JJ, great stuff. A fun thread and your Lunetta has a very distinctive sound.

Thanks very much chaps Very Happy I am honoured by your compliments oh great and powerful mosc Wink

I have been working on the box today, my hands hurt from bashing the metal Crying or Very sad I have used all recycled parts, the metal is from an old broken DVD player and I found the wood in skips.

P.S. This thing is getting a metal and wooden case (just like my other devices).

Not really, It's just going to look industrial and old. Wood and metal, but nothing really victorian about it.
but keep those eyes peeled (eeeew peeled eyes, gross!) I will make one of them steampunk eventually Wink

I'm still working on this device, I lacked some parts but I might be able to get some. However it may have to wait untill after christmas. Bah humbug.

Less cryptic and more descriptive videos/photos coming soon! Watch this space!


P.S. eternal salivation could be yours for just £1, act now or don't, the choice isn't yours!

Inner space?
It's a bit like lunetta, in that one day my synth will look kind of like the controls of that machine Very Happy

The case is entirely scavenged or second hand parts, old dials from radiogams and old televisions, wood from who knows where and metal from a broken dvd player Very Happy

P.S. the power connector is two bolts Smile

I could kiss you! Laughing Not only is mad max 3 one of my favorite films but it is definately an influence on the things I build.

looks great! I especially like how you use the shape of the front plate to your advantage.

Have you considdered building a filter? Or something like a spring reverb?
Although I do like the sound of a raw lunetta, Im always missing the lower end. A good filter and some reverb adds a lot of body to the sound.

That is a totally beautiful instrument, and the music is great. i love that you used knobs from a Radiogram, i device of which i have never heard. I thought a radiogram was the measure of the mass of radio waves. Anyway, i love it!

Radio waves don't have mass Laughing a radiogram is a cross between a radio and a gramophone.

Yes, I intend to eventually, I have some parts and lots of designs on the line up of things to build.

"Who run Bartertown? ....Louder can't hear you!"

The Mad Max films are some wild flicks; saw them all as first runs in the theater back in the day.

Okay, okay, Lift Embargo!

But did you see Mad Max: Beyond the Heterodyne? Two waves enter, one wave leaves!

Weirdness indeed. I'm working on a minisynth using the top octave divider found elsewhere in the DIY forum. Nothing, but nothing I've tried has worked right over the past few days (waveshapers, transistor latches) and tonight I got kinda frustrated and fed up. The end result is this. I took the tl072 that I been trying unsuccessfully to get to work as an integrator and wired it up as a quadrature oscillator. That didn't really work right either, but after feeding it inputs from the octave divider, the octave divider running through a 4018 sinewave shaper (which works pretty much as it should, but 4 bit sine waves kinda suck) and a 4069 oscillator I got this and it helped to take the edge off. Note that there shouldn't be -anything- on the left channel, what you hear on the left channel is my poor amplifier letting signal bleed through.

Krumbeeperly is a word that comes to mind upon hearing your sounds Smile what exactly does a top octave divider do?

Divides a clock signal into the chromatic scale then divides that down to the various octaves..

Not terribly Lunetta but very very cmos.

I have a great analogy for the inner workings of a 4040, it involves tiny magical elves of varying heights being electroshock tortured into jumping. I will tell it to you some time.
I put the breadboard away for a week or two while I worked on some stuff using.....premade instruments (hey, my Waldorf missed me). Just broke it back out.
Here are some proof-of-concept sort of noodlings I did testing out using a 4007 as an electrically variable resistor to control a filter. Still need to do much tweaking but I'm fairly overjoyed just that it works. Used the octave divider circuit for the filter's input an a 40106 for the frequency modulation control on the filter, ummm... yay for FM VCF.
(Banana, dancing then possibly exploding).

these are great and rich sounds - that's a cool idea. maybe you can share your implementation - it would be fun to see.
