ILDA Interface Eurorack Module Build
in my last video I made an interface module for a ILDA compatible laser projector. And I asked that if I had enough interest I would turn it into a real module. Well I had enough interest, and I am also told it is pronounced ILDA not Lida module into a new product. This will be the build video for those of you who want a kit. Of course I will put a few of these modules together for those of you who want one, and don’t have the desire to put it together yourself.

Today we have an older noise maker chip all the way from 1978 the AY-3-8912. while not the most capable chip, it does have the advantage of being easy to use, and this chip looks to have been recently manufactured so they should be available to those of you playing at home. Now lets see what we can do with it. recklessexperimentationaudio.com

Improved Eurorack Envelope Follower
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 3 lety
A while ago a made a breadboard module of an envelope follower, at the time I didn’t really have much use for it, so I want on to use that breadboard for other things. Then earlier this year, I was contacted by someone who was interested in having that breadboard turned into a guitar pedal. So after some back and forth about the details of the design, this pedal was born. After completing that ...
Eurorack Tube Overdrive Module
zhlédnutí 3KPřed 3 lety
I decided to go with a overdrive wave shaper type of module, because I know I can get a result with that that doesn't sound like the solid state equivalent. And honestly if you are going to the effort of using a tube, you want it to have a sound that would be hard to replicate without it. recklessexperimentationaudio.com

Really cool. Nice job
Dude, you're god-sent! I tried the same thing as you. Tried setting up an eurorack-interface but couldnt get it to work with my lypeak. I thought something was wrong... thought it was off, that there was no ILDA-mode on the device. The crappily translated manual was insinuating it would automatically switch to ILDA-mode, when a signal was present... I would have never thought of tearing the laser up and probing some random unconnected pins. Glad you did! Works for me now too! Hope you don't mind me designing my own module, I owe you brother.
Glad I could help with the laser. If I didn't want people designing their own modules based I mine, I wouldn't include schematics in my videos 😎👍
You rinse it off in the sink????
Yes, water is only bad if there is electricity. Almost all PCBs in products have had a "wash" step. I always let everything dry a day or too before powering it up.
@@Recklessexperimentationaudio yeah I get it.. just seems needless is all.. water could get trapped and lead to corrosion.. and for what benefit?
Do you have schematics or values for the green polyester capacitors on the sound generator board? Mine has a hard gunk covering the caps and I can’t read the values on them
They vary for 0.01uf to 0.1uf. I would be happy to send you some photos. Use the contact form on my website so I can get your e-mail address. recklessexperimentationaudio.com/contact
can we please be given a place to buy some of your PCB's to build ourselfs ???
How does 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning PCB's?
Works great, extra flammable. Be sure to only use it outside away form sources of ignition.
@@Recklessexperimentationaudio ---Thanks!
this is amazing!
this is why they are expensive
How can i eliminate the high pitch bleed??
Someone wanted to know how to undertake this project. I searched for a video to share and to my surprise you used the pedals you got from me quite a while ago. Glad to see the finished product. Awesome job!!!
Just stumbled across this on Modulargrid - fantastic character module
you are a genius! I have to buy the made one, hehehe
How can someone use transistors instead of op amps?
Look at vacuum tube circuits for inspiration. A triode tube and an NPN transistor do *generally* the same thing. Of course all the component values will be drastically different given your will be operating at 12-24VDC not 240VDC
Can this be adapted to work for guitar as an expression control?
Your circuit worked great on a breadboard, but on perfboard noise frequencies are too high, clean when I run the noise through a LP filter. Should I consider changing the values of my component’s? I’m getting 50pF on trigger and 9nF on the 5 pin to ground. Or do I add a LP gate, (resistor/cap)
Might want to try cleaning the flux off the perf board. Sometimes, on high impedance circuits, the flux residue can become slightly conductive. This can cause voltage leakage to different parts of the circuit. Fortunately the fix is easy.
Interesting, your schematic show a TL082, but your video indicates that you opted for the TL072; is that because of what you had on hand? I think I will try both to see which performs better, if there is any difference at all.
I accidentally typed an 8 instead of a 7. That being said, for this application, I think the two chips would work the same.
Actually the TL082 works a little better for my eurorack V/oct modulation purposes. Thank you this circuit performs better than one that uses TL074 and JFET.
nice
Wait till he discovers the AY envelopes
Fascinating and enlightening. Thank you for the plain-speak demonstration. I plan to build one of these circuits for my Buchla which is +/-15V. Would that have an impact on the resistors or caps sizing? I may build a +/- 12V on my breadboard so I can use my eurorack power to test it. Don't want to damage the Buchla. Then upsize the components. What size Ecaps are those that you use to purify the power source to the breadboard?as needed
I still don't understand why they recommend against alcohol in an ultrasonic cleaner. I think some of the folks in this industry are fear mongers.
1. Alcohol vapors are flammable. 2. Ultrasonic cleaners, especially if the fluid level gets too low, tend to aerosolize some of the liquid, which then evaporates quickly forming vapor. (Think ultrasonic humidifiers.) 3. Ultrasonic cleaners normally heat the liquid, too. Hot alcohol evaporates way faster. 4. The sheer amount of alcohol needed to fill an ultrasonic cleaner big enough for even modest size boards is significant. 5. Standard ultrasonic cleaners use normal switches, timers, and thermostats that cause sparks when switching. This could ignite alcohol vapors. The upshot is that it’s a fire risk. They make special ultrasonic cleaners for use with solvents. But often it’s not necessary to use a full-alcohol bath anyway. One thing people do is to put the board into a small container or plastic bag and put alcohol inside the bag. Then you put the bag in the ultrasonic bath full of water. Not only is this far cheaper, it’s far safer. Another option is to use a bath composed of a blend of alcohol and water. The alcohol will still do its job, but the fire risk is reduced. (This is how windshield washer fluid works.) And finally, they make water-based cleaning products for circuit boards, specifically for use in ultrasonic cleaners.
Yeah, I'm not normally someone concerned over safety issues, but this just doesn't seem like a good idea. Flux off works just fine, and I've found Micro Care's cleaners to be even more effective still.
@@ElationProductions Ultrasonic is really good for getting flux out from hard to clean nooks, like under SMD parts, where you can’t get a brush in to scrub. But I wouldn’t fill a whole ultrasonic cleaner with solvent to do it! :P
Hello! Is this maximum speed of motorized potentiometer?
How much for the prebuilt module?
Is the schematic exactly the same for the pedal?
Какая убогая хренотень, я бы выкинул на свалку
Note to self: Denatured alcohol and carburetor cleaner as well as acetone based nail polish and non acetone based nail polish are good for cleaning circuit boards, but the acetone based nail polish and the acetone based nail polish (AT LEAST) will soften any plastic that it comes into contact with. These solvents can often be reused to clean another circuit board later on if need be.
Great video! Nicely done. Could that last jumper have been the interlock that was never connected to the back panel? Just an FYI, it's not "LIDA", it's" ILDA" (ill-dah) for the International Laser Display Association. Ron
I'd definitely buy one of these 💯
I'd absolutely buy a kit! Had no idea you could get laser projectors that cheap, would be super fun to play around with 👍🏻
p.s. here's a video of a mini-show that I created using Pangolin Beyond Software and an ILDA laser projectorl czcams.com/video/pKdojQc9Q-Q/video.html
"no threading like cross threading" LOL. This is cool. I have a pretty powerful laser that I used to use (5 yrs ago) in my DJ show. I've been wanting to interface my modular (esp the Chaos modules) with the laser, but was concerned about destroying it. Keep me posted on this one. I'm pretty sure I need it.
Awesome! Is this going to GitHub or the Shop?
VERY NICE IDEA, I HOPE YOU EVER SELL A KIT OR PCB/PANEL IN YOUR CHOP ,GRTZ
Hi, really cool module! Were you able to manipulate the ym3812 as a real VCO? I know we can send messages to it to play notes in the chromatic scale, but would it work as a VCO increasing the frequency smoothly instead of just quantized notes? thank you !
awesome!
This is incredible! building your own modules looks like so much fun!
Very cool! I have this module and I’ve always wondered why I can’t use control voltage in it
nice!!!
Hey, are you able to made this reader for sale ? There is a great number or rolls on the market and people sell them for nothing. What I see is a unit with RCA jack and we just plug it in the aux input. The piano sound can be stored inside the unit and with a memory card or phone we.can choose.piano type, nice work !
Could you use this on the power supply to supply multiple modules 5v power? And are you selling these PCBs? I didn't see them on your site.
A pretty easy addition would be a bar across the board about where the heel is while playing and give it some suspension and make that the sustain pedal. Likewise for the other pedal a bar suspended just over the toes that can be pressed by raising the toe end of the foot. With these mode you could sustain with the playing foot while on any key and then rock the foot even farther back while sustaining to pull up the wah bar over the foot.
Think il just buy a set of midi pedals🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think I'll use a toothbrush and surgical spirits.
Hi, great info there! Thanks. Can I ask what material you use for the faceplate? Some kind of cardboard? Thanks
