I'm burning-in several of Ken's Gated Comparators tonight, and I must say that a total pleasure they are to play with! (also with the lights dimmed-down, the music they're making is quite hypnotic along with all of the dazzling LEDS)! (Thanks Ken) Cynthia

Hi Group, Sorry for the cross-posting, but I'm going to be doing another Schaeffer order if you're around the States, and want to go in on it. You can see the designs at the motmpanels group; hopefully they will all be up this weekend. You'll need to be admitted to the group; I'm

I've been thinking about what sections (or all) of Ken's master divider that I would like to use. From those of you that have built a master divider module, I'd appreciate hearing/seeing (a front panel view?) how you constructed your module. Which sections have you found "most" u

Hopefully within the month. It depends on when the boards are ready. I've sent the artwork to the fellow I share panels with, so it depends on him. Ken >Ken, > >When will the VCF and ASR be available? > >R> _______________________________________________________________________ K

I just uploaded a zip file with a set of panel layouts for the Psycho LFO, Wave Mult, VC Divider, Burste Generator, Gated Comparator, and Gate to Trigger. These are laid out in "semi-modular" fashion on 19" 1U panels. Bananas are used for patching, and all patch points are on the

I'm starting on my parts list for the Wave Multiplier, but not having an easy time finding an LM3080. Mouser in the USA has an NTE996 that comes up when I search for a LM3080. Will the NTE996 work as a sub for the LM3080? Is there another sub for the LM3080 that some one can reco

Those holes were for an "emergency" spike suppression capacitor if I found it needed one in that part of the circuit. It ran fine without it, so you can leave it out. The cap would have been around 10 to 20 pF if it had been used. Ken >Hey Ken - > >There's a spot for a component
2002-08-29 by jamosss
Hey Ken - There's a spot for a component along the bottom edge of the VC divider board.. below the LM358. Looks to be the right size for a .01 cap, but it's unlabeled and does not show on the schematic. What are those holes for?

Hi group, I got my gated comparator going, and it is a very very fun module, and the led's are real pretty too :) I used 2n3904's on the board by putting them in backwards, and it runs great, so it seems they are a confirmed replacement for the BC547, as long as you put them in t

Most of the out-of stock boards are back in stock. I have mailed people who missed out on the wave folder last time. Once these people have had their chance of refusal, I will put the remainder on general sale. Ken _________________________________________________________________

The most likely problem is the switches themselves, or your wiring to them. Make sure you haven't got any wires swapped. If both tri and square are very weak, it can't be the TL072 used for the triangle buffering. If all other oscillators are loud enough, it can't be the TL072 us

Hi Jim, Anything will work, really, thanks to Ken's nice boards. He's the only one I know of who allows for either vertical or horizontal single-turn trims, or two kinds of multi-turn leg spacings. What a guy :) I use unicornelectronics.com for inexpensive Bourns 25-turns, and I

Can anyone suggest a source or part number for the trim pots used on the CGS boards? Just ordered a bag of parts from Jameco for the boards, and began soldering the Analogic tonight. It's been a long time since I did any PC board building. I gotta say, this is getting to be prett

They are reversed. Just put them in backwards. You can do a search for the respective datasheets to put yourself at ease. I'm pretty sure I used those in my Burst Generator, and it works great. (The rotary switch is pcb-mounted, and it's kind of a nightmare behind the panel, othe

The triangle waves will sound quieter as the upper harmonics are somewhat muted compared to tose of the square wave, but when these oscillators are set to square wave, thet should be as loud as the others. The glide is really for use when the unit is running in LFO mode, but yes,
2002-08-07 by synth_dg
Just finished the Digital Noise and Super Psycho LFO and have been having a lot of fun with them. My only troubles are with the LFO--it works fine except that the oscillators that can be switched to triangle waves are extremely quiet. The glide knob seems to act like a low pass f

There is a modification needed on the Master divider PCBs: A 1N4148 diode needs to be wired between 0 volts (anode) and the junction of the 10n and 47k resistor associated with the RESET input (cathode). Yes, it's the same as the mod needed on the gate sequencer. Ken ____________

2002-07-27 by sasami@hotkey.net.au
That will happen with the tri/square switch. Best to set it to square when you disable the oscillator. Why? because the triangle is taken from the opposite end of the same inverter as the square wave. When disabled, one end of the inverter is high, and the other is low. Ken >Well

1 Meg would refer to linear taper. 1 Meg Log refers to audio taper. The difference is the response to position. The log pots are a lot less sensitive to movement at one end of their rotation. Other than that, they do the same job. Ken >What is the difference between a "1 Meg Log"

I did it like Ken, and my module works very well. I control my Mono/Poly's arpeggiator w/ it, and it's loads of fun. It took me a bit to learn how to use it, though. I thought 'Trigger Out' was the burst output, but 'Pulses' is. Silliness! Scott >From: sasami@... >Reply-To: cgs_s

If you look at the schematic, you will see how the pot connects up. One end goes to ground, the other end goes to the non-switched terminal of the CV jack, and the center pin (wiper) goes to the pad marked CV. The switched termianl of the jack goes to +15. Ken >I'm almost done bu
