My build progress

I built a desktop guitar pedal that required a key once! Went for a very military look and feel

Awww yeah. Got one of these recently and have been dying to try out the modal libraries. Will let you know when I try it out. Havenā€™t even plugged it in yet ha.

Been fascinated by this VCO. Itā€™s got so many features, Iā€™m really interested to see how the analog TZPM differs from the TZFM. Not sure that Iā€™ve ever seen analog phase modulation before this VCO.

Whats it do? whats a Young Priest, how old do I have to be to qualify as an old priest?

Well, I might as wellā€¦

Calling it ā€œXORCISTā€ - a VCO/Drone/XOR/Distortion/Ringmod thing. Two internal 40106s square waves, young priest and old priest, with a (non-v/oct) pitch input into a 4070 XOR, but then two switches and two external inputs so you can either use the internal drone or external sounds.

Getting to name stuff is a rare and proud day xor not.
I look forward to hearing it in action.

The thing I was working on that was alarmingly similar to your description, I decided a week or two ago not to pursue further ā€” itā€™d deviated too far from my original concept. I took some of the core ideas and pushed them in a different direction instead. Which I may or may not pursue further. If I do itā€™ll still have some things in common with yours but different enough that both could coexist in the same case without getting into fights.

Looking forward to the companion module ā€œ&ROMEDAā€

:exploding_head: OMG you built those SO FAST!! I was going to message you when you initially started this and offer to help you build some of the modules, but clearly I do not think that you need my assistance at all. LOL If that changes and you want help let me know :slight_smile:

That thing is awesome! BTW my birthday was in May :wink:

Honestly, itā€™s all about finding efficiencies and having the factory do as much as possible before I even start. For the filter, I got it down to just the panel components. That means I can do a module in about 10 minutes, so thatā€™s about 17 hours of build time for a batch of 100. Add a little for packaging, and it doesnā€™t really add up to more than 20 hours of pure building and packaging. Now, I do also have a full time job, so itā€™s not like I just bang them all out in three days, and Iā€™m also building another batch of the oscillator at the same time. But for now I can manage.

Hmm, fancy footwork to put a box header on a terminal block footprint!

Why the jumper in place of R2? Iā€™m trying to figure out how it can even work that way.

Itā€™s a surface mount 13k :grinning:. Close up of the box header and the resistor:
