OH YEAH, MY BLOG...
wow, i have been putting this off for a long time so here we go.
shortly after finishing my "rainbow synth"(mid July) i started on a new keyboard. much like the rainbow synth, i added a frequency divider circuit to the main voice and a vcf with AR generator. the main objective of this project was to use the 4520 chips i've become so fond of to trigger drum sounds, and what better circuit than the notorious hing hon ek001. it all worked out great and i had this keyboard all built in under two weeks. it went surprisingly fast. that may be why i still dont completely understand the schematic. since i finished this project over two months ago, i dont exactly remember all of the details on constructing this keyboard, but i will say that it is truly my favorite. here is a demo video and some really bad pictures i just took. i'll post the schematic soon.

LO-FI WORKSTATION
this was supposed to be a quick project but i got really sick for a week. after thinking of scrapping the whole project, i soon began to get better and decided to finish it. i am very pleased with the finished product. that is all.

glitch keyboard
i started this one last week and finished today. basically its a holiday synth with an added glitch circuit. the keyboard i used is slightly larger than the holiday synth, its about 8" in length. i hadnt planned on taking so long for this one but i was lazy this weekend. its got a bunch of crazy switches. one of whitch i dont understand? when i was drawing up the schematic for this i was thinking of writing out descriptions of what each switch does and how it should sound, but i didnt and i forgot. so now there is a switch that does things that are... unknown? i'll probably go back in and do something with it. or at least figure out why it doesnt sound fucking rad!
