many thanks for these explanations 
1N400x differ only in what maximum voltage theyâll handle
The smallest spec is 1N4001 which has maximum peak repetitive reverse voltage of 35 V. So any of them can substitute for any other for a 12 V synth module.

@lookmumnocomputer another question about the pot pin, before i solder them 
Is it normal that on all potentiometers the GND is on pin 3 ? or a mistake ? it seems strange to me.
thx
I think the explanation is related to this :
A lot of Electric Druids ICs take âinvertedâ CVs (some have a pin to choose between âdirectâ and âinvertedâ CVs).
This is in fact clever, because the CV inputs almost always use an inverting OpAmp mixer, so with the âinvertedâ CVs you donât need a second inverting OpAmp to get them right again.
But, after verification, the #1153 HAS two inverting OpAmps on the inputs⊠perplexedâŠ

yes i remember, like with the VCLFO.
and i just saw in the Electric Druid schem the pins pot numbers are the same (3 to GND and 1 to +5).
thx
on the Electric D. schem, the simple One shot have no opamp at all, so Samâs schem with the 2 inverted opamp seems more logical now.
the one shot does not have inverted inputs like the VCLFO
I did it this way to reduce components, ie a negative voltage regulator etc.
I did actually design it initially the other way but the knobs felt backwards and counter intuitive.
the reason the one shot doesnât do his trick of inverted inputs (which is actually reversible on most of his designs with a reverse pin) is because the one shot was designed for an effects pedal not for modular synths, so control voltages and inverted power supplies etc arenât as common

I finished and tested it and all work fine !
after a little adventure 
only the pot pin whoâs reversed, for the Wave Form and Delay i keep it like that but change the others to increase to the right.
hereâs my stripboard layout verified

ill do a vid today focussing more on the bounce module! managed to get some good sounds and synth voices using it so ill make sure to do more vids describing these thingies!

I add a GLIDE pot /circuit after, so i made like for add the Positivizer on the Quantizer, with a backside opamp stick on the circuit
itâs the famous âDouble decker chipâ

That would be cool!!

You can hardly tell itâs stacked from that angle.

aha nice! I initially added a glide to the module but I didnât get the response I was hoping is it doing cool stuff for you???

Yes I did a quick test with the module and the Glide was effective.
I use this schem just before the Output jack

sorry I meant more a useful effect on the module. I put a glide not too dissimilar on it to give more of an average slide down however it didnât really give me the effect that I wanted so I didnt put it on the module in the end. but I meant more, are you happy with the outcome of the glide on this module in particular?
yes happy with it ! but itâ not a down glide fx itâs only a up glide
Passed the smoke test, but the D6 LED stays on when I have power applied. When I flip the momentary either way it gets just ever so slightly brighter.
Some of the control board pins seem to be shorted (the two on the resistor end, furthest away from the J1 label). Hard to tell if they are supposed to be that way, but I am guessing not.

Oh god. I had the one shot chip in backwards >.<
What are the odds I burnt it up?
Seems like it works fine. Off to the litany thread I goâŠ

ahaa!!! but is it working ok now??? fingers crossed for you!±!!

It is! Thank goodness too - I have no idea how much those things cost.
Either the chip itself is pretty robust or the circuit is just that forgiving. Yay either way!
