\"mocante-eurorack\"<\/a>I relocated the Mocante from its wood case into a Eurorack case<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s a Pittsburgh Modular Cell 90 case (which actually has 89.6875 HP space).\u00a0 The power supply in this case is the old Pittsburgh Modular analog supply with the AC wall wart.\u00a0 Not a problem here, because only +\/- 12 volts is needed and the current requirement are low.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo of how the Euro power cable is soldered to the Mocante PC board.\u00a0 Red stripe indicates -12V, which is not used, though pads exist on the board.\u00a0 Six wires carry ground and two (indicated by + symbol on the board) are for +12V.\u00a0 I cut one end of a standard Euro 10-pin cable to do this.<\/p>\n

\"mocante-power-cable\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I filled out the box with the following modules, intending to use it for live improvisation.<\/p>\n

Rasmasynth Unknown Pleasures<\/a><\/p>\n

Snazzy FX Dreamboat<\/a><\/p>\n

Meng Qi DLPG<\/a><\/p>\n

Make Noise modDemix<\/a><\/p>\n

Synthrotek DLY Digital Delay<\/a><\/p>\n

Bubblesound Mix B<\/a><\/p>\n

Erica Synths Pico OUT<\/a><\/p>\n

I am finding a wealth of patching potential in this box.\u00a0 Three modules produce audio and four can modulate two signals together (DLPG and modDemix are both dual).\u00a0 On top of that I can add the digital delay.\u00a0 Two 3 to 1 mixers give flexibility.\u00a0 The Pico OUT lets me practice with headphones and also go directly to a mixing board.\u00a0 Unknown Pleasures, a manually driven signal source, is perfect for gating another signal in an LPG or modDemix.<\/p>\n

I am discovering more about the Mocante, now that I have built this small laboratory for it.\u00a0 For instance, I found that the Mocante CV output serves as an audio output, too.\u00a0 Here are some quick sample sounds from this box.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/mo-up-lpg-1.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\nhttps:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/mo-witch-db-dm.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\nhttps:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/mocv-up-dm.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\nhttps:\/\/pugix.com\/synth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/mosq-db-slowx-dm.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
