Music Thing Modular Workshop Computer Available As A DIY Project
The Music Thing Modular Workshop Computer, a multi-function module for Eurorack systems that can be instantly changed with hot-swappable program cards, is available as a DIY kit.
The computer was originally found in the Music Thing Workshop System, a compact modular that also includes a powerful analog toolkit. Now the Computer section is available as an 8HP Eurorack module.
The module has three pairs of inputs and outputs: Audio/CV, Pulses; and Precision CV for pitch.
There are also three knobs for controlling the computer and one 3-way toggle switch (ON-OFF-MOMENTARY).
The Workshop Computer loads programs stored on hot-swappable custom-made program cards. The Computer comes with seven program cards:
-
- Reverb+ is an old-school stereo reverb with some useful utilities, including sequencing and MIDI.
- Turing Machine is a random looping sequencer with two channels and multiple scales.
- Simple MIDI turns the module into a USB-MIDI interface to send and receive MIDI.
- It also comes with 4 x blank program cards which you can write with a downloaded file.
