This schematic shows trigger points and clock injection points for EKO Rhythm Maker to be used with uniPulse.

To our knowledge this has not been tested yet, if you have, please let us know.

Trigger points are marked in two variants: rectangular are before the volume control, round after the volume control. In case of the LIMSHOT (sic.) there is no volume control so points are the same. Configure uniPulse to use positive trigger.

in order to use clock sync, you will have to remove one leg of C35 so create separate points A and B. Use a two-pole switch and wire it up to points A, B and C. Connect D0 output from unipulse to one side of the switch using a 4k7 resistor. Connect D1 output from uniPulse to a generic NPN Transistor unsing a 4k7 resistor. (As shown in the middle of the graphic).
If you configure D0 as clock output and D1 as start/stop you can use the switch to select between internal clock and midi clock.

Power for uniPulse is marked in green as +V and -V. Voltage at +V might not be high enough for the uniPulse in which case you could use a separate power supply for uniPulse. If you have measured the voltage at +V point, please let us know, so we can correct this paragraph.

After installing the UniPulse in your Korg Mini Pops 7 you can also add individual outputs for each of the instrument.

PRE IN Bus

Many of the instruments are connected to the PRE IN Bus wich is marked red in the schematic. To gain access to each instrument connected to the PRE IN Bus you have to solder out the pins of the resistors theat are connected to the PRE IN Bus.
It is not too easy to find the resistors on the board itself so numbered the spots where you have to solder out the pins.

We are currently producing a new batch of ModyPoly and Juno-66.
You can pre order now, we will ship as soon as possible.
Will most likely ship not later then mid-May

Currently preparing for Superbooth 2017, hope to see you there!

We are at booth 0305 on the second floor.

The SH-1oh1 µTune is a special edition of the Tubbutec SH-1oh1. It has all the features of the SH-1oh1 but also:

• Microtuning with high resolution
• Upload up to 31 custom scales via midi sysex. For example using Scala.
• Switch scales live
• Includes a scale editor! For each key you can set base note, coarse and fine pitch via midi CC. Save your custom scale when satisfied.
• Export scales via midi-sysex, or send them to other synths
• Custom tuning available on CV-out (5 octaves only)

The SH-1oh1 µTune special edition is hand assembled and tested in our workshop.

The user manual can be found here: SH-1oh1 µTune user manual (PDF) (Chapter 8 describes µTune features)

The installation manual can be found here: SH-1oh1 µTune installation manual (PDF)

You can order the SH-1oh1 µTune in our shop.

With the uniPulse installed you are able to trigger each of the Korg  KR-55’s instruments individually via midi. Here we will show you how to add individual outputs that are scaled to line level.

Polysex, the first Tubbutec product released in 2013 will be discontinued soon. We had made a batch of 50 front panels of which are now 4 left. We are not planning to have another batch of panels produced, so if you were thinking about gifting your Polysix with a Polysex mod, now is your last chance..
We will however continue selling Polysex PCBs for a while.

Due to popular demand there is now a hardware update for the Juno-66. It increases the range of the filter control, which also allows larger amounts for the additional filter ADSR, Tri-LFO and SH/LFO. The range is increased by a factor of three.

We now ship the Juno-66 with this modification, it is however relatively simple to perform and can be done by a skilled solderer and any synth tech. This is how to do it.

Happy to announce, that ModyPoly, Juno-66 and SH-1oh1 are back in stock. Pre-orders will be shipped today.
