There’s dipping your toes in the water and then there’s running in screaming with your arms flailing about. I’m doing the latter.
I’m diving in head first into this and I figured instead of stumbling around in the dark and banging my toes on everything. I would just come here, try to use search, not find exactly what I need, and then make a post. Hello feel free to yell at me!
I’ve done a bit of research on this after deciding I needed to build this. STUFF - LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER
CEM3340’s are cost prohibitive, AS3340’s can be bought in bulk for 1/3 the price. So good, neat! Did a bit more research found people were having issues with it, and well I feel like I done gone smacked the hornets nest. I have no clue where to go too from this point.
I am looking at varying designs and trying to figure out which one gives the best ‘bang’ for your buck, before I start doing BOMs.
Here is one such design I found.
(but looking at the comments people are having difficulties powering it with 12 volts?)
I’ll admit I’m out of my element, but I’m willing to learn and I’m committed to seeing this through.
I figured since this is well treaded ground it would be wise to tap into the collective knowledge that is available.
Some things that might be worthy to note.
I am in the USA.
1v per Octave is important to me as I do have a lovely Arturia mkII 88 Keylab that does CV out with 1v/Octave. So tuning seems like it might be important to my use case? Once again feel free to yell at me if I am incorrect.
I don’t have a lot of financial resources, so it needs to be affordable, and I am determined to build it myself. (hence why I am seeing what design I want to go with before I build it, also why else would I post into the DIY stuff if I didn’t want to DIY!?)
Hope to hear from y’all, and gain good insight!
