A tube-based synthesizer. Some ideas to be picked up here: http://cgs.synth.net/tube/index.html or here: http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2013/01/10/the-knifonium-vacuum-tube-synthesizer/ or here: http://cdm.link/2016/04/this-is-what-a-steampunk-synth-with-25-tubes-sounds-like/
Unfortunately, tubes are slightly linear and doesn’t automatically give the nice exponential curve that is esential in making athe octaves. Another cool project would be, still the the musical domain, a Theremin: https://antiqueradio.org/BuildingATubeTheremin.htm http://www.channelroadamps.com/articles/theremin/ http://www.theremin.us/126/126revised.html http://www.thereminworld.com/schematics?tag=tube%20theremins Whatever you decide to build, the chances to make a steampunk design increases when using tubes. /Magnus K Sweden From: SWISSNIXIE - Jonathan F.

Hello Folks, Being relatively young, i clearly missed the vacuum tube age by a lot of years :-) Still vacuum tubes and especially nixies became my hobby and i'm very interested in them. The internet is full of audio vacuum tube projects like amplifiers. But i don't want to do audio projects for a buch of different reasons. But i really would like to do a project with vacuum tubes (other than nixies..) that is usesfull to, and shows the beauty of these devices. The only audio device i would build is a radio, but since AM/FM gets less supported i don't know if its a good idea. Can anyone here make suggestions what useful* project could be made with vacuum tubes other than an amplifier? Thanks for your suggestions * by useful i mean something you could use for a purpose and not just a construction to decorate a shelf. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
