Sonic Potions - Penrose (Silver)

Product information "Sonic Potions - Penrose (Silver)"
Penrose is a very nice CV quantizer DIY kit for the Eurorack format. It takes an incoming continuous CV voltage and converts it to the nearest note in a scale. Active notes can be selected with the 12 buttons. You can use it to tune the output of your analog sequencer, as a semi random melody generator, for fast chiptune arpeggios and much more.

It comes as a complete kit with all needed parts to build it. That includes an aluminum frontpanel, high quality jacks and illuminated bi-color push buttons. The project is open source, so the schematic and source code is available.

Product Safety Information

Eurorack DIY Kits

Important Notice & Intended Use
Please read this safety guide before installation or use. This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis. Assembly, including soldering, is required. Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation. The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.

General Warnings

1. Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.

2. Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.

3. Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.

4. Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.

5. Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.

Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.

Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.

Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the power is off.
• Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.

Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for proper assembly and testing. Contact manufacturer support for assistance if needed.

Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.

Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.

Manufacturer "Sonic Potions"

Sonic Potions is run by Julian Schmidt, currently located in Schwärzelbach, Germany. I started getting involved in the SDIY scene around 2001, building my own synths as a hobby. Over the years I've build a lot of stuff, including some of the Midibox machines, modular gear, a simplesizer, the xoxbox and several circuit bending projects. I've been producing music since the mid 90's and have been playing several shows with my project 'A Boy and his SID' around 2005. Some of my tunes can be found at Soundcloud. In 2008 I made my engineering diploma (Dipl. Ing) in media and computer science at the THM Gießen/Friedberg on the topic of generative wavetable synthesis. Before founding Sonic Potions, I worked for several years as a developer in the music industry on projects including the Scope DSP platform and the John Bowen Solaris synthesizer.
