Still might experiment with midi arduino projects though. Always been interested in that protocol.

Any updates on quad VCA release? Anyone started BOM for this?

I know, the BOM’s are what are hard for me to wait for. I am wanting to just put in a single order ahead of time for everything so I don’t keep having to pay $10 in shipping every time I order. My city is fully shutting down at 5pm today so I put in my orders at Mouser and Tayda last night for some parts I’m missing on other modules. I actually went and paused Sam’s video where he shows the VCA to at least make sure that I have enough jacks, pots, and switches, but I’m sure there will be parts that I will need for the VCA that I’m missing. I am just hoping everything gets here since after 5pm today we are not allowed to leave our homes until April 10th unless it is for food or medicine. I need something to do to keep myself sane!

You can still go to the hardware store, they have to stay open. I did my Tayda order today and now Im working on a case for my Kosmo build. Im also taking this time to clean my studio space and work shop. I was thinking about setting up a Zoom meeting and just sending you all an invite and talk shit and drink beers over soldering irons and Kosmo modules.

Doesn’t Tayda house their US stock and ship from Denver under the eBay moniker “Thaishine?” You shouldn’t be too bad if they keep that operation open. Worst case it’s two days-which is the longest I’ve ever waited for one of their “Buy it now” transactions, so I’d assume you’d be even quicker @popflier.

I didn’t know that they had an Ebay store. I’ve always just used their site, which it usually takes about 4 days to get here from Thailand. I’ll look into that, thanks for the tip!

if your looking to build the dual VCA instead. its basically the same! just half of the schematic . so if your ordering for that. just take that into account

Gosh Sam, you are acting like there’s a worldwide pandemic or something.
Does the vca use those voice chips to output waveforms? What’s they for m8?

also!!! 8 LED’s, 5 Potentiometers, 4 DPDT switches, 4 SPDT switches Also! 4 sets of Male and Female Pin headers and 13 jack sockets

So to build one of each, you’d need three 3360s, right? Just ordered those and luckily I just had loads of jacks and switches come in

ahah!!! I thought I made that very mistake!!! but the other way round. I checked twice. all good

to build the quad vca mixer you need 2. and to build a dual vca module you need 1. so 1 module needs 1 ands the other needs 2 :). 2 different types are going up on Friday! hence the possible confusion!!!
