The naked truth

One thing I started to see a lot more of is people actually posting pictures of insides or info detailing how they made something. This is a trend that I very much endorse and enjoy. However given that other people will now see your build's insides it is only natural that you attempt to make them neater. Here is a gallery from the artist Phoebe aka October71 displaying some very neat keyboard modding skills along with other things of interest. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=3675255&uid=1886162 The keyboard shown is actually a square wave synth keyboard that untill now was regarded by everyone including me as a cheap block blog type not capable of very much. However this is not the case. I do have to point that even without any mods this keyboard sounds fantastic. There are a few great resources about this keyboard like the Tablehooters site http://users.informatik.haw-hamburg.de/~windle_c/TableHooters/HingHon_EK001.html But what takes the cake is the actual building manual for the keyboard available from its manufacturer!!!! http://www.elenco.ws/manuals/ak-900.pdf Totally insane info even includes sound synthesis and wave theory! And to drive it home is this page http://www.elenco.ws/ It includes a ton of schematics for keyboards, sound generators, power supplies and others, like this function generator for instance using an XR2206 IC http://www.elenco.ws/manuals/fg-600k.pdf Add a photo resistor and you got an optical theremin. Amazing. Thanks Phoebe you made my day. [Via Benders list]
