Yeah, I’m really pleased with it, it’s so substantial and the encoders feel really nice. My Akai APC Mini feels really cheap in comparison! ---

Hmmm…is it a good thing or a bad thing when the mail man makes more than one stop at your house…on a Sunday! Funny how a bunch of orders from multiple places on multiple days can all show up at once: ![20200920_144325](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/2/27c2bb79e768a9b359a27212c9c2abb215aa2d34.jpeg) Three sizes of knobs to see how I like them. 7 digit displays for the Performance VCO’s tuner, more LM7805’s since I’m going through them quicker than anticipated. 20 more PCB mountable jacks, 2 more 12 position rotary switches, female pin headers, and epoxy dyes to try customizing my SLA resins (and of course the one color I wanted most appears to be leaking 🙄 ) Knobs let me “finish” my megadrone: ![20200920_151501](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/6/6acc5f424c42260627ea70639e2ff4448147ef20.jpeg) And sockets and header sockets should be what I need to finish my Quad VCA. Of course most of what’s holding me up isn’t expected until tomorrow’s mail call… ---

You’re going to want the big knobs on the Tune pots ---

I actually tried it the other way first with big knobs on the tune and small on the level…but found once I get the tune dialed in I don’t change it as much so having the smaller knobs on there made me less likely to knock something out of tune. But…it is VERY touchy to get in tune with the small knobs. (You’ll note the first osc still has a medium knob on it in the photo.) So I may go back to big to get more resolution. It’s definitely a lot more musical once I took the time to actually tune it in. Got a nice G major chord going on it this afternoon and it sounded great. What I found interesting was that the tuning had quite a bit of resolution - except right AT the notes I was aiming for where it it would suddenly jump on almost every note I was aiming for. But other notes I had nice smooth controlled tuning right around them. Kind of odd. The big knobs on the level to feel “too big” though so I may swap things around a bit more. ---

Another day of many packages from multiple places all ordered on different days arriving simultaneously: ![20200921_143452](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/a/a2a10f48fbefc315938fe77b4219e9f1f6dadaf1.jpeg) From the top left going clockwise: 100k pots from Mouser…though I had ordered alps pots and thought they were metal shaft with threads for mounting…such a pain to figure out the part numbers through there with them all having the same photo. Oh well, they’ll get used eventually. JFET - for trying to build a triangle to sine converter on a VCO Few switches I needed (on)-off-on and on-off-on (not sure why I ordered the on-off-on I actually had some but some how thought what I had wasn’t on-off-on…whoops.) some LDR’s to make some vactrols (I hope they’re a suitable resistance range, just amazon cheapies.) More 100k pots - from Small bear (which are the style I thought I had ordered from Mouser) 12mm push buttons for the gate grinder and other things. More switches, just on-off-on’s since I’m going through them so fast (but cheapies from Amazon) 10k and 100k pots from @popflier Resistors I’m going through rather quickly and picked up from Mouser since I was getting things I could only get from mouser. Votlage reference for the Performance VCO. That should let me finish a few mostly completed modules! ---
