Welcome to my website !
My name is Jean-Pierre Desrochers.
I live in the Quebec City vicinity, Province of Quebec, Canada.
I'm a technician in electronics working in this domain since 1975.
I'm specialized in electronic musical instruments repair.
I'm also a guitar player since the age of 14.
Over the last years I've been working on many projects,
mostly music synthesis and antique stuff restorations.
Here you will find most of my early and late projects with all their
specific detailed files and pictures. Some of these projects are
based around Microchip PIC micro-processors and all the
needed software files are 'open source' so they are
ready to be downloaded for free. This includes all the printed circuit
board's layouts in PDF format. I also include some of the project's front panel layouts too.
Being a musician I accumulated many live recordings
of my rock & blues bands. I also made some music compositions
that are available for listening in the MUSIC section.
Finaly over the last years I enjoyed restoring antique radios
and vintage music instruments including electric guitar amps,
Hammnond organs & Leslie cabinets.
So have a look at my mixed world...
