Choosing a suitable adapter for the MDPS
If you want to power up your Mini Dual Power Supply, you need to supply it with an AC voltage on its input.
You can either use a simple transformer or, safer and easier to manage, use a AC/AC wallwart adapter.
It’s not easy sometimes to make distinction between an AC to DC adapter and an AC to AC adapter. They share the same form factor, the same look and feel. But there are clear indications to help you determine the type of each one.
Here’s a quick comparison between the two types with two example closeup pictures, one AC/DC adpater and one AC/AC adapter:

Usually, the pin #1 of a ribbon is colored in red or blue. Never trust the ribbon cable color! And never trust a cable.
Always check twice the correct polarity and voltage before pluging your module!

Simple LFO – LTSpice simulation
Just a quick update on the Simple LFO circuit. I was playing with LTSpice for some forthcoming modules when I decided to simulate the Simple LFO. The idea was to compare the simulation to a real working circuit.

Eurorack Stripboard 1.2
Eurorack Stripboard
I always need to have, in my drawers, a quick and easy way to assemble and prototype small synth modules.
I think this the most convenient way to build a simple module. You just use it as a standard stripboard PCB but with neat additions.
