A fascinating new look at what is basically an Apple II Mockingboard soundcard...for the PC...sold by Mindscape.

"Do you own the rarest PC sound card in the world?" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eeo4INoGyRY

Three new boards for my #StackSynth arrived from @aislerhq yesterday. They are buffer, #ADSR, and #VCO. The VCO is the first with #SMD components on the bottom side. Two resistor values are missing in my SMD collection: 30k and 68k. I already soldered the ADSR and tested it. The buffer will follow tomorrow.

I somehow missed that #Korg released a mark 2 of the #nts1 synth, which addresses the few problems I had with the original (the mini-USB port, the 15-minute auto-shutoff) while adding a bunch of features (especially I/O).

(I was using it primarily for the excellent effects engine, and it would go to sleep after 15 minutes of not pressing any notes. Now timeout is 3 hours--and you can disable it.)

Pricier than the original, but still a heck of a deal.

The next Eurorack module is in the making. It is an envelope generator using the 555 timer IC. The circuit is based on René Schmitz "Fastest Envelope in the West" and I replaced the trigger circuit with my own design. See https://www.schmitzbits.de/adsr.html for details. #eurorack #synth #synthesizer #synthdiy #adsr #envelope

I can feel my brain getting back in to #synth mode. Articles and posts keep catching my eye. I want to do some #music thing. 18yo was asking how to make a cymbal sound using white noise and #adsr + filters.

One thing stopping me before was that the house always had people in it. 3/6 of us are leaving for school in weeks.

I'm thinking either #bitwig #daw or #puredata. Or both!
