This module is designed to allow infrared light sources to interact with your synthesizer. The most common household sources of infrared light are fire and remote controls. Infrared LEDs are also readily available to DIYers who wanted to experiment with creating new devices for controlling synthesizers through this module.
The module provides a voltage output that can be either AC or DC coupled and a +5V gate output. It is compatible with +/-12V or +/-15V systems and uses PCB mounted pots to connect to the panel.
For complete descriptions of the way the module is used, and how to build it, including schematics and parts list; download this PDF file.
Boards are available now. Price for 1 PCB is $8.
Unfinished eurorack
panels are available for this project, they are 6HP and cost $8 each.
There is
more information here about panels. If you're interested in drilling your own panel for
this project, feel free to use my
drill guide. That image should be printed at 300dpi for proper
scaling.
