Hi welcome to my channel. I'm Eddy from The Netherlands. I used to be into filmmaking and working with After Effects but in the last few years I started building my own modular synthesizer so now I mostly publish demo videos of modules I built.
Some trivia about me: - I won a national competition with a digital portrait of former Dutch queen 'Beatrix'. It hung next to 4 Warhols for 7 months in Dutch palace. - I was featured in the May 2012 episode of the RU-vid Art News. - My video 'Mindfield' has been shown at an art gallery in Seattle as part of an exhibition by renowned artist Matthew Rose! - Pictures from my 2014 trip to Paris were published in American Art Magazine ReDux August 2014 issue.
I have my own website which has more than 52 DIY synthesizer build projects on it, including complete layouts on stripboard and comprehensive build instructions and schematics. You can visit it here: www.eddybergman.com
Thank you very much. Yes solar panels are subsidized here so a lot of people have them. The flying felt really comfortable after having spent all those hours on "Liftoff". I can really recommend learning FPV this way.
Yes but the slew rate limiting is pretty high up in the audio spectrum so I don't think it'll be that effective on its own but as part of the RAT circuit it might work very well.
Hello! Im trying to make this extender on my hohner b2a, it's really uncomfortable for me! It's funny, because lap stand work's great with leg, but with strap they overthinking with 3 strap dots, and none of it is usable 😂. I finished the cardboard version, hope aluminium one is gonna work together, thank you for your work and mind to come up with this!
Well the one in the video is of course made to measure for myself but you don't have to follow the shape design I used. You can for instance go straight up for a bit and then left to the 12th fret. You need to make a cardboard template that works for you, you don't have to copy my design exactly.
I built the circuit on pcb and it and works great.thanks for sharing your knowledge..question..if i test a faulty transistor, may i damage the circuit?
Your sleeve looks a bit like a Pink Floyd / Utopia pig looking intently at the synth generating pulsating, hypnotic rhythms :-). The nose are the cuff buttons and it has an ear - the Autist in me cannot unsee it. Great demo too.
@@EdEditz Ned did - there again we didn't buy ourselves an L2 here :-). I strung mine E to C and with some FX it can get quite Royal Blood. It also sounds good in the 2nd octave so like a decent guitar. As our band commented "not bad for a plank of wood"
@@stephenhookings1985 I think it's a great instrument. I'm very happy with the bass. Like you said Ned provided a pivot plate but we didn't buy an L2. As an instrument I love it though. I love the sound of it and how well it plays and how good it looks of course. Certainly not bad for a plank of wood :D 😊👌👍
Thanks ed for this., please allow me a question. I see the fake one has a poor bandwidth, does this affect for audio application?, I ask this because for audio we tipically use frequencies up to 20KHz. does this poor bandwidth affect somehow the performance of audio filters, preamps or equalizers?, thanks!!
If you want to be sure you get the best audio quality then I would advise to use real chips. It's not only the bandwidth. Fake chips can be noisy too. I build a lot of synthesizer modules and they operate in the 20Hz to 8kHz range and for that they will usually be fine (especially for LFO's) but with filters you can get resonance or self-oscillation that is upto 20kHz and for that I would avoid using fakes and get the chips from a reputable source and not sites like AliExpress.
Thanks! Yes I was happy I was able to buy this gear because two of these synths are already out of production, the MS-1 and the VC340 Vocoder, and the other synths have gone up in price by at least €100 and sometimes even €200. I recently added a Behringer Mono/Poly to the collection. Got a great deal on that at 38% off.
Thank you for sharing! … is it possible to connect the 2600 with other euro rack modules ? I read that some of the outputs have 14 volts or more than what is the normal standard and could damage the external modules ??? Thanks again !
@@mauriciomandara5946 I've done some measurements and the waveforms can indeed reach 14V if two or more waveforms are interacting but even worse I measured almost 22V signals coming straight out of the filter so I would not recommend using the B-2600 togehter with a Eurorack system.
@@EdEditz Thank you so much for taking time to do this !!!! I have not the tools nor the knowledge to prove this … now it is confirmed… still love the 2600 but having it 100 percent compatible with other modules was my wish ! Thank you again! 🙏🏼
@@mauriciomandara5946 I thought it was a very good question that a lot of people would be interested in seeing answered, so I made a video showing you the results. It's true the 2600 can create high voltages but I think if you use it with care and make sure the signals are attenuated then it wouldn't be much of a problem to use it with Eurorack modules.
Where do you get your panel material from? And what material is it? Love your work and website and equipment by the way 🤩🙏🏼I also live in the Netherlands
I use 1,5mm powdercoated aluminium for my panels. I get it cut in strips of 20cm by 1 meter. You can get it here: www.aluminiumopmaat.nl/platen-in-ral-kleuren/gelakte-aluminium-plaat-ral-7021.html
Amazing to see how it works. And you just use your hands without a mouse on a computer to get some cool results. The handwritten information makes it also very unique.

Hi Eddy, first of all great stuff on your webpage. I was wondering if you could help me with something. I just finished building this 8 step sequencer using CD40106 and CD4017. Is there a way to add a switch that reverses the CD4017 counting steps? So that the sequencer is able o play backwards as well? your help is very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanks very much for your kind words. It's much appreciated! As for your question, no I don't think that is possible because that function is not incorporated into the CD4017 chip. You would need a micro processor based sequencer to get those types of options, like reverse or random steps. Something Arduino based would be easy to manipulate in various ways but that's beyond the simpler sequencer in this project.
@@EdEditz hi Eddy, may I bother you once again? :) i just added the few additions to my sequencer (opamp and external clock input) and i used my Korg SQ-1 sequencer's clock output to trigger my sequencer and it works like a charm. If i change the speed on my Korg my sequencer follows the speed BUT (here it comes), i noticed that the gate out does not follow the external clock input speed. Can you confirm this? how can we solve that? so that the gate output also takes over the speed from the external clock? thanks again
@@MJLouer OMG that's a good observation. I hadn't noticed it before but you need to connect the Gate Out to the External Clock Input socket. The signal carrying pin, not the switch pin of the socket, otherwise the Gate Out stays conneced to the internal oscillator. Good one. Now I have to adjust my article and schematic LOL. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It's an easy fix though.
@@EdEditz hi Eddy, thanks. Glad I could help :) maybe i have another small (i hope) thing you can look at. When i mute channels of the sequencer, i still hear my VCO make sound. Not pitched as i dialed in, but the pitch of the coarse of my VCO. Is there a way to completely mute the sound of that muted channel? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the 40106 is generating pulses. Even with adsr and vca connected the channels are not muted. Not sure. Maybe you know how to do this. Then the sequencer is getting better :)
@@ralfonzo83 I've not published any music yet Ralf. I'm still experimenting but I plan on uploading some stuff in de winter. But now I'm still learning to work with all this equipment ^___^
