Knowing how these work, i dont know why i dont see the design with the solder jumpers all over the place. That seems ideal.

Haha! for some reason it kind of reminds me of Mr.Poopy-Buttholes lost brother who is into bondage/gimp masks.
Todays build goal: Change my trim pot on the 3340 to a proper multi-turn 10k trim and have a go of tuning it properly. and while its all hooked up im gonna compare the voltages to that annotated 3340 image.
Simple goals… but its to hot today!!
Not build goal: Play with the free DAW’s i DL’d like a week ago and havent touched yet XD

One thing i learned here is that there is a general term for it. Is it still a legit deadbug with the 8 pin socket?
Trigger Converter for the Yamaha CS-5 which has -7V = on, +3V = off

Congratulations are due to you, oh inventor of the socketed dead bug.

Can’t help feeling sorry for that poor unused half of your tl072. Do you have a use for a second trigger convertor perhaps?

Kinda looks like a Martian vessel in HG-Wells’ War of the Worlds.

not far off myself… but up sold all my keyboards, which makes testing problematic

In robotics circles many call deadbug with a socket "huskies " or "husking ". I call it common sense

I finally finished the speaker/amp thingy I mentioned some time ago. I fixed up a broken belt Marshal amp things, gutted it, hooked up some salvaged speakers from a broken Yamaha keyboard (that I fried hehehe) and built a case around it. The back is open so I can stuff in a proper surge protector that powers the amp and both cases above it.
The amp has some nice distortion and can quickly warm up or blast a sound.

I have the remains of a Rodgers organ ( it’s actualy a Roland KR-55 Piano in a 4king heavy encolsure) which the soundboard is still intact with a pair of 6" Drivers… I have a little stereo amp board on the desk. Could be a nice match

This looks nice. If you add a keyboard to the case it starts to look like Nemo’s organ.
I assume you are familiar with this, but anyway. Have you connected the loudspeakers such that they are in phase? If not some of the low frequencies may cancel each other out.

Thanks! I love it so far. Especially routing the signal back in to the Quad VCA mix or even just to my main mixer for some nice fuzzy distortion. The speakers also run off a 9V battery so if I ever work out a way to power the Kosmo cases with a battery, it could be “portable.”
@Jos they are not in phase. It never occurred to me. Looks like it’s as simple as flipping the wires on one of the speakers. Will definitely do that. The bass seems pretty good already, but it certainly couldn’t hurt to try it. Thanks for the idea!
It also occurred to me that if I had put a little more space between the speaker and the controls that I could maybe mount my BSP to the panel. Maybe after I build a better stand, I’ll consider a V2.

I remember being stood in our local “expensive” Hi-Fi shop listening to an out of phase setup.

Soldering - check
Wiring - check
Screw up the panel drilling - check
To do: Cut a new panel, drill new holes, print out the layout and the MS20 filter is ready
Oh yes … first the function test … keep your fingers crossed for me

I dont know how much it counts as ‘Build’ progress but a plan is forming.
I’m designing in blender so i dont mess up so much when i actually get to making my case/s
It was going to just be a single row, but i like the look of the 1U at the bottom and i can throw in some simple modules there (mult’s etc)
And the big boy ‘dream’ case.
A row of Kosmo, A row of Euro, A row of my printed and a 1U with space for the BS Pro under it
A bit ambitious since im still a diy noobie, but i havent even touched on drum modules yet. so…
