  1. For the AOUT you need a +/- 12 V power supply.

    For the 8 gate outpouts an additional single DOUT.

    In the modular fashion people can choose to use the AOUT_LC

    instead of the AOUT.

    For the SEQ v3 the IIC MIDI module is needed further because

    f**king Microchip is not able to fix the EUSART bug.

    SMD is no option for me and would in my eyes scare off people.

    And I would like to keep the PCB's as simple as possible

    (no doube-sided, thru-plated PCB) so that everyone with the possibility

    can easily etch it.

  2. Yes. Isn't that what you were talking about?

    No, I talked about PCB's for the frontpanel stuff, see the title of this thread.

    For my taste a single PCB would be overpopulated with components.

    The kind of thing where it's hard to trace errors.

    And for my SEQ I want the AOUT and 8 gate outputs option.

    I doubt this whole stuff can be reasonably fit into one whole large PCB

    without creating a monster like the introspective 9090 PCB.

  3. Also, remember that any version of Eagle (assuming that is the CAD software used) which can do boards over 100mm x 160mm will cost a few hundred dollars.

    As I said:

    I'm using Abacom Sprint Layout 4.

    And as I'm the one who asked for an interest I will be the one who lays the stuff out.

    The discussion is going into strange ways, I just wanted to know who is interested

    to see if it's worth the effort. ???

  4. In the synthesizerforum.de there was the idea of creating a standard PCB layout

    for a standard frontpanel for the MIDIbox SEQ.

    Pros:

    - No hassle with stripe boards/bread boards

    - Standard frontpanel means cheaper case when doing

    a groupbuy or something like that

    Contras:

    - No real individual layout possible even when the PCBs are splitted or something like that

    - The layout cannot deal with all possible components. It should support

    components that are easily available like the DTL-2 switches.

    I know some people who are interested in the MIDIbox SEQ but are put off

    by the complexity of having to deal with the frontpanel stuff.

    Let me know what you think.

    I know that a big group in the DIY-world argument that they want an individual

    self-made design but what interest me is how many here would find a good standard

    design ok.

    And there is someone in Slovenia who can eventually make a standard case design

    with silk screening and a professional look and even cheaper than an engraved panel:

    http://www.prodigy-pro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16021

    (Downside: At least 10 people have to order such a case)

    I'm currently waiting for 2 cases for my Gssl-Project to test the quality of Purusha's cases.

  5. Btw could the original bulk buyer pass on the details for the supplier ..so i may make a purchase here from them within the uk.

    The supplier was Profusion. I only have details for their german office which

    doesn't help you much.

    If you start a group buy by yourself please open a new thread.

    Edit: The AD group buy is also closed. No possibility to join there, sorry.

  6. Da das Feedback im englischen Fleamarket gegen null geht,

    versuche es mal hier nochmal anzkündigen.

    Weitere Info auf Englisch hier:

    und auf Deutsch hier:

    (Analog Devices)

    und hier:

    (THAT)

    Die THAT chips sind z.B. super für doppelte Exponentialkonverter.

    Wenn ich die habe, werde ich mit dem THAT300 eine Platine für einen Korg MS-02 Klon

    bauen (der benutzt im Original ja 2SC1583, die eigentlich gar nicht so prall sind und mittlerweile

    sind 2 Stück auch teurer als 1 THAT300).

    Nen Moogfilter werde ich auch mal mit den Dingern aufbauen.

  7. We reached the 50 pieces line on the 340 & 2180B

    For the 300 only 5 more are needed.

    I think you'll never get these chips so cheap again. ;)

    The 300 is needed for new version of the Oakley Supper Ladder

    which comes soon.

    Btw.: I'm currently also doing a group order for some AnalogDevices chips:

    Prices excluding VAT (16% german one):

    SSM2210PZ: 3,43 Euro, 25: 2,88 Euro, 100: 2,50 Euro

    SSM2220PZ 50: 3,365 Euro

    SSM2164PZ:

    4,73 Euro, 25: 3,96 Euro, 100: 3,02 Euro

    AD633JNZ:

    5,72 Euro, 25: 4,79 Euro, 100: 3,65 Euro

    Current list there is:

    90 x SSM2210

    49 x SSM2220

    46 x SSM2164

    21 x AD633J

    Maybe you want to join there if not in the THAT groupbuy.

  8. Ok, I'll tell you examples where you can use this chips:

    300:

    - Your own fancy Moog filter clone

    - Your own dual expo converter

    - Oakley Supper Ladder, new version

    320:

    - New version of the Yves Usson Arp 4072 Filter with 3 x THAT320 instead of the 6 x SA798

    340:

    - 1 x for the MOTM-485 GX-1 filter

    (ask Paul personally for a PCB, at the end of 2006 he will discontinue the whole 5 U line

    and only sell assembled 3 U modules in frac rack format)

    2180B:

    - 2 x for the Papareil Synth Labs Dual VCA

    - 3 x for the Gyraf SSL-4000 clone

    - Replacement for the DBX2150 without the need for trimmers (factory trimmed)

  9. Update:

    Only one distributor wrote back so far and here are the prices:

    (Packs of 25 pieces, only multiples of 25 are possible)

    25 50 100 250 500 1000

    THAT300 4,46 € 4,53 € 4,32 € 3,89 € 3,23 € 2,77 €

    THAT320 4,46 € 4,53 € 4,32 € 3,89 € 3,23 € 2,77 €

    THAT340 4,46 € 4,53 € 4,32 € 3,89 € 3,23 € 2,77 €

    THAT2180B 4,05 € 3,77 € 3,59 € 3,24 € 2,73 € 2,34 €

    They come from the UK, so add 18,5 % VAT and of course the shipping costs to me

    which they didn't wrote me (argh! ::))

    The 4,46 € are a mistake but they are bound to it (1 month),

    they meant 4,86 €.

  10. Mal ne blöde Frage, da ich bisher noch gar kein 19" Leergehäuse geholt habe:

    Sind die Löcher zur Verbindung mit dem Gehäuse eigentlich irgendwie genormt

    oder sind die bei jeder Marke anders?

    Frage deshalb, weil das Layout für die 9090 für Maplin-Gehäuse ausgelegt ist

    und sonst nirgendwo zu passen scheint. ???

    Ich hätte nämlich gern das Standard-TK-Layout für nen 3 HE Gehäuse.

    Hab allerdings auch kein Vektorprogramm zur Verfügung, kann also nur

    den Frontplatten-Designer von Schaeffer nutzen. :'(

  11. The last time I announced a groupbuy here I've posted it in the german section

    only and I've got only one serious response and this was after the deadline.

    So now I'll try this here:

    -> This groupbuy is only for the following chips of the THAT-Corporation:

    300

    320

    340

    2180B

    All in DIP-format only.

    Please don't ask for other formats (SOIC) or other THAT chips!

    If there is not enough interest in one of these types

    it will not be ordered (miminum is: 25 pieces per type).

    I'll check the prices regularly dependent on changes of

    the total amount of chips requested here.

    -> Deadline:

    22nd September 2006, 20 o'clock (CEST)

    -> If your interest is price dependent:

    Please post at which price you would like to order which

    amount of which type.

    -> Shipping/Payment:

    I will ship only per registered mail or insured packet to avoid

    problems with items that never get to the buyer.

    My location is Germany. You can pay per bank transfer

    or per PayPal (not with a credit card!). I'll have to do

    this per prepayment because else I don't have the money

    to start the groupbuy.

    After the deadline I'll first collect the money and then

    order the chips.

    -> If you want to stay anonymous to the board send me a PM

    and I'll post your amount anonymously here.

    -> Current list (9th September 2006):

    45 x 300 (55 more needed for 3,92 US $ per piece excluding VAT)

    30 x 320 (70 more needed for 3,92 US $ per piece excluding VAT)

    63 x 340 (37 more needed for 3,92 US $ per piece excluding VAT)

    50 x 2180B  (50 more needed for 3,62 US $ per piece excluding VAT)

    No interest from here so far: Shame on you! :P

  12. Mein Problem sind jetzt zuerst mal die hohen Banküberweisungsgebühren aus CH.

    Von daher hab ich vorab Fragen die wichtig sind um den Teileeinkauf zu planen.

    Hab ja in dem anderen Thread schon angeboten zu sammeln.

    Bei den Encodern bin ich mir allerdings noch nicht so sicher, welche ich mir

    hole. Die Bourns halten ja anscheinend nicht so lange und die von Pollin sehen

    beschissen aus (da is ja der Potiknopf nicht wechselbar schon drauf).
