My Modified #trogotronic Antidodes. 2 antidotes with 10 turn potentiometer mod in 1 enclosure. I also brought up Pot legs to be cross patched via banana jacks. Added random resistors to 1 side to temper the signal to make patching work. Had to shave the PCB’s to fit and do some trace jumping.

With different racks now on different sides of my desk, how could I send signals to my mixer rack? I figured I’d use long cables, but that would be a mess. Found black noise pipe kits for super cheap. 8 signals over Ethernet. Easy build, great price, perfect solution. Got 1u for mixer rack as well.

Got everything mounted again. Some final placement things but pretty much ready for sound making. Bottom empty spot is for the Audrey II when I get the euro power mod wired in and a header soldered.

That’s kind of neat. #instruo #lowserialnumber #eurorack

I have spent all the time since I have been in music trying to #circuitbend or modify #trogotronic gear in any way. The only successful way I have found to change them, is to swap potentiometers for 10 turn pots. It brings them to levels of insanity no one thought possible- direct quote from W.T.

Always cool to find a rarity. Especially one I’ve been hunting for for quite a while. #eurorack #subconsciouscommunicaton #voicetail

Anxiously awaiting the @makenoisemusic.bsky.social MultiMod to finish this out and for the Make Noise Knobs from Detroit Modular to arrive to make the non Make noise stuff fit the top. #makenoise #system #eurorack #erd #esotericplayground #afterlateraudio #adventurecase

Almost there. Pretty close to making a @makenoisemusic.bsky.social system for the top half. Obviously there is a Forge TME VHIKK X in there for lots of fun. Pre ordered a MultiMod and got a Wrong sound stage 2 for mixing both halves. Also got a Zorx 1u mult to put in place of the CV bus fiasco.

When you make a plan and find out that the @makenoisemusic.bsky.social #cvbus is pulp logic. 😭

#afterlateraudio Adventure Case with top expander. This is the best #eurorack metal case I’ve seen. A couple minor things but it’s built like a tank and the included feet make me happy. Super affordable for the setup. Excited to start messing around with it.

Combined my ERD system and my Alters to create an esoteric sandbox into 1/2 o the Afterlater Audio adventure case. Doing the conversion for the lid to make something else. #eurorack #modularsynth #esoteric #experimentalmusic
