I'm working on one now. I'll post a bunch of pictures once it's
completed. I'm still deciding about the pots to use. I think I'll use
good-quality ones (Spectrol 149 or 249) since precision is important
(for pitch). However, this thing is going to be awesome once Paul
finishes his quantizer.
My notes so far on the CGS switch and Bridechamber panel:
- There's no easy way to mount a bracket. I'm going to mount it behind
the switches, but it required some work to the bracket
- There are no LEDs on the panel. I had to drill holes for those
- There's a slight typo on the panel (inverted output).
- CGS projects don't have the best documentation, you need to dig into
it a bit. This definitely isn't a beginner's kit. For example, the
methods for hooking up pitch knobs and a length switch aren't in the
schematic but mentioned in the text.
- You'll need something to clock the sequencer from. You can use an
LFO or VCO but this isn't ideal. There isn't a DIY clock module for
MOTM that I'm aware of. The only one I'm aware of is the Modcan, which
seems expensive for what it is. I have schematics and a board layout
for a clock module from an old book. It's nice because there's a
button that lets you step through (sends one pulse) to tune your
sequence one by one. This will probably be my next project.
I'm actually building two sequencers. We'll see how they turn out.
