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. Featuring 3 more modulation LFOs. Two…
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, the Basslet lets you literally…
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 the rest was just glitched.…
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 Critter and Guitari. A bent…
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 stomp box case. On the…
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, VCC, and GND bus. A…
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, glide, tune, decay, accent, filter…
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 Traktor’s History records. Every time…
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 of patterns and simplify switching…
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 to be part of it.…
