My build progress

Today another VCF (i wait for the pot order)

Splashy!
If only I’d remembered to get knobs of the right size.

For some reason it reminds me of Rick and Morty with those green leds

yeah I have been thinking on that , like putting same color knobs on the same type module . I am sure ideas will change as I use it more and move things around to were they work best .

Got that Technomancer Panel done with the help of @threetom
Had an issue with a pad last night and as a lot of us do… I proceeded to mess it up further the longer I tried to fix it., lol…


Thankfully those 3 pads are connected together beneath the soldermask lol. So I finished it up this mornin!

Why does it have two power headers?

Interconnection? Symmetry?

So you can daisy chain them, saves you some connectors on your busboard :slight_smile:

  1. I wanted something less vertical for my Pressure Points
  2. I had a small piece of walnut board
  3. I wanted something wider

So, I made some bus cheeks, lopped off some bolt heads and connected some Vector rails, and made a one row, 168HP skiff:

I was surprised by how solid the rail connection is, though I won’t necessarily keep this configuration. Mostly wanted to see how it would turn out. I am considering going this wide and adding a couple of rows, but we’ll see.

Wood’s not horrible enough

Love My Switches came through in a hurry with the knobs I’d neglected to get earlier.

Finished my Through Hole Ripples from Analog Ordnance today!



A nice dense board :smiley:

Did the 470 pF + 100 pF workaround work for you, or does it sound 1.8% off? :grinning:

Worked like a charm :slight_smile: :smiley:

Not bad progress today after most components showed up this morning. I realized I spaced ordering the voltage regulators and a couple resistors, but made pretty good progress anyway. Might wrap up the pots and LEDS in the meantime or move to the other modules.

VCLFO seems to work, still needs tuning I think.

My VCO works.

Performance VCO, had a bit of an issue with the octave select, but it seems to be working as expected but needs setting up

My clock lash up works.

My 3ch VCA works…

Everything else is not tested yet…

But need more space for the delay, and extras.

I sympathise about Tinkercad, I did my training with a engineering suite called SolidWorks. At home I use something called Cubify Design, it operates a lot like SolidWorks, but is only the drawing bit not the simulation / CFD bit. Cubify Design was around before CAD as a pay as you go service got into the home.

Megaphone bending progress. Power switch instead of trigger, input jack instead of mic, pitch resistor replaced: I don’t have any 20k pots at the moment so for now it’s a 100k pot with a 20k resistor in parallel, and then a 2k in series. I plugged a synth oscillator in for a test here (mostly I’ve been testing it with an APC), with an attenuator in between, but it needs a voltage divider on the input. Output is still direct to speaker with no volume control, or rather, the volume control consists of an upturned parts bowl. Which also serves to, erm, dim the LEDs.

They do fill up fast, don’t they? :heart_eyes:

Feedback mod on the circuit bent megaphone is pretty killer. Here I’m using an APC as the input. About 2/3 of the way through I turn off the APC and the megaphone board hardly notices, just keeps screaming along.

(Yeah, I probably should have wired the pot the other way.)
