New Electronic’s DIY page!

Posted on by

Changes are afoot!  As the year since our website launch is upon us we will be seeking to complete many of the loose ends around our pages.

The first such change is the appearance of the new Electronics DIY page.  Like our other index pages it is there to provide links to useful content, tools and other resources to get your project off the ground.  We have included some references to DIY kits for all levels as well as some of the better guitar circuit collections we frequent.  Pulling out the solder iron to bring analog and digital audio projects to life has always held a dear place in our heart! So in time, we hope to provide our readers with many original tutorials and designs.  As usual, if you think there is something you feel we left out – we would love to hear about them.

As we continue to grow, we will be rearranging some pages and moving content so please bear with us!

Redwood Audio Backs Vo-96!

Posted on by

Redwood Audio is pleased to announce our support of the Vo-96 Kickstarter campaign!  Vo-96 (was Lev-96)We hope this support helps bring the Vo-96 to life and into our shop for future builds.  The technology – being described as “Acoustic Synthesis” – represents, in our view, a huge step forward in active string control.  The device allows independent control of odd/even harmonics, sustain length (including muting) and adds the concepts of auto modulation, tremelo and arpeggios.  In a sense, it brings the many concepts of wave synthesis direct to the sting vibrations of your guitar.

If you have been following the technology, its proof-of-concept debut was as the Moog Lev-96 which had some good buzz in the media (and got our attention).  It is now being productized by the inventor Paul Vo as the Vo-96.  You can find out more at his site or the kickstarter page including the growing number of youtube videos.  If you want to join the backers, there are still two weeks left to back with rewards including 1st run units.  Be sure to check back with Redwood Audio to see how we get on with our kit as well as the upcoming builds.
