DIY KOSMO Modular Synth Format Jumbler (some thing I built)

- The KOSMO modular format from @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER is awesome, and I've had a rather... interesting journey from failure to great success in building the modules. Interfacing it with my Eurorack or other gear was a bit of a pain though, so I built my first completely DIY module to let me easily connect up to test equipment, and other bits and bobs. Here's what I did.
In other news, I am off on a mini tour with @SLIMECITY for the next few days, and so will be a bit slower on the ol' replies/uploads than normal. Please forgive me. Please. Please. Please.

So glad to see this is moving along! I can't wait to witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!! 🐀
That may take a while :D
Lmao nice!
That acrylic sheet you're showing in the video is flexing a lot as you're drilling. It's usually a better idea to support it from all sides as close to where you're working as possible, that should help with cracking. If you have some soft scrap wood, you could also just put on top of the wood and drill through the acrylic into the wood. That gives you maximum support, though it is a bit messier.
Do u build curcits bud?
Oh that is a great tip. Thank you. That'll be why I cracked the first one. I'll definitely use a bit of scrap wood next time!
@@tohellandbacknoface4091 Me or eagereyes?!
@@StephenMcLeod eager eyes. I know you do mush ive been observing 👁👁
@@tohellandbacknoface4091 I used to build more stuff, haven't done much in a little while. But I still make the occasional cable or build little MIDI toys with Ardiunos. Why?
Charming and inspiring
Thank you!!
"If I can do this, you can definitely do this." Pretty sure I said that to you about Kosmo and now look what you've got up to.
Aye but you're definitely more capable than I :D
You got this!
I am clearly now a DIY genius
Yea same! Getting there my soldering is garbage. Are you gonna label stuff how you go about that?
eXCELLENT! Hope the screw fitting doesn't split. Well done. Looking forward to a demo. Side note; discovering the joy of waveshaping my neutron with my latest module from Doepfer. So many timbres.
Don't jinx it!!

DIY synths are awesome!
So long as they work!
I for one love the cyberpunk DIY future we live in.
Hell yeah. If it comes down to it I will 100% be eaten by wolves though
Hah, well done! That’s quite the colour! I tend to make my panels as PCBs and order them from a fab house. Probably would be a bit more expensive for Kosmo format, but works out to about 5-9€ for 5 Eurorack panels. This way I don’t have to drill anything or do any wiring and it’s sturdy enough! My first completely DIY module was a +/- 5V limiter so that I don’t have to worry about magic smoke with synths that don’t like more than that on the inputs 😀 4 channels in 4HP! I was very proud of that too 😎 Are you planning to design some active circuits too? I’m currently working on turning the MFOS Noise Cornucopia into a Eurorack module. Already have it working on a breadboard, so I’ll be doing the PCB design next! Fun fun!
I love the yellow! 5eur for give is awesome. I suspect I will end up on active circuits at some point but it's beyond my needs just now ha
Nice one!! Woooot! 😁👊
Thanks man!
Suggestion for alternate material... PCB (or just the blank FRP). You can get PCBs fabricated (with holes and cut outs) quite cheaply these days, with some artistic skill you could add Copper/Resist/Silk-Screen to make your panel all fancy like. If you go "active", you could even layout the circuit(s) on the underside of the lid - though that likely means going surface mount (soldering is that difficult as long as you stay with the larger parts).
Or, as secondary thought, you could recycle PCBs... would be quite cool having another person's circuit showing through...
It's a good suggestion! Something that's probably the next step or two along from my current level mind :D
Format jumbler first..... next modular synth bike ala look mum no computer 😉👍
That would get me battered in Glasgow haha
Get a drill press! -If you want to cut aluminum sheets you can buy a little A4 size cutter for metal & pcb's, but they are quite expensive...
I have one but it's rubbish! My issue is mostly my terrible measurement. Maybe I need to get a better one.
