Braska will be away for some time. He wants to know more DIYers and I will grant his wish by letting him do just that!!
From now on, Braska will be on the move. DIYers will get to host him and shoot him (photo shoot that is) with their lab and equipment.. He won’t say [...]
Braska is now online!
You can follow him on twitter where his rantings will be posted! (and the occasional photo too) and on facebook (if you don’t have trouble being friend with a frog. Well he might be a prince but I wouldn’t count on that!)

What follows is the destruction of the laughtop. This is not for the faint of heart!
Braska is here still, helping with the hard stuff (posing and getting in the way). When I tell him “get the screwdriver” he always appears with a cocktail in his froggy hand, sipping.
There is a small, lo-fi speaker which [...]
Remember the babyBotte ? It started it’s life as a simple shoebox and then got upgraded to a package that is sturdy and useable with a jack for external PSU so I wouldn’t have to rely on batteries.
Same story about the Music from outer space WSG that got a serious upgrade and became [...]
Made the panel for the WSG (Weird sound generator).
This is it. It is made like the one I’ve done for the SoundLab beside it. I scanned the panel with the holes, overlayed the picture I’ve made (actually it is just boxes and text) , printed it on glossy paper and then sprayed it with a [...]
The WSG (Weird sound generator) took it’s place beside Soundlab. So there are two samples, one (http://rapidshare.com/files/217106360/hhh2.mp3) which uses both of them and one(http://rapidshare.com/files/214296536/hhh.mp3) that uses only Soundlab..There is a little effect processing afterwards (delay+ phaser).
Both are fed from a +-15V PSU without any problems whatsoever.
An interesting experiment is to plug the output of [...]
It is about time me and Braska started making a case for modules/synths we’ve made. The panels for the modules I’ve made are 12×12cm a unit and I have some standard panels made with 16 holes evenly spaced. These are the generique type that may house vcos, filters etc.
The big one is for midibox seq. [...]
The SID synth is working!
As I just bought a simple oscilloscope, wave shots follow..
The SID filter works by using two capacitors. I think it works by switching them on and off in sequence. However it works internally, you can experiment with the values of the capacitors. So to experiment without solder/desolder I put a pin [...]
Some time ago, Collin saw a nibbler in my future and the prophecy has now been fulfiled!
I GOT A NIBBLER!!! HURAAAAHHH!!!!
Of course, the first person(?) to grab and test it how comfortable it is to sit on, was Braska:
The nibbler works like this: it passes the metal “jaw” you see in the pictures below through [...]
All things come to those who wait. But even if you wait for an eternity, no SID will come your way unless you hunt it down because it has been long since it was discontinued! And so I did hunt it!!. Two found and thus, the quest for the MidiBox SID began.
It is a stereo [...]
