Hey all, i've been building modules for a little while now, namely
some of the elby euro CGS designs, and am looking to get things a
little weirder with an exclusive CGS system. My major issue is getting
my head around much of the wiring and powering of these units. The
pcbs are excellently detailed and ken's site does provide some
explanation yet at present i can't intuit them any further. I'm
considering a suitcase design for portability (as i have little space
as it is) with roughly 9 modules enclosed and perhaps some room for
expansion or refitting. So maybe like a little modular. I'm hoping to
incorporate the following into the design:
- VCO
- Digital Noise
- VCA
- Steiner (euro format boards)
- Psycho LFO
- Utility LFO
- Sub-oscillator
- wave folder
- mixer
Possibly over-ambitious. I shouldn't have too many troubles putting
these together if i have laid out schematics and pot/jack wiring
diagrams, but my major concern is powering them together. From what i
have read, all of these modules can run on +/- 15v. Is this correct?
If not, which modules would i need to alter or remove to retain
consistency? Also, if anyone has wiring diagrams for any of these
(particularly the VCO, expanded mixer [linked on the mixer page],
wave folder and digital noise) they would be much appreciated. I'll be
sourcing a PSU and will then begin panicking about wiring them to the
supply. Are there any particular tricks to wiring these to connector
boards? It's been a long one but thanks in advance for any advice, it
is all very welcome.
