Modulin

This repository holds all data for th modulin I am building. The concept behind this design is to make a fully analog synthesizer using only standard components, with a fun control system based on a violin. This project is mostly based on a design Martin Molin of Wintergatan. An explanation of his design can be found here.

My goal in improving this design is to make it more accessible. His design uses 9 or so prebuilt modules meant for modular synthesizers, each of which costs in the range of 70$+ making the instrument quite expensive for a diy build. I took inspiration from the modular synth DIY community to instead try and build the necessary modules from scratch using only much cheaper standard electronics components. The components I am limiting myself to are resistors, capacitors, inductors/transformers, diodes, transistors (both BJT and FET), op amps and linear voltage regulators.

Questions

How big is the ModulinControl PCB?

It measures 76.2 × 50.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ModulinControl use?

23 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the ModulinControl KiCad files?

From the ConDarth/modulin repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is modulinControl/modulinControl.kicad_pcb and its schematic modulinAmplifier/modulinAmplifier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ModulinControl design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ConDarth before reusing the design.
