DIY Video Tutorials: Buidling a Phaser pedal

Well, I'm back after a nice winter's break and ready to start some foot-stomping DIY pedal making noise, inspired by the good people at Build Your Own Clone and Beavis Audio, home of the Beavis Board DIY stompbox. So, to kick things off, here are a few DIY video tutorials on building a clone of the EH Small Stone Phaser pedal...

TX Modular audio engine (OS X)

TX Modular is a standalone audio engine, written in SuperCollider (not required) for OS X, that facilitates building fully interactive (generative, improvisatory, etc...) audio systems. The system includes some of the basic modules that you might find in synths and samplers, such as: sample & loop players, envelope generators, filters, and step sequencers, etc. (See List of All Modules for more details). You can choose which modules to use, as well as samples and loops, and build these into a "system" which can then be saved. Audio and modulation signals can be sent around the system allowing for all kinds of ways to link and control modules.

The TX Modular system is free software released under the GNU General Public License (version 2).
