Not quite finished yet. I built a second one some time ago, but without a Eurorack connector and with a capacitor that was too small. Accordingly, the time of the envelope was too short. Now I have a 4.7µF capacitor instead of 1µF. Let’s see how he behaves. Oh, by the way, it’s of course Sam’s AD / AR version 2.0
That’s not the final panel design either, it’s just the drilling template, the protective film is still on the plexiglass. I hope my ordered aluminum pieces will arrive soon, so that I can finally build correct and stable panels. 2mm plexiglass is definitely too thin!
I just built the Voltages and recently acquired the Mystic Circuits Switches (only to discover that, of course, there’s a DIY version). I desperately want the long out of production Worng Electronics VLPG. Maybe someday it will pop up somewhere.
4 Preamps x 4 Anti-Preamps (Trigger Delay = “x” Resistor Value - & Hairy Cap? - Different values on each “key”
Large “pads” are Preamps (+)
Small “keys” are Anti-Preamps (-)
Corresponding Banana Jack Outs above each “Key”
“Keys” are isolated to prevent triggering juxtaposed preamps/antipreamps.
“Keys” will have rubber grommets/orings on each standoff - vibrations*
“Pads” are scratch surfaces - much like the MTM Mikrophonie or Analog Output Mikrokosmos (KOSMO Format)
Exposed unconnected trace circles where the 35mm Piezo (Large key) and 18mm Piezo (Small key) may be soldered to the rear of the “key”.
Battery Clip or 12v DC Barrel Jack.
Future idea is a reversed version with shallow standoffs and a taller bottom panel for Eurorack mounting - subjective to how the triggers work - as I have never even built a preamp lol.
For those unfamiliar - Dogvoice uses these Preamps and Antipreamps housed in a slit drum to trigger the various other modules
I was staring at Mikrokosmos by @analogoutput and became inspired.
(I sent this idea off to Peter B. tonight via email )
So now Sam’s AD / AR 2.0 for the time being with a plexiglass panel and finished design and buttons and potentiometers. Today my aluminum panel blanks finally arrived, now we can really start. I’m really happy
How does the circuit handle the kosmo / eurorack voltages which are much higher than the line level inputs it was made for? Do you use pre-attenuation and post amplification?
I’ve added an attenuator for eurorack (±5V) signals to lower them to level signals the DSP 100FX can handle and a post amplifiler to get things up to euro rack signal level again. Also I’ve added a Wet/Dry pot and the possibility to feed back some of the output signal to the input / or to mix in a 2nd input signal. I will publish a schematic as soon as things are running the way I want them to.
But today, I received a humble e-mail from Peter from ciat-lonbarde giving me permission to move forward with dogvoice and dogscratch as well as my 2-roll LFO x8’s and even went as far as to extend a future trade between one another!!
Built a bunch of cables last night. How many is enough? (I suspect you can never have enough). I’m also looking forward as to how it’ll look together, wood cabinet, black panels, orange cables.
You can NEVER have enough cables. If it helps, I bought these and they are great. Much better than the ones that were with the Beatstep Pro. The plugs are nice and narrow and the nylon cables are soft. The only disadvantage is that they are only available in 1m length. But you can just make more shorter ones out of it
lol
i put this vid in my list there’s a few day
