I just like the top soldering trick... Set your Spotify or similar to some nice playlist and work away
It saves me lots of time, then I'll just use my nifty Engineer nz-12 side cutters. If you visit the link, make sure to also get the nice nozzle tip solder sucker they sell. It's super handy!
-
Sometimes it's just flux residue and too little solder etc. Did you check this already? If that's OK it's probably some issue with sift registers or some micro-bridge in the solder. Check if there's continuity between those traces and compare with the schematic just to make sure.

Browsed a few different Disco boards. It seems that the more advanced members of the F4 family all come with touch screen LCDs and they cost up to 60€. Still, crypto engine, lots of RAM and SDRAM is there.
A smaller "voice card"/MIDI gadget CPU could be a nice addition though.
-
A DDR controller would make it easier to make a DIY sampler or wavetable synth so it has its uses
Also, there are all kinds of small CPUs with DSP or FP acceleration so if one can wait a little there will be something new that will cost as little as the F4 with vast new capabilities.

Case on point being the desperate cries for help over at the Yocto forum as soon as inexperienced builders who are sold on the idea on getting an 808 have trouble as soon as some polyfilm cap is EOL at Mouser.
Linked BoM lists are handy, but it would be nice if people didn't take them as gospel.

Yo Peter!
Nao, dat missing JD-990 :p Haha, I'm such a gear slut!
Many greets to Bavaria from the again snow-covered North!

Ensoniq <3!
Too bad they got a bum rap back in the day due to some quality issues, they made some excellent-sounding and unique gear.
Nive tune as always! Thx for posting :)

Well, I got me a MIDIPal in a metal box quite some time back, but didn't the MIDIBud lead to the MIDIgal?
Annie-who, some kinda thing using Marquart or MEC switches, a 2x16 OLED and an all metal encoder (like the good ole CTS with switch as used by x0xb0x originally) plus having a fitted nice power switch would defo make me build a few more as they do come in handy...
The other day I briefly talked to a local hero who's designing for Cherry MX switches just because
-
Doesn't Samuel at Audiothingies carry this as MIDIbro too? That's also within the EU. However, that said, there's always room for a little customization like nicer switches, such as Digitast, Marquart, or something from Mec.dk. Also, one could trick it out using a fast OLED, integrate a power switch etc...
-
Lo and behold, it looks like some of the 7-pin OLEDs can be pressed into working as 4-pin SPI, but the data from some of the usual AliExpress sellers is a bit sketchy as to how. I'd buy a couple to test with with just because.
-
There's a guy called NV on Muffwiggler who made a really nice euro front panel for the Klee. Also, Dan Nigrin at Defective records has a software Klee out here: Software Klee It's worthwhile checking it out, but yes - a Klee type track in the MBseq would be tastee too.
-
Oh noes, now I have to finish mine sooner :)
Nice work! Both Andy and TK deserves much praise for these.
-
I'd take 10 if there's a decent price.
-
Good job! I like the tune :)
-
How awesome is that?! I already have more than I need of those, but this opens up the field to everyone who missed out back in the day.
-
They are both 9-pin! Although, the 3M's data sheet labels the pins 0-8, as opposed to the Würth's 1-9 :) The two tabs on the side aren't used as pins, their purpose is rather for stabilization and reducing the mechanical stress of the soldered connections.
-
I'm in Sweden, so I guess that means more expensive postage for people who are mainly in Germany. That said, we could arrange a European bulk order for the silicone buttons in case there's any interest. I don't know if we could amass enough people for a discount, but it should be feasible and might shave off some money for those :)

Try to find the Wurth Elektronik 693063010911 instead of the 3M version. Farnell and Elfa/Distrelec should have those.
-
That said, my Waldorf Q, the Supernova 2 and a whole lot of other hardware would benefit from this too. Of course, one of the issues would be handling synths with odd/poorly/undocumented Sysex like the Fizmo, or those that dump the entire patch every time you change something - like the Casio CZ series.
Anyways, before that lovely job happens, next week I'm off to the Bavarian countryside and Munich to say hi to mr Hawkeye, take some pictures and draw some diagrams; plus enjoy the south of Germany :) There's tons of work to do too. Like the Waldorf Q panel if we get to that... Later this fall I need to sit down and solder a fair bit before my own Programma is usable in my Stockholm lair. Of course, it will be cool to expose the controls of some DIY synths like the Shruthi, Ambika, Preen FM/2 and the P6 too. Or make a knobby Prophet VS :)
This, the extra analog panel with a joystick, LED sliders and footswitch inputs and the BLM will make a kick ass starship command console. Add Ilmenator's MIDI patchbay and a Mutable MIDIpal plus DIY gear from Peter Kvitek, and I can do whatever I want with my MBseq and MIDI gear without a computer unless I wanna.
More to follow.

UPS slaps on a brokerage fee and VAT later for Mouser orders. using FedEx lets you pay VAT straight away on the Mouser order, and there is nothing extra to deal with. At least, it's been that way for me lately.

The effect of the downwash on the straws is seriously hypnotic! At first I had it figured for filming inside a car in a car wash :) Nicely done, the music too!

A smart PCB with SMDs would be more than welcome. There's no point in having through-hole just for the sake of through-hole. It has its uses, but SMD is fine as long as the very fine pitch stuff is avoided.

Wow, nice. Gotta make me one at some future data when I'm not tied down by the artistry of traveling lots for work with various clients in the NFT/APM world... Just stick a Blaupunkt label under the OLED and your car radio is good to go

Ooh, it has that old school vibe going :) Nice work!
