Ty Humphrey aka ‘Video Dub Poobah’ had a chance to test out a HDP video prototype at a live show put on by AnalogueHaven. Here is a shot of his setup at the show. Ty told me he ran it for 7 straight hours with no problem. I took a standard video player you can get from eBay and then converted it for eurorack use. Many people are not aware there is a video synthesis side to eurorack. One of the places you can find more info is HERE which is the video forum section at Muffwiggler.com

Sammich SID Eurorack Module
With most of my time being spent in euro these days I was missing some SID sounds. Yes I know there is a SID module out there, but I was missing Sammich, so I eurofied it! Conversion took a little bit of doing and some modifications were necessary. The biggest being the extra row of LED’s on top for the CV/Gate conversion indicators, but other than that I now have Sammich in my eurorack!
GRAECO
Ever have two modules go together so well, like peanut butter and jelly?
Well I have two so I decided they should marry and become one. Introducing the happy marriage of Grains from Ginko Synthese and Echo from Synthrotek!
Links respectively.

I added a vactrol as a vca between them and the vca is normaled to the jacks so that patch is internal. However if you want to use the Echo and detach it from the grains, all you need to do is insert your new source into the ‘in’ jack.
Went a little crazy on the screenprint and tried a deep pink and subtle grey on a flat black panel.
Jammin’ with a Synthboy+!
Recently BloodCode got his Synthboy+ set up and shared a little of what he was working on. You can check out more here: https://instagram.com/bloodcodemusic/
EURO-X-FADER
Been working on this concept for a while now. Curious to see if there is interest. I find it great for live cross fading and also scratching effects with the CV straight into an Oscillator! Pics of the prototype. PDF Manual HERE!
Moog Minitaur Eurorack module
(UPDATE) KITS ARE NOW AVAILABLE HERE!!! (/UPDATE)
(UPDATE) KITS ARE NOW AVAILABLE HERE!!! (/UPDATE)
Well, since there was no good news from Moog this year at Namm regarding Moog Eurorack modules, I guess I will move along my Moog Euro obsession by making my own! Next up the Minitaur. This has been the easiest to convert over to the euro standard so far. Makes me think Moog is just toying with the euro crowd at this point. Let’s hope they are working on modules for us euro freaks.
Moog MF-1001 Eurorack module
Demand for Moog euro is growing. Here is a converted MoogerFooger I just finished. These Moog guitar pedals can be converted to fit into the euro format, but there is some real effort in doing so. However this has to be the creamiest filter I have ever heard, so the effort is justified:) I might do a run of these conversions. Up next, possibly the MF-103 Phaser. If it sounds as good as the filter than again the effort is justified:)
Korg enters Euro-world, well kind of;)
How much fun is this? Take a new Korg Mini KaossPad 2 and customize it to fit a eurorack modular. I hope Korg is watching, because they could easily double the price of their current offering just by adding a couple of necessities and putting it behind a panel. I added attenuation knobs of the incoming left and right channels and then added an amp to both outgoing channels to boost it to modular levels. I also added a latching switch to the mic input, so you can use it as an effective 3rd channel in. Using the hold feature is like setting two pots instantly, so fellow wigglers that kinda changes the game as far as immediate performance of your effects in euroland:) Before you write this off as cheesy, look at the list of features this little guy has and compare it to any of your current eurorack modules.
