Nebulophone by Bleep Labs

The Nebulophone by Bleep Labs is one of the many Andromeda Space Rockers. Addicted to Noise has a post up on the device including some demos.

On the Andromeda Space Rockers:
"These are a series of small, DIY synths and devices designed by some well-known, Texas-based electronics manufacturers (4ms Pedals, Bleep Labs, Eric Archer, Wooster Audio, Mickey Delp). Introduced to the public at large through Handmade Music Austin last year, they’ve been gaining a fair amount of steam in various electronic communities for their easy-to-build nature and wireless networking ability. Yes, that’s right, wireless networking ability."

After checking out the post on Addicted to Noise above, click here for all posts mentioning the Andromeda Space Rockers including videos.

Handmade Music Austin

via Bleep Labs:

"4ms Pedals, Eric archer, and Dr. Bleep are proud to announce Handmade Music Austin! Starting October 13th at Salvage Vanguard Theater in collaboration with CotFG, we will be offering monthly workshops in they style of Handmade Music.

We’ll have free soldering, bending and diy synth classes, as well as workshops to build our forthcoming Andromeda Space Rocker kits. Early sign-ups for classes will start soon so stay tuned!"

The following are a couple of videos of kits in development.
The mixer has the four tiny drum machines previously posted running through it.

"Prototype 4ch powered "pocket mixer" blowin out analog beats thru a bare 12" speaker.

This jam is crying for Gakken SX-150.

Pocket mixer: 2.8W service into 4 ohms w/ soft clip. 4 C-cell batteries. Connects to any external speaker with binding post terminals."

Autonomous Bassline Generator

YouTube via 4mspedals

"The Autonomous Bassline Generator creates deterministic bassline patterns in a sci-fi retro sound by generating melodies on the fly, based on a knob. It's just an AVR (attiny44) chip doing all the work, plus an opamp to act as the filter (photocell). The blue button is Tap Tempo, or if you hold it down for 1 second, it syncs up to the pulses on the IR receiver (this lets you beat-sync multiple Andromeda Space Rocker modules). The red button lets you edit a single note in the melody. Pulse-width modulation is currently pre-set to a certain envelope, but that will become user-controllable soon!

Part of the "Andromeda Space Rockers" series of modules, see www.ericarcher.net for drum modules.

The 6-pin header board dangling to the right is an ISP header. Totally hackable!"

Handmade Music Austin #1

YouTube via EA78751 "Some video from Handmade Music Austin #1, Oct 18 2009. Twenty people learned about soldering and built Mini Space Rockers and Andromeda MK-1 analog drum machines. Everybody got a different Mini Space Rockers sound effect (like Skrew Bass, El Grito, Mouse, and Space Hawk!) Thats what you're hearing here... I didnt get a good recording of the Andromeda MK-1 jam though. Next month, November, we'll build the Autonomous Bassline Generator from 4ms Pedals. After that, the Nebulophone from Bleep Labs." also see Mini Space Rockers Update:

The signal path is:
Tetrazzi Organ (stereo) > M-Resonator (stereo) > channel on mixer
ABG / Nebulophone > channel on mixer
FX send on mixer: Holy Grail > Meat Box > channel on mixer
mixer > amplification+sound!"

via Josh of addicted to noise:
"I've started up a site that's dedicated to doing reviews, samples, holding discussions and soon to feature video reviews of music hardware for experimental artists. Will be covering a lot of different devices very soon--for now the only review I have finished is for the DOD FX32 Meat Box, but I have plans to cover some of the Andromeda Space Rockers kits, the Ciat-Lonbarde Tetrazzi Organus, Jomox M-Resonator, etc, all in a fashion that will favor people of an experimental nature. I feel like this is a presence that is lacking amongst all the guitar effects demos on YouTube and on other sites; not enough thinking that strays from the path."

"A bunch of stuff, all in sync and out o' tune!
Just having fun with Synthrotek 16-step sequencer kit, and pile o' goop."

"16-step clock -> Oberheim XK sync in -> MeBlip
16-step step 1 trigger -> Bliptronics trigger -> Electric Western Phantastron Sync in -> ADSR
16-step gate (split 1) -> Pigronix ADSR
16-step gate (split 2) and CV -> Chimera BC9.

Somewhat out of tune, hey it's a demo.

The synthrotek kit is a fun unit..... (i don't work for them)"

Jeff Hunt DIY Synth Project - The Portal

"My DIY groovebox. I am a beginner. Just got started this year after watching videos by Casper Electronics. Highly recommended! I followed up by researching 9v/12v single supply circuits, and after much trial and error I came up with this final product. Many thanks to the folks on the Synth DIY forums on Facebook and elsewhere for tons of advice. Also many thanks to Nicolas Collins and his book Handmade Electronic Music for lots of tips. Feel free to ask any questions, and thanks for watching!

Square/Sawtooth/Triangle waves
16-step sequencer based on a simple 40106/4040/4067 design for the oscillator
8-step sequencer based on a 40106/4040/4051 design for drums

I did install a clock input but haven't even tried it yet. I think I may have to build an external clock adapter module to make it work right due to the way I timed everything.

Sound processing circuits based on the following designs with my modifications:

--MS20 style lowpass filter with lfo modulation by Tim Escobedo

--"Little Angel" chorus by Frequency Central

--"Funky MF" multimode envelope follower filter by Frequency Central http://www.frequencycentral.co.uk/

--"Echo Bender" delay by Casper Electronics http://casperelectronics.com/finished...

Handmade Music Austin - DIY music workshops

YouTube via EA78751
"Handmade Music Austin - a new series of DIY music workshops for 2009-2010 presented by Church of the Friendly Ghost.

In a workshop setting, we'll present a newly-designed series of miniature electronic instruments, called Andromeda Space Rockers. No bigger than a credit card, these projects are designed for DIY'ers like you. They can be built in a couple of hours to make a working drum machine, bass generator, or micro-synthesizer. These fun little instruments love to jam together, and they do it by forming a wireless network to keep the rhythm!

Of course, there will be an open jam / performance once the instruments are built.

Workshop dates 2009-2010 October 18 November 15 December 20 January 17 February 28 March 14 April 18

Registration is $45 and includes materials

"Video from Handmade Music Austin #3, Dec. 20th 2009. At this workshop 13 people built the free project, Mini Space Rockers. After that we witnessed live electroacoustic sound by Lustigovi. And then 19 people built the upper division project, Andromeda Mk-4 Analog Bass Drum. And last there was an open jam with DIY bassline and drum machines from this workshop series, plus acid lines from a MIDIbox SID."
