1Start with a plan (YES! The boring part) with lots of pictures...
Write, draw, doodle, surf and copy, whatever you do to learn just do it, and find what you’d like to stick in your Volca Bass and just try it. Bread board the circuit and then transfer that design to a prototype on a protoboard..experiment! But most of all STOP! If it turns into work. Its supposed to be fun. Take your time. Ask questions, watch videos!
I used green painters tape. I learned this from LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER’s YouTube channel. If you never seen his Gameboy synth, then you have never really seen a Synth made out of a hundred Gameboys play the THX roar. then have you?
Make sure and and use painters tape to prevent the plastic from cracking and it leaves a really nice cut. Painters tape has a similar adhesive viscosity to the peel on stickers and vinyl stickers you can buy. Great stuff! I recommend it or the blue kind works just as good. The green is a little ... more... its just more better... (yes I know) more of everything that is good about ... er... tape :)
Yeah my crooked holes... I even used a ruler, and I measured them so precise (no stop laughing.... I did for reals man) thats the way hacking goes. Its not an exact science. I fretted over that for too long to not have fun. This stuff is fun, its cheap, I’m using my brain, I hope.. I can sell it or trade it for something cool around the community. This are going to be around for a long time I can tell. Oh and I leave my initials amongst my mods so look for it, If you want me to look over a mod to tell you if one that I did I’d be more that happy.
There are lots of mods all over methuselah and back, above the ground, underground, the dark web, the light web, heck I was even scrounging libraries and old musical theorie books trying to soak up knowledge about this stuff. Its really amazing. Ok enough chit chat... ( I heard “it’ll get ya hurt”) lets mod!
