Progress on my own system and general update











As I already posted, I received the production VCO and VCF PCBs. If you were waiting til they were in stock, they're here so order away!

I also finished my own first official VCO and Triple EG. I haven't taken time yet to actually rack them and hook them into my audio system, but will try to make time this week so I can record some audio. The VCO calibrated right up with no problems and I am getting decent tracking.

This EG isn't as packed with voltage control as some newer EGs, but the Damp and Quathin are fun and I really like being able to turn the attack knob essentially into a trigger/gate delay time knob. Combining the output of EG3 with EG1 or EG2 is also very unique and you can put together some very complex envelopes this way. I also ordered a batch of Production EG PCBs.

I'm working on my filter right now and should have it done tomorrow evening. Next up a VCA I think, then my sequencer. That will be the first 5 done and verified.

I received the prototype PCBs for the Peak Selector and will try to get one stuffed soon. Nyle will also get a PCB to play with and test. And, I ordered the prototype for the Frequency Divider. Useful module all around.

  2. Hi, I am already offering PCBs on the "official" website and have a special going on eBay. The website has BOMs, schematics, building notes, order forms etc. Right now, I have VCO and VCF in stock and have ordered the EG PCBs. The parts are pretty easy to source from Mouser, etc. The only funky part is the 1K 3500 ppm thermistor, but yo ucan get those at precisionresistor.com or bridechamber.com
