Preparing for live session
On the night to 21st @ 0400 GMT I'll plya live on radio.electro-music.com. Here's a picture from the preparing of all the sounds.

4th panel of cab 2 with 6 massive EG's
The nest panel in the current cabinet I'm working on is going to include a MFOS dual AR, the 281-clone (two boards) and a dual Envylope (VCADSR from A.C.). All are massive envelope generators that can double as LFOs.
I have not started with the wiring yet...

New cab for lunetta style modules
I've recently started to put together a third cabinet (before my second is finished, yes I know :P). It is going to be housed by lunetta style modules and my own homebrew modules (a lot based on LM324). There are four rows for 3U size modules and one for 4U (middle).
I also plan to put two speakers in the top space and a subwoofer in the bottom. It is going to be stained so it looks like dark oak and I'm going to fit handles to the side so it can be carried easier.
There's also going to be back plates that will be removable to get to the elektronics more easily.

New studio picture.
I moved the studio downstairs and screwed the cabinets to the wall a while ago and I'm really satisfied with the result! The Klee sequencer has the position in the front so I can connect it to most modules. The MFOS sequencers and SL's are to the left. The new cabinet to the right contains 3 CGS Quad Logic gates (XOR, NOR and NAND) and some inverters, CGS cascade mixer, multiples, Parts of the Tellun Dunsel, inverting DC mixers, Yusynth Min-Max processor, SN-Voice, 3xCGS Synthacon VCF. Next is the 281 clone, MFOS Dual AR and two Envylopes.

Digital Delay (BOSS DD-20)
Well, I've been playing with it for abt 2 h now and it really makes my klee sequences sound richer and 'more professional' (that was my first thought). I'ts really easy to use and you can easily get some good drone loops going aswell. One quirk, however, is when you have a loop going you can only change the delay type once (for example from 'Standard' to 'Analog'). If you then change it a secod time (to 'tape' for example) the loop gets silent. Else it's an awesome pedal. It's not a 'Holiest Grail', but it is an awesome (23 second ) delay. (I've heard you can squeeze even 46 sec out if it http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/bossDD20/bossDD20_review1.html ).

Klee tunes.
I received a Lexicon Alpha sound card in christmas gift from Maria. So now I have recorded some nices ambient and Klee tracks. I will probably put them on garageband.com/iLike.com.Next: Another cabinet of modules. 8)

Finally!
Finished building! Now I just have to calibrate and find all errors in it. Also make the modifications I think is needed for it to work like I want.
I added two portamento circuits below the mixer too.

I mounted a new PSU, since the old one was really ugly and it only had +-/11.6V (Since I used a 2x 12VAC transformerwith 12V regulators, duh...). Bought a new one 2x15VAC 1 amp on each and a PSU kit (LM317/337) which I hope shouldn't be to noisy.
4 VCOs, 2 filters, 2 VCLFO and the Phaser finished (LFOs and ph not tested).
Pictures are coming.

Cabinet painted and almost ready
Cabinet is painted and almost ready. I just have to wire the voltage supply wires to the modules.
3/4 VCO and the filters are finished.

Modular status report
All the PCBs are fitted to the panels aswell as pots, jacks, switches and knobs. Now all I have to do is paint the cabinet and do all the wiring.

Hej! It's been a while!
Yes it has, and I've been busy... building a modular! :D I've soldered all the PCBs (alright not all of them since I ordered some more of them :$) and I've been building two wooden cases from plywood I got for free. Both cases are roughly 80 x 60 x 15 cm and I wonder if those 15 are enough to stand on... The last week I've been mounting all the pots jacks and switches and I've discovered that my 100+ 1/4" jacks aren't enough...
Modules are:
VCO, VCO, VCO, VCO, VCF, VCSVF
LFO, LFO, Phaser, S&H, Noise, Dual ADSR
Mixer, 3 x VCA, VCA + Stereo Panner, Dual ADSR
I'm also squeezing in a quad ring mod, level pots for the LFO, voltage distributors and perhaps a spring reverb.

lots of rare IC's found
Two weeks ago we were by my girlfriends parents and cleaned their attic. as we were going trrough boxes of old junk Marias brother called for me to have a look... He had found his old C64! He didn'nt want it so he said I could have it. It later showed that it had the 8580 SID-chip that I've been looking for, since my 6581 is really noisy...
I've also been rummaging thorugh my fathers old IC's. First I found a SAA1099P-chip, a "Music Synthesizer Circuit - Stereo Sound Generator for Sound Effects". It's evidently used in flight simulators for sound effects! See SARATRONICS for more info.
I also found a SN76477N !!! Finally I can build that SN-voice synthesizer!
I've got lots of projects now...
