How to link 16 pin Eurorack Power Connector to 10 pin Connector

Eurorack Power Bus : 16 to 10 pin connections

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!

An example of a 16 pin connector. The red wire is connected to pin #1 (small triangle on the connector)

How to connect your Wallwart, your MDPS and your Eurorack Power Bus

AC Input. There’s no polarity to respect. Just remember: due to circuit design, the “GND” input pad is directly connected to the system ground.

Simple LFO – LTSpice simulation

7 February 2016Simple LFOLFO, Op-Amps, Spicedavid

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 December 2015Eurorack Stripboard, Stripboards & ProtoboardsBreadboard, Eurorack, Fail, PCB, Tindiedavid


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.

Simple LFO update 1.1

20 November 2015Simple LFOKit, LFO, Panels, Simple Modules, Tindie, Updatedavid

New revision for the Simple LFO. It’s mostly a slight improvement of the output stage.

I added an buffering opamp on the output. Now, the output load doesn’t affect and modify anymore the signal frequency.
