During April of 2016 I was invited once again, by my good friends from Athens, to prepare a workshop for the FASMA Festival. An amazing 3 day marathon with more than 30 artists from all around the world 🙂 For the workshop I designed a pocket 3 voice touch Relaxation Oscillator based on the CD40106 Schmitt Trigger.… Continue reading Fasma 2016 Festival – DIY Synth
The Basslet
I’ve been very quiet lately. Tough very very busy the last year! Some of you may know I’ve been working in a Berlin-based startup, that developed the Basslet – the first subwoofer for your body that fits on your wrist ( just like the very old Basscouch project! ). When you listen to music on your headphones,… Continue reading The Basslet
SH1106 OLEDs
Recently I ordered some OLEDs from ebay. They looked so good that I could not resist but order a whole bunch of them. Though the second batch came with the SH1106 driver instead of SSD1306. It took me a while to figure out why they were not working and showing only in the first few rows but… Continue reading SH1106 OLEDs
Digital Warrior – The final battle
After the release of the Sequencer Edition last November I’ve worked more on improving a little bit the enclosure. My main goal was using a little bit better materials and closing up the sides, for a more solid, finished feel. After a lot of thinking and design iterations I ended up “borrowing” an idea from… Continue reading Digital Warrior – The final battle
Alzheimer’s 1 Delay – Teensy Stomp Box
As soon as I discovered the new update for the Teensy Audio Library I decided to put it to some use. I had a couple of guitar pedal parts around and a nice little OLED display from ebay. I stacked the Teensy Audio Adaptor below my own Teensy Synth control board. and squeezed them into the… Continue reading Alzheimer’s 1 Delay – Teensy Stomp Box
Teensy Synth control board
I really love using the Teensy micro controller. It goes almost into every project I do, from art installations to MIDI controllers and instruments. That’s why I developed a small break out board with some of the most common features I use. It break outs the digital and analog pins in groups also a 3.3V,… Continue reading Teensy Synth control board
x0x heart build – TB 303 clone
This is a TB-303 clone build based on the x0x-heart board from Open Music labs and my own Teensy Synth control board. Built into a hand crafted wooden enclosure with a lid (thanks to my super Demi babe) and an engraved aluminium face plate. It has MIDI DIN in, through, audio out, controls over waveform,… Continue reading x0x heart build – TB 303 clone
Traktor DJ Charts export
Couple of days ago I was wondering by which artists and labels I’ve been playing tracks mostly the last few months. After a quick search I realized that I can’t even export DJ charts out of Traktor. So one sleepless night I developed a small Processing application that would pull and count track plays from… Continue reading Traktor DJ Charts export
Digital Warrior Sequencer Edition
I am happy to announce the release of a third Digital Warrior edition. The new hardware controls are focused on the stand alone sequencer firmware, turning the MIDI controller into an full blown 4 track monophonic MIDI synth sequencer. The new expansion board adds a small 7segment display and 3 buttons that help in the programming… Continue reading Digital Warrior Sequencer Edition
Τραύμα – Buffer Zone Fringe
One day out of the blue I was contacted by Nektarios Rodosthenous, he was looking for electronic performers for his music theater piece called Τραύμα. At first I was quite skeptic as I haven’t acted since my high school fays, but as soon as I saw the piece I was amazed and knew I had… Continue reading Τραύμα – Buffer Zone Fringe
