HARSH raw and its own animal.. i loved it immediately, so i set about to build another that had modifications.. cv ins for all the potentiometer controls! ... then i discovered the SHRUTHI-1. woah. what a beast of an engine! basicly a mono voice ppg of sorts with selectable filter cards . all that you build. im in.. so i set about doing desighns and ordering parts... measuring, testing.. etc. heres some pics of updates and such. both ended up being 3 u rack units since its the most efficient space wise and to make the easy of assembly work in my advantage.<br /><br />so for the "monowave" the shruthi, i had to design a switching circuit that allowed multiple parallel lines to be switched in unison to utilize the multi filter card set up with no physical switching. enter CD 4052 CMOS IC. 4-1 switcher. love it. i had to proto a switching circuit.. man it was like a science experiment! but alot of fun to figure it all out direct from the chip spec sheet. so after that was done i could go ahead with implementation and build.. im using a greeen over sized OLED for the display as well so its easy to read and edit. im also using recycled MAC keyboard switches for all buttons/switches. i really want to make look as much like a ppg as i can! so..<br /><br />on the meeblip i went straight for the old roland SH series in design.. they were some of the best looking machines ever! so...synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-79953352092151474352012-02-06T20:21:00.000-08:002012-02-06T20:37:09.031-08:00the light..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgh9_WPKoFsmnFscTRYg0_gPGM6rkR6pEZNzAOyMcbWVUcUd5PP8j7ai1KwZ7TxV4jbVVcdplTABghF-uC3DbYgvXzqwgh4-S_G82Ua6ZIp3bzEcfOGsQsqbbVTQLCQhyux67GuFGwz-Q/s1600/mono+twins+and+me.jpg"><img style="float: left;

MAN THEY SOUND DOEPFER! ha. seriously the sound exactly as i had hoped. its actually sort of better than an ms since i can use them in any configuration of oscs and filters i need to. or as seperate units even. i still have to figure out why the 3rd env on the new on is slightly funky.. cold solder joints i think. i didnt have a ton of time to ferret out things .. just the initial first test. made it about 93% of the way.. not too bad at all! things never work right out of the gate. those moments are gifts from above!:) anyway heres some pics.. ill put up some vids later on this week. i tried running a simple 8 step sequence off the sequencer (1 pitch 1 filter A one filter B) rows of cv.. man was it FUUUUUUUUCKING sweet. like an ms with the ASQ10. but even more flexable...synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-16982350159709463182012-01-28T20:04:00.000-08:002012-01-28T20:34:22.700-08:00over the edge...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKkWlRDwDiiGKtIllOSyAvWuVwjD2b0nTY7BeXcD8aFKL322uWqgLom7cPaiWpu0wCHRwCQRSnkiGFW8tLOictGb4Uuh3QvHeILIzUiuJO8ksrVZOhyphenhyphenIm3BAUovgkPjDOYRvEK3955O8/s1600/meeblip+5.jpg"><img style="float: left;

<br />heres the poly 6 as i recieved it. its pretty beat. no power connection . its been cut off and stripped (frightening) . so with that guy we're pretty much starting at zero. i spliced a quick poer cord on.. it powered up. no smoke and alot of ill behaviour though. upon a quick initial inspection i found : battery is not exploded (good) . several corrosive spots on pcbs from previous soda spills (bad) general oxidation of traces (bad) alot of free floating objects ( 4 pennies, 3 screws) inside (that could cause shorts it in contact with the WRONG things.. (VERY BAD) . so lets say that i'll start with a serious bath for all those pcbs in some iso alcohol and high pressure air to blow them dry. then deoxit all the connectors. remove the battery and maybe put in a coin cell if i can get it running. not to mention installing an IEC socket for the power cord. what a fuckin mess. i have a feeling this may be a "ill buy it for parts" kinda repair job for me. it might not make it back from the grave. it depends on how much the client is willing to spend on her. shes time intensive for sure. mine was.
<br />if you notice the serious grime on it from the pic of the single wipe of tissue with iso on it. wow. mad grime. then you can se the clean spot that was made when i swiped it.. nasty shit. so we'll see if i can get it running then maybe made a little nicer looking after her hearts beating..:)

<br />so the benches are seriously full: no vacancy. im knee deep into the ARP ody redo, which is about 3 projects in itself. ( the ody and case, the distro section and then the mfos minisynth under it) both the MFOS and the ody are augmented with an extra MFOS envelope as well.. so yeah.. then i have another sequencer peripheral row expander unit that has 2 more rows of cv with coarse and fine tunes and each has the controll line mod i did. then i got my friend Karl's octave kitten to fix and open on the main bench.. add to that now the 909's rim trigger issue to solve (workaround and maintenence in progress) . i also have a poly 6 which is fairly fucked to repair for a client in detroit.
<br />and an emax II rack to assemble for a friend in florida.
<br />
<br />so yeah theres alot onthe benches now. to say the least.

SOMETHING that was connecting that bus to ground. since when i was testing and isolating things.. i discoed the bus line from ground and the leds still worked!?!?!?! W T F ? so obviously somewhere else something was touching to ground. after a while and another weirdness, it went to normal. ! hot damn! but im not sure why the other weirdness happened.. the CV A's tl084 snapped and POPPED! just like that. it totally shit itself.. nothing touched it, connected with it or anything... so i replaced that and began a full test .<br /><br />so now every module works as it was designed to.<br />including the prototype of the SLIDE>. its mad sweet.<br /><br />now all thats left is the module for the xternal clock trigger comparator-buffer and the wiring of the trigger outs to 2 DB25's for the gate hold module. then that guy gets tucked into his case and ever so gently put into place.... man i cant wait!<br />here are some pics and videos.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz6TwhZjK2RNl9M1YuUSgdjRCFC0Iqlj-_DKEN1GspBi8PeGDc_mNYjqm_Qre0uffmR9CQXV__1lPQ2vbxEFg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwwMMaWXT34JwHnB2Hi58ygGeA20urVCZK593SylhRZme6WtBJOBpulbw81ic9GKZ4H2Dn_w-XjlQgIvJiK2w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxE6ijvndYsc_Gg1GV2pU8cZ1LXhCNGoHbBr_Z9va4UQ7QJUYAjUrZ1aj3hL6__DWqFfveyvcoZjyKR0AdAgw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-82356909960271024352011-03-07T07:44:00.001-08:002011-03-07T07:50:38.896-08:00more pics.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupEtEXxr8cvSFvQa0laS7e-YY0m_KVWC0RUQluF0pzomEeTpbdONamTJO_04hQo3gkhTOBTYMTp2-l74ell4BGdehzrUaMjwNcjV4QhEdwIsCQAIqsZ6Cpwhz_AFp05JpFkTZBkU5xlM/s1600/levi+11.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupEtEXxr8cvSFvQa0laS7e-YY0m_KVWC0RUQluF0pzomEeTpbdONamTJO_04hQo3gkhTOBTYMTp2-l74ell4BGdehzrUaMjwNcjV4QhEdwIsCQAIqsZ6Cpwhz_AFp05JpFkTZBkU5xlM/s400/levi+11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581365107442529858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhipLs5JkkWvmE4iCm_JnqTKRzmdtBBkng7nFC8yK4vCz7f53e0Ay1u4siLR_oo9LspmZmZzMfJRJy6ejCrjPPnnr_9r-fsRhZUTVF2kTrlrL2tlYB1nKdIkpzgioe-y1MvnaWLAy6F1fg/s1600/levi+10.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhipLs5JkkWvmE4iCm_JnqTKRzmdtBBkng7nFC8yK4vCz7f53e0Ay1u4siLR_oo9LspmZmZzMfJRJy6ejCrjPPnnr_9r-fsRhZUTVF2kTrlrL2tlYB1nKdIkpzgioe-y1MvnaWLAy6F1fg/s400/levi+10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581365101387742434" border="0" /></a>power connections, 4 bit line switchers, db 15's for the swithcers and .01" headers for every connection to and from anything moveable or modifiable.

DING another winner! then last was the slide and its led generator.. OHH SNAP! 3 for 3. all the connections have .10 headers to connect them with corresponding pots, buses, jacks, buffers etc, so it took quite a while to do the connectors and to get all the wiring coded, and discernably labeled.<br /><br />so far its all good. i havent been able to see every channel running yet though since i dont have 3 sets of mod switchers on the bench test set up. so i would run one at a time to test the lines and connections. really the last thing will be testing the actual functions to make sure the cvs aer correct and that the gates are correct . i also have to wire the slide bus to the corresponding normal and portamento outs. then its trimming the pot shaft lengths with the dremel, wiring the connectors for the clock and rest links to the previos sequencers, finishing the rear panel connections for external 4 bit outs and power etc, and attaching the opening door/case for the entire enclosure, then last but not least putting on all the knobs and the rosewood trim strips. once all thats donr.. the very very last thing will be to make the 3- 12 conductore cables that go to the 4bit mod line inverters. then its install time. about fuckin time. whew....synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-41703077149484884232011-01-30T19:43:00.000-08:002011-01-30T20:10:28.772-08:00beginning to take a very nice form...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ESDGyZR8ICbcOV_mtt4KH0iR1E7SyfdFkSmXlWkM4xBU4RzVaAg5GabQ6OVTHzEj-rfpLNKA9rI0Rq2hu182H1cUinwsRThQMzB5XL_U-nLF45WzYGJrjrB6kuxC9ydrDHbLnhA4b3c/s1600/MM+and+me.jpg"><img style="float: left;

(4/40 taps dont like to be twisted or torques to hard. theyll say no and snap)<br /><br />i used 3 pieces of angle stock to make each row. (oddly enough this is just a 1/16th over the actual size of one U rack measurments) i have this sitting in ait own area so its not directly touching any other rack gear so its no issue... the bottom is just face plate surface and will have the step numbers and info on it. the second is the switch row itself and the 3rd is a 3/4 size piece that will house a bi-colour led (red-green) for staus and scroll/count/step indication. so because of the nature of the mechanical switch you can see to parameters at once. - the hold faetures all together via the yellow mechanical flip, and the current step AND status of that step via the dual color led. so its not too bad.<br /><br />im re-using an old set of rack ears from an s700 that has been canniballized for another project.. the rear panel for this module will have several db -25 connectors on the back the interfacn/connections to the main sequencer unit. so its all about figuring out now exactly where in the circiut this fucker needs to go...<br /><br />one biiiiiiig step closer. id say about a month to 2 month it will be testable...:)synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-12641029967078617952010-12-19T19:21:00.000-08:002010-12-19T19:31:34.078-08:00trudging on...as ivve now spent almost a year doing this never ending sequencer project.. i reach a point where ive actaully been able to see the end.. this last sequencer is so encompassing to create, with so many interconnections. switches and just complexity that its daunting at times. today WASNT one. all cv channels, gate channels, and the slide channel are all now manufactured and connected. all digital line buffers are in and awaiting connection to the main switchers. the gate hold module is about 40 % done. ive uploaded pics of the way ime going to mount the super duper sweet dpdt push buttn latch switches im going to use for it. i found them for a buck a piece from a surplus supply place. they have a machanical status indication inside the button (which allows mw to see a series of gate holds together to know where they start and stop) i count ask for a better switch. they are THE SHIT! and they are double sided as well which really makes the assembly free-er. so these will be used to hold the gates and slur them between steps. (so envelpoes will tie together and open up like a 303 or funky slurs/legato portamento on the minimoog). a very nice little feature that really isnt too terrible amounts of work really.<br />its all relative.<br /><br />well heres the pics.synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-596531576344061642010-11-09T05:29:00.001-08:002010-11-09T05:43:04.469-08:00ideas as wellive also found an imterestimg cmos ic. : the cd 4066 quad switch. basicly it 4 switches integrated into one small 14 pin dip ic. you ask how this may be useful? i ll explain.. say you have a row of triggers with physical switches. you have to drill holes for everyone and wire everyone and have faceplate realeastate for each one. thats all well and cool, but depending on how much money u want to spend.. can be costly and time consuming depending on style of switch.. so ive been thinking of this chip for a drum programmer unit. basicly a large trigger sequencer with a ton of rows for triggering drums and envs or whatever. say 4-8 rows depending. so i can have one row of 16 step switches (like the 808-909) and then selelct between the instrument rows for their use. the only issue im trying to solve is one of power to that row after selection is done..<br /><br />the chip uses and the vdd volatge as the on status for the switch input and the vss voltage (or lack of) for the off. basicly system power and ground. mine would be +12 an ground in this case. i guess i can just switch the power from another source to "hold" the stauts of each switch after i remove the row from the programmer circuit. like a "lock" switch. another issue is that upon powering down all sequences will be lost. but it would enable me to put all of this into say 3 or 4 rack spaces then for 8 rows of gates and triggers. one row of programmer switches (reeeeeal nice ones) and then a 4-8 x 16 grid of leds that correspond to each rows triggering status and one row of counter "current step" leds. just an idea....<br /><br />also this would involve me going one more step into all of this stuff and etching my own boards. it would only be wise to do this for such a large amount of ic wiring and repeating circuits. and size as well. im working on how to make each row independant lengths and modes as well. (bi directional, reverse, random etc) it would be a seriously ridiculous analog drum programmer unit, that would be super original.synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-76161921515209930242010-11-08T20:00:00.000-08:002010-11-09T05:26:10.193-08:00leviathan apraoches<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7r1KcPb8SAlFJvrlLF1pESPW5a3DPdWPqbGvGYoI7XJ6Hk4DpJdkzNT5WjOnA_9YZMWPGYNioMSPZlyxiH7YEPAux7on36FT292Ii_XjzFN31ImU-XtxSK_YtVxg61MfQwvVJ7NjPOr0/s1600/4067+inversion+chart+2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7r1KcPb8SAlFJvrlLF1pESPW5a3DPdWPqbGvGYoI7XJ6Hk4DpJdkzNT5WjOnA_9YZMWPGYNioMSPZlyxiH7YEPAux7on36FT292Ii_XjzFN31ImU-XtxSK_YtVxg61MfQwvVJ7NjPOr0/s400/4067+inversion+chart+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537539840519518610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxT9lfOco6Lh4TswHzCk41PDMpBes4dv22hKyquvFuiEC3IQ4kgDnc35_VauI8B4ZusxP__D5JOvQbVU2c1Lsa2qUIya2gqtUH7jqwYrPUsPCDhSqL8O8vAkzGD-leMWz-ftn9jiJ82Y/s1600/control+line+flow.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxT9lfOco6Lh4TswHzCk41PDMpBes4dv22hKyquvFuiEC3IQ4kgDnc35_VauI8B4ZusxP__D5JOvQbVU2c1Lsa2qUIya2gqtUH7jqwYrPUsPCDhSqL8O8vAkzGD-leMWz-ftn9jiJ82Y/s400/control+line+flow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537539838491673410" border="0" /></a><br />so ive sort of take everything from the first sequencer on here and added all of it to the new one thats about 85% done. additional features : gate hold per sequencer to slur-tie your gates together for envelope holds. selectable per-step portamento (aka "slide" ) like on the tb-303/csq-600/sh-101 sequencers. and last nbut not least 3 sets of digital line inversions for cv channel A, B and Slides! ill have some new pics inthe next couple days.. its been quite a consuming wiring task along with simply figuring out how it needs to be done for all this to happen. im sure they'll be lots of bugs to work out . i never plan on it working right off the bat:) heres a pic of the control line wiring that needs to be done to make this happen.<br /><br />the other image is the truth tables for cd4067 multi-de multiplexer ic. it is the translation of the 4 bit digital line and how its affected by the inversion of its pulse .. and what that means in reality to the sequencer running. basicly it does nested looping!!!! so it makes really sick variations of your pattern. 16 of them! when used in the "bi derectional" and "reset" modes, this does even weirder and cooler things. i havent been able to count the permutations yet.lets just say theres alot.synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-31813451408021061182010-07-20T21:48:00.000-07:002010-07-20T22:14:03.782-07:00still...<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzZZC3HF8Vv36L23zXbdF2N8xE9eIRYudeLDWKPyXDiEcCLs-MkVjuzS0JTiP7kn5ho0kHty_vE-Q7Y2nD26Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-15107268280185173642010-07-20T21:40:00.000-07:002010-07-20T21:47:38.739-07:00moremore<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy2ai0g-TtdnM-WgLhiM_zHek-vhlelPfZ_ZAGMLX5LN0ZMWrFL2s92HGl1Lmc1FzA76EyPpFJxJUCJe8gOSw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527455213067294370.post-89369364746001216422010-07-20T21:29:00.000-07:002010-07-20T21:39:02.292-07:00invertedmore video. for real now...<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyN1QyBkdyqLFqySeRSqtHh-m9wrKqg5dr1HqC1fSF_kV0mYQouAu2iHHCK2Y6dkGqAlUVBmVWN2kdTXbR2dg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>synthdrome412http://www.blogger.com/profile/14878238137950882377noreply@blogger.com0
