Updated my, Rudegoose, magnetic gooseneck display. This time it's made specifically for the Expert Sleepers Super Disting EX. Now with MIDI i/o! 📷

Picture of Rudegoose EX - front Updated my, Rudegoose, magnetic gooseneck display. This time it's made specifically for the Expert Sleepers Super Disting EX. The magnetic base has been replaced with a 4HP Eurorack panel. Same, bendy, metal gooseneck but the display wiring is now run through the neck vs. an external cable. MIDI i/o for the Disting EX has been added as well! MIDI type A or B connections are possible via a polarity reversing toggle switch. An, off, position prevents MIDI communication altogether. Great for MIDI emergencies. All high quality parts and completely serviceable. Two modules in one!

Modified a #MOTU 828x audio interface after the OEM (green) LED burned out. I like the soft white LED much better. 📷

A bit of custom work for the studio.

Normalizing jack plane from a vented panel. Need the vented panel to keep the gear in good condition but wanted a few more patch points. The panel is very rigid and up to the task. 📷 🛠️

Created this little gadget. Designed to interface Eurorack with a DAW or other, line level, audio equipment. Passive, with a focus on keeping the audio signal quality as good as possible.

Lots of functions!

More info in the image descriptions. 📷 🎵

Front view. Works as a standalone Eurorack module as well, no DAW needed. All 3.5mm jacks are high quality Switchcraft with nickel plated contacts. All potentiometers are high quality Bourns PTD90 Series and are capable of handling up to 150 VAC and 20 VDC. All switches are high quality TAIWAY solder lug that handle AC and DC voltages. All wiring is solid core 22 (AWG) and pure copper. The (4) external leads are comprised of high quality, shielded, (TRS) Mogami Neglex 3106 24 (AWG) cable with gold plated Rean (TRS) connectors. • Passive module, 6HP • Works with CV or audio • Two independent channels with non-liner potentiometer • Two independent aux channels with linear potentiometer • Two, isolated, (TRS) outputs for receiving from a DAW or other device. • Ring lift switch for the balanced (TRS) outputs (for use with unbalanced audio and DC coupled interfaces) • Two, isolated, (TRS) inputs for sending to a DAW or other device. These are also passive multiples (TS) to the (non-liner) attenuated outputs. • An insert point for each channel bypasses the passive multiple from the DAW input and inserts the new (isolated) signal. Allowing the attenuated output to be used separately from the main input and at the same time. • Two, unassigned, SPDT toggles with male DuPont connectors (for controlling other modules or devices) • i/o can be patched in a variety of ways.
