Press The Button Podcast for July 30, 2008

Sort of vaguely radio-themed, but not entirely.

Summer of Synth-DIY: week 10

Arduino Sequencer (version > 1.0) : Coming along nicely. Need to do a quick test or two, wire up the MIDI connection, and it should be usable.

Cigarbox modular: Moved my CD4093 oscillators made at playshop from the breadboard onto a PCB. Mounted it up in the cigarbox, so one module’s down on this one:

Press The Button Podcast for July 23, 2008

A look at the economy, specifically with the housing boom and bust. Features plenty of “House” music in the background. Widget ruled most of the second hour by combining explosions, zoning regulations, and Mickey House. Seriously. I was afraid to add anything from fear that I’d ruin what was going on.

Summer of Synth-DIY: week 9

Sound Lab: Not too much progress. I need to get the front panel stuff squared away before I can do much more on it.

Arduino Sequencer V2 (or 1.5, or whatever): Did make some good progress here, as I got my little PCBs. I got the 4051 onto the board, and made the interconnections between it and the Arduino. Next step is to get the panel connected into the boards, and get the MIDI output connected as well.

Here’s a little bit of the CD4093 oscillators (mixed with a couple of CD40106 oscillators) made at Electronoize Playshop this week:
