And if you can figure out the pot, you should be able to figure out how to cv it. Then you could share the schem...? I tried to figure out how to do it from studying the MiniWave schem, but the different chips are being interfaced/clocked differently, and I scratched another bald

Then a dual, triple or octal wavebank is doable in MOTM format, I think. Does anyone know what pushbuttons MOTM and Oakley use, for esthetic continuity? :) thom ----Original Message Follows---- From: sasami@... Reply-To: cgs_synth@yahoogroups.com To: cgs_synth@yahoogroups.com Sub

The Wiard Mini wave uses a pot to advance waveforms and on the fly it could get you where you are going quick. It does need a pulse but it would probably be pretty easy to get a stepped encoder to do the trick. As surplus these days really high quality components could be had. I

I didn't think you were dissing them, just telling what happened. I like the Stooges too, but it's good to know what you know, ya know? I'm not that good at electronics. How would you wire up the pot? I don't even see where to wire the switches in the schematic, now that I look.

I realise I sounded like I was dissing the stooges. I apologise if it seems so. I will continue to buy their beautiful work, including their, pcbs, panels and flat rails. The only place to get them. I think a switch or a pot (pot preferred) would be better than a push button on a

Ouch. Well, I'm going to order a couple panels from Schaeffer to see if I got it right on the design tip. Shipping is ~$22 for bad, and I've got to get quite a few, so... I'm going to get a least a Dual Psycho LFO, Oakley wavefolder, VCO and triple EG. Buy 5 of any one design and
2001-11-16 by J G Wong
The last time I ordered stooge panels it took almost four months compared to four days from shaeffer. It screwed me up so bad I had to shelve my Oakley vcos because I couldn't schedule build time, that is not cool. I paid them to drill them and they drilled them off center, Well
2001-11-16 by Larry T.
The Stooges will do anything. But the cost per panel is very high in single quantities. As the quantity goes up, the unit cost goes down. That's why I was suggesting a common panel design for some of Ken's PCB's, and then get a group to order so we could make then affordable if w

How much do they charge for shipping? Are you in the US? I think the Stooge panels look better, from the pics. Larry/Gino: Will the Stooges do anything you design or do they just do limited runs of Dark Star designs, for example? ----Original Message Follows---- From: J G Wong ad

I don't have any of my designs done yet. I have an Oakley TB3030M, and it's nice. It's dark bronze. The pictures are on his site; all his stuff is done by Schaeffer. When I finally order my stuff (I'm broke right now -- panels for me or presents for others -- it's an annual quand

Thom Do you have any way of taking a picture of a couple of your Schaffer panels and posting them? Maybe you could do a color scan of them? I have not seen any of their completed work (that I am aware of). I believe that you can post to the Photos section. Larry --- In cgs_synth@

2u Schaeffers are about 55dm -- so about $27, not including shipping. No minimum order. If you order 5-9, it's 10% off. -20 is 20% off, and -30 (in case you want a _lot_ of psychos!) is 30% off. They're actually engraved and inked, not printed. I just did a 5u Serge-style layout,
2001-11-13 by Larry
What do the Schaeffers cost? And what is the minimum order quantity? As for the Stooges, cooould beeee. It's a shame that this kind of fab work is so expensive. Tom at EFM is looking into a printed vinyl self adhesive overlay for his modules, and he might, just might, be interest
2001-11-13 by Thom Somneevich
I don't think Schaeffers look _exactly_ like MOTM, but the same as Oakley (I started the panels from modifying his VCO file), which is good enough for me. But I'd be interested in going in on a run nonetheless. Seems like Schaeffers cost about the same, but shipping from Germany

2001-11-12 by Larry T.
In order to protect the guilty, I was looking at working with some folks that are already doing custom MOTM panels. Then can do panels for anyone, but do not wish to create conflicts with the actual MOTM product line (very wise on their part I think). They normally do not drill t

Who are you going to use for the frontpanels? I like the idea of using Schaeffer because I know the software and don't have to worry about cutting the metal and getting the mounting holes right on, but it seems kind of wasteful to ship it all the way from Germany. If you have som

I think it is a good idea. At the time the form factor of the MOTM modules was being discussed, I was also looking at what form factor to make my own modules, and was involved in the discussion with Paul, along with other SDIY members. I came to a descision before Paul, and chose

2001-10-14 by sasami@blaze.net.au
My gate sequencer prototype tends to start off with two outputs high when first powered. Sending a reset signal cures this, so it isn't really a concern. Automatic resetting on power up can be achieved by soldering a 100n capacitor between the switched contact of the Disable jack

I don't like the idea of using pots to hold the PCB to the panel. If you move the modular around, for gigs or whatever, enough jarring can cause solder joints to break. Repaired many amps where this was the case. Romeo ----- Original Message ----- From: sasami@... To: cgs_synth@y
2001-10-02 by R.Fahl
That usually means that a screw is cast onto the back of the panel. That's how MOTM panels are done. Personally, I don't think it harms the look of the panel to have screws visible, but that's me. Romeo ----- Original Message ----- From: ltroth@... To: cgs_synth@yahoogroups.com S
