Don't think I've posted a photo of my modular yet. Interested to see what the rest of you have -- I'm sure that Rick, at least, has a beast of a machine...

the case is DIY, as is this module (sequencer of my own design)

I have a few non-modular synths as well
That looks hugely fun to mess about with! I like the sequencer -- CPU driven?

yup, microcontroller. I wanted to do fancy stuff like convert CV-in to step position, stuff that wouldn't be very easy with ttl
You guys are insane.
carry on.

With all the knob twiddling... when do you find the time to actually PLAY the instrument? :icon_lol:

The knob twiddling IS the instrument, at least fairly often. You use a wave generator to create a tone and then warp it using the various modules. Or it's fed via midi (meaning, programmed and then manually manipulated).
A tip I saw on the MW forums was to complexify the control path, and simplify the audio path.

exactly :icon_biggrin: I don't even have a keybed hooked up to it. knob twiddling for hours, drones, textures, sound design, etc.
awesome thread and builds.... 8) 8) 8)
superb.

I got a new case sorted out :) so I can put more modules in! Still all DIY (some kits in there... the Synthrotek Echo kit has gone in since that photo, plus a second Braids. The Echo has a very odd voicing to it.)
I still want to see everyone else's synth setup! :)
midi controller with cv out! for less than $150:

anyone try it yet? i have a few modules and stand-alones that i want to play with a trad keyboard instead of the diy stuff (push button, stylus controller, ribbon, etc.). considering how expensive a real controller is and how complicated it is to DIY for 150 bucks, how could it be that bad?
Hey garcho, try the Rock Band 3 keytar, has a midi output. Goes for about $20 used on ebay. The expression controller is really nice too.
EDIT: whoops, no cv out, nevermind!
Here's my humble entry......haven't had the time to do much with this. Hope to build some cv controlled modules in the future.
The case for this originally housed a grinding wheel for a crankshaft pin machining operation. For the world's most popular (best selling in total worldwide units) vehicle, lol.....for what that's worth.
