DIY Meetup 2024 - Erica BBD
available
With this ticket you'll reserve your place in the Erica Synths BBD workshop at DIY & Synth Meetup (Mini Edition) on 26. Oct 2024. Read more information about the DIY kit further down.BBD is a brandnew Bucket Brigade Delay Eurorack module from Erica Synths. It is released in their cooperation line with well known builder Moritz Klein. The module will have its DIY premiere in our nice event in Leipzig. An interesting problem back in the day was: how do you create a delayed duplicate of a sound without recording it to some sort of storage medium? Back then, before digital signal processing and cheap, abundant memory, this was a real engineering issue. Until two engineers named Sangster and Teer came up with a deceptively simple solution: the bucket brigade delay. Moritz Klein reverse-engineered the architecture of a classic BBD, recreated a bare-bones-version on the breadboard – and then used a proper BBD chip to implement a simple audio delay effect. This journey resulted in another module in Moritz Klein Instruments and Erica Synths EDU.DIY series – BBD FX! It's beautifully simple Bucket Brigade Delay module with unique clock noise cancelling circuit and some distinct performance-oriented features. Erica Synths team agreed, that it's one of the best sounding BBDs, you can find. 10 HP width, the kit price is 70€.This ticket reserves your workshop place. The module itself costs 70€ which has to be paid during the event.Start of the event is 11 am on Oct 26 in Leipzig Plagwitz. We'll email you the address after your registration.
