QICBoard

Solderless build system for audio experimenting.  it's a hybrid offering the convenience of solderless breadboards, matched with robust "QICBoards" which include common connectors and controls, as well as subsystems like CV DACs, mixers, etc.

There are 4 QICBase boards – two for smaller protoboards, and two for larger ones.

Here's an example of a smaller QICBase board hosting an Atari Punk Console:

For this example, the QICBoards provide three 1/8" jacks and three potentiometers.

This QICbase is designed to fit onto a Hammond 1590BB enclosure (without the cover):

It takes 15V from a desktop supply and generates +/-12V and +5V for the breadboard and QICBoards.

More details under Demo 1.

Here's a 34-HP EuroRack QICBase running a classic VCO/VCF/VCA synth set, with an additional set of paddles to generate control voltages:

These use redesigned Cabintech CEfx modules for the VCO/VCF/VCA.  The paddles have magnets glued to them.  Hall sensors beneath the magnets generate control voltages which can be tweaked with attenuverters, then used to control the synth modules.

More details under Demo 2.

Here's an "a la carte" Ornament and Crime:

QICboards allow you to only install the hardware you need, in this case a D/A converter and a trigger input module, along with an O&C-compatible user interface boardset.

This one is a portable wavetable synthesizer using the Adafruit Feather M4, built on a QICBase_DD, which fits onto a Hammond enclosure:

This setup provides plenty of room to experiment with user interfaces and post-processors.
