Jak Plugg Typhoon (Clouds variant)

November 25, 2020November 30, 2020 by keith

Waiting to trim the LEDS to the panel… This is the Jak Plugg expanded Clouds, with all the alternative firmwares at once (Superparasites), and extra controls & functionality like Greyscale’s Supercell. PCB/panel from Pusherman again.…

Antumbra Cara (Mutable instruments Marbles 8 hp clone)

November 17, 2020November 30, 2020 by keith

I’ve been putting this build off for a while, because it can’t just be flashed with a pre-built .hex file like Clouds, Rings, etc – the Mutable development environment has to be installed, the firmware…

Jakplugg UGrids

November 10, 2020November 30, 2020 by keith

Built this 8hp version of Mutable Instruments’s Grids drum/trigger sequencer, ordered from Pusherman, where there’s an excellent guide on flashing it (like Branches, it’s not STM based) from Casey Holmes. No build issues. Here it…

Westlicht Performer sequencer

November 10, 2020November 30, 2020 by keith

These are fantastic. Straightforward 0603 build, albeit with a lot of parts, flashed with ST-link and JTAG adapter. There’s a build guide on Westlicht’s Github. Worked first time (ignoring a single LED I’d placed the…

Blue Lantern Basics – Peaks Clone with CV

November 10, 2020November 30, 2020 by keith

Built three of these Peaks clones with boards/panels from JLCPCB – two with standard firmware, and one with Tim Church’s “Dead man’s catch” firmware. This firmware doesn’t work well with the latest MI Peaks pcb…

Flashing Mutable Instruments Branches

November 10, 2020November 30, 2020 by keith

Built a couple of Branches, MI’s random “coin toss” module. Very simple, straightforward build with no issues -it’s just a handful of 0603 components and a not particularly fine pitch MCU that’s easy to drag…

MI Peaks build

June 24, 2020November 30, 2020 by Keith Gentry

Peaks is a dual channel multifunction module – it can be an ADSR, a clockable LFO, or a bass drum/snare drum. It’s a nice easy build with relatively few components. It’s 0603 but the ARM…

MI Tides build

June 24, 2020November 30, 2020 by Keith Gentry

This board is of similar complexity to MI Clouds and Rings (the biggest challenge being the STM and the DAC in terms of fine pitch soldering), and I wasn’t expecting any major issues building it,…

Kammerl Beat Repeat (MI Clouds)

June 20, 2020November 30, 2020 by Keith Gentry

This is Mutable Instruments’s Clouds with an alternate firmware, turning it into a clocked sample slicer/rearranger (amongst other stuff). I really like this module, CV control of the parameters really brings it to life for…
