Fasma Festival 2017 – DIY Drum Machine (Teensy)

As part of my by now usual, participation in the Fasma Festival in Athens, I designed a Teensy 3.2 based drum machine for the DIY workshop. As I’ve been playing around with the design for the past years, trying to modify the Teensy Audio library for ease of hacking, I managed to come up with a couple of ideas … Read moreFasma Festival 2017 – DIY Drum Machine (Teensy)

Envelope Generator – GHz Labs

In early 2017 I designed a series of modules for a workshop at Common Ground in Berlin. The focus was to keep very simple designs but packed with functionality. It was the official launch of my exploration of Eurorack and Analog designs as GHz Labs. One of the modules for the workshop was an Quad Attack-Release Envelope Generator, … Read moreEnvelope Generator – GHz Labs

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 … Read moreDigital Warrior – The final battle

Also added mapping features for the Potentiometer class that makes it easier to use with … Read moreMIDI Elements Teensy Library V2

[b]uttonPad meets Traktor

After Native Instruments announced its new controller, Traktor Kontrol F1 (a very colorful grid controller (with some faders and knobs), designed for the new Remix sample decks in Traktor 2.5) and also heavily inspired by a local DJ friend of mine, I decided to make a mapping for my button pad. The idea was to … Read more[b]uttonPad meets Traktor

[k]ontrolPad

Greetings once again, the last few days I gave more emphasis on working on the [k]ontrolPad and realized that my previous video did not demonstrate much the original concept I had in mind. So here is one more little demonstration video and some pictures of the development process. As I noted in my previous post, … Read more[k]ontrolPad

Toaster From Scratch

Very often I wondered if by some possibility I ever traveled back in time, would I be able to recreate advanced or even simple modern day technology from raw elements? Or even have the skills and knowledge how to. This project made me realize how much we depend on society, manufactured materials and even technology … Read moreToaster From Scratch
