Materialising the Blackbox
Introduction
In this special issue we will explore the physicality behind slick black boxes as for example found in everyone's pockets today. Be it hardware or software. The goal is to make the interactions, interfaces and connections explicit through hands-on research and play. Informed by the fact all modern day electronics still adhere to the paradigm of modularity, like the earliest computer designs we will collaboratively build one or more devices that explore notions of modularity, complexity/simplicity, interfaces, darkpatterns, input/output while explicitly giving insight into the black box, but this time including a manual.
To encourage affection with the materiality of the blackbox we will create our own. Starting of by constructing the building blocks of a synthesizer, allowing the creation of complex outputs by interfacing/combining relatively simple operations. As a clear framework we will start off by working with sound, your fastest sensor. Compatible with the possibly familiar 'Eurorack' format (as developed by Doepfer) we will be constructing several electronic modules that allow the output of one module to be the input for the next. Expanding upon the original discrete, or analog approach, each of our modules offer a programmable interface, eventually allowing for interfacing beyond the blackbox.
As single modules perform one job and one job well, you will have to anticipate and even require the output of someone elses module in order for yours to work. Coinciding with your research we will create one or several 'outputs' consisting of an interface, electronics and a manual.

Schedule
The program consists of three main sections, building, interfacing and coding and going public. Bring headphones to every class!
Building
Getting your hands dirty.
Week 1 - Sept 17
Today you will become modules of a modular synth! First we need to construct them though:
Construct: Meergranen (Optionally + LFO)
pad: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/lfp1 (Keep build notes, address points of improvements, happy accidents and tips)
git: https://git.xpub.nl/XPUB/special-issue-x
build manual: File:Manual-meergranen.pdf (20MB PDF)
BEFORE YOU POWER YOUR MODULE, LET ME TAKE A LOOK
arduino firmware: Arduino Firmware (ZIP file)
software: Arduino IDE + Driver
PLEASE BRING A MINI USB CABLE (with power + data lines) and Headphones (3.5mm jack)
homework:
-Play with the various Arduino Firmware (ZIP file) found in that zip file. Note some codes might need an external trigger (control voltage, 0-5v) in order to produce sound. Other codes might only produce triggers (no sound), used to sequence/trigger other modules. Make notes on the pad above what you find interesting, what functionality you would like to have, what sounds?
-Record your own sample, using the 'Memphis' example firmware and script below: http://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Category:Lfp#Adding_custom_audio_samples
Week 2 - Sept 23,24,25,28
Workshop with Olli Aarni
Notepad: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/olliworkshop
During the first part of the workshop the participants will learn about different interfaces of making sounds and music. We will explore such questions as: How do restrictions lead to creative solutions? How does technology affect the outcome of the creative process? How does the interface itself relate to its output?
We will listen to different sounds and develop our own concepts and categories for understanding, grouping and creating sounds. The process will combine language and sound in order to create a unique categorisation system, which will be used later as a basis for building a modular sound producing system.
Furthermore there will be a small introduction into modular synthesis and practical logic concerning your modules and demo of various in's and out's

Hardware
Modules - Mult
A simple module; just a front panel and jack sockets connected to each other (tip to tip (+), sleeve (gnd) to sleeve). Creating a passive (non-powered/buffered/unsafe) crude kind of mixer!
Notice the two sections of five jacks, distinguishing audio from CV. This is for safety, since our 'Meergranen' output (audio) is not protected from potential control voltages of -12v to 12v.
SO always try to mix audio with audio and CV with CV (if you have spare arduinos you can igonre this message, because modulating audio with CV can be interesting!).
Modules - Arduino Tool 'Meergranen'
Meergranen, front+back, no frontpanel
NOTE: there is a bug in the IDC connection, pin 7 and 8 need to be bridged if you want to power the module through usb (for testing)
NOTE: the optional button is wired incorrectly and is not usable. It needs a jumper from 5v (arduino) pin and a jumper to any of the free digital pins see.
WARNING: the output port is UNPROTECTED agains overcurrent/voltage/reversepolarity. Use it as OUPUT and dont connect it to another output for example.
What can the jack inputs do?
The output of Meergranen (audio or PWM) delivers about 5v. Enough to easily light a LED (or activate another Meergranen!)
Adding custom audio samples
Download Arduino firmware examples here: Arduino Firmware (ZIP file) Indie the zip file you will find grains-sounds-master.zip, unzip and flash one of the arduino sketches found in the 'patches' folder. Grains-sounds is a basic sample player that allows you to manipulate pitch, start and end of a sample (using the potentiometers or control voltage). To add your own samples, just replace the 'sample.h' file with one of your own. To prepare an audio sample for this firmware:
-install sox (and Audacity ) (mac: install homebrew and then install brew install sox)
-make 3 second (loop) of a sound in Audacity for example
-convert stereo sound to mono
-export as wav file (16bit)
-in Terminal, navigate yo your exported soundfile and convert it to 8bit, 8000hz: (alternatively use the script below to convert your 16bit wav file exported from Audacity directly to sample.h!)
sox your_sound_file.wav -t u8 -c 1 -r 8000 output.wav xxd -i output.wav > sample.h
you end up with a hexadecimal encoded soundfile now in an array.
C code needs to know the length of the array before hand:
at the bottom of sample.h it says the length of the file,
for example 27278.
in sample.h search and replace the first line:
unsigned char out2_wav[] = {
with, note you have to change the sound_lenght into that of your sample:
#define SAMPLE_RATE 8000 const int sound_length=27278; const unsigned char sound_data[] PROGMEM= {
Script
You can use this bash script to automatize the creation of sample.h (instructions below):
#!/bin/sh # Prepares a sample.h file # sed not used, should just werk (TM) everywhere # Usage: ./samplify.sh my_sample.wav # Or you can install samplify.sh in your ~/bin and call it # from anywhere you like # Convert original soundfile and create sample.h # A temp file is needed oftherwise xxd is unable to generate # sample length information? sox "${1}" -t u8 -c 1 -r 8000 /tmp/sample.wav xxd -i /tmp/sample.wav > sample.h rm /tmp/sample.wav # Extract sample length SAMPLE_LEN=$(tail -1 sample.h | cut -d ' ' -f 5 | tr -d ';') # Inject SAMPLE_LEN in new file header NEW_HEADER="#define SAMPLE_RATE 8000 const int sound_length=${SAMPLE_LEN}; const unsigned char sound_data[] PROGMEM= {" # Remove first line of sample.h echo "$(tail -n +2 sample.h)" > sample.h # Prepend new header to sample.h echo "$(echo "${NEW_HEADER}"; cat sample.h)" > sample.h
The latest version will be updated on the trimester's git repos! https://git.xpub.nl/XPUB/special-issue-x/src/branch/master/utils/samplify.sh
How to use the script: Copy paste the text above in a texteditor (raw text, not Textedit) and save as 'samplify.sh'. Open a terminal and make the file executable:
chmod +x samplify.sh
Put your wave file in the same directory as samplify.sh and in terminal run:
./samplify.sh yourfile.wav
This will generate the sample.h file needed for the sample player arduino firmware as in the 'memphis' example. Just replace the sample.h in that folder with your newly generated one. Flash the arduino with the memphis code again and it should now play our own custom sample!
Pro tip: 27278 bytes is about the maximum lenght of sample storage on arduino nano (+ the script that plays the sample). If sound sample is a bit too long/big you can simply speed it up in Audacity, the script allows for pitch bending, so you can make up for the increase in speed. Possiblt there is some head room in the sample rate (8000hz) in the above example. Reducing this will result in smaller file, but lower quality (resolution). Possibly the playback speed will increase as well (since the script anticipates the sample rate of 8000hz, ofcourse this is adjustable by yourself).

Modules - Low frequency oscillator
Analog lfo frequency oscillator, delivers waves below the speed of sound. Usefull for triggering other things (beats, filters, etc). Based on quad-opamp, can deliver up to 2x square wave + 2x triangle wave. In this configuration/pcb only 1x square + 1x triangle. Speed of oscillation depening on potentiometer.
Build Instructions
Building this module is a soft introduction into the world of electronics where humans cannot handle, build, or see the components they are using. Introducing: Surface Mount Devices > SDM (or surface mount technology > SMT). In contrast to 'through hole type' components, these smd parts don't need drilling at all, efficient! Not designed to be handled by humans, but for space saving and efficiency, you can still try!
Use the BOM (Bill Of Materials) to see what components you need. This time we introduce IC's, Transistors and IDC connectors. They all have a specific orientation. The white silkscreen on the PCB hints at this, but sometimes its hard to see (LED +, long leg goes into square hole) or drawn incorrectly:
BUG: The white silkscreen of the IDC connector (marked 'JP2') is wrong, Refer to the example how it should be (hint, 180deg turn).
Soldering SMD
-put a little bit of solder on 1 pad of the pcb
-check the orientation of the IC (Integrated Circuit, the SMD component)
-CHECK AGAIN WHERE PIN 1 SHOULD GO!
-place smd ic correctly on the pads, keep in place with finger
-touch the leg that corresponds with the pad containing some solder
-let the solder melt, and remove the soldering iron
-now the ic is fixed in place!
-check the orientation again, now is the time to make corrections (when all pins are soldered its very very hard to remove the IC withouth damaging the board and ic.)
solder the rest of the pins:
-clean your soldering tip (do this for every pin)
-touch the pin+pad with soldering tip, add some solder, remove soldering tip
-repeat.
-the pin spacing is small, dont add too much solder, clean tip after soldering each pin (clean bridges with solder wick).

Glossary
Patch Cables - mono 3.5 mm male jack-jack cables used to interconnect eurorack modules.
Control Voltage - or CV, a signal used to control synths. typically within the -15 to +15v range (DC or AC).
Breadboard - or solderless-breadboard is a plastic board with interconnected holes for prototyping electronic circuits using jumper cables instead of (semi) permanent solder.
Soldering tin - combination of low melting point metals and resin flux. Sticks to copper, various metals and itself (not to aluminium, stainless steel, plastic, wood etc.)
PCB - Printed Circuit Board - Fiberglass (FR4) coated with copper. Etching away the copper allows for creating traces for electrical circuits. Professionally made boards are silskreened with soldermask (only exposing the places where solder is allowed and protecting the fragile copper traces + lettering for component placement.
Resistor - Slows down electrons, reducing current and thus voltage (Ohms Law, U=IxR) by converting it to heat. Units in Ohms > 1k = 1 kilo Ohm = 1000 Ohm, 0r = 0 Ohm (can be used to bride traces on a PCB)
LED - Light emitting diode, Has polarity: a positive (anode) and negative (cathode) leg. The longest leg is the positive one, keep this in mind when placing the component!
LDR - Light Dependant Resistor, a variable resitor based on light. The more light the lower the resistance and vice versa. Also called light sensor. Units in Ohms
Potentiometer - Rotary or sliding (like on audio mixers) variable resistor. Resistance is changed by turning the knob. Units in Ohms
Ceramic Capacitor - No polarity. Stores enegry until full and then releases it (like a bucket). Can be used for filtering signals (high frequencies will chose to go over a capacitor, low frequencies rather choose to go through a resistor). Units in Farad (pico, nano)
Electrolytic Capacitor - Has polarity. Stores enegry until full and then releases it (like a bucket). (high frequencies will chose to go over a capacitor, low frequencies rather choose to go through a resistor)Units in Farad (mirco, milli)
IC - Integrated Circuit, a single component housing various circuits. Examples: 555 timer, CMOS logic, Opamps,
IDC Connector - Special 'solderless' connectors for ribbon cable, press fit. Use vice, not hammer, be gentle on the brittle material.
Heatshrink - Tube that shrinks when heat is applied (use: lighter, paintstripper, soldering iron), handy for isolating wires, contacts and blocking external light when using LDRS
SMD/SMT - Surface Mount Device/Surface Mount Technology; components that are not soldered through holes, but directly to the PCB
THT - Through Hole Type: components that have long legs that go ...through holes before soldering
Trigger - a control voltage that gives a quick peak, used to trigger drums for example. Typically a harsh square wave.
Gate - a control voltage that follows a (ADSR) slope over time, useful for filters, pitch, notes. Typically a complex wave.
Transistor - Using a plumbing analogy: this is a tap: turn it open with a little effort (current) , allows many electrons to flow. Usable as switch (on off) and thus also to create oscillations (rapid on-off switches).
Ribbon cable - Also called flat cable, multiple parallel conducting wires. (Dutch: lint- or bandkabel)
Vactrols - Vactrols turn voltage into resistance. The 'hotter' the signal, the lower the resistance. Consist of one LED and one LDR, applying voltage to the LED creates light, influencing the resistance of the LDR.
Wire Wrap - before through hole and smd, there was wire wrap, wrap the components legs around a header pin for a airtight solderless, reverseable connection.

Shops
Up until a few years ago it was not strange to bike a few minutes to a nearby electronics shop to buy a headphone jack input socket or battery holder. In 2015 the last electronics (component) shop of Rotterdam closed (DIL). Many preceded (2014 Van Der Bend) and many followed, leaving us with just a handful of physical shops to get (unwanted) advice and goods at a premium price without waiting for yellow envelopes from China. Besides not being able to physically examine the goods for sale (will it fit?) more important issues arise. Beyond supporting your local entrepreneur, the decline of DIY shops like the above signify a certain level of consumerism, painfully acknowledging planned obsolesce over DIY repair culture.
