MOTM

The current design of the '410 filter has the LFO ouputs running "in
parallel" to all
three filters. They are equally summed, so there is a MASTER depth, but no
individual DEPTH. All filters move the same amount (they just have different
center freqs).

PROPOSAL (this will make Dave happy!)

Go to a 3U wide.

Replace the LFO DEPTH pot with 3 individual DEPTH pots.

Add 3 LEDs. The LEDs are analog. The brighter they glow, the higher that
associated bandpass filter frequency is (no bitching if this seems
"backwards". )
The LEDs would pulsate at that filter's LFO rate. (in German: "Das Lites
gablinky!")

Add LFO OUT jack for other module fun.

Added kit cost $30-$40. We are now in the $229 kit arena.

Another way: 3 slightly different summing resitotors (narrow, mediium, wide
sweep). Free.

Well?

Hell, its modular.  Load it up and go for the extra features.  However, I
would buy either one (since it will be 2 years into the MOTM expereince
since I know anything anyhow). <g>

BTW, I finally got started on the oscillators.  I am building both at the
same time, so I am still in the resistor stage.  Based on available time
and rate of progress, I will be middle of next week I suspect (unless I
just totally ignore the 10" tall grass).

Where was that resistor print error in the instructions?  I have not found
it yet.

Definitely!

Hmmm, I thought we already added this. Remember, to get synchronized stereo
panning externally, this jack is required. It's already on the mocked up
image, anyway!

That's a bargain for 3 more pots and lights.

I could go with this option also, I just want the gablinky lights!

Yes! I would by this over the previous proposal.

I'll vote for the 3 space 410 unit also.

I like the additional control options, and, of course the LED's.

Hows about a rotary switch for the "single/dual/dual-rev" switch.  It may
balance out the real estate.


Blink away brothers!

Hi Paul n All !

Go for 3u, add 3 jacks that break each lfo->depth control .  Since 
the lfo has an out, combining this with an envelope and reinjecting 
it could be fun .  Without global FM in this would make fixed 
bandpass possible, giving a triple resonator :)

Also add resonance CV jack and depth control, not original, but hey 
(if technically possible :) )

Bye .


Keep 'em oscilating :)
