Into the Unknown Guitar Synthesizer Deluxe

[Luke51411]

Freppo was kind enough to send me a pcb from his prototype batch and I just finished boxing it. Really cool circuit! I plan on doing a demo video soon.

[Freppo]

Awesome. That's a special build. Love the octagon enclosures and those switches

I uploaded the demo again in much better quality (and the old link wasn't working anyway..)

cheers

Thanks! I'm planning on working on a demo of mine over the weekend!

very nice! are you going to cover some bass guitar sounds as well?

Very cool effect! I see PCBs and vero are available but I'm not seeing a schematic. Is that an exercise left to the reader?

Wasn't planning on it but I don't see any reason not to!

See the Into The Unknown PDF in the parasit studios Build Doc section:

"Schematic
Please visit the madbean forum Parasit Studio subforum section for
schematic and more info on how this circuit works. If you want to
modify and/or make your own PCB layout, don't forget to credit
Parasit Studio. Thank you!"

Hooray for that! Looking forward to it! I want to build it myself as well.. but if it's cool on bass i can order two pcbs and torment our drummer even more.

I just got my Into the Unknown yesterday,it's not a kit,it's ready to play

and I just wanted to thank Fredrik for this stunning circuit.

I also got an old Korg x911 and I am astonnished what his circuit can do

with only for 40XX Cmos Ics.

I really wonder what he'll bring us in the futur and where/when he will stop

surprising us.

I just watched the demo again today with one of the guys at work and I want in so badly it hurts  As soon as the new PCBs come in I'm getting at least 4.

[Freppo]

PCB's are back in stock!

The wife wouldn't let me get 4, so I settled for 2..... for now!

Really cool effect. I haven't gotten a look at the schematic yet, but listening to the demo makes me wonder if it would be possible to sync the lfo to an external clock, with some kind of 0-5 V trig pulse or square wave?

I will admit that I don't know much about syncing LFO's, but I don't think it's possible with this LFO.

Impressed by the amount of different sounds available with such a minimal circuit (looking at the PCB over at musikding). Good job! Looking forward to reading your documentation

Here are a couple demo videos I put together of my Into The Unknown build. Forgive my noodling
The only mod I did was to add an expression jack for the filter control which IMO is a worthy addition and is demonstrated in the first video.
Guitar

Bass

thank you for your time and effort into making these videos. sounds pretty cool. The hysterical sounds of the bass video put a smile on my face. It looks like it's more useful on guitar, but some cool bass sounds nonetheless.

I haven't played with it much on bass, just enough to make the video. I think your assessment is correct. It seems like the octaves get jumbled a little more on bass. I might try sticking a compressor in front of and see if that cleans it up a bit. There are definitely some very useable sounds on bass though.

the best thing is that I can put my theremin up for sale.. it's been sitting here for ages waiting for someone to play it properly

It's really good for making the dog look really confused
