I've been enjoying your series. In fact noticing it on Hackaday was what lead me to this forum.
There was a problem with the sound on the latest videos, the synbal was drowning everything else out. Hopefully having a mixer will sort that out. Looking forward to 102!

Hooray! If you like that stuff, you'll love it here.

Really? Which clips? I just re-listened to the Intro clip and it's fine.

What are you using for speakers? I actually recorded the audio for one of the demos with a mix that played well on my cheap computer speaker monitor and then noticed that it was super bassy over good headphones, so I re-jiggered some of the resistors for the production versions.

Or maybe I messed up. Smile

Anyway, I'm working on the mixer stuff now, so that's exactly what's on my mind.

All Clips.

I was playing it over the laptop's inbuilt speakers which would be really bass poor.

I gotta say, being new to all this stuff I absolutely love your posts/videos/explanations. I find it takes me repeated exposures to wrap my brain around this CMOS logic stuff, and you present it in such a great way that immediately shows how it's useful in a musical way!

I will be adding some of those 4069 twin T circuits to my modular ASAP. When I heard that bass drum my jaw dropped and I immediately got on mouser to order components. What an amazing sound for such a simple circuit! So good. Thanks so much for sharing.

Woot!

Bang-for-the-buck has been the theme of the whole Logic Noise project. Hope you keep getting something out of it.

Your tour video is great, and I especially like that it's hidden away in a fishing(!) blog. The left-hand tap advance sequence for the bassline combined with the slidey pitches and the ghetto tuneable keyboard sound fantastic, human, and very musical. Nice stuff.

I'm probably going to build everything you've covered! I especially appreciate you tackling shift registers... Although I still have some trouble understanding what's happening, your explanations are extremely helpful.

Thanks!! Yeah it used to be 100% a fishing blog, now it's more of a recounting of my adventures in fishing, hunting, foraging, woodworking, coding, music, and now electronics. I like hobbies!

I have a more thorough video of my synth here:
http://cb.hopto.org/cbfishes/2015/05/05/this-is-why-i-built-a-modular/

It can make lots of cool sounds, and soon, even more.

Thanks again! Can't wait for the next installment of Logic Noise

@cbfishes
I really like the YouTube Video of your Analog Synth. That little keyboard is very nice. Well done !!!

Hi Elliot,
Your series is wonderful.
I'm a professional musician but a beginner in electronics.
Thanks for the illuminating articles. Im planning to try and build many of them.

Hi Izhar,

Welcome to the electro-music Lunetta forum. It doesn't seem like Elliot (hexagon5un) is around at the moment but go have a look at the forum posts because there is plenty more here. I can heartily recommend Synaesthesia's work. If you have any questions post here and someone will answer.

Enjoy!

Steveg

Hey folks,

I'm currently writing up a weekly column at Hackaday.com on noise-making with CMOS chips.

I've cribbed ideas from everywhere, naturally, including here. So I thought I'd first of all say thanks, and second, head on over and have a look / listen.

So far, we've built up a 40106 square osc and enriched it a bit by hard-syncing two oscs together. Then, played around with the 4040 binary counter to make octaves. Finally, hooked the counter up to a 4051 switch to make a pitch / timbre (through the sync osc pitch) sequencer.

http://hackaday.com/2015/02/04/logic-noise-sweet-sweet-oscillator-sounds/
http://hackaday.com/2015/02/17/logic-noise-8-bits-of-glorious-sounds/
http://hackaday.com/2015/02/23/logic-noise-the-switching-sequencer/

Next week, I'll dig into some of the more analog-y options, using a 4069UB to buffer up the triangle wave on the input of the 40106, and then playing around with overdrive options and simple filtering.

And then after that? AR-VCAs? Voltage controlled sawtooth? More counters? 4046 tricks? Beats me. Any thoughts?

The main constraint is that it's ~30 minutes worth of build-time for the projects per stage, that they cumulate, and that you get something kinda cool out.

I've been liking the one-chip-per-week pace, but it's not set in stone.

If you've got a favorite, high output/effort ratio circuit, let me know in the comments at Hackaday or the forum here.

And if you've got any other feedback for the column, positive or negative, let me know! I'm always stoked to hear back, and y'all are my (ideal) target audience.


Is it you??? Man, i have found it week ago. This is incredible series! I love that. Keep posting!

Thank you Steveg!
I'm learning so much around here.
