Well the current idea is to make the window out of two panels Window SVG The frontpanel is cut to size of the frontpanel. The back one is a bit bigger. So that you can use doublesided tape or glue to fit it. The two plates will be bonded together. This will make sanding it down a bit more difficult though.

I asked for a production sample first. So i am making a drawing for it in illustrator now. I am a bit concerned on the measurments though. Wilba's FPD file specifies 83mm x 31,20mm. Question is if i make the window exactly this size, will it fit? Or should we compensate a little bit. Any clues?

I have asked, but i seem to remember you can join them with chloroform. They have a lot of colors. So both red en green should be possible. Not sure if that will influence price. But i have asked that as well :wink: .

Where did you get yours? I got word from my contact at frontplaten.net. He made some stuff before for midibox usage. He suggested to make a window out of two pieces of 1.5mm. As an additional option it would be possible todo it in a different color or a full color print. The current estimate for 10 pieces is 85 euro. So that would be 8,50 euro a piece.

Yeah me too. I have sent out an e-mail. I'll let you guys know as soon as i hear anything.

Ok, i'll do some checking. Just informal for now. Is everyone using a 1.5mm panel?

I kinda need one too. Maybe if we have enough people we can have some made?

Das MCR69 benutzt in der Design ich gefunden habe, ist 100V. So ich glaube das ein TIC106D (400V) ausreichend ist.

Hallo Peter, Du hab das richtig geschnallt. Ich habe auch ein andere design gefunden: http://www.cbm8bit.com/public/heavy_duty_PSU.pdf Dass design benutzt ein crowbar mit IC. Das IC ist akkurater dann ein Z-diode.

My 6581 R3 and R4 are very different. At least if you compare the volume level. The R3 output level is considerabely lower. And there is no difference in Voltage....both are 12V :thumbsup:

Jeez, that stinks. As if the forum spammers weren't bad enough.

It's been awhile since i posted any updates. I finally managed to get all the parts for the PSU. I will be using a LM22675 for the 9V supply and a LM22676 for the 5V section. These baby's are high efficient (85-95% depending on components) and the switch freq is 500kHz. Getting my hands on those regulators took me a long time. I initially was going for an older model LM2676. However after 2 months waiting Futurelec couldn't deliver those. So i started looking for another source. To only discover i could source them straight from National Semi as a sample. Apparently this is quiet popular :wink:, so they charge you 12 dollars for shipping. Which is of course only fair and made me feel less guilty. :angel: After that i used National Semi's online WeBench design tool, to select all the parts. After a hard and long look, i could match selected components with stuff at Reichelt. Only the Power Inductors were not in National Semi's partlist. The WeBench tool has the option to add custom components and it turned out the Power Inductors Reichelt has are up to spec. Only thing i couldn't find was some 0,01 uF ceremic smd in 12xx size. But i found those at Conrad. The schematics are here: LM22676 Schematic LM22675 Schematic I am currently in the process of designing the boards in Eagle. I am sticking to the design layouts in the datasheets. Only tricky bit it that both IC have an exposed pad. Which basically is a small metal surface on the bottom of the IC for heat transfer. You need to solder this to the board. And it has to have vias to the other side of the board for additional heat transfer. If you want to hand solder them, apparently you need to add one big via in the middle. So that you can stick your solder iron through it. Another option of course is to use thermal adhesive. I haven't decided yet. Here is a preview off one of the unfinished boards:

Cool, looks good. Are you making the TR808 clone from http://xlargex.xl.funpic.de/ ?

And on-topic again :ahappy: I bought a Fostex VF-160 on ebay a couple of days ago. It's a digital recording desk with harddisk and cdr. It can record 16 channels. However to get to 16 channels you will need to get something like an ADA8000.

Here are some more interesting pages for you reading pleasure: http://yusynth.net/Modular/index_en.html http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/mfosweb/navigate.action?MAINTAB=SYNTHDIY

What do you use nILS? Recording wise not OS :sweat:

A cheap copy?

Good to see the large amount of reaction. Thanks for that guys. The topic offeres no clear answer but that was to be expected as there are so many people with so many different needs. It did however give me some insight in which direction to move. Will keep you updated on what i will buy.

Yeah those samples are great. That's also the reason i build one. But havent finished it yet. Still need to make a CS.

I don't think i deserve a high-end solution yet. And besides i am not willing to spend 2k. I did see a second hand Korg 168RC for sale with an RME adat card for 400 euro. The Korg is a full digital desk. But it's way old 1996-1998. So not sure if its worth spending money on it.

Ofcourse i have a mixer. Not sure if that's the best solution for recording as it's adding another analog audio path. I did loads of research as well. It's starting to drive me mad :tongue:

I was curious what most of you guys use for recording songs. I have a Phonic 302 Firewire interface, but with 2 channels it can't quite keep up with my growing synth collection. So i am in the market for something new. Not sure which direction to go yet.

I build one last week. Surprised how well it sounds. Almost made the mistake with the two shift registers. Thank god i re-read and only soldered 1 chip with 2 legs :whistle:

That's indeed a very nice sound. I wonder how much is the formant synthesis and how much is fm sound. :whistle:
