Brighton Modular Meet – Saturday November 16th 2013
The Brighton Modular meet is a great place to check out Thonk goods and I’ll be bringing plenty of stock. Previous meets have featured a fine array of systems, including Eurorack, 5U, Buchla, Serge and BugBrand.
If you can’t see the embedded video, click here.
It’ll also be a great opportunity to listen to the the forthcoming Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb DIY kit in action and meet the designer Tom Whitwell.
The event is held at Sussex University. There is an abundance of free parking right next to the venue and it’s easy to load and unload equipment, with plenty of help on hand if you bring heavy gear. If you have any questions drop me a line or check out the thread on Muffwiggler.

Thonk at Brighton Mini Maker Faire this weekend
I’m exhibiting at Brighton Mini Maker Faire this Saturday (7th September) – Come along!
I’ll have my modular system burbling away to itself, stock for sale and working versions of many of the module kits I’ve sold to date. I’ll also have final prototypes of the ALM SID GUTS Eurorack module, which uses the classic Commodore64 SID sound chip.
It costs £5 to get in for adults, tickets are available on the door but you can avoid queues by booking in advance. Kids under 16 go free.
There are loads of cool music and synth projects, hardware hacking, robots, Raspberry PI, 3D printers, submarines and even crazy bio-tech stuff. As well as just wandering around in an amazed daze, you can take part in practical workshops on the Sunday too. Thonk customers should feel at home!
Expert Sleepers – Glow in the dark cables back in stock – New Sizes
We have a restock of Expert Sleepers Glow In The Dark patch cables, in a larger range of new sizes (15, 30, 45 & 60cm).
80cm cables are now discontinued so once they’re gone, they’re gone.
We are also stocking the Expert Sleepers ‘Floating Ring’ cables, which are specifically designed for use with Expert Sleepers eurorack modules, DC-Coupled interfaces and CV capable software such as Silent Way, Motu Volta, Max-MSP etc. These cables are also a great way of getting external audio into your modular.
