where can i buy ribbon cable?

So when can you build me a moog modular clone Rick?

Right after you Paypal me.

Here's another:

Man, you must have used that ribboncable for aeons now Rick!?
How muh do you got left?
How much do I need to prostitute myself for a modular synthbuild from you?
ANd yeah, Im actually serious for once.

Lots of ribbon cable left.

If you can build pedals you can build modular synths. Why don't you DIY? A full FC>UK modular ain't gonna be cheap. Just the two modules in this thread would run you $400.........

I'm building this system just for me, but also planning to release a few original modules designs.

Yeah, i know Rick. Been looking at doing a preamp for a lunchbox for a couple of years now hehe.

Wonderful - there's no point in saying I want one 'cos I can't afford it. I like it because it has a very high coefficient of twiddling (this is a physics term meaning a large number of knobs for the size. The correct scientific units are "knobs per square metre".)

Damn both of those are sick!

Now for a pair of envelope generators.....

Ridiculously cool, which is sort of the norm for you, isn't it? Did you pick up the faceplates somewhere, or did you machine them yourselves?

You couldn't point me towards some decent references about building up modular synth stuff, could you? I keep meaning to get started (most of my friends are synth, rather than guitar, people and keep asking me . . .)

Thanks Robert.

If you wanna get into synth building there are a couple of good forums:

...as well as a plethora of DIY sites, here's a couple:

I'm offering PCBs on the synth DIY forums for all my synth projects too, becoming a synth guru (apparently!)....

Nice rack mount. those builds remind me of the first book that got me started
book on the far left. lots of rack mounts in there

Link?

I just started with a couple MFOS modular projects but most of their circuit boards are too large to fit in a eurorack case

the book on the left has nice projects in it

Yeah, I've got both his books, well PDF.

The book in the middle by Adrian Legg is worth big bucks, it's got series wiring techniques and tons of tricks. I seriously recommend that book to anyone and everyone who wants more out of their guitar pickups. It's way out of print and I still see them once in awhile on the net for sale

The story so far:

I like it, almost too much

Insanity, that is a killer build there
