drax phase 2 : rewire.






so i had the choice of ether rewiring the main pots or leaving them as is.. i decided to go for the money and rewire those shits to be right.. so they should go to the hinge side of the rear panel to meet up with breakaway headers that then go to the main cv channels. hopefully the extra work will be justified when i have trouble shoot this bitch. and i know i will for damn sure. theres too many unknowns withthe design right now. the poramento circuit is the only proto of it. :) like scotty rebuil;ding the enterprise.. "i wouldnt bet the farmon it captain..well scotty we dont hava choice do we. im counting on you mr scott." so anyway 2 pics are of the re wire and use of the 16 conductor ribbon, if you do anything that has wiring simular USE THIS SHIT! its fantastic. all electronics has it for very very reasonable prices. and it it well worth the price for the amount of clutter and rats nests it avoids. it tames the wild wires.
the next one after the rewire is the slide mux/de-mux chip that basicly selects between the portamento circuit and the normal circuit. this if it works should be dope. and its and incredibly simple thing. hopefully. i may be speaking too soon...after that is GATE chan B its basicly the same as the main gate section on the digital board except its seperate. and it has to tie to 2 diodes on the main board (d28-29) this adds another channel of gate to the machine. handy for many many things. envs, lfos. drums, retriggering anything. or using it as a second sequence with channel b cv.
after that is the 40106 hex inverter led buffer. it basicly buffers up the leds pulses so as to chain them and add another row of leds to whatever they come from. i like leds... so i need 2 of these guys for on here.
