So this is fun: Hackaday just started a new contest to design a crazy computer peripheral.

And just adding some more images. Maybe I should host these somewhere instead...

Sadly I can't find any technical or datasheet information on the ATI CW16800-B main chip.

Thanks for your comments.

Lots of reading and research at the moment.
I'm going to have to learn how to code interactions with ports and registers eventually, this might be the project to do it.

A little update.

Nothing interesting or cool yet in terms of output from the card, but I have some other ideas.

I soldered connectors to the pins on the card and separated the address and data p ...

As far as I can tell, this is called the ATI Graphics Solution Plus.

Here's a link to some information about it, but suffice to say it is very old(1987!) and was one of the very first graphics card ...

Hi all, hope you're doing well.

I have a lot of old obsolete sound and graphics cards.
Let's see if they can do anything interesting with Lunettas!

The approach:
-Learn about the connector p ...

Anybody have access to the Intro to Lunetta document? I need it!

Oops! Didn't realize this link went dead. I'm surprised anyone still knows it exists! Very Happy

Thanks Phobos! Yes those are Ryk's knobs, I even bought some wooden dowel of the same size to make some more.

Hi all

Very cool, great build!

Do you have some patches or connections that you do regularly out of habit?

Hello again!

This is really about a fear of mains voltages.
The answer may be to just purchase a synth power supply and make some modules already.

That said:

Hello awesome people.
Does anyone have an opinion on using an 18v rechargeable tool battery as a power supply?

It seems like you should be able to put together a regulated +/- 12v supply from one ...

This is a cool project.
I know you're already far along, but thought you might enjoy looking at my 4029/4067 based sequencer. There's a writeup at:

Hello!
That looks really amazing, congrats. Smile

I just saw this thread.
RIP Stanley, sad that you are gone.

Hi all, I work at a university and want to share some great work done by one of our recent graduates. She designed and built this system utilizing Pure Data and an Arduino based device. Enjoy!

I just now saw your site and it is very impressive. I like the detail you have put into the descriptions and PDFs of the modules, and that it is a 9v system. Good stuff!

Too much of a good thing? Sounds like a plan! Smile

Commanth I live in Oxfordshire, it's quite easy to get to London as well for stuff. Are you in the area?

Hi everyone, I'm living in the UK now and came across this in a local shop. I thought you might enjoy it.

Cheers!

I still have it! Actually I used it and the lunetta in a synth DIY presentation recently, which made me want to build stuff again. A modular lunetta like yours would be amazing to build.

Phobos that machine is amazing and inspiring. Wow!

What a cool machine, well done.

I like this kind of jack because they are very inexpensive and the metal sleeve goes all the way out to the front of the plastic:

And then I use Aligator clip cables because a dozen of them are ver ...
