At last there is progress on my 8-Step Eurorack Sequencer! This Arduino based device not only got plenty of CV options but multiple units can be chained together for longer sequences! In this video I take a look at the fully working prototype and talk about the technical details. Full DIY kits and PCBs of the module will be available later on this year. Have fun!

First demo of the step sequencer: https://youtube.com/shorts/KIN2WQEZNrk

This is another videos in my basic electronic component series. Today I'm going to take a closer look at op-amps or operational amplifiers. Op-amps are one of the most important building blocks in analog, DIY synthesizers and have all sorts of applications. Enjoy!

This is a first demo of my Eurorack Sequencer. The second sequencer is manipulating the first one via CV, all the modules are part of my DIY Eurorack line-up. The sequencer will be available later on this year when the software is finished.

I started a new videos series about basic components used for synthesizer DIY or electronics in general. In this video I'm going to take a look at resistors and its applications and how you can read the colored markings. Let's get started!

In this video I look into building a simple Eurorack case with two rows of 104 HP. I use aluminium profiles like in the Doepfer casings to keep the modules in place. Let's get started!

In this video I look into digitally controlled oscillators (DCOs), how the work and which problems need to be solved.

The video on the classic analog oscillator design can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJIUcveN_YU

Schematics and software for the DCO can be found here: https://github.com/polykit/pico-dco

In this video I look into a classic oscillator design like in the 70s. We will see why it got replaced by integrated circuits, DCOs and other digitally controlled oscillators.
