MFOS Subcommander

[mcasemo]

It's not a madbean build, but wanted to share my build of the Music From Outer Space Subcommander, analog guitar synth.  I found a guy on etsy making octagon shaped dice trays out of oak and he made me a box, which is beautiful.  The graphic is something from a Russian artist, Tebe Interesno, a submarine orbiting the earth.  I covered the top in aluminum tape first, then clear waterslide decal over the tape.  I may redo this, i think it needs more contrast and i can't get a good photo of it.

Anyway, still playing with this thing, very fun.  Troubleshooting included missing jumpers (to replace caps for some mods), left off chips, wrong chips, backwards chips, and a bad guitar cable.  My first real troubleshooting using as o-scope, which was pretty satisfying.

cheers,

Very cool and ambitious build. I love the MFOS stuff! Although Alan has me leaning toward eurorack if I ever get into analog synth world. I like the graphic too!

Now that is seriously impressive! I really dig the case and the submarine theme. Great work!
Any chance you'll be making a demo?

Thanks!  I can't play for sH*T, so i need to farm that video out. Just got back from having a friend test it out, very fun, but not sure i still know how to make it sing.  i need to re-watch the MFOS demo, then go from there.  If i get some basics down with it, i'll video.

How cool what a wicked machine...!
A demo woud be really cool, I'd be keen to get more of an idea about this!
Sweet work, great look!

Just brilliant! Anything with that many knobs must be good. I'm not sure what it does but I want one.
