  1. Hi ya!

    Sorry for me bad enklish.

    Solder taps are the spots to solder on.. Usually round and with hole in the center :D I´m sorry, I´ve made a board with previous layout and the legs for the rectifier needed bigger drill. There wasn´t much space to solder there.

    Cap Ys are for life.. Plain and Simple; "How Do You Do" :D

    I hope You´ll get the Braid.. :D

    p.s. You are doing fine!

  2. That seems a pretty good price for the specs!  Pity about the tiny pins but maybe it's workable?

    You can be the beta tester!

    Cascadeable serial - does that mean it can be fed from one/two PIC pins?

    2-3, Just check the datasheet out.

    16 channels would be a bit overkill and if all 16 channels get their OpAmps etc., everything wouldn´t fit onto a 80x100 mm board. Could the opamps be moved to another board?  Or some of them?  IE a 4 or 8 channel implementation with optional plug in opamp board?

    I don´t know. 4 x SOIC OpAmps don´t cost that much space.

  3. Hi,

    yes, cap thing should work i guess, provided that the charge leakage is very low ..otherwise static signals stored might drift. However i beleive it is possible to prevent this happening with the correct configuaration of negative feedback to stabalise against any really slow drifts.

    There are no "static signals" - S&H is constantly updated with current voltage in the DAC output. NJU7304 was pretty good at droop rate of 1mV/5ms.

    Of course "low leakege" is needed, but I can´t see reason to use OTA (with hold cap and buffer OpAmp) as analog switches already have MegaOhm off state, so it´s more up to the cap and switching rate to hold the voltage.

  4. Yeah, I understand that, because I own both a Jx3p and a PG200!!

    The PG200 looks like it would be pretty easy to homebrew, though I'm not sure if it houses a custom IC.

    It has Roland custom mask programmed 8048. I´m not sure if it´s possible to dump internal code even with hacking. But the protocol is most likely pretty simple so as DrBunsen suggests.. data logging and reverse engineering could be "easy"..

    I'm actually wanting a PG300 workalike, because i've just got myself a JX8 minus the programmer.

    Actually You want a PG800 workalike ;D PG300 is for alphaJunos and MKS-50.

  5. Hi,

    Rumours tell that those PA397 chips were originally from Tom Oberheims Marion Systems MRS-2 synth. Seen original Evolver circuit board photo with OnChip PA397. Also the OnChip systems owns CEM chip designs.

    (quoting) Dave:

    "yes; the chip is very close to the Marion. Has 2 oscillators, LP

    filter, a few VCAs all on one chip. "

    This smells pretty much like 3396. So, oscillators are actually waveshapers.

    Pro-one is nothing like Prophet5 for that matter, direct Voltage control versus uC based system with memory.
