Befaco Lunch Bus : Building a portable modular

[@hmfddawg]

That's the best use of a yoga mat I've ever seen.

gracias Don Quijote, perdón Quincas... a soldar!

[@QuincasMoreira]

Jajaja, gracias a ti!

[@profpep]

Lovely work, both the case and the sound! Less is very often more, with modular work. This is, after all, music making, not Pokemon.

[@QuincasMoreira]

My thoughts exactly Mike :)

[@BadChizzle]

You got some great sounds from this creative enclosure exercise, when completed. Thanks for almost always providing me with some inspiration of some flavor or another. Hey... even when I don’t get inspired... I have some fun. Golden ! ! ! It’s super Cool that you get to do sounds n such for a cartoon! That’s a big deal in my opinion! Bye

[@QuincasMoreira]

This is currently my quarantine case, easy to carry around the house when I can't have alone time in the studio :)

[@jasonw.2232]

Wonderful work!

[@QuincasMoreira]

Thanks!

[@RosalvoParadella]

Ótimo trabalho Quincas.

[@QuincasMoreira]

Obrigado!

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Great work! Looks awesome!

[@QuincasMoreira]

Thanks!

[@bbartokk]

Did you make the little knob attached to the yellow patch cable seen at 6:13? Do you have info on making one?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Yes, it's an attenuator. I explain how to make them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4usfIh7ncqdg7M

[@araguet]

Muy bueno!! felicitaciones

[@QuincasMoreira]

Gracias :)

[@brucebaldy]

the little power supply power both box units? I like em.

[@RubenSansaRivero]

hi, what power suppy uses to conect to the current?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Hi! I use a 12v DC supply that used to belong to a Hard Drive. Check out the specs at Befaco's page

[@ZElTGElST]

Hey Quincas, I have the same hexagonal passive floating mults that you use in the Aquarius. Mine are stereo. Is there any chance that stereo could short the circuits or are ok to use in eurorack?. Blue is the Aquarian colour, by the way. It matches the concept ;). The final jam is fantastic!. Do you have bandcamp or similar?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Hi! Yeah, mine are stereo too, you're fine, works just as well :) Yes, this is why I named it Aquarium, after I saw the finished box all in blue! Glad you like the jam! Here are my Bandcamp and Soundcloud links: quincas.bandcamp.com/music soundcloud.com/drdubastein/electrocumbia soundcloud.com/synthdiyguy

[@mrotaveria]

Great sound out of this "little" box. Whats the sound of the bass? Even VCO?

[@QuincasMoreira]

yes it is :)

[@midilyfestyle]

You're scoring a cartoon series?! :)

[@QuincasMoreira]

Yeah, that's my actual job, composing for film, commercials, television, sound libraries, etc... It's a web series to promote a kind of big kid diaper, for kids who no longer wear diapers but still wet their beds at night... Fun stuff, I did all of the sound design with the Aquarium!

[@kollagebeats]

Great video! What is the name of the power supply board for the addon skiff you made?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Thanks! That's the Frogleg Mini Bus by Pete Hartman. it's a prototype he gave me, I don't think they are available commercially yet.

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

I think I just saw my future eurorack power) Either this or their jumpskiff kit. How do you find it in terms of quality - good, clean, or medium-you-get-what-you-paid-for?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Actually, surprisingly good! No noise, no fluctuations, no crosstalk... So far so good, much better than other DCDC converters I've used.

[@almohadillaseisefes]

gracias por compartir!

[@QuincasMoreira]

Un gusto!

[@debaserNYC]

Excellent as always! What are you using for delay in the Aquarium?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Thanks! There's a Pico DSP right next to the Befaco output module!

[@vhznyo]

Cual eliminador usaste o recomiendas ? saludos!

[@enekolorentebilbao1746]

Nice build!!! Do you have a Quijote un your arm? :)

[@QuincasMoreira]

Thanks! Yes I do, Picasso's Quijote on one arm, and a Bison from Altamira on my shoulder :)

[@enekolorentebilbao1746]

Synth Diy Guy 2 iconic spanish art! Like It!

[@QuincasMoreira]

yes! And I got them way before I even imagined I would end up moving to a Spanish speaking country :)

[@prsy]

I don't remember if I'm imagining this, but did you say in a different video that you modded your lunch bus? If so what was the mod?

[@QuincasMoreira]

yes! a few months ago, i replaced the DCDC converter with the 30W one that comes with the Befaco Excalibus. Just to have some extra juice, not that this one was struggling at all :)

[@Neurotypique]

Nice build! I recently built à case myself and struggled with precisely placing holes for the rails... The screw heads are too big and step on one another a little, that is really many unplanned parameters to take into consideration !

[@QuincasMoreira]

Totally! The metal brackets I used for measuring were super important. If I'd had 4 I would have used them in the case, but since I only had 3, at least I could use one to make sure the measurements were correct!

[@Neurotypique]

Synth Diy Guy believe it or not, doepfer's 84HP rails are shorter than eowave's 84HP rails... I noticed it trying to expand doepfer's A-100 6U DIY to a 7U

[@QuincasMoreira]

the nice thing about standards, is that there are so many to choose from! LOL

[@Neurotypique]

Synth Diy Guy 19 inches should remain 19 inches everywhere though...

[@QuincasMoreira]

I'm joking of course... Doepfer sets the standard, I think Etherwave gives you a tiny bit extra just in case. Easy enough to file it off I guess :)

[@NiamorH]

maybe putting the rails higher (not so deep inside the case) would have been better for accessing pots and jacks more easily near sides and corners?

[@QuincasMoreira]

Actually the sides don't get in the way at all, it's super playable as it is. And having the raised sides protects the knobs, during transport and in case the rack falls on it's face. It was a conscious decision to do it this way :)

[@Natemasterflex]

What the heck is a Centimeter? Hahaha jokes. Nice video👍

[@QuincasMoreira]

hahaha

[@ardakaniz2740]

Hey! How do you screw the voltage regulator? To me, it seems that the holes are too close so either i can't screw it or can't place his legs in the holes. Any idea?

[@ardakaniz2740]

Also, i have a 2.5mm connector but it doesn't get in, what should be the outer size? 🤔

[@QuincasMoreira]

try bending the legs 90% with a pair of pliers so they go through the holes and the screw hole lines up.

[@QuincasMoreira]

Most my standard barrel connectors here fit. The Rackbrute PSU for examples works fine. Check the specs on that in the Arturia site.

[@VictorSteiner]

What is your Oscilloscope module called please? :)

[@QuincasMoreira]

Hi! It's not a module, it's a standalone pocket scope I built from a kit: www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-2-4-TFT-DSO150-15001K-DSO-Shell-Oscilloscope-Diy-Kit-Pocket-Digital-Oscilloscope-Learning-Kit/32845489951.html?spm=2114.search0204.3.25.25d9197b6bveyJ&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_5722815_10342_10343_10340_5722915_10341_5722615_10696_10084_10083_10618_10307_5722715_5711215_10059_308_100031_10103_10624_10623_10622_5711315_5722515_10621_10620,searchweb201603_2,ppcSwitch_5_ppcChannel&algo_expid=68dca499-bb32-4012-a52e-7661122a7688-3&algo_pvid=68dca499-bb32-4012-a52e-7661122a7688&priceBeautifyAB=0

[@VictorSteiner]

Aaah ok, thnx. I'm not into soldering, so I'm gonna pass on this one. But looks nice in your rack!

[@QuincasMoreira]

there's an assembled version for 20 bucks too!

[@VictorSteiner]

Synth Diy Guy does it easily connect or do I need Adapters to audio?

[@QuincasMoreira]

it comes with alligator clips, which you can clip to the end of an audio cable. I just made a special cable with a proper audio jack. You really should het into soldering, makes life better ;)

[@aliendough]
