I'll be building a Wave Multiplier soon. I was wondering about the values in the Grinder circuit and whether anyone had experimented with different parts values. Why is a 5n6 cap chosen for the lag circuit, rather than a 4n7 or 10n? -Richard Brewster

hi all, my module using the pt2395 is done. If you wanted to build it like this then about half or more of it will fit on Ken's development board (the only modifications needed are putting a few resistors and caps in the wrong holes on the PCB). look for more information, sound,

Try reducing the resistor in series with the CV control to give you more range. ALso consider taking the CCW end of the pot to -VE instead of 0V just to see what happens. That postitive envelopes don't work is a puzzle though.Must be some sort of offset involved. Ken >Hey all! >
