studio - selfmade and modded gear
in research for the perfect sound i built a lot of synths and other stuff.
i plan to make subpages for the individual ones.
ML 303 - the most accurate TB303-clone First: it was NOT me who created this jewel. This goes far beyond my capabilities. I put it in the selfmadesection because it fits much better to the other DIY-projects. This is a new repair-modding-project in 2008. The ML303 is a private noncommercial DIY-soldering communityproject from germany and is widely considered as the most accurate TB303-Cone - this might come from the fact, that it just IS a TB303 - exactly the same circuit, same electronic parts from japan, VERY accurate details like the 5.333V in PSU and much more ... I grabbed this from the bay. Not cheap although it was announced as nonfunctional - which indeed was true :) Read more about my attempt, leading this piece of electronic bay-junk to a whining, yelling, pumping, babbeling musical instument with some capabilities, a lame original TB303 can only dream of. sold |

Syncussion Zapp It is a drum synthesizer. You feed a trigger-signal into it and get a short sound out of it. There are 4 simple decay-envelopes, 2 VCA, a double-oscillator with frequency- and ringmodulation, a versatile noise source, a typical twin-t-circuit drumvoice, an attenuator and a multimode vcf. |

MoogOSCar - a 20year old prototype Not realy selfmade. I bought this unique prototype of an OSCar (sitting in a case of a moog source) in a horrible condition and brought it back to life and music. see some pix of the long way from a piece of junk to a jewel |

Modded Roland TR 606 A heavily modded 606 with a custom woodcase, individual outputs, Midi-Trigger with velocity ... Here are 4 sheets with some notes in form of "R122 change to 1 MOHM-Pot". sheet 3 and 4 are the schematics also with some notes. i made them while searching the interesting moddingpoints. they are offered as is, please dont ask for details. it is 2 years ago and the machine is sold. sold |

Analogue Step-Sequencer a handwired stepsequencer with lots of musical manipulationfeatures. sold |
 |
stereo optical compressor a very simple stereo compressor using a ldr-led-combination. it is definately NOT the ultimate mastering-weapon for the perfect mix. but it was fun to build it.

| amputator - tubefilter/distortion this should have been something like the spl charisma which i didnt like because it was to neat (no real distortion) this one has a 2-band tone control, in- and out-levelcontrol and only contains some resistors and condensators and 2 tubes, no silicon |
