Reverse Landfill Aconitum Noise Mixer - DIY Build
We are HUGE fans of Reverse Landfill and their modules and we were lucky enough to pick up the Aconitum CV mixer module prior to it being discontinued. This noise mixer module has 3 types of analog noise which include white and 2 colored typed with adjustable bass and treble knobs.
The noise outputs are also normalized to the volume knobs and if nothing is patched in, these outputs control the noise volume. At only 8HP, the Reverse Landfill Aconitum Noise Mixer was our first build of 2021.
As with any Reverse Landfill module, Martijn (the owner) provides excellent documentation via his website. You can download the Aconitum V2 Build files here or on the main Reverse Landfill website. After you download the build files, it is important to read the BOM carefully. There are no fancy graphics showing components so you will want to make sure you know how to read a BOM.
If you don’t know how to read a BOM, you might want to go ahead and turn away. Martijn’s modules are for the intermediate to advanced builders and novices will want to take a backseat on these until they have a little more experience. Now, enough with all of the intro stuff… you know how we do this… on with the build!!
Resistors and Capacitors...
First up are the resistors. The resistors are all individually labeled so it is easy to see what is what. If you are unsure, either use a component tester or a multimeter to test the values of the resistors. There are 22 resistors total and placing them is quick and easy. We used top down soldering on the resistors to help speed up the process of tacking things down……
