Grew up playing flute, whistles, fiddle and guitar. I have many piper friends both highland and ullian. Plotted out a simple drone and 555 chanter for making (on my list)

Is it just me or is pitch to cv so much less faff than pitch to MIDI? This is a cool project.

Another dozen patch cords, and some 3046 and 3096 IC’s for Yusynths EMS filter.
All three packages bought from different ebay sellers on different days but all arrived together today, nice!
Though…I now realize that I etched the “discrete” board for the EMS filter that uses hand matched transistors instead of the 3096. Guess I’ll have to etch the other version. Anyone want the discrete version? And now that I look more closely at the BOM I realize there are a few other bits I’ll need to order. The real kicker…I just placed an order with Tayda last night and looked over boards in the works for parts I may need. For some reason I thought I had already ordered everything I needed for this one. Oh well, I’m not on a deadline or anything

Nothing like sending out an order to Tayda and then an hour or so later discovering that while your spreadsheet says you have 22 2N5817s, in fact you have 4. I mean, I try to keep track, but obviously I don’t fully succeed.
So these arrived from an eBay vendor (before the Tayda order did).
I have a certain amount of skepticism as to whether they’re genuine or not. But they do seem to be diodes, and I measure about 170 mV forward voltage, so they’re probably okay for power reversal protection at least.

BCF2000. A very versatile MIDI control surface with eight motorized faders, eight rotary button encoders and a respectable number of buttons.
I got this second hand from an eBay listing.

Capture nut tool. (As discovered here. Thank-you)
Piezo resonators (top secret project stuff)
Pins for test points on boards. (Less faff)
100 uncoated, wafer thin, super fragile, cheap photo voltaic sheets (you can never have enough)
Best to all

They’re just old stock Motorola. The 1N5817’s I get from Anchor Electronics look exactly like that.

Are they marked “1N5817”? These aren’t.
