Mostly 3D printed and laser cut Eurorack enclosures, but also some modules.
Video and audio capture from my real #CommanderX16 with my #TurboWaveX1688 8-bit wavetable card using #TurboTracker. First almost respectable demosong using hard drawn waves, volume envelopes and noise.

Working on the Wave editor for TurboTracker. It's now MVP! Meaning there's more to do but it works enough to use. Instruments are next!

Testing out a 4 effect per row/chan pattern format for TurboTracker and thought I'd share a quick short jingle as the last post of 2025. Here's hoping for better things in 2026!

The one to many thing would have to be more like a bus (like fast I2C or some such). I agree, most of the time, a stream might make the most sense. Something like the attached.
Sender just sends that constantly. If something is plugged in mid-stream, it just waits until 0xFF.

Another quick update to TurboTracker/TurboWave and then it's back to working on WaveBoy for a bit.
Showing off being able to swap between wave frames including saw, sine, tri, and buzzy noise, PW (1/8,1/4,1/2).

Here's the very start of the TurboTracker fork making noise on the real TurboWave card! This is minimum-viable. Many features still need to be implemented. So far so good though!

Look what arrived! 1st prototype for the TurboWave X1688!
Being the first prototype I don't have high expectations. Even if it doesn't work, I still made great progress on WaveBoy today. Here's hoping at least parts of this card work though!

Sneak peak at the new tuning process instructions. It takes maybe 5 minutes and no longer requires a tuner. Hoping to make a video on the process tomorrow to include with the documentation.
The next FW release is around the corner!

TurboWave firmware actually outputting stuff to pins! I'm trying to test things as best as I can before I order the PCBs just in case. This is the one of the DAC output pins and it's working as expected.

First routed prototype card for the TurboWave series! This is for the Commander X16. Includes MIDI (to the Pico) for developing the MIDI version as well. 8-bit/voice of cyclic wavetable goodness!
Hope to order this as early as this week!

Testing out a new AC transformer on my own custom linear PSU for my rack (made up of 3 of our X84 cases). So far, so good! Linear regulators are much happier (cooler) with the new setup. Also moving some modules around.

Skiffy 442T with the new PSU mounted all nice. This is for my band-mate but is a good test for how well the PSU fits. Only issue is the caps had to get moved a little to clear the corner tabs. Otherwise I'm happy with it!

Mock up of what the Skiffy 442 would be like with the new linear PSU option. I still need to do some QC on checking for ripple and noise but the burn in test went well.

Looking at the next project after our PSU and was looking at a I/O solution using balun line drivers/receivers. Here's my first pass.
2HP Eurorack I/O panel for the front. 4HP panel (for cases like ours that have rear slots) for the line-level I/O.

The Skiffy 656 is now available!
It is a 2-row (6U) 56-HP (112HP total) face-up case, like our Skiffy 642 though it has enough width for up to two rear mounted 4HP modules!
