Hi! I'm Benjie. I'm a DIY modular synthesizer maker from the


Here’s some noodling on the double uO_c I finally got around to assembling the SynthCard that @adamwonak sent me a while back! Noise patch using the Feedback Ferret from @knosplmodular! Soundcheck with @datuarellano on the Wonderpole! Still have a hangover from last Thursday’s show. 🎢 The new Baby-8 build works! I placed the toggles a little too close to the knobs. Another thing to fix in the next version. 😁 Yeah, that took some hacking to make it work.. πŸ˜† Usually, I'd bring out my rotary tool for this, but I've recently been trying to learn how to carve! I didn't notice it at first, but the jacks were actually hitting the LEDs on my previous build. The I tried placing SMD LEDs under the jack sockets! Thank you so much to everyone who dropped by last Tuesday! 🧑 🧑 🧑 Using the MiniBurst with two audio-rate oscillators turns it into a weird sync mixer! I've been enjoying using my wavefolder prototype as a VCA lately! 😊 πŸŽ›οΈ πŸŽ›οΈ πŸŽ›οΈ Used @setonixsynth's Laka as an overkill OR-gate for my MiniBurst demo! πŸŽ›οΈ My MiniBurst module doing random bursts of sixteenth-notes OR gated with a steady quarter-note pulse I found that tuning the SMT version of MiniOSC accross multiple octaves is a bit more tedious than t Sorted my recycle bins It works! My new deadbug double-wavefolder module works great with the triangle output of my MiniOSC New wavefolder prototype finally on breadboard I still have to calibrate my new oscillator, but it works great so far! The new PCBs are here and they look sooo good. Thanks, @pcbway! 🧑 🧑 🧑 Building more bus boards! Stocking up on more IDC 16P headers Built a second VU meter to help me monitor both channels of my stereo setup. πŸŽ›οΈ πŸŽ›οΈ πŸŽ›οΈ Testing the Sync-in mod for my MiniOSC It's been a while since my last PCB modules. Time to change that! Preparing some busboards for my old Eurorack case I'm trying to revive. My happy place. I can finally get back to building modules and making synth stuff after taking a sho Revisiting the FM input of my MiniOSC module. Getting ready for V2?? I recently brought my DIY spring reverb home from @anima.artspace! This is definitely something that I should have built much earlier! Something slow this time... Finally got around to tuning my Mutable Rings clone. πŸ˜† Trying out a new workflow for doing stereo patches! Listen with headphones 🎧 I'm home! Too bad I wasn't able to get a stereo recording of my ambient patch last Saturday Quick walkthrough of my setup for @munitheband's concert Just me making noises during soundcheck. #HindiItoAngTunayNaMundo Thank you so much for letting me do this, @munitheband! I had so much fun. Congrats sa inyo! πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ πŸ“· Ready na @munitheband! #HindiItoAngTunayNaMundo #synthdiy #sdiy #diysynthesizer #diysynth #diymodul Here's how I make straight pieces of 22AWG tinned copper wire for my SynthDIY builds. πŸŽ›οΈ Removing anti-rotation tabs from potentiometers for SynthDIY Using my Slew Limiter build to turn my Baby-8 sequencer into a smooth LFO I just published the docs for my Slew Limiter on my website! Catch me this Saturday 8PM at @monobyphono for @synthicide's INTERZONE show. Prototyping a burst generator module based on Ken Stone's Cat Girl Synth design Wrapped-up my handwired EuroPi #3 Congratulations to @sevenlakeskomiksfestival and @casasanpabloph on a successful event yesterday!
