Excellent clone, even fits a Grayscale panel

For Grenar, a throughhole version of the MI Branches

Not too many components, just the order in which you solder things needs some thought, especially with a shrouded power header. Anyway, all doable!
One question: in the original design there are no 100k trimpots, just 100k resistors. What can be tweaked with these trimpots, and how? To get the original, one can just trim them all the way to 100k, but there must have been an idea behind adding these trimpots?

EDIT: the answer is in the video: these were inserted in order to not have to change the code ... setting the trimpots is not obvious but a matter of trial-and-error, I guess.

I rely quite heavily on people to "build it with me" with the video as a companion, so most tips and tricks are there. However this kit needed a small extra note because of the power header being in the way. This little note lies in the component bag. And I realize when writing this that when someone just buys the PCB and Panel I need to add this note to that aswell. Noted. :)
So the trimpots are there because using the not so exact regulator on the arduino nano clones sometimes skews the probability... So using the trimpots you can hone in so that when totally to one of the sides no gates are coming on the other channel. And as you say in your edit, its trial-and-error method that works best I guess. Shown in the video. I will add some note about this.
Thanks for the honest review :)

Straightforward build...

For Grenar, a throughhole version of the MI Branches

...just needs some thinking in which order to solder jacks and sockets. Good PCB quality, nice look.

Very good

For MU ltiple - A simple passive multiple for modular

Good product, very simple to put together and solder and very useful on my modular setup, thank you very much

Fun build and a fantastic product with great documentation!

For Grenar, a throughhole version of the MI Branches

Received product in the US(California) from Sweden 10 days after ordering which was great. Built the module in about 2 hours and was a pretty straight forward build. Beautifully laid out board with only one PCB for control and mainboard. It gets a little tight in some places but should be ok for anyone that is comfortable soldering. Firmware was easy to load and works wonderfully! I have some multifunction modules (o_C and Europi) that I usually use for Bernoulli gates and this dedicated module will allow me to free those up for other uses.

Excellent!

For ASMR - A Simple Mixer Right?

Great little mixer. Parts are good, design is good and the options for modifying the output are very handy. This was shipped very quickly, good packaging. All in all a great module!

Nice little PSU with an issue

For +/-12V Powersupply for Eurorack or DIY synths

I bought two of those PSUs almost 3 years ago and I finally build one up for a small eurorack case. It is a nice PCB with a small footprint. But the first time I powered some of my modules with it I realized something is strange. There was a weird (cross) modulation type of effect on the output signals of the VCOs. I had another look at the board and remembered why I was a bit sceptical about the design and especially with the values of the 470uf filtering caps. My gut told me that this value is way too low. And yes, the value is too low to completly filter out the 50hz/60hz oscillation of the AC input and to prevent crosstalk between the modules. This causes all kind of weird frequency modulation in the system and becomes very much noticeable with VCOs. Luckily there is an easy fix for that issue. I soldered a pair of 3300uf caps in parallel with the 470uf caps and the problem was solved. No more weird fluttering and unstable sounds. Another thing to be aware of is the fact that there is no mounting hole on the pcb which can be a bit of an annoyance.

Good module for the great price

For Beaks, a throughhole PWM version of MI Peaks

This a very friendly and pretty easy to build kit. The only trouble I had was with the led buttons. Don't be like me, check the video instructions to understand how to place them correctly :)

The module works and sounds really well (omg, those drums are massive)

Jos | Jan. 11, 2023

Great product, delivered in 4 days.

For MU ltiple - A simple passive multiple for modular

The product seems to be very simple in nature, but is a must have for everyone who is building a eurorack which spans a few layers of hp.

Jaime | Nov. 4, 2022

I got one!

For Beaks, a throughhole PWM version of MI Peaks

Very fast shipping!!

I got the pcbs, the panel and the other components. You can find the BOM here -> https://github.com/SourceryOne/Beaks/blob/main/Beaks%20BOM.pdf
Kristian, it would be super if you make a video to build this one, it looks promising!

Sjoerd | Oct. 10, 2021

Great product and excellent support from the seller

For Proto (P-0+o) - Prototyping board

I had some questions regarding shipment; seller was extremely helpfull and friendly. Shipping to the Netherlands was quick; the boards are of great quality and use.

DIYers must have

For POW - Modular Power Panel

Great tool for diy-modulebuilding. Having a power rail on front panel makes life easier. Only missing star is from the front socket beeing too deep compared to panel. For general safety it might be handy to have cover for the socket included

Thanks for the feedback. I want to comment that I do send along an empty 16 pin socket, that is supposed to be used as a cover for the front panel socket.
Take care! /Kristian (with a really late reply ;)

Good cheap solution for all your mixing problems

For ASMR - A Simple Mixer Right?

This was a nice easy build.. clear with video next to it, but would have preferred a little more documentation than only the schematics. Print-out has my preference with building over a video, but that could be personal of course ;-)
The only problem what I have with it; the holes are drilled in a unlucky fashion so that's it taking extra space in my eurorack, but hey for this price you can't complain too much right? :)

James | Dec. 11, 2020

Great little mixer for a great price! Good beginner DIY kit.

For ASMR - A Simple Mixer Right?

I gave shipping 4 stars rating since it was included, but shipping from Sweden to West Coast Canada took 33 days. This was somewhat expected, but still sucks when you are waiting for a new project to show up...COVID delays are real folks, lol. Kristian was super responsive and helpful when I contacted him, which is great.

The instruction video for building this is good. This is a pretty simple DIY project. It has a couple tight spots, but nothing to be concerned about. This thing can be customized in several ways to suit your needs, and you can go back and change it fairly easy if you want to. This is a great project for beginners, totally recommend it.

Thanks for a great little kit!

Simple busboard

For Eurorack power busboard 18 (3x6) connectors

Lovely simple busboard for Eurorack.
Can be made in minutes and used.
Simple layout that can be modified as needed.

Thank you.

Excellent simple 12V and 5V power supply

For +/-12V and 5V Powersupply for Eurorack

If you need a really simple and clean power supply then look no further.

Designed for Eurorack projects but can be used for many other things as well - as i have done!

I got two - one for a fixed system and another to play on my bench.

Great stuff!

David | Sept. 13, 2020

Lovely simple mixer

For ASMR - A Simple Mixer Right?

Excellent simple mixer you can put together quickly.

One minor note would be the documentation and video are for an eariler version of the board so you need work out the difference yourself.

Also, easier to put in the grounding for the sockets as you go rather than leave them all till the end - but to be fair maybe that is just personal preference!

Worked first time and does exactly what it says on the tin!

Derek | Aug. 2, 2020

An excellent mixer, simple to build & easy to use!

For ASMR - A Simple Mixer Right?

An excellent mixer, simple to build & easy to use! The existing build video is out of date but covers all the basics for building it. I love the ability to have the stereo and inverted outputs. Works a treat, however i may end up switching out 2 of the 10K resisters for higher versions for hot modules (as described in the video).

Perfect for a diy eurorack!

For +/-12V and 5V Powersupply for Eurorack

Great PSU for a simple diy eurorack! Great seller with great youtube channel! Recommended! Thanks for the swift shipping!

Kalle | July 18, 2020

First step made easier

For +/-12V and 5V Powersupply for Eurorack

When you're about to dive into the sea of modular synths, the first obstacle is affortable power source. This is a perfect price range for your first modular. Documentation could be more specific about the requirements of the AC/AC adapter this needs.

Georgi | July 18, 2020

Very easy to build and fun to use!

For ASMR - A Simple Mixer Right?

Took me around 30 minutes to assemble it and worked like a charm! I like the front panel design too - nicely fit in my eurorack!

Ricard | June 25, 2020

Great!

For +/-12V and 5V Powersupply for Eurorack

Bought this as my first entry to eurorack and will start to buil it as soon as possible, the seller was responsive when i asked him a couple questions and answered fast. Overall good first powersource and ultra cheap and small. thanks!

Matt | June 17, 2020

Great power distribution board

For Eurorack power busboard 18 (3x6) connectors

A cleaver solution to manufacturing the distribution boards.Supplied at a great price and shipped very quickly.

My only recommendation would be advise the user to joint the PCBs together before soldering the IDC connectors.

On the whole a super product, I'm very happy.

Martin | May 20, 2020

a well thought out board design

For Proto (P-0+o) - Prototyping board

I like the layout of these boards. build quality looks ok. There is no documentation (none is needed) and i didn't have to communicate with the seller, but you have to rate, so based on other products i've given good ratings.

Very useful piece of kit

For +/-12V Powersupply for Eurorack or DIY synths

I recently purchased one of these to follow with the Modular in a Week series on YouTube by Kristian Blasol. The kit was very easy to assemble and works perfectly, very useful when testing circuits. If you are to be following this series I’d suggest buying two, as I wired one into my rack and realised it was a bit of hassle to then quickly test new circuits as I’d have to remove modules to access the power supply. I’d advise to also buy some JST XH two pin and three pin Male and female connectors to easily connect to this. Overall very happy with this product.
