So what's on the other side? To go with a 2600, you know you want some sequencing goodness from the Arp 2500!
Note the external 16 pin power connector on the left side, in case I add an expander.
@electropict off the top of my head, if your vco has an exponential FM input, you can spread your octave on more keys. Since i’m on my ipad, let me pull up miRack. Yep, i can adjust the attenuator on the fm input to spread 1 octave range over 2 x 12 keys, for 24 notes per octave, for example.
Some patches I posted to youtube this month. The first one reminds me of the Musica Elettronica library music album, which I love. The second one is also in the old-school "space pulses" vein. I like it, though. A pretty unpredictable patch.

"Shift Register Random Calvados Voltage"
How about a track made on my 54hp lunchbox #eurorack #modular #synth, with some rhythm also generated by the synth? Using the #Disting Mk4 algorithm F6, the shift register random quantized voltage function and frequency divider for the percussions. #korg #volca #mix compressor used to create part of the rests and syncopation. Food related? Calvados.

After a bit of “modular tetris” I finally have a Serge Dual Universal Slope Generator ready to play. I’m looking forward to trying it out in an upcoming video as well as my set for Wonder Valley in a couple of weeks. #modular #synthesizer
"Food Noise"
Another track made on the portable lunchbox #eurorack #modular #synth. Minimal techno, in the vein of experiments I was doing in the 1990s. In fact, a bit reminiscent of my "Radio Interference" album (with a bit of Little Drummer and Radio Two). #music #techno #experimental #minimal #minimalist #shortwave
It is on #soundcloud.

@muz4now the Arp 2500 was a nice #modular #synth, with a good sequencer and sequencer/mixer and interesting mod+amp and filter+amp modules. The one thing I was not a fan of, the matrix switchers. Not a matrix in the style of the Putney but instead a bunch of sliding switches. The #2600 #semimodular #synth was about as good as a semi modular gets.
My hand-built #eurorack #modular #synth case is complete (finally). Cedar and pine finished with beeswax. Joints are rabbeted and nailed. 104hp.
I'm pretty unhappy with the details in this one (as well as the overall effect of the wood choices, honestly). Keen eyes will spot many gaps, dents, dings, tears, and other cosmetic problems. I learned a lot though, not the least of which being how good a result I can get even without the aid of machinery.
The next project in this vein will be a tall folding case (17U x 104hp) built cheaply and hastily as a proof of concept like this one was. Then I'll start trying to make some with fancier joinery.
I am slowly but surely setting myself up to do some regular videos on synthesis and other audio / video / photo related subjects.
I got some starting points for synths with basic controls, semimodulars and I'm now looking at modular. Which setup would you like me to talk about? (There is more, but poll is only up to 4 choices!?)
The larger pack (pictured) has 12V (but 5525 instead of 5521, so I need a 5525 to 5521 cable to connect my lunchbox #modular #synth), a USB port and it also has a 9v (+tip) output, 4717. With that, I can run the #korg #volca #mix. Using the right combination of tip adapters, polarity switchers and daisy chain cable, I can run both the #korg #volca #mix mixer (+tip) and guitar pedals (-tip)
"Happy Wasabi Wavetable"
Another #electronic #music track done live on the battery powered 54hp lunchbox #eurorack #modular #synth. Disting Mk4 on wavetable algo, Beehive and uBursts. Sequencing & mod through Pachinko. #2HP Kick, #Bastl Skis w/radio for basic percussions. Added an RD-6 to augment the drums. Final mix through the #Korg #Volca Mix (also powered by the battery pack) sitting in the lunchbox case lid. Listen to it on #soundcloud on my lunchbox playlist:

Where to put the documentation, specs etc for your modular synth modules and power? Inside the case, of course. You'll never lose them that way. I put then inside a plastic pouch too.
Mecha Comet modular Linux handheld gets pre-launch upgrade, coming to Kickstarter in Q3, 2025
The Mecha Comet is a phone-sized modular computer with a small touchscreen display positioned above a modular input area where you can place a QWERTY keyboard, game pad, or other devices.
After making its debut at CES in January, the Mecha Comet has undergone some changes – in a recent live stream the company announced it would upgrade the processor, display, and ports. That’s the good […]
