MOTM

hello all,

there was a question raised a while ago about stripboard magic (a program
for laying out circuits onto stripboard)
well, i have a copy coming in the post - unfortunately it's around 30Mb
if there are only a couple out there wanting a copy (you just can't buy it
anywhere, believe me i've tried) i'm perfectly willing to burn a few cds
off, if there's a ton of you then i'd prefer to employ the chain method

cheers

ps - it turns out that the sean bean / doctor who story was just wild
tabloid fantasy

What is a stripboard? Is that like a solderless proto-board...?

Now, I'm just a colonial who doesn't know how to spell "humour", but 
didn't you say that you knew this sean bean chap personally?

Wasn't there a notorious 17th-18th century English highwayman 
named "Sawney Bean", who waylaid travellers, robbed and ate them, 
then raised an extended family of cannibals by interbreeding with his 
offspring?

My question is: is this chap in any way related, and are you at all 
nervous? ;>)

OK, I did some research, and I was a little off. It was in 13th-14th 
century Scotland that good old Sawney and his brood lived.

England, Scotland - close enough, right? <LOL>

Well, I live very close to the border on the English side, and its truly
bizarre how the spoken accent changes when crossing from one side to the
other. Even in families that have lived in their repective areas for
years, the difference is very acute.

But then my London accent is completely alien up here too... "you're not
from round 'ere, are yer laddie?"

I would like a copy.  I have a CD burner.  I will be happy to burn and send
to others.
Thanks,
Larry

hello all,
stripboard turned up this morning - it looks like it does all the things
you'd expect, but the layout isn't as automatic it seems - you move the
component around, and it tells you whether it's correct or not - but i could
be wrong

anyway, larry - email me your address and i'll bung a copy in the post over
the weekend

cheers

hello all,

i'll keep this onlist just to confirm matters to the masses,

stripboard magic is PC based, needs around 30Mb disk space
the software house (Ambyr) no longer trades, and you'll be luck to find even
a reference to it on the internet, let alone a copy for sale - so there are
no toes to be trod on, probably)
stripboard (i thought this stuff was universal) is a kind of breadboard with
copper strips down one face, and holes - as normal - it's supposed to be
easier than sitting with a piece of proto board and having to hand wire all
the component links. the software can take a schematic (you have to input it
manually) and automatically configure it to stripboard
unfortunately the schematic side of things is a pain in the arse...

Larry (Hendry) has kindly offered to forward some copies in the USofA

Norman F - if you are UK based, i'll chuck a copy in the post
Barry S - same with yourself, if you're US based, then let me know and i'll
send you one anyway (all i want in return is the cheapest ring binder (three
rings - like for the motm manual) sent by the cheapest post - you just can't
get them in the UK)
Everyone else US based, please ask your uncle larry nicely / arrange a chain

talking of feeble patches - i just got my second VCO calibrated, and have
discovered the joy of hard sync, and the true power of the #110 ring mod -
yummy...

cheers

Send any copy requests in the USA to me.  As soon as I get my copy from
Paul, Uncle Larry will be happy to burn to CDRs and distribute stateside to
save the terrible USA / UK postage rates.

Paul, for some hard sync magic, run one of your EG outputs to the FM of the
300 being forced to sync.  You can get a sweeping sync that will bring you
to tears if you like such things.

been there, done that - it was one of the first things that crossed my
warped mind after i realised i'd got the vcos in sync, i was aiming for a
tremolo / vibrato effect (ontop of heaps of pwm) but needed an extra vca -
and i already had pressed the ring mod into action for that purpose

thanks for the tip anyway - it's simple (or should that read feeble) little
patches like these that make my heart sing, which is ultimately what having
this modular is all about (oh yes, and tax reasons...)

now i *really* need that Roland 184 keyboard and lots lots lots more vcos
