5V Power ???

While searching for my DC power supplies for 5V DC i had the glorious idea of using the USB 5V for the MB808 Testing. 50mA should be fine from the Apple. If there would be a short or power drain, then the Apple would block the port. Glorious Idea at 1:24 morning.

 

New Modules

Since the weather has become ugly i am returning to my workbench. As you might have seen on diy.czmok.de i am currently working on a wire-out of a FOCUSRITE Octopre. My GSSL is currently at a forum member for fixing and finishing ( as i’m lacking time for everything and i really want to start making music ).

Today’s module work is the DFA-930 Inverter+Multiple from Bridechamber, it’s now sitting near the modular as i used JB Weld to glue the holders, so i am finishing this module tomorrow (wiring stufF).

In the meantime i look again into the MB808 issues, as why i am not getting +5V on the rail.

 

Sunday (rain and such)

As i couldn’t afford (and wont) a real TR808 and TR909 Combo i started to acquire the TR9090 kit besides the MB808 i am working on. This takes substantially more more, but i’d really like to see those two kicking.

Also, my acquired AudioKontrol 1 from NI arrived. Working good now, after i realized updating(tm) the drivers to the recent one brought me a lot of segfaults, so i stick to the original driver to use it with SL 10.6.1.

With the _older_ driver the box is awesome, low latency, and i really like the Guitar Amplifier emulations (despite i don’t play guitars of any kind) but as well the soundscapes with the supplied Kore Player. I am now stuck between two worlds: analog – and – digital . Modular Synth User and Laptop Fighter.
