Farini - VC AD / ADSR

Time for me to show my next module

A voltage-controlled switchable AD AR ADSR envelope generator, in 100mm wide Kosmo format.

  • Switchable between AD and ADSR

  • Loopable

  • End Of Cycle output

  • Output can be inverted for ducking

  • When in AD mode use the trigger input

  • When in ADSR mode, use the gate input to start the envelope, the trigger input will retrigger the attach phase

  • When in cycle mode use no inputs

  • Based on the AS3310

Contained are schematics & Gerber files for PCB fabrication of both electrical and front panels. This is suitable for entry-level however a basic level of electronics, soldering, fault finding, and some basic tools are required.

I have a couple of board sets, and will consider swaps for any Kosmo module sets, I’m UK-based.

Any demo audio or video you can provide ?

Maybe I should strap my phone to my bike stand and make one, hopefully, I shall find time tomorrow.

This looks excellent! I’ve been thinking about making a module to just invert my envelope generator to make a “ducking” function, but the combination of utilities on this module is great, I’ll have to build one. Thanks!

For a very simple circuit for ducking, there 's this on

@Dud you’re an amazing resource! So much you pull out so quickly!

Thanks but I just wrote “ducking” in the forum search engine (this is the real resource here), well it’s true I knew it was somewhere because I posted it :wink: , but yes this forum is starting to contain a ton of info, thanks everyone !!!

I started fiddling with the kicad file for this and ended up attempting to make it into a euro module. I am about 75% done now so all being well, I can send it away to jlc so i can test it. If everything is cool with the OP I’ll post the kicad/gerbers to github

Nice work converting to eurorack, of course, you can post your version to GitHub, send me a link when you are done and I will add it to the documentation.

First time trying to use kicad for an actual circuit, so I won’t be surprised if it doesnt work, but I think I have learnt a fair bit about kicad in the process. Thanks for you hard work and I’ll hopefully post some good news later!

Can you let me know once you have gotten the pcbs and tested it? I’d like to get one of these for my Eurorack case too.

I don’t know how many are left, I just swapped for one.

Sorry that message was meant for Kelaifu as I was interested in the Eurorack version he is laying out in kicad. Thanks for letting me know though :slight_smile:

sure, I’ll post it to github once its finished, I’ll discuss with the OP and post either in the relevent sections here (I think we have a non-kosmo section), or over on MW. I am now on my 3rd attempt at the layout, and assuming I didnt make any stupid mistakes, it’s looking great.

@Kelaifu Let me know if you need help. I’ve worked a lot in KiCad the past year. A couple of amazing board members taught me last year and I’m happy to pay it forward. :slight_smile: I’ve also done a ton of panels for Eurorack lately if you want help with that.

Looks like there is an issue with the board’s marked v0.2 Oct 2021, where one of the pots is not connected to ground. I have updated github with revised gerbers. The schematic has remained unchanged.

For those with v0.2 boards @TimMJN @Sonosus , this issue can be solved in DIY style, where the GND connection to the pots on the top row can be connected together.
