Welcome to the Oakley Modular page, home of the Oakley Modular System since 1999. Here you will find all of our current projects and some of our older ones too. These build it yourself electronic projects are designed by Tony Allgood of Oakley Sound Systems. PCBs and parts are now available for purchase through Oakley Modular via this website.
These modules are primarily designed for the 5U module system as originally defined by the Synthtech MOTM modular. As such they are fully compatible with MOTM and other MOTM compatible modules. They are also suitable for fitting in Synthesizers.com systems, and with a bit of imagination you can get them to work with the smaller formats too.
Ready made modules can be obtained from Paul Darlow at Krisp1. For bespoke wooden cases contact Jeff Toman at Custom Synth
For technical support on all Oakley projects please refer to the knowledgeable and helpful group on the Oakley Synths Yahoo group. Tony Allgood at Oakley Sound Systems can no longer provide direct support for Oakley projects.

The Legacy Modules
The 'legacy modules' are the from the older original series of Oakley Sound designs that we are unlikely to be offering again. However, a new version of the midiDAC and Wavefolder are being considered for release in 2008.
midiDAC3 midi to CV convertor
Octal Resonator Eight channel 'filter bank'
polyDAC Four channel midi-CV convertor
WaveFolder A VC waveshaper for Modular Synthesisers
VC-Mixer Voltage controlled Mixer
A sidelong glance at Jarrelook's modular synthesiser built from Oakley Sound modules. They have used the smaller K knobs and used increments on all the pot positions. The case has been built by Mark Smith and the panels have been made by Scheaffer.
