Hello,
Just to introduce myself to the forum and give a little bit of info about what I am interested in, which is mostly synthesisers.
I make and repair synth modules, mostly for the Eurorack format, but I do work in other formats too like Frac and standalone machines. I only ever work in 12v and leave the 240v stuff for folk who actually know what they are doing.
I went with Giles last year to the BlueDot festival where we set up a Mass Spectrometry machine and took the output from that to control my modular synth. This was really good fun and we are doing it again this year.
While I like all forms of synthesis, I am especially interested in digital renditions of strange methods e.g. Modal synthesis, a form of Additive synthesis but based on banks of filters.
I am on a long and slow journey to design and build my own modules, so particularly interested in the CNC machine for creating aluminium panels.
I am not in any rush, this is just for fun 
I look forward to meeting you soon
All the best
