Finding the Workshop - Drum Synth - Designs

 Finding the workshops

I Googled handicraft association and found a very interesting page called Hemslöjden or The Home Handictafting Association and they seems to have all workshops and tools, educations, courses and everything I am looking for. I will assign membership and see how it will turn out  :D

Membership sent in to Mölndal today. December 2021

I also found a place called Makersspace that seems very interesting for making anything it seems. They seems to be spread out all over Sweden

Making a Drum Synth for Pads

This synth is made out from a toy. It has no USB out but still cool and stand alone for pads.

Here is another fun drum synth, without USB, but 8 such modules and a mixer works good I guess?

I might just buy a drum module as this Millenium MPS-450 Drum Module is both cheap and sound very good really. We get it for around €130

I just decided more or less to invest more money. Millenium MPS-850 for €250 with cable to drums included.

Bying the bigger sister Millenium Module called Millenium MPS-850 and the benefit is that we also can upload new sounds to it. Delete some boring sounds I will never use, exchange them with the best sounds ever made.

Cheap Micro controller: Arduino Mega 2560 compatible digital board

that will be able to use Wav sounds and MIDI and is Velocity sensible: AZDelivery Mega 2560 R3-kort med ATmega2560 inklusive e-book. It can be as cool module as the MPS-850 but will require a lot of work until we can use it for drums or anything.

Important:

I found a page that describes how to kill the voltage in a cable to a sensor when it is in sleep mode. A parallel connected 1M Ohm resistor. Worth testing then actually.

Picups

Making Pickups from scratch

The inner workings of a 5-way switch and various wiring options

Lots of other videos conering pickups

Making Guitars

Plywood and junk  This guy makes a guitar from old thrown away wooden items, scraps and stuff. It not only show how to build it cheap as it also show how to build a guitar commonly in details. Damn cool video.

Guitar Colors?

I am back at the colors and I made a color palette or 2 color palettes. Look at these 2 R and L (Right and Left) - Which is most fancy? If you would wear a thick chain, would you choose Gold or Iron?

Some golden arms

What a beauty below. A shame these two tremolo arms only goes down, only push. I want to be able to pitch up and down, both drag the arm up and push it down so Floyd Rose is the only option but just look at these 2. They are so damn nice. I would really loved to have one.
