In this video I look at the modifications I made to the Korg NTS-1 synthesizer I built in the last video to allow it to be mounted as a Eurorack module. Once the NTS-1 is in place then I can get started on the real subject of these set of videos, making an Orange PI Zero based Midi controller.

00:00 Introduction
00:41 Creating the Eurorack front panel design for the NTS-1 in Fusion 360
01:58 3D test prints of the NTS-1 front panel
04:34: Designing the NTS-1 rear panel in Fusion 360
06:08 Test fitting the Eurorack front panel.
07:09 Creating a power connector from the Eurorack 16 pin power bus to the USB connection on the NTS-1
08:30 I want the final Eurorack panel to be made from aluminum, so once I was satisfied with the prototypes I created in Fusion 360 I created a DFX file to send to sendCutSend to make the panel. Note: I used LibraCad (Free!) to remove the construction lines in the dfx file.
09:55 I completed the wiring (I used some short right angled stereo 3.5mm jacks as the basis for this), and tested everything worked in my Eurorack case.
11:52 I checked out the Midi connector worked as well
12:17 NTS-1 midi chart – note the ability to control all the NTS-1 sound parameters from midi, this will be a useful capability when I create my midi controller, in theory I can save/set the NTS-1 voices from the controller, before playing notes.
12:28 Adding labels to the 3d printed face plate (Testing layout and labeling method)
14:39 The aluminum face plates arrived form sendCutSend, I add labels and attach the NTS -1.
17:57 Testing the NTS-1 eurorack module.
