My build progress

I used sockets and I copied your values! :sweat_smile:

Sounds badass

Today I drilled some panels and designed layouts for them. I also wired @EddyBergman Ā“s Noise module but haven’t tested it yet. I’ll do that tomorrow and cover the panels with labeled film. Meanwhile, I heard radio plays by Ghostbuster John Sinclair and Jan Tenner :slight_smile:

As always, the panel size is Eurorack. I am not allowed to start with Kosmo format because I know that I will then not build anything else and that soon there will be no more space in my apartment :crazy_face: :roll_eyes: :grimacing:

So get a bigger apartment, I don’t see the problem here

Looks good in green.

Or get creative, I’ve been looking around, there is a lot of unused real estate on the ceilings

Ahhh…you used SMD resistors/capacitors? Is that what I’m seeing? That’s very smart. I was looking at the BOM’s and then the boards and thinking how small the parts would need to be. I had been looking at ordering smaller resistors, but I like the idea of just doing SMD for them. Which size did you use?

I saw you built a Peaks as well. I just finished designing a Eurorack panel for it and submitting the order along with 2 different updated Clouds panels. I think next on my list for design are Elements and Tides, but I will still need to design about 6 more panels after those.

The ā€œJam tableā€ solution:

Or you could use standard size resistors mounted vertically.

Yeah, I wanted to try SMD resistors in stead of mounting them upright. It was suggested in the build document. I used 0805, but you could easily go up or down a size. It looks neat, compared to the Bassline I’m building with regular ¼W THT:

well now that makes me want to try to build it smd style lol.
I looked at that board yesterday and put it back in the bag and slid it away from me…
effin dense… lol

I thought about that but these particular boards are so dense with parts that I think I personally would have a really hard time making sure that I don’t have a part accidentally touching another part. If it were me designing these boards I would have stacked 2 instead of had one that is so congested.

@analogoutput After that I googled but didn’t find anything, I know Murphy’s law but that’s different I think :slight_smile: Whereby, if Kristian Blasol’s ā€œjam tableā€ suggested by @juggle is not properly attached, then it could happen that murphys law happens … lets hope it will not! BTW … SUCCESS, we have a new first time worker. @EddyBergman Ā“s Noise Module works like a charm. The grainy noise is awesome !! When its complete, I will post again pictures of the whole construction process but first i have to label the panel. Thanks again to Eddy, his layouts are great!

Small intermediate update: I wanted to make a little change and put Eddy’s name on the adhesive film. But of course I didn’t consider that I always make them a little bigger so that I still have some leeway to position. And of course his name was put too far down. Now you can only see the top half … :frowning:

I’m so happy to hear that! How about the Highpass Grainy Noise? Is it softer in volume than the rest?

  • Uff * I haven’t tested that yet, just plugged it in for a short time and more or less tested whether something was coming out everywhere, but the grainy noise immediately won my heart and I’m really looking forward to playing with it!

As said elsewhere get a bigger apartment, of better still start experimenting with hanging modules from the ceiling. I’ve seen many studio layouts in pictures I found on the net but never saw that anybody used that bit of space. This is unexplored territory, so it requires a daring attitude, but imagine your curved rack starting on your desk stretching upwards and continuing on the ceiling. You can then turn knobs and flick switches like in a cockpit of a jumbo jet !

I’m honored you put my name on the panel even if it’s only half of it haha. That’s awesome :slight_smile:

I got two karaoke delays in the post.

The 1/4" jacks are off and the eurorack header is in. All that’s left is the panel, jacks and two vactrols.

Out of interest - any one got any ideas on how to wire two around the back to create a double delay - series and parallel.

I’m not familar with double delay lines - so a conceptual outline was be just welcome as solder and wire advice

Desolder this piece as well as it will be replaced with a 10 pin power shrouded header. You will also be removing all but 3 pins of the header so that it will sit flush with the 2399 board and allow power to be displaced appropriately.

Gaaah. Hope it’s not drawing a lot of current.

Thanks Rich,

I had a five pin header spare but you’re right - I should replace it with a 10 pin flush to the board.

I didn’t think that leaving the extra pins would be an issue. Thanks for pointing that out. What’s the problem?

I’ll have to google how to measure current draw too.
