SDIY - Irish Synth DIY group?

synesthesia

Hey Guys,

I don't know how many of you are into modular\analog synths ... and how many are interested in Synth DIY.

I built a couple of modules myself, and a x0xb0x, and am planing to start another 5U modular.

I have been gathering stuff, often in multiples : PCB's jacks socket - etc. and I am constantly researching that stuff. I have been help by a few locals guys before so I know there is a bit of interest.

Would there be any interest into creating a SDIY group ?
- where we could share resources ?
- organise group buys of parts or PCB's to keep the cost down
- where we could help each other ?

http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/ is really the ultimate forum for info, but you know, we are not a lot in Ireland so we should help each others - right ?

Let me know if you are interested.

I'd be v interested

I have 2 - 3 guys in already

what do you think is the best format ? yahoo group ? mailling list ?

romarr

good stuff !

yeah some kind of group ... dont know the yahoo group format but the google ones works pretty well (imagane yahoo is pretty much the same)... Fbook groups work very well too

ps: i have zero experience in synth builds but its something i always wanted to have a poke at, i can wield a soldering iron allright but thats about it !

I'll check the google group - that sounds good

No worries for the no experience I don't have many under my belt either, but i like researching and there is a lot of lads around with TONNES of experience

I'm a fan of analog/modular synthesis but have little experience with building modules etc. I'll definitely check out the group though.

synesthesia

Thanks Man

it starting really so it is good to have people of all level! I have very little experience too - but i am quite motivated i have finished my dual VCO and a multiple module, and should have my power distribution system nailed in the coming days ...

Sounds cool, do i just send a request to be added through the group and wait for it to be accepted? (or not ha)

Any plans to relocate the group to Facebook?

Can you get notifications in a Google plus account for a Google group?

I'd join but there's no way I'd be checking for posts manually!

Hey Waveform!

Not really several of us are not on facebook ( i am though ) - and the one which are are already part of the global SDIY group, 4U modular ... and probably 10 other SDIY groups

you don't need to check post manually though, they arrive in your mailbox - checking manually is only an option !

Just joined there.

By mailbox do you mean your email inbox, or the global google account mailbox up the top?

There was an option to link my g+ account so it would use my photo, hoping the notifications get linked up too!

synesthesia

You are now in the group

I did mean your email inbox indeed

|Hmmm i haven't explore the link to google + - maybe there is a way to link the group !

Hi, I am glad that I have found this forum (and also signed up for your google forum). I am totally new in analog synthesizers. I have found your post saying that you have an analog four.
I am having trouble syncing ni maschine with analog four. Can you help me with
connection and settings? I have connected it by midi cable, midi in from a4 to midi out on maschine. My settings is that maschine sends midi clock and a4 receives but its not syncing.
I am totally new in that kind of things.
I have changed some settings, now I have in maschine sync to external midi clock and in a4 settings clock send but i left cable connection like it was before, midi in on a4 and midi out on maschine controler. In maschine preferences I set up sync offset slave on -79 and now is working good but after few min its going out of sync. Especially when I press stop and play it again (I need to set up sync offset slave in maschine preferences every time when I press stop and play again).
Before I made that changes I was trying with maschine preferences sync offset slave and also with clock offset in outputs midi settings and I couldn`t sync it.
Am I doing something wrong?
I am a totally beginner so very sorry for stupid questions
Hope you understand because my english is not very well.
I tried also with usb, same problem. Is it possible that my analog four is faulty?
Is it possible to meet and maybe you can check it or something like that?:)
Please help
