Web Audio Synth Simulators
Hand-Drawn iPad Patch Notebooks
Modular Music, Wine-Crate Synths & Signal Flow
Experimental generative tracks, stripboard (Veroboard) Eurorack modules built from scratch and mounted into a wooden wine crate, browser-playable acoustic synthesizer emulations, and annotated iPad patch notebooks.
KORG Phase 8 Acoustic Synth Simulator
An interactive browser-based physical modeling simulator of KORG Berlin's 8-voice electromechanical acoustic synthesizer—complete with a step sequencer, polyrhythmic polymeter controls, envelope shaping, and resonator modes.
02 // DIY Eurorack Hardware & Stripboard Layouts
Building Synth Modules in a Wooden Wine Crate
Expanding the modular system into a wooden wine crate using hand-soldered Veroboard/stripboard circuits, custom front panels, and open schematics.
100-DSP Reverb & Effects Module
Adapting an inexpensive 24-bit 100-program digital reverb/effects DSP daughterboard into a Eurorack module with wet/dry mixing, dual 7-segment LED program display, and stripboard power/audio conditioning.
Electrosmith Submodule VCO Dual Build
Building analogue voltage-controlled oscillators around Electrosmith 3340 VCO submodules on stripboard—with coarse/fine tuning, PWM, linear/exponential FM inputs, hard/soft sync, and hand-lettered aluminum front panels.
Percussive Noises & NiftyNoise Stripboard
Analogue white/pink/gritty noise generators, vactrol decay envelopes, and snappy percussive synthesis circuits designed for stripboard construction.
Drawdio Musical Pencil (Veroboard Edition)
Not strictly Eurorack, but a classic DIY electronic instrument: a custom Veroboard (stripboard) track layout for Jay Silver's Drawdio circuit that turns graphite pencil sketches into variable-pitch conductive synth loops.
03 // Hand-Drawn iPad Patch Notebooks (2020–2021)
